  2. O fato dele não ter corretor e nem poder mudar a fonte não me incomodou muito, porque só ia usar pra fazer rascunho de resumo. Meu principal problema foi que, além de nem sempre eu conseguir abrir ele quando eu queria, porque sempre dava algum erro, ele simplesmente não abre mais, fazendo com que eu perca resumos que eu já tinha começado perdendo muito do meu progresso. Sem contar que conforme eu ia fazendo o resumo, ele simplesmente apagou sozinho tudo que eu já feito, e dar ctrl+z não trazia tudo de volta

  3. There is an issue where Korean comments added using another PDF editing tool are not displayed in Goodnotes.

    Attached are:

    A screenshot showing that the Korean comments are not visible in Goodnotes.
    A screenshot showing that the same comments are visible in another PDF editor.
    The PDF file containing the comments.

    The issue occurs only when the PDF is opened in Goodnotes on a Windows 11 desktop. When the same PDF is opened in Goodnotes on an Apple device (iPad/macOS), the Korean comments are displayed correctly.

  4. 타이핑을 주로 쓰는데
    텍스트 상자를 클릭하고 원하는 위치를 선정할때 손으로 누르면 안먹거나 전체 텍스트가 인식이 됩니다.
    현재까지 AI있는 다른앱들도 텍스트 상자기능을 활용하면 키보드 연결하고 원하는 위치에 텍스트 상자 눌러서 클릭하면 바로 텍스트 상자를 이용할 수 있는데 그게 안되니까 짜증이 너무 납니다.
    그럼 키보드 치다가 원하는 위치를 손으로 바로 선정하는데
    이건 뭐 키보드 치다가 펜슬들고
    키보드 치다가 펜슬 들고 그래야하나요?
    많은 걸 바라는게 아닙니다. 6버전 전에는 텍스트 상자 클릭하고 문서 아무곳이나 손으로 클릭해도 잘 인식하고 원하는위치에 텍스트 상자를 넣었다고요.
    지금은 문서 전체를 인식해서 타자를 칠 수있다는 이상한 문구만 뜨고
    정작 원하는 위치에는 텍스트상자가 안생깁니다.
    그런 사소한 거 하나가 사람 신경을 거슬리하고…

  5. Shortcut for internal link on that VERY page. Like cmd+shift+L.

    Plus, why does my links ALWAYS go to the next page? If I'm linking on page 10, I want the PAGE TEN linked, NOT THE ELEVEN. Why can't we just customize the settings of internal links AND have a shortcut?

  6. Hey so as a computer engineer student i love the whiteboards tool as it feels like writing on a piece of paper and is good for solving problems. I see that Math Assist works on regular notes, but when I try it on the whiteboard, it doesn't work. So I feel like math assist on there would be great, especially for quick problems.

    Thanks for the suggestion! Just a quick note that Math Assist on Whiteboards is already live 🎉

    If you’re not seeing it working yet, it could be related to your specific setup or app version. Could you please submit a ticket to our customer support team so they can take a closer look and help troubleshoot?

    We’ll be happy to take a closer look and assist you directly.

  7. The new Oct 2025 update makes it impossible to use Goodnotes as I used to. The grouping of tools doubles or triples my clicks, the default lasso break the writing flow and I can't draw straight lines without a ruler anymore.
    I am going back to Goodnotes 5. This update makes using the app very frustrating.

  8. Your app is not properly compatible with iPadOS 26.3, which was released on February 11, 2026. There is a serious issue with the status bar hiding option. It is not working correctly at all. Even after enabling the option, the status bar does not hide automatically and sometimes overlaps with the app interface. Please look into this issue and fix it as soon as possible.

    Thanks.

  9. When writing on a sticky note sometimes the text I wrote, not typed, will disappear behind the sticky note. I have to collapse the sticky note and reopen it in order for the text to show on top of the note.

  11. When hover option is enabled for Apple Pencil Pro there is some distortion on handwriting. It seems to be a software issue. I haven’t used the hover feature for years because of this. Could it be fixed?

  12. Dear GoodNotes Support Team,

    I am having trouble using the Split View feature in GoodNotes after the latest update on my iPad. I used to be able to open two documents or folders side by side for easy reading and writing at the same time, but I am no longer able to do this.

    Could you please provide me with detailed instructions on how to use the Split View in GoodNotes with the most recent iPadOS update?

    Thank you for your help.

  13. This keeps popping up and now I can’t use this audio file like I can’t even access the whole playback bar. I had clicked summarize and then this happened. There should be an option to revert back to pop up window like before.

  14. The outlines tab is not as helpful as it once was. Whenever I use an imported pdf (usually converted from a powerpoint or word document), the outline is filled with text from every single slide, making it hard to find ANYTHING. I can unselect 'Show pdf outline', but the default view is the cluttered, unhelpful mess.

    Then, when I add my own outlines, they are in haphazard order. Please see the attached images. I have created these outlines in page order, but they seem to appear in a random order. Why??!

    Please make the outlines feature more functional by making…

    Hi Anna,

    Thank you for reporting this and for the detailed explanation!

    1 — PDF outline showing all slides

    It looks like this is related to how the original PDF was created. Some PDFs include metadata where every slide is set as an outline item, and when imported, we display that exact structure.

    If you turn off “Show PDF Outline”, the extra outline items won’t be visible.

    Currently, this setting applies per document, so you would need to disable it each time you import a new PDF. However, we’re considering improvements so that your preference could apply to future imports automatically.

    2 — Outline order issue

    We weren’t able to reproduce the issue on our side. When outlines are created within Goodnotes, they are automatically ordered by page. The order may change only if:

    • The imported PDF already has a custom outline order, or
    • The outlines were manually rearranged…
  15. I suspect that I didn't buy goodnotes6, but it's unfair to me who trusted and bought goodnotes5 at that time. Thank you very much,Look forward to hearing from you,

  16. please just make it work. After the newest Update the App is unusable for any kind of serious work like School or Work. We dont need any fancy tools or quirky features. We just want a working Plattform to get things done. Maybe focus on that, before you start adding more buggy tools.

  17. The new document import screen, such as when importing from safari, automatically pulls up the keyboard. It’s really annoying when you don’t need the keyboard to find the right folder.

  20. I recently switched to Goodnotes. When looking at the plans on my iPad, I saw that syncing with Windows was listed as a feature for the Essential plan. This was a large part of why I decided to purchase a plan. After purchasing and using the app for a few days, I tried to access my notes on the Windows app, only to find that I do not have access to this feature. This feels like false advertising to list this as a feature for all users looking at plans without stating that it is gradually being rolled out, and…
