Signature workflow
You need to deeply think through the workflow around signing complex documents. Apple Mail now handles simple signatures directly within the email app. But this doesn't always work.
The workflow with Goodnotes (and all other apps, mostly because of sandboxing of common document types like PDF, which should not be sandboxed because they do no harm--but no one on the planet will convince Apple because Jobs didn't like file systems and no one at Apple can contest the memories of the infallible Jobs). Phew.
There are several problems specific to Goodnotes for this obvious and common business scenario:
1. Goodnotes…4 votesThanks for sharing your detailed feedback about the email workflows. In fact, we are thinking about this and have implemented a feature that should shorten these steps for you already and let you automate parts of it to a certain extent. We call it “Email to GoodNotes”. It allows you to automatically import PDF attachments to emails that are sent to a unique GoodNotes email address.
You can read more about it here: https://support.goodnotes.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000477276-Using-Email-to-GoodNotes-for-importing-PDF-filesBy using services like Zapier or IFTTT, you can also automatically forward email to this address, so that PDF attachments will always show up in your GoodNotes “inbox” when your defined criteria are met (for example from a specific sender).
Of course, this doesn’t yet help for the step of the workflow where you have to send the file back.

Are you also using the iPad version? If yes, why do you need automatic backup on the Mac as well?

2 votesWe’re sorry to read about the negative experience you have with the eraser in GoodNotes. Would you mind sharing a screen recording or a video that visualizes which problems you’re experiencing with the eraser? You can send it to support@goodnotes.com so that we can have a look.

Pressure Sensitivity
Can you add a threshold setting for Apple Pencil sensitivity? That way it would ignore the pencil if there wasn't enough pressure applied to the screen. It would really help people who accidentally link letters together while writing in a print/cursive mix.
I imagine a slider setting somewhere that you can move about and pick the threshold thats best for you.
Currently all of my writing jumbles terribly since all contact is recorded, unlike writing with a pencil on paper where very light touches are barely visible.
16 votesThanks for sharing your idea. It is noted in our system. In the meantime, switch to the ball pen, which is not pressure sensitive at all.

NotePedia is a place that people share thier notes to world publicly
You can access a lot of notes written by the good note app.

Possibility to close every open document
A button with which I can close every opened document and even the last open window at once would be very great because sometimes I find it quite annoying when I open GoodNotes and when opening a document the last one ist still opened in an other window.
I would be very happy with a new feature like this.
Maybe it would be possible to do it like this:
if you hold the go back button (with which i can go out of the opened document viewer) a button appears which says something like: close all windows
Thank you already…19 votesThanks for the feedback. In the meantime, you can try the following:
In GoodNotes > Menu > Settings > Document Editing, disable the option to “Always open documents as new tabs”.
If this is disabled, new documents won’t be opened as new tabs all the time. Instead, you can only open one document at a time, or use the option to “open in a new tab” from the action menu. Tap on the down arrow next to the notebook thumbnail in the library to open the action menu.

“Close other tabs” menu on the current tab
In the "Documents" app, if you open multiple pdf files and touch the currently open tab, the "Close other tabs" menu appears. So, you can easily organize unnecessary tabs except for the pdf file you are currently viewing.
However, the "Goodnotes 5" app shows serious inconvenience and inefficiency in opening a new window, removing unnecessary windows, and then finding and opening the required pdf file again.11 votesThanks for sharing your feedback. In the meantime, please try disabling the ability to automatically open documents as new tabs in GoodNotes > Menu > Settings > Document Editing. You can still open documents as new tabs by tapping on the drop down arrow next to their name in the library view. The best way to open a previously opened document is from the search tab in the “Previously Opened Documents” section.

Preview
When switching between tasks on my ipad a preview from GoodNotes with a page is shown which i deleted a long time ago. It would be better, if a preview is shown from the last active notebook page i used.
3 votesThanks for the report. We will need to investigate that. Could you please check the following:
- if something similar happens in other apps
- if you have multiple windows of GoodNotes open and if this is maybe an old window
- if you can reproduce this problem reliably or only occasionallyIt would be great if you could send us the information to support@goodnotes.com so that we can investigate.

Reader mode
Hello, it would be interesting to be able to open GoodNotes in reading mode rather than in editing mode. I noticed that often, when I want to consult a note, I make a lot of barbel on the first page because I try to scroll through the pages. Maybe just put this option in the settings for those who are not interested. Thank you

Exported Documents ADA Compliant
I import PDFs that are ADA compliant; but when they get exported out of Good Notes, they have lost all compatibility. Is there a way to preserve the incoming structure, and to include handwriting recognition to make the documents ADA compliant?
1 voteCould you please add more specifics which capabilities are needed exactly to be ADA compliant? We are not experts in this field. Please note that there are two different PDF data formats you can chose from in the export options. Flattened and Editable. Flattened will preserve the option to search for handwritten notes.

Improve apple pencil speed
Since ios 13 the notes app with apple pencil has less latency, going to goodnotes again seems so slow in comparison
29 votesThe Apple Pencil latency is also down to 9ms in GoodNotes. However, GoodNotes doesn’t use “stroke prediction” which will make the line look “slower” than in Apple Notes when drawing longer lines quickly. It won’t affect the usual writing experience. Do you notice a higher latency when you’re writing as well?

Concept page
Add concept pages that are basically inside the document as all others, but aren’t put into a pdf fíle.
1 voteThanks for submitting your feedback. We’ll consider it for future updates. In the meantime, you can select the exact pages you want to export in the thumbnail view and deselect the “concept” pages.

Larger pages A3 /A2 /A1/AO
The ability to insert larger pages where required. I see from a previous response that continuos pages aren't an option for various good reasons. However, the ability to have larger pages that you can scroll around, zoom in, zoom out on would be useful. There are times when you need to put a lot of information on one page.
19 votesThanks for the request. Noted. In the meantime, please consider adding custom paper templates to your library:

Not an idea actually, but complaints and requests
I am sure I'm not the only one who have asked for this in the past, but I will ask for it once again (not hoping for much though, since 2 years passed since I first asked for it -others too as I said- and nothing has been done).
ADD NEW PENS! This is handwriting note taking app! Pens have been the same since GN4! Oh, don't tell me that the "brush pen" you added in the horrible GN5 is an addition! It does nothing! How about looking at other note taking apps to see the variety of pens they…
17 votesWe’re sorry to hear about the negative experiences you have with GoodNotes 5 and are thankful that you took the time to write such lengthy and detailed feedback.
We’re optimizing the ink algorithm continuously and haven’t heard many complaints about the smoothness in recent times so we’d like to take a closer look at your case. Would you be able to share a comparison video of how it looks like when you write in GoodNotes 4 vs GoodNotes 5 to support@goodnotes.com? That will be very helpful for us. Please refer to this review, so that we know it is you. -
Allow vertical scrolling without side to side movement for reviewing and highlighting
It would be helpful if when vertically scrolling through documents it does not move side to side. This is very frustrating when trying to review and highlight numerous documents.
4 votesThis usually happens when there is at least one page in the document that either has a different orientation (landscape) or is larger than the pages you’re currently looking at. Please try locating this page and remove it if possible to avoid the problem. We’ll see what we can do to handle page scrolling better in cases like this.

export pdf without the handwriting notes
It would be helpful, if there would be a checkbox to switch the export of the handwriting notes on or off.
I often create a presentation in GN. To publish only the slides with the pictures, text boxes etc. but without my handwriting speaknotes, this option would be very nice. Until now, I have to create two documents. One with the handwriting notes and one without my marks.15 votesDid we understand it correctly, that the option to “exclude” annotation in the export option won’t be suitable for you because you want the exported document to include text boxes and/or images but no handwriting?

Create a "send-to" GoodNotes address to send mail and other documents to the app
It could be very useful to have the possibility to forward or send a document via mail directly to a personal Goodnotes mail account without saving it in PDF and importing to the app.
Thank you12 votesInteresting request. How would you use it?

Holes and squared for A4 -Pages
Please create a squared A4 Page
(with two or 4 holes, where it can be perforated when it´s print out)

, like a real college notebook.This would really facilitate my learning routine!!!
5 votesThanks for the suggestion. We’ve noted your request. For now, you can just scan a paper page or take a photo of the template you need and then add it to your templates library:

Convert handwritten notes as you write in real time.
Much like the writing magnifier, except it will convert your written words in that window in real time onto the page as typeface text.
41 votesThanks for the feedback. We’d be interested to hear why you like to have your handwriting converted automatically and what you need to do instead since GoodNotes doesn’t do it.
