  2. (Screenshot) Basically if I highlight/write on my iPad it won't show aligned on my computer but the stuff I do my computer will show correct on my computer only. Is very frustrating, it keeps happening and it happened on my friends goodnotes too!

  3. Feature Request: Shared Folder Collaboration with Real-Time Updates

    Dear GoodNotes Team,

    I am a teacher who relies on GoodNotes daily for lesson planning, organizing resources, and collaborating with colleagues. While I truly appreciate the powerful tools GoodNotes offers for handwriting and annotation with the Apple Pencil, there is one feature that would greatly improve collaboration for educators:

    The ability to share entire folders with colleagues so that multiple users can:

    Add new documents to a shared folder.

    Write on and annotate shared documents using the Apple Pencil.

    View and access changes in real time, including edits, new notes, or added…

  4. Subject: Suggestion: Option to disable auto-switch from eraser to pen

    Message:
    Hi team,
    Could you please add an option to turn off the auto-switch from eraser back to pen?
    It would make the workflow more flexible. Thanks!

  6. As a student I very much miss some options for the study set feature:

    For example needed are features like…

    • overviewing ALL of the study sets
    • Moving cards from one study set to another/putting sets together
    • Changing layouts for flashcards
    • Import study sets in bulk from e.g. CSV files
    • Plan when which study set should be learned
    • Use tags in study sets and filter for them

    • Choose which study sets are currently interesting and a „pause“ function

  8. Issues

    1) Within image annotation misalignment after cropping or scaling the image
    When an image is cropped or scaled after annotations (e.g., underlines or highlights) have been added, the positions of those annotations become misaligned. For example, underlined text on an image may no longer align correctly after resizing. Can the developer team ensure that cropping or scaling operations preserve the relative position of existing annotations. A good analogy to this is a stick note, where resizing the sticky note shouldn't affect where the illustrations on top of the sticky note is positioned.

    2) Lasso Tool affects entire image and…

  9. The current version only provides iCloud synchronization function, but after synchronization, the storage space on the device cannot be released like iCloud file management.

    It is recommended to add the function of releasing hard disk space after cloud synchronization is completed.

  14. Proposed Feature:
    Flexible Page Placement for Improved Writing Comfort in Landscape Mode

    Description:
    I would love to have the ability to choose where the writing page is placed on the screen — not just centered, but also aligned to the left or right side. Currently, the page is always centered by default, which isn’t ideal when writing in landscape mode on an iPad.

    Benefit:
    For left-handed users, having the page aligned to the right would allow the hand to rest comfortably on the screen while writing, instead of hovering awkwardly. Similarly, right-handed users would benefit from a left-aligned page. This…

  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. I have noticed that, on the GoodNotes app for MacBook, I am unable to select or copy text from PDFs, even though the same PDFs allow text selection and copying in other PDF readers. I kindly request that you add this functionality to the GoodNotes app, as it would greatly enhance usability and user experience. Thank you for considering this feature enhancement.

  19. Let a person who added a lock to a file or notebook at least be able to delete it since only one password is used for everything you lock. Especially if they’re trying to have a medical folder due to their HIPPA rights. I mean seriously I can’t even lock my medical information folder now.

  20. FREE ROTATE ON PAGES!!!!

    Moving the physical iPad from side to side is NOT efficient. Being able to freely rotate a page to write at an angle would be SO much more helpful, when taking notes, doodling, or simply to look at the notes from a different angle.... I really would love to see this implimented as this is the biggest flaw goodnotes has as a program!
