GoodNotes no more


Once my go-to for digital note-taking, GoodNotes used to be everything I needed—clean, efficient, and intuitive. I loved it so much I nearly bought the full version when it was still a one-time purchase.

(click here for my full review and ranting!!)

But after their big update, everything changed. They swapped the one-time payment for a subscription model, added confusing version tiers, and overloaded the app with flashy AI tools and a math solver. Instead of improving the experience, it left me overwhelmed and frustrated.

The simple, thoughtful interface was replaced by clutter. I haven’t opened the app since.

I thought I found my perfect creative space—turns out, I haven’t. So here I am, back on the hunt for a simple, no-frills note-taking app where I can let my ideas flow without getting lost in features I didn’t ask for.

Goodbye, GoodNotes. Sometimes less really is more.
RIP GoodNotes.
