Please add a two-page view feature like the one in the app Flexcil. If you add just that, GoodNotes would honestly be the best note-taking app—hands down.

And no, I’m not talking about opening two separate windows side by side. I mean being able to view two pages side by side on the same screen, like a real notebook or a PDF reader.

I've been a loyal GoodNotes user for five years, and I swear I can't die until this feature is added. I'm begging you—please, please, PLEASE consider it.

Even Flexcil, which is a Korean app, supports dual-page view. Most PDF readers on desktop also support it. So why doesn’t GoodNotes?

If you bring two-page view to the iPad Pro, you will completely dominate the market. Please make it happen.

Dear GoodNotes Team,

I hope this message finds you well.

I’m writing to sincerely request the addition of an Open Book (Two-Page) View Mode in GoodNotes. This feature, which displays two pages side by side like a real book, would greatly enhance the reading and studying experience—especially for reviewing notes, comparing diagrams, and working with academic or reference materials.

Currently, while the Split View and multi-window support on iPad provides a partial workaround, it lacks the convenience and fluidity of a native two-page spread within a single window. Such a feature would not only improve usability but also bring GoodNotes closer to the reading experience offered by traditional paper notebooks or other PDF readers.

I believe many users would benefit from this addition, and I would be truly grateful if your team could consider it for a future update.

Thank you very much for your continued work on improving GoodNotes.

With the double-sided view, the illusion of a book could be created. Leafing through books, notes, planners, etc. would be more intuitive, and viewing double-sided documents would be easier. This would also be a unique selling point that appeals to those who prefer real books.

Not opening the same book in different windows. One window, showing 2 consecutive pages. Just like an open book. This is a great tool especially when using my iPad in landscape mode.

Two-page display mode please please please

like a real book
It helps me a lot when reading pdfs

It would be incredibly helpful to have a side-by-side (spread) view option within notebooks — allowing users to see two consecutive pages at once when the iPad is in landscape orientation. This would mirror the experience of a physical journal or planner and be especially useful for:

Monthly calendar spreads

Bullet journal layouts

Notebook-style text and note comparisons

Weekly overviews with planning on one side and notes or tasks on the other

When in portrait mode, the notebook should remain in single-page view, preserving the traditional scrolling format. But in landscape, the side-by-side view would offer a more natural and fluid way to interact with two-page layouts, just like flipping open a physical book.

This would enhance usability for anyone who designs or uses their notebooks with symmetry in mind, and would make Goodnotes even more powerful for digital planning, journaling, and study.

Thank you for considering this!

I’m using this on my iPad as a stage manager. Can we add the option on imported pages to have two pages per screen or like a book mode? I need one page to read the script and the next page to take notes on said script .

two-page view, like an open book. so you can see more at once

Insisting users can open two windows for two page view is laughably out of touch. Give us two-page view in the same window so we can comfortably scroll, save power, and run on less powerful devices. It's astonishing that this feature is still missing.

I would like to have a feature that allows you to open multiple documents in one window. So that if you use split screen you could, for an example have your textbook on the left side of the screen and on the right side on the top a document and on the bottom another document.

2 consecutive pages in the same note window, otherwise you need to scroll both windows to have the view that you need, this is doesn't seem to be too complicated.

Dear GoodNotes Team,

I would love to have the ability to view 2 pages side by side when using the app in landscape mode. Additionally, it would be even better if the 2 page view could support vertical scrolling. Currently, GoodNotes only allows viewing 1 page at a time in landscape mode, which feels quite restrictive when working with multi-page documents.

I noticed that the GoodNotes team suggests using Split View or Stage Manager to open two instances of GoodNotes and view 2 pages simultaneously. However, this approach comes with several inconveniences. Managing 2 separate app windows makes navigation and annotation less seamless compared to a native 2 page view mode.

Additionally, I use another note-taking application called Notes+, which already provides the ability to view 2 pages at once and supports vertical scrolling for 2 page layouts. I have attached screenshots of this feature as a reference, and I hope you will consider implementing something similar in GoodNotes in the future.

This feature would greatly enhance productivity, especially for users who frequently reference multiple pages at once, such as students, researchers, and professionals. I sincerely hope you will consider adding this functionality in a future update.

Thank you for continuously improving GoodNotes and for taking user feedback into account. I look forward to seeing what’s next!

Best regards,

Allow users to view four or more pages at once, like in PDF Expert.

This would make it easier to compare notes, review past pages while writing, and navigate long documents faster. Options like a 2x2 grid or continuous multi-page scrolling would improve productivity.

viewing two pages at once, eg. p1 and 2, p.13 and 14 together would make convenient for doing questions that continue to the next page/ plotting graphs/ reading comprehension, so no constant flipping back and forth to search for answers

Missed the point BY A MILE HOLY HOW BAD IS THAT DOUBLE WINDOW SH**

As you can see this has been requested for a long time now and I can see people still want this feature although you developed the split view because it is not the same. so hopefully you would listen to us this year

why it is important ?

First of some people need it for photographic memory like studying from an actual book

second of all you can add a page just next to the one you are reading and add quick notes easily with the same pen and everything looks smooth and nice not dealing with two small windows and all that fuss

finally it has existed on other apps and programs millions of years ago.

Hi,

I would agree with Shifa. I really like seeing 2 pages at once, not only for note taking, but also as a musician, it's really useful to be able to see 2 pages at once. I am finding myself switching to other less popular applications because of that, albeit their note taking experience is not as good. So I guess it is a very important feature for people like me.

Thanks! I do hope this feature will make it to your future road map!

the free app had this function。i hope goodnotes could also make it！

Hello!

I love using GoodNotes, but there’s something that’s been bothering me. Could you please add a feature for two-page or multiple-page view? It’s such a basic and essential feature, yet this advanced app doesn’t have it! I know we can use Split View, but it’s not the same as having a dedicated two-page or multiple-page viewing feature. Please consider adding this in future updates.

Thank you!
