  1. Latest update forced me to go back to Goodnotes 5

    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.

  2. handwriting disappears on sticky notes

    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.

  3. make it work

    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.

  6. Sync with Windows False Advertising

    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…

  7. SO MUCH APPLE PENCIL LATENCY

    GN is still de app with the most latency. Is really tiring to have to write so much and it being so slow because of its latency compared to other apps. I have all my notes and dont want to switch, please make it better.

    This app should be the best experience, but freenotes and notability are so much better to write in, and its sad that while this is happening, the only focus of improvement is AI.

  10. BUG PÁGINA

    I've been having problems with the app for a few days now. What happens is that every time I switch back to an open tab (for example, using two or more tabs at the same time), it keeps scrolling to the top of the page, and if I don't change it and switch tabs again, it keeps scrolling to previous pages. This error is very annoying because it completely disrupts my study rhythm.

  14. GoodNotes 6 Performance Issues and Bugs

    I installed GoodNotes a year ago and paid for the lifetime version because it worked great. But in the past few months, the app has been having issues: when inserting images and writing, the strokes disappear; when switching between apps, the screen freezes; the Lasso tool doesn’t work properly; when using a linked PDF, it randomly jumps to the first or last page. I upgraded from a 10th-generation iPad to a 13-inch iPad Air M3, but the issues persist. This is seriously affecting my productivity.

    This is the first time my hyperlinks have ever frozen like this. I've been a long-time GoodNotes user, and when it stops working like this, it seriously impacts my productivity. You must change it back to how it was! Please... this is extremely urgent!

  17. Scrolling bug

    It's the most annoying bug. It's annoying when I try to scroll. Even if I want to write it, the scroll bug seems to interfere with me and make me unusable even if I want to write the GoodNote app. After the "Ask GoodNote AI" and (Recording) "Real-time Transcription" features are updated, the scroll is stuttering and moved to unwanted top or bottom pages. (I'm trying to move one page, but the bug is stumbling up quickly, almost to top/bottom pages.) Also, "Real-time Transcription," "Ask GoodNote AI," and page layout scrolling are stuttering as well.

  18. Does not Work

    I love this app, and I use it really frequently for school. This app is the best and most practical, one can have on their iPad. BUT, I find it very annoying and sad if I pay money for the app ( first to download it, than to use it, and after a few months i had to pay again to use the app even though I have already paid this amount , just because of a huge update) and than every time I use the app it completely shuts down, erases all my notes, and afterwards acts like a…

  20. Urgent – Missing Pages After iCloud Sync

    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…
