  1. Googlemeetでの画面共有

    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。

  2. Sharing notes with other users without backing up the whole library

    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!

  3. Streamen einer Hälfte eines Splitscreens

    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!

  7. Cross-platform Sync

    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.

  8. Sync Windows with iOS version

    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.)

  9. Web sync for IOS library

    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)

  10. synchronization

    frustration regarding the synchronization between devices on your platform. As an iOS user, the current experience is incredibly disappointing. I recently purchased GoodNotes on my iPad, only to find that I cannot use it on my iPhone without making an additional purchase. Furthermore, accessing it on the web seems to require a separate payment.

    This situation has left me bewildered and questioning the company's policies. The impression I get is that users are required to make repeated purchases for the same application across different devices, which is not only inconvenient but also seems financially burdensome. I urge you to address…

  11. Nextcloud Backup & Sync

    Please add nextcloud support for backing up notes. The German government is now switching to it and is just a great solution for self hosting clouds. Also many universities (at least in Germany) use it.

  12. Selective iCloud Sync

    I would like to choose which notebooks / documents get synced through iCloud. I have plenty of documents on my iPad that I don't want to have on my iPhone. Things like PDF manuals or PDF presentations that I just can't use on the smaller iPhone screen.

  13. OwnCloud Backup & Sync

    Beside the Dropbox sync an OwnCloud would be cool. It gives more flexibility in using GoodNotes.
