Terrible on android! There is no full library sync, as a person coming from the iPhone/ iPad version which is wonderful, this version is slow, doesn't have full library offline sync(as a one click so you have to go to every item and load), takes forever to load a notebook initially, is extremely laggy when scrolling through pdfs, doesn't have a good outline feature to browse chapters of notebooks, doesn't have a good UX in general, can't scroll through pages fast on the preview pane when, etc

I've long been a Goodnotes apostle. It basically got me through anesthesia school and I never would've searched for anything else. At that time, I had an iPad that was my primary note taking device and an iPhone. Shortly after graduation, I switched to a Z Fold 5 (still iPad for tablet). Everything still worked well, but the syncing options were horrendous. Then, my next phone is a traditional-style Android and the app isn't even compatible? Why? It isn't a form factor issue when iPhone has it.

Horrible compared to iPad app. Writing lags. the cover and page feature is extremely confusing. No way to utilize button on S Pen. It can make a good Delete or Undo button. No undo on two or three finger tap. No mind mapping templates. Templates are confusing. Installing a template and creating a notebook using a template gave me a notebook with 13 pages with the cover page template.
