  1. I LOVE this app. I use it daily and for so many things! It’s versatile, convenient, affordable, all the good things. One problem: I did the one-time purchase in 2023. Now, in 2025, I’d love to switch to the annual subscription so that I can access it on my PC as my projects have expanded. And I can’t. I’d have to delete my account, lose all of my stuff, and then re-enroll. Or find a way to back up all of my stuff (as PDFs, losing hyperlinks and all of the Goodnotes-ey features on them), delete my account, and re-enroll.…

  3. Can you please allow the search function to work with notes written with the pencil tool? I see the search function works for the pen, but I prefer the feel of the pencil when taking notes. Thank you.

  5. There are many add ons in the marketplace like planners for example that we’d have to pay for to access.

    There should ideally be an option to try them out for a short period of time before buying. It’s difficult to determine which planner option would be bested based on the screenshots shown under each in the marketplace.

    The last thing anyone wants is to spend €9.99 on a planner that doesn’t suit your needs.

  7. Is it possible to expand the Goodnotes cloud service to all users?
    I read the page ( Goodnotes Cloud on IOS Pilot Program).On this page, the Cloud is only eligible for Yearly plan members...That is pretty sad 😢 What I am concerned about is I already paid for other cloud services. For iCloud,I won't pay a subscription.

    Meanwhile, I saw there may be invitations to upgrade iCloud to goodnotes cloud...hope that I am not misunderstanding, cause two statements are a bit contradict.

    If this advice will be accepted in the future, It is convenience. Thank you.

  9. i use text boxes for my planner, because i don’t particularly like my handwriting. i use the scribble function with my apple pencil, but when it converts my writing to text, it automatically capitalizes the first letter. i have this feature turned off in my settings, and i wish it transferred over into the app. i just feel like it looks more natural that way!

  10. What I take notes for I would like to listen to the recording multiple times to learn. To have a loop feature would be great to be able to loop the whole recording to play over and over, or ideally to choose to loop the whole recording or each piece individually for notes with multiple recordings.

  11. I heard that GoodNotes 6 allows collaborative editing of PDFs. After sharing a single PDF with each other, is it possible for both parties to write on the PDF in real-time?

  12. Under the settings tab, add the ability to customize your initial screen.
    Examples:
    Open to a specific document upon start of app. That way if it a diary, journal, calendar, ect. It's ready to use right away.
    Allow different ways to view documents in the start-up tab. List of projects, small projects icons, large icons, view side by side, ect.
    Ability to lock documents and unlock with password, passcode, fingerprint, ect.

  14. Imported templates often have the problem that they are much smaller than the given document which makes it weird looking and also very unpractical to write as you have to adjust the size of the window continuously. GoodNotes’ own templates do have the option (or an automatic system) to adjust the size but with own templates this unfortunately does not work yet.
    I would appreciate if it would be possible to add the option to adjust the size of an imported template :))

  16. Currently, if you’re recording in one window and want to open another document, you can’t without stopping the recording or without having the windows open before you start recording.

    Options for this:
    1. Add a quick note switcher or something like that so that you can easily open another document as a new tab.
    2. Allow the ability to open a new window of the app. Currently if you try to open a new window, it’ll automatically switch to the note that is actively recording.

    Use case: recording a lecture in your lecture notes and opening a textbook or another…

  17. Once I’m in a notebook and I want to return to the previous folder almost 99% the home button brings me to the home page and I have to go through all the folders again in order to get where I need to be.

  19. Sometimes I’m searching for many different textbooks and I don’t know which is already opened. I really wish that you can choose to leave the tabs of textbooks open while navigating through all the folders. It would be also a lot easier to get back to the document without opening a second one or going back through folders to the one that’s already opened.
