  1. 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.

    The latest update GoodNotes 5.5 is now available on the App Store. While scrolling through your document, you can now see the current page number and the total number of pages in this document. If you don’t like to see the page numbers, you can disable it in Menu > Settings > Document Editing.

  3. I get this (attached) message when opening Good Notes. Is it because my VPN is on? There is no way of contacting you except for this suggestion page, please provide a way to contact you.

    You can contact us directly from our help center on support.goodnotes.com. There is a link to a contact form in every article. Could you please use that to send us the diagnostic data that you can export in GoodNotes > Menu > About? We’ll investigate your case.

  4. At the moment in order to go back to editing my document I need to choose it once again or opening another one and then close it.
    It makes working on GoodNotes a bit messy.

  5. Have notes sync in real time. Maybe allow multiple users to edit. For example making a presentation in which you have a full view of it on one screen and can make live edits with the Apple Pencil. Kinda like google docs

  8. Once a line is created using the shape tool, the user should be able to manipulate that line by lengthening and shortening it from either end. Additionally, line snapping needs improvement. Lines should snap to each other and to text boxes more efficiently.

    We’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 & editing, and curve drawing. It further improves the recognition of circles and squares and adds back the ability to draw shapes with the highlighter.

  9. When we finish writing a sheet and we want to go to the next one, if we don't have it created, it gives us the option to add a sheet. It would be much better if it automatically added a sheet with the used template, without having to go to the menu to choose template.

  10. Please allow me to customize the pages I want to export instead of doing one at a time or the whole document! It's a pain.

  11. It would be nice, if it was possible to enable the presentation mode, while you are sharing your screen in a Microsoft Teams conference.

  12. Currently, if you double tap Apple Pencil to switch from pen to eraser, it will swap back to pen automatically. Some users might prefer, but this is not desired in some cases. Please add a toggle to disable this.

  14. 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).

  16. I like to underline titles and definitions, but in a fast-paced lecture it's cumbersome to select the shape tool, draw the line, then turn off the shape tool. Half the time I forget to turn it off and then make a mistake that takes even more time to fix. It would be a nice quality of life change to make it so that when you hold down the pen after drawing a manual line, it becomes a straight line a la the shape tool. It is the number one thing I miss about Notability.

  17. I am using MacBook version of GoodNotes. The latest update changes mouse cursor to a tiny pointer which is not visible on MacBook screen. Please change it back.

  18. Instead of having to use a shape tool, allow for automatic shape correction by continuing to press at the end of the stroke (as in apple notes and notability). This would allow for quick creation of boxes, straight lines and circles without having to change tools

  19. 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

  20. 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…
