  1. Dual-Page PDF View

    Dear Goodnotes Team,

    I am a dedicated Goodnotes user, and the app has become essential to my daily studies. I am currently preparing for the Judicial Scrivener (Shiho Shoshi) exam and would like to suggest a feature that would significantly improve my workflow.

    Dual-Page Display for PDFs

    When reading extensive legal texts and Ito Juku course materials, being able to view two pages side-by-side is crucial. It helps maintain context, compare clauses, and cross-reference information efficiently.

    Adding a dual-page view for PDFs would greatly enhance reading and annotation, especially for users working with dense academic or legal materials.

    Thank you…

    Hi! Thanks for your suggestion!


    You can already view two PDFs side-by-side in Goodnotes by using iPadOS multiple windows. This lets you open two pages of the same document (or two different documents) in Split View.


    You can find step-by-step instructions here:

    Hope this helps with your study setup!

  2. Use on IPhone

    Would like to use Goodnotes both to view and creat/edit on my iPhone 14 Plus. I ALWAYS have my phone accessible as I do not carry my iPad out with me and would love to be able to make corrections/additions to my planner

    Hello,

    The Goodnotes app is available to download on your iPhone.

    Once you download it, you can log in and access your notes. You’ll be able to view and edit them according to your plan.

    Give it a try and see how it works. If there’s a specific improvement you’d like to see on iPhone, let us know by submitting a new idea or checking existing ones 🙂

  3. Single page whiteboard

    My notebook has too many pages to convert to whiteboard. Please enable single page whiteboards.

    Hi Jennifer,

    Thanks for your request!

    The option to convert one or multiple pages from a notebook or PDF to whiteboard already exists.

    Here’s how to do it:

    1. Go to Pages navigation
    2. Tap the three dots (⋯) → Select Pages
    3. Choose the pages you want to convert (one or more)
    4. Tap More → Convert to Whiteboard

    Let us know if that works for you!

  4. Apple Widget

    This is my go to app, so it would be ideal to have a widget allowing direct navigation from iPad//iPhone home screen

    [Apple Widget is live 🎉]

    Hello,

    Thank you so much for sharing your suggestion! We’re happy to let you know that in addition to the current Create QuickNote Widget, we’ve rolled out a brand-new Favorites Widget 🎉

    With the Favorites Widget, you’ll be able to:

    • Add it directly to your Home Screen
    • Quickly access your recently viewed favorite documents or folders
    • Perform quick actions like Create QuickNote or Search

    This will make it even faster to jump back into what matters most, right from your Home Screen.

    Feel free to share your feedback and let us know how the feature works for you!
