  2. I am a user who subscribed to the Goodnotes Essential plan a few days ago. I was looking into why my Goodnotes library won't sync between Windows and iOS, and I found the following text:

    'If you purchased this plan before September 23, 2025, you are eligible for Goodnotes Cloud. If you purchased this plan after September 23, 2025, you will need to upgrade to the Goodnotes Pro plan to use Goodnotes Cloud.'

    When will cross-platform sync be supported for the Essential plan? I subscribed to this plan because the pricing clearly indicated that the Essential plan also supports cross-platform…

  3. When allowing sharing a document it should have the options to send it to someone not just copy the link

  4. It seems that my 2017 MacBook Pro 15" isn't compatible with Goodnotes anymore (it doesn't synchronies to the latest documents anymore and says that I should Update my Goodnotes app but my App Store doesn't provide any new updates.) and I just wanted to feedback you that I find this very sad and would really appreciate a longer support for older devices (:

  5. We need a kind of way to sync it cross-platform without needing to use iCloud... I'd love to have my files on my PC and access on my Ipad or phone without having to ALWAYS export it. I don't use iCloud... and I can't even share it using a local sharing or a sharing using any other cloud service as the base for it.

  6. I can't edit the iPad notes on the Windows PC because GoodNotes Windows doesn't sync with iOS.

    Maybe it's possible to implement a system where users can sync their notes between GoodNotes client using other cloud storage platforms (OneDrive, GDrive etc.)

  7. I have an older mac which runs on Catalina thus I cannot install the goodnote app on my imac. I would love to atleast have the iOS library sync to the web version so I can use it on universal device without needing to create a link for ease of use.

    (Just like android users)

  8. frustration regarding the synchronization between devices on your platform. As an iOS user, the current experience is incredibly disappointing. I recently purchased GoodNotes on my iPad, only to find that I cannot use it on my iPhone without making an additional purchase. Furthermore, accessing it on the web seems to require a separate payment.

    This situation has left me bewildered and questioning the company's policies. The impression I get is that users are required to make repeated purchases for the same application across different devices, which is not only inconvenient but also seems financially burdensome. I urge you to address…

  9. I would like to choose which notebooks / documents get synced through iCloud. I have plenty of documents on my iPad that I don't want to have on my iPhone. Things like PDF manuals or PDF presentations that I just can't use on the smaller iPhone screen.
