Updates

When Apple said Genmoji would come by the end of the year, they weren’t kidding. But it’s here now. We might as well embrace it.

Woke up to an update from LiquidText for comments; auto-positioning them to the margins of our documents, and I found the perfect culprit.

Exciting updates are rare to come by these days in handwriting note-taking apps. But iPadOS 18 has been great for Apple Notes and Goodnotes has joined the party with their 6.5 update.

Nebo has given us a couple of updates in the last couple of months, and we’ll be covering them from Nebo 5 and their latest version, Nebo 6, to see what we can do in the app now.

We have received a lot of updates from Goodnotes 6 in the last couple of months. Our review of the app is due for an update now, because it’s not the same app anymore. But, before we get to that, let’s see what has been happening in the app.

A few features are missing in MarginNote 4, which we had in MarginNote 3. We could collaborate before, but now we can’t.

We also received several minor updates during the same period that are worth mentioning. We now have a ruler tool in the app.

Notability’s new privacy policy clearly outlines that we can’t delete our text transcripts from their servers. That’s a cause for concern.

GoodNotes 6 is the worst update GoodNotes has released to date. We see it as the developers’ way to raise money for the development of generative AI tools that no one has ever requested.

We now have widgets on our desktops on Mac, in macOS Sonoma.
