A lot of student use Goodnotes, and the way they use it is just the same as what they can do with the native Notes app. Apple are really bad at explaining what their native apps can do. So many people use things like Fantastical, 1Password, OmniFocus, Scanner Pro, Evernote etc - and when you look at what they do with them, they just don't need to use them...

cornycopier said: I think you'd find that the apps that you listed go above and beyond ANY of the stock apps on iOS/iPadOS. Whether an individual uses 3rd party apps to their full potential or exactly as if they're stock apps really isn't your choice or business. You enjoy your stock apps and we'll enjoy our 3rd party apps. It's all good. Side note: To be sure, as a daily user of Goodnotes for many years (seriously, all day every day at work), Apple Notes isn't even remotely in the same ball park. Click to expand...

Apple must approach these app developers in advance and secretly offer prototype devices to support development of these new features. How else can such support be rolled out so quickly after the announcement?

Now, if only the iPhone Pro Max would support the Apple Pencil.

Goodnotes is a terrible app, they never update with useful features, there is no password protection, honestly it feels like the app is a light scam, I don't trust Goodnotes..

I use Nebo (no subscription) and one note ( part of office 365 subscription) myself. Neither yet take advantage of the pencil pro though. All I get in Nebo or Onenote is undo/redo instead of the palette

Japan Ricardo said: I agree, apart from your last sentence. They do go way beyond what the stock apps do in most cases (not sure about Scanner Pro?) and it's only 'my business' in the sense that it's an interesting debate - but most people don't use them to their full potential. There's always the risk that these companies will go bust, hike their prices, get hacked etc. I used to use OmniFocus, but I spent more time fiddling with it than Getting Things Done. Fantastical didn't do anything FOR ME that the stock Calendars app doesn't do, and Scanner Pro is entirely redundant now. If you can be bothered, why is Apple Notes so inferior to Goodnotes? Genuinely interested... I particularly need to be able to share notes with other iOS and Mac users, and collaborate on them. Click to expand...

APP OF THE DAY
Goodnotes 6
Notes Reimagined.
With GoodNotes 5 , note-taking doesn’t have to be boring. Create custom notebooks where you can type (or handwrite) brainstorms, highlight documents and PDFs, and create interactive presentations. What we love: GoodNotes gives you total creative freedom. Customize your paper type (everything from school-style ruled notebooks to accounting ledgers and sheet-music staffs), type and draw on the same page, or share your work and use a laser pointer to call out your particularly brilliant thoughts.
Quick tip: On iPad, GoodNotes is even more powerful. Use your Apple Pencil to draw shapes—which the app automatically polishes up—or to jot down your next big idea. The app can recognize your handwriting (even when you can’t) and convert it to text. Meet the creator: Launched in 2011 by Steven Chan, GoodNotes began as a simple note-taking app. With the unveiling of the Apple Pencil, Chan saw the potential to change what the world thought was possible with “paper,” and the app grew into a multifaceted idea-sharing platform.

Here's how: Open the same document twice in two windows. In the GoodNotes window that you will not want the audience to see, tap the Share button in either window and make sure GoodNotes is set to "Mirror Presenter Page". In the other window, which will be visible to your audience, tap Share and choose "Present from This Window." You can ...
Ever since iOS 16 I've had problems with the presentation mode on my iPad (Pro 12.9" 5th generation). It just doesn't work. Often, I can only mirror the whole iPad screen. Ans only if I go into the iPad settings and choose to mirror the screen. I can't replicate the problem because sometimes the presentation mode works but most times it ...

At the moment it will not be in presentation mode. You Quicktime on your computer and select "New Movie Recording" without actually start the recording. Instead, by pressing the little downward arrow next to the recording button, you select your iPad as your "camera". At the moment Goodnotes will still not be in presentation mode.
Tap on the share button and select the preferences for presentation mode. There should be the option to mirror the entire screen. Reply. try1231 • 2 yr. ago. But it can only either share the whole ipad screen which include my notes on beside, or share the full page zoomed out, which is not really practical as i need to write and show the page ...
Presentation mode. Hi guys, Not sure if anyone else has encountered this issue, but recently I have started using iPadOS 16 on my iPad Pro which comes with a bunch of new features including dedicated external display support. However, with an external monitor connected, GoodNotes forces me into presentation mode meaning I cannot use my external ...
GoodNotes 5.3 will also introduce Dark Mode and an OCR Scanner feature. These new features require iPadOS to work on your device. These new features require iPadOS to work on your device.
In Goodnotes 6 Presentation Mode seems to not work properly. When choosing a new document in the file-explorer, the audience also can see my files and folders. Was not so in GN5 - the last document was locked and I could choose a new one without showing everything to the audience.

I use GoodNotes 4 to lecture in large classrooms. I had hoped to use it today, but when I fired up GoodNotes 5, and attached an external display to my iPad, the output didn't hide the user interface! Please, please, bring that feature back! I was really excited to use GoodNotes 5 for my lectures, but I'm stuck with 4 until this is a feature. Thank you for making an excellent product!
The presentation mode options only allows you to edit what it mirrors, but doesn't let your turn it off. Tap on the share icon top left and towards the bottom you should see "mirror entire screen". Tap that and you should be good! Then you can enable stage manager! I work with my iPad Pro connected to an external monitor, but everytime I ...
Nope. If Goodnotes suddenly goes bust, yes, it would suck but I would find an alternative. I will say that, for me, one stock app that is interesting, which I've been playing with, because I do see some potential for use in my setting, is Freeform. But it isn't quite ready to replace Goodnotes - FOR ME. I need that presentation mode first and ...
Read-Only mode hides both the Nav Bar and the Tool Bar so that you can see your notes or imported content in full screen without anything in the way. To enter Read-Only mode, simply tap the icon (Pen with a line through it) in the top right hand corner and both the Nav Bar and Tool Bar will disappear. That will then reveal a slimmed down ...
Especially if your page and presentation are both in landscape mode. BUT it is not ideal when working on a portrait pdf for an audience watching in landscape mode (computer screens). It fails to make full use of the screen. In the previous version of goodnotes, there was a more flexible lock screen option that fixed this.
Presentation Mode Zoom is off. I love that GoodNotes added presentation mode, so now I don't have those annoying black bars on the side of the TV I use for presentations. However, when I zoom in the screen mirroring is off. What shows on the left or right side of my monitor will be off screen on the iPad. It makes note-taking for my students ...

Presentation mode without interface on windows It would be much better if you can have the presentation mode that the audience doesn't see the interface while sharing on screen like in the picture. However, we still use the tool to teach our students.
Open that file on your iPad. For example, if the file is in iCloud Drive, you can open it there. Tap the Export button > Print. Spread with 2 fingers over the Print Preview panel.

By tapping on the share button in the navigation bar, you can choose the window you want to present from, essentially enabling you to do much more than screen lock did in GoodNotes 4.
