  1. 尊敬的开发团队:

    作为一名勤俭节约的男大学生,我最近狠下心花了一笔不小的开销买下了你们的GoodNotes,一开始真是欣喜若狂,但渐渐发现问题一个接一个,让我非常失望。最严重的问题就是 发烫。我的iPad Air 5从来没有在使用其他应用时发烫,除非在酷暑时没有空调。但只要一打开GoodNotes,特别是在开始写字、记笔记时,靠近磁铁的地方(我估计是芯片的位置)就开始发烫,甚至烫得厉害!这绝不是我设备的问题——无论在WPS、OneNote还是其他笔记应用上,我从来没遇到过这种情况,完全不发烫!

    更让人无奈的是,这种发烫还带来了一系列问题,最明显的就是 延迟。即使设备烫手时,我用OneNote也从未出现过延迟,而你们这个收费应用居然连基础的流畅度都无法保障。OneNote免费、支持多平台适配,而GoodNotes价格并不便宜,却只服务于iOS用户,居然还出现这样的瑕疵!真的不敢相信,一个付费应用在用户体验上居然比免费软件还差。

    希望你们不要回复一些诸如“重启设备”的解决办法。我买这个软件不是为了每天重启iPad,更不是为了把你们的产品当祖宗供着!重启治标不治本,真要是有用,我至于来这里投诉吗?软件收费也不少,好歹也让用户体验对得起价钱,不要只顾华丽的外表而忽视用户的基本需求。请解决这些问题!!!如果只会做华而不实的臃肿功能,而忽视软件的核心体验,那真的令人破防!

  2. On the board, the students can see where I am going to change the text or continue writing, as well as what I am commenting on and pointing out with my other hand. This is what makes the blackboard so effective.

    If you want to replace the blackboard with GoodNotes, this would also have to be made possible. Technically, I think this would be possible. In presentation mode, the tip of the writing tool can be displayed (even before writing, in hover mode) and other parts of the text can be marked with a finger, which can be commented on…

  4. The search tab is really helpful but sometimes it’s hard to see the highlighted word I am looking for. Adding the ability to change this color to something brighter would be very helpful!

  5. I believe it would be a lot easier if all colours were linked as this would mean that I don’t have to add colours I like using to the pen, pencil, highlighter, and text colours. I’d only need to add it once rather than twice.

    It would also be good if we could have our own colour pallets similar to procreate as they can then be named, which makes it easier than scrolling through all the colours I have trying to find the colour I’m after as I’ve got so many colours now I’m easily loosing them! It could also…

  6. Moveability of the virtual page on the virtual background would be a huge banger. Maybe even rotation to fit to the user natural hand allignment on the page.

    Why?

    I ALWAYS have that huge problem on the lower part of every page. Cant access it porperly because of the rim of my iPad. It gets worse with my confuguration because i have heavy duty case (work in industry) which thickens the iPad alot.

    ofc I would have the same problem with normal paper or notebooks.. but we could have that option, right? :D

  7. Many cross stitchers use Goodnotes to stitch downloaded pdf patterns and highlight the charts(graphs) to keep track of where they are and know what percentage they have completed. Many like to track stitch count (per stitching session and cumulative), so it would be nice if Goodnotes had this feature. Thanks for considering this suggestion.

  9. 檔名較長時在修改檔案名稱的時候常常按不到最前面跟最後面,會一直跳出。
    螢光筆希望可以出水平直線功能,不是畫了按住不放才直線,這樣要等很久,而且只要稍微歪一點,就會變成斜直線,要有一個可以強制開啟水平直線的功能。

  10. Hello GoodNotes Team,

    I use the GoodNotes app daily for studying and journaling, and I’d like to suggest a feature that could make the user experience even smoother.

    Currently, to view two pages side-by-side, I need to enter split mode, which requires multiple steps: pressing the split mode button, selecting GoodNotes again, and reopening the file. While this works, it can be inconvenient, especially for frequent use.

    I’d love to suggest a two-page view that automatically activates when the device is placed horizontally (landscape orientation) without needing additional steps or split mode. This adjustment would allow for a seamless experience…

  11. Your minimum os requirement is way too high for me to enable icloud sync. My old computer is fine but to enable sync I have to upgrade my os which my old computer does not support. I would not subscribe goodnotes for a function I cannot use. It is impossible for me to buy a new computer just to be able to use the new version of goodnotes. Stop forcing me to upgrade my computer os. You need to be more inclusive!

  15. my handwriting is quite inconsistent and i think it would be a cool idea to have good notes recognise the letter you are typing and change it to a selected ‘font’. i know that i could just type but i much prefer to write my notes because that’s how i memorise well but i find myself rewriting a word multiple times to just make it look nicer. you could also go a step further and allow users to create their own ‘fonts’. this way it would be corrected to be neater but it would still stay in their handwriting. i…

  16. Sometimes I’m searching for many different textbooks and I don’t know which is already opened. I really wish that you can choose to leave the tabs of textbooks open while navigating through all the folders. It would be also a lot easier to get back to the document without opening a second one or going back through folders to the one that’s already opened.

  17. Current Situation
    As it stands, GoodNotes users have to choose between white or black paper at the beginning of a notebook, which stays fixed throughout. This setup has its limitations, particularly for those who frequently switch display modes to adapt to different environments.

    The Proposal
    What if GoodNotes could automatically switch between white and black paper when toggling between light and dark modes? This would be similar to how the iOS Notes app operates, where the paper color changes seamlessly with the mode. Notability also has a similar feature, and incorporating it into GoodNotes could enhance flexibility and usability.

    The…

  19. Now that we got dashed and dotted lines, I think it would be a great improvement to add the option of an arrowed line, just ending the line you're making with an arrow, I find that this would upgrade the note taking experiencie and a lot of people would find it very useful
