  1. 오랜시간동안 아이폰과 아이패드를 사용하면서 굿노트를 사용해 왔는데 최근 업무로 인해 안드로이드 스마트 폰을 구매 했습니다.

    굿노트를 안드로이드와 아이패드에서 동기화 해 사용하고 싶어 pro 버전 구독도 했지만 goodnotes cloud 사용이 불가능해 연동이 안됩니다.

    초대 링크도 받지 못해 사용할 수 없는데 대단히 불편합니다. 가능하다면 goodnotes cloud 링크를 보내주시거나 빨리 기능을 업데이트해 사용할 수 있게 된다면 좋겠습니다.

    Hello,

    I have been using GoodNotes on my iPhone and iPad for a long time. Recently, due to work, I purchased an Android smartphone.

    I subscribed to the Pro version because I wanted to use GoodNotes on both my Android device and iPad with synchronization. However,…

  2. Having to press the icon twice instead of once to use a tool is time consuming. I need to take lecture notes and switch between tools quickly. Another way is to make a shortcut bar for tools with specific settings.

  3. TextDoc

    I have been a GoodNotes user for several years throughout my undergraduate time and plan to continue using it through graduate school. I have fallen in love with the TextDoc option, but there are several issues. First, when exporting a TextDoc to a PDF, there is very little room on the "printed" PDF, especially if any headings are used, which is an integral feature for lengthy notes. If DevOps has any way to ensure the headings are kept while the overall size is altered when imported. This could be solved by changing the Text or Font size. Second, another…

  4. With every update, I feel like I’m losing out on convenience.
    Now the Lasso tool – one of my most-used tools – has been pushed even further down the context menu, in favour of other fancy tools that I never use.
    The Lasso tool must be right at the top of the list!

    As not all of us have the same needs: please let us customise the context menu so that everyone can adapt it to their personal requirements. Thank you very much!

  7. Currently, the app offers three pen stroke thicknesses (thin, medium, thick). It would be useful to allow users to add one or two additional stroke options for greater flexibility in note-taking and diagramming.

    I think a lot of students would benefit from this option especially students who zoom in to write on tiny organ pictures and re-zoom out for a different font size, like in my case.

    The idea is for those who want to add they can who don’t want then nothing changes.

    Best regards,
    Hasan ataba

  8. I used to make perfect stars with a ball pen whenever I drew a wobbly star and then locked my pen in place for it to snap into a perfect star shape. But with the new update you guys for no reason at all ruined this for me. Whenever I try to make the same star shape it clicks into a CIRCLE OR A SQUARE FOR NO APPARENT REASON AT ALL even though what I drew has NOTHING to do with an as simple shape as circle or a square. Please fix this I can not study as efficiently as…

  9. The current screenshot feature captures all notes on the page. I wish to add an option to capture only the background.

    Also, it would be easier to have an option like "screenshot and copy", the current workflow is too complex: screenshot, share, copy, and close the preview...

    So two features: "screenshot background", "screenshot and copy".

  10. I'd like to be able to change my default Whiteboard background from Dot Grid & White.

    Could be done by:

    • Saving the last background used
    • Manually saving in the Whiteboard creation screen

    This would be very helpful!

  11. Goodnotes helps us organize notes, meeting records, and study materials in one place. It makes it easier to review information, annotate documents, and keep everything structured, which improves productivity and collaboration.

  12. With the newest updates to Goodnotes, the order of menu items keeps changing. Sometimes, Copy is at the top of the menu, sometimes it is at the bottom of the menu. It appears this is called “Dynamic/context-sensitive menus” and it is terrible. You now have to read the entire menu every time to figure out where Copy is located within the menu because the location of Copy within the menu keeps changing. Simple Copy and Paste now takes so much longer. Please either bring back the fixed menu or allow us to toggle the dynamic/context-sensitive menu OFF.

  13. Align left and align right are options for default formating in the text tool. But select center and the default option grays out. This is infuriating and needs to be fixed.

  14. All the new split does for me is to take space away from my screen to read or write on. Also the second bar being loose/movable and black in contrast to the white page is distracting me.

  15. The “Report an Issue” button in the app is broken. All the other buttons to external links work, but instead I had to search for a separate feedback tool online. Very inconvenient and not at all easy site to find. And I had to make a new account.

    But of course the “Rate on App Store” button works perfectly.

  16. Add the ability to set a different default font per language e.g., Hebrew uses one font by default, English another so the font switches automatically when changing keyboard language.

  17. Many things are are already moveable to accomodate different writing styles and workflows, which is amazing. That being said, even though I find that the minimap in the whiteboard is a very important and useful tool, as a lefty I am constantly hitting it accidentally (even when it is minimized) and it can be quite frustrating to have this be an issue when this has a solution that shows up in other parts of the UI/UX. I was suprised to find out that the minimap is locked in place in the bottom left corner even though it appears to be…

  19. As a Goodnotes user for the past 10 years: please stop changing the UI. I know the business and product teams probably feel pressure to keeping adding more stuff to get more users and growth whatever, but you are alienating your hardcore power users that have been recommending this product for 10 years.

    UX Designers: the existing toolbar was great. stop refactoring stuff just because you built a new thing and don't know where to shove it.

    Product Managers: Just make a really solid note taking app. Stop trying to add more stuff in the same app. Whiteboarding should be…

  20. I do a lot of screen recordings for my math classes and your new toolbar and permanently floating undo buttons eat up canvas space. Let me at least choose a different layout where the drawing surface is completely free of anything other than... drawing space.
