Fix Cloud Storage on essential plan
Every Good Notes Essential plan bought since September 23rd 2025 (previously called "All Platforms Yearly" doesn't enable the user to sync their files between Apple and Windows/Android. So the users basically have two separate apps.
That is absolutely useless.The advantage was to access and edit the files on different devices.
For example: It is way easier for me to type flashcards on my windows laptop than on my iPad but I can't even open them on my laptop if I export them (wich already would be inconvenient). So I can't use them together. Study Sets aren't even supported for…

Pins for whiteboard
Using Whiteboard quite intensively right now there is one thing I‘d love to be added: pins! For example the app prodrafts has that feature on their whiteboard where you can place a pin anywhere on the whiteboard by long pressing somewhere. You can name that pin and set a color. There‘s a pins menu where you can see all your pins and by tapping on one quickly navigate to its place on the whiteboard. When zooming out the pin gets bigger so that when fully zoomed out you see all these „isles“ on your whiteboard with their pins readable, making…

Monospaced font for "Code Block" in "Text Doc"
The new Text Doc document type offers the option to insert “Code Block”, which is intended to be an area for source code. However, it seems that the code block is not using a monospaced font, which may be an overlooked bug.

ToolBar Position and Online Teachers
Dear Goodnotes Team,
My name is Praphul P, and I am from India. I am currently building an online educational platform that will launch in the next two months. During my research, I found Goodnotes to be the most powerful and suitable tool for conducting classes, mainly because of its smooth writing experience and excellent web interface.
However, after the recent update, the interface—especially the new toolbar design—has become difficult to work with. Many of the tools and buttons are now positioned inside the canvas area, which was not the case earlier. This creates a major issue for educators like…

Windows Web App
I used to be able to open two goodnotes apps at once, but that feature has disappeared over the summer. Every time I try to open two, it just reloads the first. This is very frustrating as I take all my notes on goodnotes, so when I try to make study notes I have to download all my notes and open them up separately. Additionally, I've noticed that my Windows Surface Pen isn't working as well on the app. Text will be delayed (and curves will appear smaller or letters will turn out jargon). My erase feature (from the back…

Placement of Handwriting-to-Text on PDF Templates
I really enjoy using Goodnotes.
Currently, when handwriting is converted to text, the placement and size often do not align correctly with PDF templates, requiring manual adjustment.
If you could add an auto-adjust feature—similar to PDF forms—that automatically fits text size and position to the lines, it would greatly improve usability.2 votes -
Text box error
When I duplicate my text box, or simply finish writing in it, a “bug” appears with only part of the text box duplicated, which remains there and cannot be removed. It also happens that I write in a text box, go to another document in GoodNotes, and when I return to the document I wrote in, the text box is no longer there. I always use GoodNotes for my studies in my IPad, and it's very frustrating when I go to use the app for my studies and waste time stressing over these issues. In the end, the app I…

Split Screen
95% of the time I use this app I am in split screen mode. Just yesterday I was able to switch between pen colors and pen sizes with 1 tap. Now (even stripping my tool bar to the bare minimum) the pen sizes are consolidated and I need to tap a button then tap the pen size I want- even though there is extra space in the bar to expand the menu. This app is starting to feel clunky, I need to tap twice to change my pen size, I need to tap twice to book mark a page, it…

I would like to propose several improvements.
Add the ability to search by document title in the search function.
Enable AirPrint directly from within GoodNotes documents.
Add a feature that shows how many documents have been selected when choosing multiple files.
Along with these, I suggest restoring other useful features that existed in GoodNotes 4 but are not available in the current version.

Fix the font size bug in text docs
Fix the zoom bug in text docs. When I click on Zoom in, it doesn't do anything. I have the same issue with increasing font size as well.

Shifting to the top when change tab
When I take note(I also zoom in for easy note-taking) and change to the other tab to check something, then go back to the note, it will shift from the original place to the top of the tab, so it makes when I want to quickly look many times it make I have to move to the same place every time.

Button Color Zoom Window
In the zoom window (top right) there are the buttons voor jumping to the next line, close the window and the 3 dots. Would it be possible to get these button in white instead of blue. Iam using iPads color filters in red when working in dark places like theaters........ And these buttons are really hard to see when using the colour filters. If they are white as the other buttons this will help. See picture of the buttons

single colour pick selection/lasso
Colour picker to PICK ONE SPECIFIC COLOUR to SELECT ONLY!!
For example: only SELECT the grey pencil lines but DON'T SELECT the BLACK or RED PENCIL strokes nearby or on top!
That we we can ALTER those specific lines ONLY!! ( For example colour change them afterward, copy paste or change size or move them only)
Currently it's VERY TEDIOUS or IMPOSSIBLE to PICK SPECIFIC Lines when there are many..Would be GREAT for SKETCHING!! And that way we could SKETCH in ONE colour and draw in ANOTHER COLOUR on TOP and STILL be able to change the older lines below…1 vote -

The timer should have an alert sound
I tried the new timer tool and I like that I can see the time passing at the top but it doesn’t make any sound when the timer ends. I think it shows a message at the top but if I’m involved in different apps or in books and I’m not looking I miss it.
The timer should make a sound, an alert that tells me time is up.

Set default font, line spacing & size for handwriting conversion
I love using the handwriting-to-text feature in Goodnotes!
However, I’d really appreciate the ability to set a default font, line spacing and text size for converted handwriting.
Right now, I have to manually change it every time, which interrupts my workflow.This feature would make the writing and editing process much smoother – especially for people who use Goodnotes regularly for structured notes.
Thank you for considering this!

Highlighter shapes
I think it would be very benefitial to be able to pick basic shapes for the highlighter. Even simply being able to choose the rounded edge or a straight edge. You offer a few options for the pen, so in the same vein, keeping a few options for the highlighter could be set up the same way! Being able to have sharp and exact edges could really make notes look alot cleaner, without all the overlap! Thanks so much!
