  1. Make a sign here box that when applied to a template and I click it then it can bring up a window to sign on screen which is applied to the page. It would be helpful for business.

  2. I really enjoy using these flashcards for anatomy and the tape feature to cover diagrams. I wished I could send links to my friends so we can collaborate on flashcards like we can documents. We frequently are able to work on pre-labs together, but cant flash cards.

  5. Hello GoodNotes team,

    I’m running GoodNotes 6 on my iPad (latest version) and have purchased the “All Platforms – Yearly” subscription (renewal date: May 15, 2025) through my Google account. My Windows app correctly shows that I’m signed in with the same account and my subscription type.

    However, on the iPad under Settings ▶ Cloud & Backup, I only see the iCloud Sync toggle. I have:

    Disabled iCloud Sync

    Signed out and signed back in (using my Google account)

    Confirmed I’m on the latest GoodNotes 6 release

    …yet the GoodNotes Cloud option never appears. As a result, I cannot enable…

  6. 'm a paid GoodNotes user and generally enjoy using it, but there are a few usability issues that make the experience less efficient.

    There's no way to undo with a single two-finger tap, so quickly erasing even a couple of strokes takes multiple steps. Double-tapping the Apple Pencil always switches to the eraser instead of toggling between tools, and these gestures can't be customized, which limits flexibility.

    Accidental finger touches sometimes delete notes or trigger the paste popup while writing, which breaks the flow. Also, with the Apple Pencil Pro, using the squeeze gesture to access the lasso tool isn’t…

  7. You need to provide an Apple Pencil that works like a signature pen. As I increase the tip sharpness in the pen settings, the pen starts behaving in the opposite way — not as it should. I'm attaching an image. Please bring this kind of pen.

  8. Funktioniert überhaupt nicht... es ist extrem anstrengend, nervig und störend. Man versucht einen Text, ein Protokoll zu schreiben und ständig wird alles auf eine solch penetrante Art und Weise auto-korrigiert. Es ist teilweise sogar richtig Aufwendig dann den Text schreiben zu dürfen, den man eben schreiben will. Und ich habe meine Sprachen die ich nutze richtig eingestellt. Aber das funktioniert mal überhaupt nicht. Bin ansonsten sehr zufrieden. Deswegen Zahl ich ja dafür. Aber das ist extrem nervig und unglaublich schlecht gelöst !!!!!!!!!!

  9. Tap a crosshairs icon on the toolbar to add a crosshairs placement tool (similar to the ruler) that automatically disappears after the very next object has been placed on the page at the crosshairs.

    The crosshair’s lines are measure marked and extend automatically AND continually to all four page edges (similar to the ruler). But, the node at the center of the crosshairs specifies the exact placement for the very next object placed on the page. The lines on the crosshairs locate that node relative to the edges of the page.

    To use the tool:

    1) Tap once to select…

  10. I don't think I can explain it in detail in writing, but I hope my handwriting (speed) improves. Compared to Apple's pure note app and other note apps, the handwriting seems to be very slightly slower. If Apple's pure note app responds at 0.0000X seconds, the Good Note has a handwriting feeling that feels like there is a delay of about 0.02 seconds. You may not feel much difference, but when you use the Good Note while using the Apple memo app, there is a slight difference in response speed and the handwriting feels slightly different.

  12. comment section in goodnotes is very limited
    Trust me majority of goodnotes users are medical students and they uses goodnotes for books mostle sometime for new notes
    so when you read and highlight premade books and pdf there is very little space for adding new points and pictures
    i want goodnotes team to upgrade the comment section so you can add pdf or pictures to the comment section and enable highlighting in comment section and when comment section popups on clicking on it it should be more larger windows so people can read the pdf/pictures/direct text with hightlights more easily…

  15. 굿노트5에선 올가미로 스크린샷 캡쳐가 바로 떳는데

    굿노트6에선 올가미로 스크린샷 캡쳐를 할 경우,
    접힌 메뉴를 한번 더 눌러야 나오게 되어있습니다..ㅠㅠ

    굿노트 내에서 스크린샷 캡쳐를 자주 사용하는데
    굿노트5때처럼 개선 부탁드립니다 ㅠㅠ

  17. Hello
    Your free plan for schools is an amazing tool for educational institutions,although i think it could be added a free plan for students aswell. Students face significant learning demands, and it's hard to balance educational expenses with living necessities. By offering a free plan tailored for students, you would help us to leverage these tools with less financial barriers.
    While a student-focused free plan might have certain limitations and verifications compared to your full offerings, the benefits for students and the potential long-term user growth are considerable.
    Thank you for considering this proposal. I belive that making the goodnotes…

  18. Currently, the voice recording feature in Goodnotes records audio across the entire document without linking the recording to a specific page. This makes it time-consuming to locate which part of the recording corresponds to which page or note.

    Proposed Improvement:
    Introduce a feature that allows users to record audio directly linked to a specific page, similar to how comments or annotations are added.

    Suggested Functionalities:
    1. On each page, provide a button to start/stop a recording specific to that page.
    2. Once recorded, show a small microphone icon or indicator on that page to signal that a recording exists there.…

  19. It is hard to keep my handwriting straight when writing on a PDF with no lines, and drawing my own lines is tedious. I would love a feature that allows you to put lines or a grid over your notes that you could resize.
