  2. Since the "Convert" feature was added to the Lasso tool in GoodNotes 5, the response time for the entire Lasso menu has become significantly slower, especially when a large amount of content is selected. I personally do not use the Convert feature, yet it affects overall performance. I would appreciate it if you could add an option to disable the Convert feature for users who don't need it.

  3. In many exam settings, students are allowed to bring handwritten notes but not digitally written ones, even if created with a stylus on a tablet. To address this, I’m looking for a solution that makes digital notes look convincingly handwritten when printed.

    What I’m looking for:

    A pencil/brush tool with a slight grain, natural imperfections, and subtle color variation within a stroke — something that mimics real pencil or pen handwriting.

    Alternatively, a filter or export option that can be applied to a digital notebook (e.g., on an iPad) to make the final printout resemble authentic handwritten notes.

    The goal…

  6. It would be great if you could load templates and stickers purchased in the shop directly into the template option (not just one page but all items that were purchased). It would also be very useful for stickers if they would simply appear in the sticker menu.

  7. Dear GoodNotes Team,

    I hope this message finds you well.

    I am writing as a dedicated user of GoodNotes to express my appreciation for the remarkable tools and features your application offers. It has greatly enhanced my note-taking and productivity experience.

    I would like to humbly suggest the addition of a Freeform paper type—similar to the canvas style used in Apple’s Freeform app. As someone who often works with brainstorming, concept mapping, and creative planning, I find that a limitless canvas significantly supports fluid thinking and non-linear organization of ideas.

    While the existing page templates are incredibly useful for structured…

  9. Subject: Urgent Help Needed – Missing Pages After iCloud Sync + "Backup Failed" Message

    Hello GoodNotes Support Team,

    I'm experiencing a serious issue with iCloud syncing in GoodNotes. Two of my notebooks only partially synced—most of the pages are missing, and only a few remain. This happened even though the notebooks were fully saved before.

    Here’s what happened in detail:
    - I deleted and reinstalled the GoodNotes app to try fixing sync issues.
    - After reinstalling, I started the iCloud sync again.
    - However, the sync did not complete properly, and I keep seeing a red message in the upper…

  10. 是否可以考虑在goodnote5加goodnote6的账户功能,并允许和apple id进行关联。以方便在设备切换不同id的情况下仍然可以正常使用。这不应该成为goodnote6的专有权利。
    Is it possible to consider adding the account function of goodnote6 to goodnote5 and allowing it to be associated with apple id? To facilitate the convenience of normal use when the device switches different ids. This should not be the exclusive right of goodnote6.

  11. Hello, I am a consumer using GoodNotes in Korea. I recently tried GoodNotes 6 and thought it was good, so I tried to buy it. I previously purchased GoodNotes 5. So I tried to get a discount, but I accidentally pressed the subscription button instead of purchase. As soon as I realized that I had pressed the wrong button, I waited until iOS was charged and immediately received a refund. I went back into the app to purchase a lifetime plan, but the discount plan did not appear. In this case, won't you give me a discount again? I got…

  12. There should be a keyboard shortcut for the Laser Pointer tool in GoodNotes. There are other keyboard shortcuts for pen, highlighter,,. but why is the Laser Pointer the only one without it?" Please add one as soon as possible.

  13. Since the release of the 'Ask GoodNotes AI' feature, I've noticed that GoodNotes 6 experiences severe lag and stuttering when scrolling up or down. Even with a slight scroll, it stutters and almost stops, but if I scroll forcefully, it either moves too far forward or too far down, or even jumps to the very top or bottom page, sometimes adding pages unexpectedly. Am I the only one experiencing this issue?

  14. Hi Goodnotes team,

    I have another feature suggestion that could greatly enhance the experience of using audio recordings within notebooks.

    Currently, when we start a voice recording and take notes by hand or typing during the recording, there’s no way to later connect specific notes to the exact moment they were written.

    My suggestion: it would be incredibly useful if, after saving the recording, I could tap on a word or note I wrote during the session, and the audio would jump directly to the exact minute and second when that note was taken.

    This feature would be a game-changer…

  15. Hi Goodnotes team,

    I’d like to share a recurring issue I’ve been experiencing, along with a suggestion that could significantly improve the user experience.

    I usually work with notebooks in vertical (portrait) format, which fits best with my study and workflow preferences. However, when I import a PDF created in PowerPoint (which typically has a horizontal/landscape layout), Goodnotes automatically changes the entire notebook’s format to horizontal, while still keeping the original vertical page size centered on the screen. This results in huge side margins and forces me to constantly zoom in and out to work with the content properly. I’ve…

  16. I would love a way to shift everything below a certain point down. Right now, I have to do a thousand lassos, or just erase and rewrite with the extra stuff in super tiny handwriting.
    I’d like to draw a line with the lasso and have everything move down some set amount of space (width of a line or whatever divider your page background is).

  17. Please provide support so that the contents of the sticker memo can also be searched. I tried several tests, but I had the problem of not being able to find important information because the contents of the sticker memo were not searchable. thank you

  18. Do you think possible to add new feature to create "flashCard on the fly" inside document creation ?

    My idea is to have new tool/feature to convert part of document to become flash card attached to document.

    With this, no need to switch between document and flash card area.
    => "just", we determine part of document to become flash card element (link, ...) ;-)

    Thanks a lot for this tool ;-)

  19. I am using 64gb ipad and i have problems with storage. So can you make all the files in goodnotes online and using the internet to edit and let user control which note can be used offline like google drive. I have slides which is easily used with the Internet and some books is too heavy so i want to download it and use offline

  20. I was really excited about the sticky notes feature at first. After the rocky launch and the subsequent patch that supposedly fixed things, I ultimately ended up moving the sticky notes icon to the hidden section of my toolbar—never to be used again (ironically, toolbar customization is probably the most useful feature for me, LOL). Experience tunnel rush, where neon-lit tunnels twist and turn as you race through a kaleidoscope of obstacles, blending stunning visuals with heart-pounding action.

    The way sticky notes are implemented is clunky and unintuitive, creating more problems than they solve. I don’t understand why they…
