  1. Please release Goodnotes Mac at other regions as well.
    Or perhaps have a web version for the user to view, download and maybe even edit their document.

  2. When I'm taking notes, I like to check my digital book. I would like to have 2 documents side-by-side and in a way I can edit them separately but seeing both same time.

    We’re excited to announce that we have completed this feature. It is now available in the update GoodNotes 5.3 for iPadOS (13.1).

    With the update, we added full support for iPadOS’ multiple windows. It lets you do much more than viewing two documents side by side. To read everything you need to know about opening multiple documents, please visit goodnotes.com/ipad-os.

    How to open a new window:

    You can now open GoodNotes in multiple windows to view two documents side by side, view two pages of the same document in Split View, or pair it with other apps in spaces across your entire system. To open a new window, drag any of the elements listed below to the side of your screen:

    - the app icon from the dock
    - documents from the library
    - folders from the library
    - individual pages from the document thumbnail view
    - tabs from the…

  3. Add support for native MacOS Split View

    Hi everyone,

    We’re happy to announce that we have finally found a fix for the issues with iCloud. Apple’s engineers confirmed that there was a bug with the GoodNotes folder in their own system.

    After updating to version 4.11.11, which is available as an update on the App Store, you should be able to quickly sync all your changes and notebooks across all of your devices again.

    We want to take the chance to say sorry again to everyone that was affected by the problems. Thank you so much for staying with us during these hard times!
    In case you should experience any trouble with iCloud after updating to the latest version, please contact our support.

  5. Please fix sync problem between iPhone and iPad. My iCloud works fine. It's a problem in the app.

  8. Writing posture: left handed from above is a common style I have spoken to a number of left-handed friends who do not use a stylus because this functionality is not catered for.

    Hi there,

    thanks for the suggestion. You can already move the toolbar to the bottom of the page, specifically due to this writing posture, by opening Options>Settings>Document Editing>Toolbar Position

  9. I seem to have lost the original landscape squared paper, and I can't find a way to get it back.
    I have made many custom templates, and I like this feature, but somehow I made this mistake.

  15. For example Adonit Jot Script and others. iPhone 6+ is big enough that I am tempted to ditch note taking on my iPad and just use the phone. Converge everything on to the "phablet."

  16. The new large Apple iPhone 6 plus looks to be perfect size for taking notes, if the zoom box is supported on this iPhone.

    I use GoodNotes on my full size retina iPad and it is great. I've been considering moving to a retina iPad mini for note taking, but the iPhone 6 Plus would be an even better size. Please directly support the iPhone 6 plus!

  17. When reading a PDF document, If there is link to go to another page.. There is no way to return back quickly; I must use GO TO feature to return my previous page. For glossaries it's less efficient.

    Please put a feedback feature closed to the app, i do had to access this webpage to give you my feedback :)

    The app is cool :D I bought hte previous one too.

  19. I suggest you to request Jot Touch 4 homepage to update its information on Goodnotes. The homepage describes Goodnotes doesn't support palm rejection with Jot Touch 4. However, Goodnotes support palm rejection, doesn't it?
    I worried a lot before buying Jot Touch 4 today because the homepage says that Goodnotes doesn't support it. But I'm relieved now because I checked that palm rejection working in Goodnotes with Jot Touch 4.

    If the homepage was updated, I wouldn't worried about it.
