Please fix the syncing issues. I have already updated the app today and I still get this syncing error message.

Import a (Microsoft) Word file properly
Now, when importing a word file it isn’t imported properly and everything is shifted, some things are missing and it just doesn‘t work. We‘d like, that it works as good as importing pdf files! Because that’s just awesome!
2 votesThanks for the suggestion. Unfortuantely, sometimes the format of Word documents can’t be read by our PDF converter correctly. In cases like this, please save the Word document to PDF first and then import it with GoodNotes.

No delay while using sidecar with Mac and iPad
This is all about sidecar. If you don't know what that is, here's a link that explains what it is: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210380.
I use my iPad as the second display of my mac so I can be on zoom on my laptop and take notes on my iPad by typing on my laptop - this is easier than typing on my iPad. This really makes it convenient for me as a student. However, one thing I noticed is that there is a HUGE delay between my action and reaction. Basically, when I scroll on my mouse, it takes 1-2 secs…
2 votesCould you please check if it would also happen in other apps? If the delay is only very noticeable, please send us an email to support@goodnotes.com and include a video where we can see how it looks like for you. It is likely a bug that we will need to fix.

Bug Report, wrong pdf order
I really love working with GoodNotes, especially when I mark my eBooks and PDFs.
Those have often a length of more than 200 pages.
Sadly, it often happens that (even though the order is correct in the „miniature-view“) some pages appear in a different order.
The problem can be fixed with a reset of the app but it’s very annoying I have to say.1 voteThis seems to be a bug that we need to investigate.

Refresh button for use across multiple devices
Most of the time, synchronicity across multiple devices is quite quick, however I've begun to notice it sometimes takes a while or I've had to restart the app. I am a university student and I use goodnotes on my macbook and ipad pro, which is great because I can screenshot things on my macbook and write notes on them on my ipad (almost) straight away.
1 voteThe speed of iCloud Sync is not something we can influence from our side. It should sync automatically every 15-30 seconds and it also depends on the size of the data that needs to be synced as well as external factors like your internet speed. In case you notice it is taking far too long or is not working at all, please report a problem to our support team so that we can investigate the issue: https://support.goodnotes.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
Make sure to export the diagnostic data from GoodNotes > Menu > About and include it in your support request.

Great delay in reaction to finger movement
Whenever you want to zoom in or out or even scroll up or down, the app reacts with a large latency - with some updates it was improved but at the moment it is sadly worse. Like that its definitely not fun to use, near impossible to work with to be honest. Would love if that matter could be looked into. - Love the app otherwise!

Scrolling lags initially, then jumps or goes too far
I would like if the scrolling feature using my finger to slide the pages up (I use vertical) would be more smooth and consistent. It is so frustrating when my first swipe is ignored, then the next one is slow and it seems like it does not respond consistently. I just want a smooth scroll when going through my lecture slides and taking notes quickly.

File name invalid error when importing PDF files
When I import files from cloud service like dropbox, I often get the error message "The item couldn't be saved because the file name "..." is invalid". The file can be import to other note apps and the name doesn't have any special characters. And the file names shown are usually with something like ".cloud" added weirdly in the end. Can you try to fix this problem? Thank you!

Undo and redo
Instead of :
two-finger double-tap for undo
three-finger double-tap for redo
If it can be just one tap It would be much faster2 votesThanks for sharing your feedback. We have tested this option and found that it is causing interferences with our palm rejection and often gets triggered by accident, which is why we decided to implement a more pronounced gesture with the double-tap. You can also use the iPadOS gestures for undo and redo to swipe right and left with three fingers.

When converting to PDF, the highlight shoudn’t overlay the text
In the app, highlighters are perfect, they lay behind the text, making it pop, and still doesn’t bother when reading it over again. When I want to convert my notes to share it with others, or printing it, PDF looks the best, sharpest. But after converting it, the highlight lays on top of the note making it less nice, and less readable. Is there any chance that we can still enjoy the notes as nice and sharp, even after converted to a PDF?
1 voteIt looks like it is a bug in the app as it should normally look the same on exported PDFs too. Please try to use either “editable” or “flattened” as the PDF data format when you export the document to see if it would change the output when sharing it. If that doesn’t work, please send the original notebook in GoodNotes format to support@goodnotes.com so that we can investigate. Thanks.

Zoom video conference
Whenever I share a GoodNotes file in a Zoom conference, the handwriting is so much delayed that I can't write with my grafictablet anymore. How comes? And how can I solve this problem?

GoodNotes Account
I think it would be very beneficial to implement an account/sign in system. So, whenever users sign in on a new device, all of their documents are already present. Similar to a Google Docs kind of set up. You can sign into your google account from any device and still be able to access your Google Docs.
iCloud can act as an extra layer of security. With this, there'd be less risk of losing documents when switching to a newer device. Often times, in my experience, my documents will grey out and become inaccessible as a result of improper iCloud…1 voteThanks for sharing your feedback. It sounds like there might be something wrong with your iCloud Sync in GoodNotes if you’re experiencing the problem where documents are greyed out. If it happens again, please report a problem to our support team: https://support.goodnotes.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
Otherwise, iCloud is technically supposed to do exactly what you described.
For other solutions, we’d have to built our own cloud storage, which also would come at additional cost to the user.

goodnotes 4 files not opening
I backed up my GoodNotes 4 files onto my google drive some years ago, and after I installed GoodNotes 5, I tried to import the .goodnotes files from the google drive to GoodNotes 5. But an error pops up. I tried different ways: Trying to open the .goodnotes zip files on my computer app, or rather using the google drive app to open the files via GoodNotes 5 but none of it is working.
It just says it can't import it (GoodNotes4Converter.GoodNotes4DocumentImporterError) Could you please fix this as soon as possible? Very important files are now locked in this .goodnotes…1 voteWe’re sorry to hear about that.

standard shapes, dashed line, arrows, improve circle, snap into lines in template, change template of all plages
Highlighter should highlight below text
Please have a shape option like in illustrator, u click what shape u want and u get the shape, also I really need dashed lines
Also Circles should have those anchor points at top, left, right and bottom. Current circles have those points at random places (I added an image which explains better) and also I would like to have an option to draw circle by specifying the center (tap at the required center point and draw out the radius to get a circle)
I don't know if something can be done about this but…1 voteThanks for your feedback.

currently when i draw a straight line across the screen it remains slightly tilted. Could you make an option that enables autocorrection for small angles so that lines can be 0, 10, 20, 30.... degrees ?
