  1. I have a full iCloud. I have lots of old notes that I can archive off but I would much prefer to have them in a non-icloud folder so that they are there for reference.
    As far as I can see iCloud is only on or off.
    I suggest a non-backed up area so we can keep all our working documents backed up and then if we want 10GB + of old stuff (backed up in other ways) its not a problem.

  2. Hello!I am a GoodNotes loyal user from Guangzhou,China. I want to report some BUGs to you.
    I personally use GoodNotes4(GoodNotes5 upgrade version).It happens more and more now that the icons show that files are downloading and i can’t open them when I need them urgently(picture below). I don’t know the reason why they are keep downloading files when I do not do anything. Since I use GoodNotes on my iPad which don’t have Cellular network, I find this bug really annoying. I sincerely hope you can improve it.

    plus: I don’t want to upgrade to GoodNotes 5 since I consider…

    Hi Marius, thanks for your bug report. It would be great if you could send it to support@goodnotes.com instead as we try to keep this forum for feature requests and ideas only. iOS 13 is still in beta, and a lot of features may not be working as expected, which is not necessarily a problem of GoodNotes itself but could be related to iOS. We haven’t yet optimized the app for iOS13, so for a bug-free experience, we recommend using official iOS releases.

  5. The images in the note is partially displayed. the images didn’t display well. Please fix it ASAP, thanks

    GoodNotes 5 is not yet fully optimized for iPadOS. The beta release seems to be one of the most buggy betas Apple released in recent years and we recommend downgrading to iOS 12 in the meantime. We’re working on optimizing the app for the new experience but currently don’t plan to fix any bugs on the OS beta, as this is unfortunately always a risk when using beta versions. We’re aiming to release a fully optimized version around the time of the official iPadOS release in Fall.

    We wrote some more about it here: https://support.goodnotes.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001038036

  6. Device: iPad Pro 10.5

    This sounds like a bug in the update 5.1.2. Please make sure that GoodNotes is updated to the latest version. If you experience bugs, it would be great if you could contact our support team directly via support@goodnotes.com and share a screen recording of the problem as well. We’re happy to help.

  12. I use my iPad on landscape (horizontal) mode most of the time, and when I go through multi-page file on GoodNote 5, I want to have an option to zoom out more than the app currently supports.
    When I go through a document with landscape layout, the app will limit zoom out to always fit the top/bottom edges.
    I want to be able to view two pages at once by zooming out, (scrolling direction set as vertical).

    Please give us a freedom to zoom out!

    iOS 13 will include the opportunity to open two instances of the same app next to each other. This will allow you to view two documents or even two pages of the same document side by side.

    Hi there,

    We’re planning to release the new Mac version soon but are still working on some missing features, which is why I can’t promise an exact time frame right now. You can sign up here (https://goo.gl/forms/0POBGsmxy2aXJrpf2) to apply for early access. We’re inviting a new batch of sign-ups about once a week, so it shouldn’t take long before you can use the new Mac version.

  14. Please fix or add a shapes editor. I am currently trying to make a bar graph in my notes, but for some reason the shapes tool changes my rectangle into a line. It’s could easily be solved if you are able to manipulate the shape like in Procreate. Another option would to just add a graph tab with various graph options and make them customizable. In my case I need to create a Pareto Chart.

    Thanks for submitting the feedback. This is a known bug that we’re already working on. We’ll mark this as “declined”, as we’re trying to use this forum for feature requests and ideas only not for bug reports.

  15. Laggy zoom, and also laggy when erasing some written notes, never experience this in GoodNotes 4. Please fit it.

    This should be fixed by updating to the latest version 5.0.29. We’ll mark this as declined as we’re trying to use the feedback forum for feature requests only and not for bug reports.
