  2. What happens is that for cursive handwriters we write whole word with a single stroke and when the problem occurs on the last syllable we have to undo and then whole word gets removed.
    It would be a great feature to have if you could just hold with 2 or 3 fingers to undo the same way as the word written so that only last syllable gets erased quickly.
    Thanks

  7. Dear Goodnotes sales team.

    Thank you for your great service.
    I`ve used Goodnotes 4 for 7 years from 2014 and I was really satisfied with your app before I knew released new version in App Store in the middle of 2020 and finished free upgrade service when I knew it.

    Unforturnately, I missed free upgrade service you provided to Goodnote4 user. But I sometimes thought it is really I am unluckly because I missed free upgrade service or Goodnote team is very unkind and unfriendly compared your other competitor like Flexcil.

    I try to use Flexcil app resently, this app…

    Thanks a lot for sharing your feedback and sorry to hear that you missed the free upgrade period. We did show the information about the free upgrade for an entire year but it was only shown for people who had updated GoodNotes 4 to the latest version back then. Would you mind reaching out to our support and explain your case to them? We’d hate to lose someone who has been a loyal user for such a long time. Here’s how you can contact our support team: https://support.goodnotes.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

  8. When I connect the presentation of reflection through AirPlay, found that in the Good Note application, can be extended or zoom the screen at the iPad normally. But the image that is reflected through AirPlay, found that the image drawing board of Good Note also shows only the full screen. And display the expansion or zoom screen, not same the screen of the IPad So Making it difficult for presentation. Please update as well.

  9. I'd love to have the possibility of having larger than A4 paper templates.
    A2, A1 and even A0 templates would be awesome when you have to create flow charts.

    Hi there 👋 Thanks for the suggestion. GoodNotes allows you to add any PDF or image as a custom paper template to your template library and you can easily create your desired paper template size using a text editor like Word or Pages. Alternatively, you can find many additional paper templates for free (or a low price) online.

  10. I'm starting to doubt that GoodNotes 5 team even visits this Feature Request page; there are MANY great, INTUITIVE features that have been suggested here YEARS ago and didn't come to life. Like, come on!

    This is a paid app; it should get more attention than free ones. Before I purchased the app, I was really confused between which app to get, GoodNotes 5 or Notability? I chose GoodNotes 5 because I saw the potential this app could become. I read the requested features here and I believed it's a good investment if these requests later came to life. I…

  12. We need to be able to select certain pages when exporting. Selecting only one page or all pages is annoying and if we have to submit homework or notes, some pages we don't need to submit. It would be helpful and practical.

    To export selected pages, open the thumbnail view with the overview of all pages in your document. Tap on the select button, then tap on the pages you want to export. You can now tap the “export” button at the top.

  13. When I open goodnotes app, It's show up "Preparing your library for a faster experience" and then close itself in 30 sec. It's happen for 3 days and I need to use my file in there... TT Pls help me (PS. I didn't backup on the iClouds or Googledrives because I didn't know how to do that sorry....)

  14. Hello! I wish you add a modular toolbar which I can snap of the current position and move it anywhere I like. And also the ability to customise the toolbar would be nice. Still, cheers for the great app!

    Thanks for your feedback!

    We’re excited to share that in our latest update (September 2025), we've added the floating toolbar, that you can place anywhere on the screen: top, bottom, left, or right — for a more personalized and flexible workspace.

    Make sure you're updated to the latest version to access this new feature.


    Toolbar customization options are currently in development and will be available very soon.

    Thread for the customization feature request here: https://feedback.goodnotes.com/forums/191274-customer-suggestions-for-goodnotes/suggestions/50583833-toolbar-customization

    We’ll share another update as soon as the customization options go live — stay tuned!

  15. please allow users to enable swiping with one finger and only writing with apple pencil (also second generation) for more convenient usage

  16. In M1 iPad Pro, there is a missing option in settings called ‘stylus and anti-false touch’ (don’t know the exact English word for that). Please fix that bug ASAP, thanks

  18. It would be great if the user can decide where the toolbar located (Left, right, or Top)
    Like other painting software, I can use left hand to switch between tools without moving my wrist

  20. Bitte bei der Tastatureingabe wieder zur großen Tastaturansicht zurück wechseln.
    Die kleine in der Ecke ist schon recht mühselig.
    Obwohl die Idee mit der Schreiberkennung schon cool ist.
