  3. If you want to open two pages of the same document using presentation mode (but only one page is to be projected), the new procedure is very cumbersome. I would like to see the old function returned: you open the page overview and simply drag the desired page to the other side of the screen. This would save time in class.

  4. It would be nice if I could download only the documents I wanted. I have a small iPad mini capacity, but downloading all the documents makes the capacity so much that I can't even update the iPad os.

  5. Subject: Issue with macOS Update and iCloud Synchronization

    I am experiencing an issue where my Mac is unable to update, citing incompatibility with the latest version. As a result, iCloud synchronization is not functioning.

    The system indicates that macOS 14.5 or higher is required. However, even though I am currently using macOS Tahoe 26.4, the update will not proceed.

    I would greatly appreciate a prompt resolution to this matter. Thank you.

  6. 오랜시간동안 아이폰과 아이패드를 사용하면서 굿노트를 사용해 왔는데 최근 업무로 인해 안드로이드 스마트 폰을 구매 했습니다.

    굿노트를 안드로이드와 아이패드에서 동기화 해 사용하고 싶어 pro 버전 구독도 했지만 goodnotes cloud 사용이 불가능해 연동이 안됩니다.

    초대 링크도 받지 못해 사용할 수 없는데 대단히 불편합니다. 가능하다면 goodnotes cloud 링크를 보내주시거나 빨리 기능을 업데이트해 사용할 수 있게 된다면 좋겠습니다.

    Hello,

    I have been using GoodNotes on my iPhone and iPad for a long time. Recently, due to work, I purchased an Android smartphone.

    I subscribed to the Pro version because I wanted to use GoodNotes on both my Android device and iPad with synchronization. However,…

  7. Dear Goodnotes Team,

    I am a dedicated Goodnotes user and rely heavily on the app for exam preparation and daily study.

    Cross-Platform Viewing

    While I primarily use my iPad for handwriting notes, I often need to review materials on a Windows PC or in a web browser. The ability to seamlessly sync and view iOS Goodnotes content across platforms would be a game-changer.

    Being able to reference notes on a larger monitor while typing or completing practice exams would significantly improve productivity for students and professionals alike.

    Thank you for your continued work on such a valuable tool. I hope…

  8. Please do find a way to prevent elements from moving around when switching between different devices. It is very frustrating to edit a dokument om my ipad omly to open it om my macbook and seeing that the textboxes and highliting etc have moved in relation to eachother. It makes it very hard to navigate on my macbook, and the contet does not make sense because of this. I am uploading two pictures where one is from my ipad, and the other is the exact same document opened om my macbook. Pleeeease find a solution for this! Thank you.

  9. The Current Bottleneck

    Currently, managing a large library across multiple devices introduces a significant friction point: local search indexing.

    • The Waiting Game: Opening Goodnotes on a secondary device or setting up a brand-new device requires a lengthy indexing process for all changed or new documents.
    • Resource Drain: While downloading the actual PDFs and notes takes time, forcing every individual device to build its own search index from scratch is incredibly inefficient. It consumes massive amounts of battery life and CPU power.
    • Screen Time: To make matters worse, the app must remain actively open on the screen until this indexing completes,…

  10. It seems that my 2017 MacBook Pro 15" isn't compatible with Goodnotes anymore (it doesn't synchronies to the latest documents anymore and says that I should Update my Goodnotes app but my App Store doesn't provide any new updates.) and I just wanted to feedback you that I find this very sad and would really appreciate a longer support for older devices (:

  11. I would like to edit a notebook on my Mac and iPad at the same time using Turbo Sync for minimal lag. That way I can use the full size keyboard on my Mac, drop in screenshots from my Mac, and then annotate or draw figures with the Apple Pencil. I was ready to pay for 2 subscriptions to pull this off but because they would both be associated with the same Apple ID it did not work.

  12. 高校の授業でipadを使用させていただいています。
    以下の方法を行うとプロジェクタースクリーン、生徒のiPadともに画面が真っ暗になってしまいます。
    ① 教員iPadでgoodnotes 6を2画面表示する
     → 左は自分用、右は生徒への共有用
    ② MacBookをプロジェクターにHDMIで接続
    ③ MacBookでgooglemeetを開いて、生徒に画面共有を開始
     → 生徒の画面には教員MacBookの画面が投影される
    ④ 教員iPadをMacBookへミラーリング
     → Goodnotes6 のプレゼンテーションモードで右側の画面だけ表示されるようにする ⑤ 教室前方のスクリーンと生徒iPadに同じ授業スライドが投影されていた
     → 現在はここでプロジェクタースクリーン、生徒のiPadともに画面が真っ暗になってしまいます

    iPadOS 26へのアップデート前は問題なく画面が表示されており、生徒からも「手元でスライドが確認できるのは非常に助かる」と言われていたために、現在非常に困っています。
    4月の新年度を迎える前に改善をしていただけると本当に助かります。
    また改善方法等がございましたら、教えていただけると幸いです。
    何卒よろしくお願いいたします。

  13. Share a note to other users without having to backup everything on the app. I think we already paid a lot of money to this app. We should be able to share notes without icloud like Google sheets, docs or Canva. And we can share on those apps for free. Goodnotes should have their own cloud at least for the note sharing option!

  14. Mit dem neuen Betriebssystem iPadOS 26 kann man nicht mehr, wie bisher, die linke Seite des Splitscreens (Goodnotes-Fenster) über den Beamer synchronisieren und auf der rechten Seite eine andere App als Goodnotes öffnen, die nicht gestreamt wird. Für Personen, die diese Funktion im alten Betriebssystem nutzen mussten, ist das sehr ärgerlich. Deshalb die Bitte an das Team von Goodnotes: Macht das wieder möglich!
    Danke!

  18. We need a kind of way to sync it cross-platform without needing to use iCloud... I'd love to have my files on my PC and access on my Ipad or phone without having to ALWAYS export it. I don't use iCloud... and I can't even share it using a local sharing or a sharing using any other cloud service as the base for it.

  19. I can't edit the iPad notes on the Windows PC because GoodNotes Windows doesn't sync with iOS.

    Maybe it's possible to implement a system where users can sync their notes between GoodNotes client using other cloud storage platforms (OneDrive, GDrive etc.)

  20. I have an older mac which runs on Catalina thus I cannot install the goodnote app on my imac. I would love to atleast have the iOS library sync to the web version so I can use it on universal device without needing to create a link for ease of use.

    (Just like android users)
