Split view
It would be great if one could work with goodnotes split view and then be able to return to all my folders from my second goodnotes page. Until now I can only close the second page (x Botton on top left corner).

Show multiple pages of the same doucment on different tabs
Some times we need to reference different pages of the same document at the same time and will switch among these pages. Could you show multiple pages of the same document and each page is in a different tab so that we can jump to these pages easily and quickly? A simple implementation is to allow a document to be opened in multiple windows. A better implementation is to alllow multiple pages to be sticked on different tabs.
3 votesYou can already open the same document in multiple windows. Here are a couple of ways how to do it: https://support.goodnotes.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001118635-Opening-GoodNotes-in-multiple-windows-on-iPadOS

Option to turn off auto-shaping
There should be an option to turn off the automatic generation of straight lines when holding at the end of a line. Sometimes I just hold the pen down when I'm thinking about what to write next, and it's annoying when my word turns into a Picasso.
1 vote“Draw and Hold” can be disabled in the pen tool options. Tap on the pen tool icon twice to access the pen tool options.

GoodNotes 5 for MacOS does not automatically update like in iOS/iPadOS
Dear Sir/Madam,
The GoodNotes 5 for Mac app does not automatically update even though I do have the automatic update setting for MacOS apps turned on. Instead I need to manually request an update for my Mac app in order to keep it up-to-date with the iOS and iPadOS apps; those do automatically update.
Please note that when different versions of Goodnotes are running on the different platforms, namely the Mac and the iPad or iPhone, the documents in GoodNotes cannot properly synchronise. This is how I discovered that I need to manually update my Mac app since it doesn't…1 voteThanks for sharing this observation with us. We’re using a so called “phased release” for our new updates which rolls out new updates to an increasing number of users with automatic updates enabled over 7 days. Users are randomly selected, so it is likely that you have been selected for the iOS update but not for the Mac update. If it is really a bug, then it is a problem of the App Store that we wouldn’t be able to influence from our side.

Please change the geometry tool
It is really annoying and often not working. If I want to make a stripe longer it’s not at the same place anymore. Maybe just drawing and holding would be better. And that you can adjust the size. This problem is really annoying so please please fix it
1 voteWe have updated our shape recognition last week with lots of new features including what you suggested: https://support.goodnotes.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000113596-Drawing-perfect-lines-and-shapes

Users working in collaboration on the same document in real-time
It would be very helpful if GoodNotes had a feature that allows two or more users to work together on the same document and see the changes happening in real-time. Users would be able to work in collaboration on a document but there would also be a microphone feature that allows them to talk to each other as they are working together. I imagine the microphone would work like the one in Zoom, where users can turn it on when they want to speak but turn it off when they don't want to be heard.
The collaboration feature should allow…
11 votesThanks for your patience. We have finished the real-time collaboration feature and it is now available to all users in shared documents. Changes should appear on other people’s devices as soon as you lift the pen.

Annotate PowerPoints
My professors give lectures using PowerPoints, which they share with us before class. When they're presenting the lectures, they usually give us extra information that is not present on the PowerPoint, which we need to write down in order to understand the material better. I can write these notes on a separate page but that's not as effective as writing them directly on the PowerPoint slides. If we could write notes directly on the PowerPoint, then everything would make much more sense. I would be able to see the bigger picture instead of seeing just the smaller fragments. It will…
1 voteGoodNotes for iPad and iPhone supports PowerPoint files already. If you’re using the Mac version, you will need to convert the PowerPoint file to PDF first.

Changing the order of notes in files
I am using this app for taking notes while watching lectures. Sometimes, professor change the order of teaching lectures like 1.3 →1.1→1.2. Therefore, I need to change the order them, but now I cannot do that.
1 voteYou can reorder pages in the thumbnail view by dragging them to a different postion. If you need to reorder written notes on the page, use the lasso tool to cut out the text, then make space by moving other objects on the page, and paste the text back in.

Flashcard option
A flash card option would be magical, it’s really hard to find a decent app that has this option, basically a Apple Pencil compatible feature of what quizlet has. This would be a really big hit based on the amount of people looking for something with this option (Reddit forms)
1 voteThe latest update of GoodNotes includes a flash card feature. You can find more information here: https://support.goodnotes.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001888175

Flashcards integration with Cornell template
Hey first I wanted to say this app is great and you guys are clearly be putting in tons of work and soul into this so I wanted to thank you.
I noticed there was a new experimental feature with the flashcards so I gave it a whirl and think this could be huge. Amazing.
I also wanted to give you guys a little suggestion, maybe this function could be integrated with the Cornell paper or the 2 columned paper (where the first column is thinner than the second) since I think most people who use these formats will probably…
1 voteYou can actually make any paper template a flash card.
1. Open “Notebook Templates” in the GoodNotes Menu
2. Tap on Edit in the upper right
3. Tap on template name and the …
4. Toggle the button next to “Flash Card Template”Now this paper template will be considered as a flash card. The top half is the question and the bottom half the answer.

Get back to your recently Opened Tabs
Sometimes, after switching Apps on iPad or iPhone and launching GoodNotes 5 again, the Foldersection is shown. That is is not the big deal and absolutely fine.
To make working smoother in GoodNotes it may be possible to add another Button in the downbar (with Favorites, Search, Sheared and Documents) with which it is possible to „reopen“ your current tabs, i was working at.Today i have to search my document or open another document to get back to my working area.
1 voteYou can use the “recently opened documents” section in the Search tab. We have noted your feedback and will see what we can do to make it faster and/or more intuitive.

Make shapes by long holding
With the ios14 update, it seems GoodNotes is the only note taking app that still uses a separate tool to create shapes. It would be great to make shapes by pausing after drawing. It would be even more helpful if we could make curves, arrows, and dotted lines like in Notability.
1 voteWe’re happy to announce that the update 5.6.0 that we released today adds an improved shape recognition including the option to hold at the end of a line to make a perfect shape, shape selection, and curve drawing.

Saving our Custom Colors
We should be able to save our created colors in GoodNotes 5 so that we don't have to keep the same tab open. Having our colors saved will save so much time since we don't have to create every single one again.
If not, then at least add a color eye drop tool!!!1 voteCustom colors you add to the presets should actually save in GoodNotes already. If it is not the case for you, please contact our support team via email to support@goodnotes.com so that we can check what’s wrong.

3rd Party Mouse Scrolling
Please add mouse scroll wheel support. This makes scrolling through pages using a mouse (aside from Magic Mouse / trackpad) much more convenient than having to hold and drag to scroll.

Cant use custom fonts anymore
I currently updated my devices to the current IOS 14 and it currently does not allow my custom fonts as a selection in the drop down menu because GoodNotes uses the old font API. I am hoping this issue will be resolved soon and I can resume using Goodnotes with the custom fonts I created. Thank you.
