You can also customise the page templates in terms of colour of the background and of the lines to any colour at all. And do the same with the included covers too.
Great video! Thanks for your nuanced, personal opinion and perspective here.... I would just emphasize, what you practically said between the lines towards the END: Personally for me, the BIGGEST let-down of GN6 is just THAT, that we won't seeing all the USEFUL requested, more anolouge feeling updates we actually WANTED EVER in GN"5" then, like: - Internal Links, oh my gawd.. - Pencil, - Layers, - Grouping elements, - Watercolour -brushes..., --> actually being able to CUSTOM-COLOURIZE all folders and NOT with these garish limited ones.. (Why not a simple colour-wheel?!) - who needed these limited ICONS, just use emojiis - hideous new cartoon design of folders, worse than ever, I even miss the old ugly light-blue ones now - folders still TOO BIG!! ( why cant we change the whole folder SYMBOLS? Or at least the SIZE?!) - GN looks more crowded and chaotic than ever - overall the UI ist too bold - Tool-bar now even MORE DOMINANT Blue, unable to HIDE still when in EDITING MODE, I hoped that would have change by now.. ;-( - Unnecessary AI, feels little "invasive" even etc etc..) But the WORST thing is that NOW they abolished the GN5 design, that was imo to 80%perfect, with a few annoying missing features, that one completely MISSED the spot.. But let's see.. Thanks for your video, though.. 🙂 I will stick with the 3 FREE notebooks, ready to DOWNGRADE at ANY TIME!! 🙂
PS: And YEAH, of course, as you mentioned, the SUBSCRIPTION model SUCKS as well ;-) at least we should have MULTI-PLATFORM access when paying the ONE-TIME PAYMENT!
PPS: I also would be a FAN of a RADIAL MENU like in PROCREATE for my tools quick acess so we could HIDE the menu completely to have proper writing space! Sorry for writing SOO LONG! I'm just still ANGRY with GN6, who formely was my FAVOURITE APP!! Have a good day!
@@janmartenlocherTotally agree with all your criticisms of GN 6 😄 I’m looking into switching to NoteShelf or Noteful. NoteShelf is coming out with a new version but stated on their Facebook page that it’s not a subscription 👍🏻
Completely agree! I wanted to make sure to give all the new features the spotlight, I acknowledge that for some they may be really amazing. But for those of using the app for creative/personal note taking, this update does feel like it missed the mark. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, excellent summary of some of the features I'm hopeful Goodnotes will introduce in the future.
Well presented information 👍🏻 I won’t be update to GN 6 as I only use GN for digital planning and I don’t need any of the new features, especially AI. Also I’m a very low income senior citizen so subscriptions are not in my budget.
Great video, love your planners. For sure sticking with 5 and already experimenting with Noteful which looks promising but hate that sticker books don’t exist. Can’t wait to get the 2024 planner
The sticker books definitely keep me coming back to GoodNotes! I'm overcommitted at this point :) I'm so happy to hear you love the planners! as you can see from my slow response, I've been hard at work on them, but they're up in the shop now.
Great video. For the text tool, on the bottom of the screen there appears to be a font icon below your keyboard. Does that work for changing font colour, size...etc. Also when it comes to price I feel GN is trying get a quick increase in revenue for some reason at $120 USD per year per users. As of 2011 it appeared they had 19 million users, if most users upgrade that is millions of dollars coming in quickly. I feel if they would just keep it at $9.99 per month per user they would have more users buying in to the upgrade. I am more thinking of doing the one time payment, I'm just not if there will be future restrictions that we are not aware of over and above the sync to multiple devices, as well as the limit backups.
Sorry for the slow response, just noticed I missed this comment! At the moment, I still don't think they offer support for changing text size - just a few options for heading/body text pre-set styles and sizes. I completely agree that the subscription model without any warning felt very abrupt for many users.
Great video I’m a newbie and trying to understand all this. Have a ? I use my iPad can I be synced to my phone? I did download a free planner but have no idea which one is best
Does GN6 have better shape editing features? Like having shape add/remove nodes, hatch/fills updating with the shape…. Edit: and hopefully they bring in dashed, dotted lines asap.
I haven't personally seen any changes to the shape tool, and I didn't see mention in the release notes, so I don't believe they made any changes in this latest version. I do think we will see dashed/pencil lines soon!
Yes! They've been adding in new features so quickly! This video is already due for an update, I definitely can't complain, so happy to see all the new features :)
I need to take notes in workplace, classroom setting and sometimes from newspaper. I am writing articles for newspaper. Do i need goodnotes6 or goodnotes5. ? I bought ipad recently. Pls suggest
If you're just getting started with GoodNotes, the only version currently available is GoodNotes 6 and that's definitely the best version to start on since it's their latest update and will continue to receive updates in the future.
it was like a bait and switch though. hey, one time purchase for the app and youre good. then all of a sudden you have to buy it again after you have dedicated months or years to using this as all in one note app. so youre either stuck with goodnotes5, which how long before that becomes obsolete with new tech, then youre stuck paying. what about privacy if you use this for something like medical notes like pain logs or something?
I am trying to understand if there is a difference between the yearly subscription and the one time fee? Because I feel better paying 30$ one time vs 10$ per year. Basically since I'm 95% in the Apple ecosystem, I feel that 30$ a year is a worth while but what am I losing compared to the subscription?
If you don't see some of the options shown in my video, you may have to go to the app store and manually "update" to the latest version, hope that helps!

I'm so sorry to hear about this!
