  1. Whenever I am writing, and I scroll to above pages and then come back down what I see is the app has God knows how merged the annotation of two pages into one that is the content of two pages suddenly overlaps in one page and there is no way to fix this, you cannot undo this since it is glitch and even when restarted, it is still the same fix this ASAP or refund my subscription. I use this app for academic purpose, and this bug has destroyed my notes

  2. I would find it very helpful if there were several options for the background of the index cards – lined, squared, dotted.

  3. I don't know the situation on iOS, but on Android, GoodNotes isn't available in my Country. I live in Uruguay, a Latin American country with advanced technology. It's a real shame that the app isn't available in much of this region. I'd really like to be able to use it.

  4. Goodnote 7 feels like Badnotes.
    To improve it, I suggest restoring the following features:

    • The smooth performance of Goodnotes 5 (especially the instant PDF rendering)

    • The toolbar layout from Goodnotes 5

    • Keeping the “crumple-to-erase” feature from Goodnotes 6

    • Keeping the folder organization feature from Goodnotes 6

    I propose releasing “Goodnotes 11,” combining the best features of Goodnotes 5 and 6.

  5. Hey goodnotes
    I have a problem that please make available .apkg format to import for study set(flashcards)
    Because it is 2nd most priority of study that is active recall and
    Majority of medical scholar student uses already formed anki(.apkg) flashcards
    That is actual too much time taking and also anki community has already made cards of very vast range of subjects and also from many sources so it is more efficient and beneficial to direct import readymade flashcards
    And also most of medical student using ipad
    And anki for ipad is for 30$
    I was purchasing goodnotes for me i…

    • Enable the full toolbar on flashcards
      Allow users to use the same tools as on regular pages: highlighting in color, underlining, bold text, and free writing/drawing. This would make it much easier to emphasize important content and quickly add notes or markings.

    • Support combined text and images on a single flashcard
      Make it possible to place both images and text together on one flashcard for better visual learning and more flexible study methods.

    • Detect and indicate duplicate flashcards:
      Show a clear warning or indicator when a flashcard is created twice, to avoid unnecessary duplicates and keep decks organized.

  7. When importing files such as PDFs into GoodNotes 6 for Mac, the document name keeps the filename extension (e.g., “Document.pdf”).
    Please automatically strip extensions upon import, or at least provide a toggle in settings.

  8. File upload size on paid plans are too small. I am transferrer from IOS to Windows, it only allows 200 MD. I have prewritten notes so the file will be larger, but cannot be uploaded in goodnotes format. PDF download option is only Flatten, which my links does not carry over.

    • larger upload size for paid subscription, even goodnote files
    • allow export in other formats other than flatten!

  9. I own a 2019 MacBook Pro with a high-end configuration, and most software runs extremely smoothly on it. I spent a significant amount of money purchasing the Mac version of GoodNotes, but now I can’t use the sync feature due to a version issue. Do I really have to buy a new computer just to use this function? That’s absolutely ridiculous!

  11. This proposal summarizes optimization issues that include chronic overheating, performance degradation, and user experience problems occurring in the GoodNotes iPad app, even on high-performance Apple Silicon devices such as the M1 iPad Pro and newer models equipped with M-series chips.

    The core objective of this proposal is to respect the hardware constraints of the iPad’s fanless design while fully leveraging Apple Silicon–specific hardware accelerators, including the Apple Neural Engine (ANE), through a truly native architecture approach. By optimizing GoodNotes in accordance with Apple Silicon hardware characteristics, the app should regain a “Pro-level” stability where users no longer need to restart…

  12. Post making a study Set of any Main Topic, which which will have ‘n’ number of subtopics. But the next day when we get notification to study our study set, and when we open it, it gives us prompts showing one of the subtopics. If we don't want to answer it, if we want to skip it, there is NO option of "Skip".

    If we close our Study Set and open it again, we will again be given the same subtopic which we have shown earlier which we wanted to skip earlier. There is no switching to a new subtopic.

  13. When using the “Learning resource cards,” there are two modes: “free trial” and “smart learning.” There is a really useful option in the free trial called “random,” which allows you to randomly start from either the question or the answer of a card. I’m wondering why this random setting isn’t available in smart learning yet. It’s really helpful for learning vocabulary in a foreign language and similar things, but we can’t do that in smart learning.
    (And yes, we could just use free training, but there’s no shuffle in it, so we have to review the cards in the same…

  14. 1.תיאום חזק יותר בין הspen לבין המסך. יש דיליי
    2. האפליקציה קצת איטית.
    3. חוויית המשתמש לא טובה. צריך לשפר דברים בארגון ובנראות כדי שיהיה קל ונגיש לתפעל במחברת לסטודנטים.
    4.הכלי של הצורות לא עובד טוב. היה נחמד גם אם היו צורות מוכנות מראש או לפחות שהאפליקציה הייתה קולטת נכון איזו. ורה רציתי לצייר.

  16. Been a subscriber on goodnotes for almost two years and I only used milanotes for whiteboards, however the difference is huge and making it hard for me to switch completely

    Im not asking for all milanotes features (but hey id love that), but just make it less bland and nore pleasing to the eyes. being able to center the text like we want, shadows on sticky notes, color background features and overall just making it more pleasing to the eye and more freedom to custom our board like in milanote

  18. Every Good Notes Essential plan bought since September 23rd 2025 (previously called "All Platforms Yearly" doesn't enable the user to sync their files between Apple and Windows/Android. So the users basically have two separate apps.
    That is absolutely useless.

    The advantage was to access and edit the files on different devices.

    For example: It is way easier for me to type flashcards on my windows laptop than on my iPad but I can't even open them on my laptop if I export them (wich already would be inconvenient). So I can't use them together. Study Sets aren't even supported for…

  19. Add the ability to search by document title in the search function.

    Enable AirPrint directly from within GoodNotes documents.

    Add a feature that shows how many documents have been selected when choosing multiple files.

    Along with these, I suggest restoring other useful features that existed in GoodNotes 4 but are not available in the current version.
