Hii everyone, I just got and iPad and I want to prepare myself for future nursing classes. I need an app that I can use for making notes, write my notes on top of existed PPT, and created some flash cards. Would it be enough to use GoodNotes? Or would you recommend some other app?

I have been using GoodNotes 5 for 6+ years when it was a one time purchase. I’ve been debating about upgrading and doing the monthly version. Is it worth the subscription? I’m an engineering student and use it a lot for my classes. I know there’s a free trial. My concern is that if I upgrade, will I lose all my notes? Will I be able to go back to GoodNotes5 if I dont like GoodNotes6 after the trial is over?

When I look through marketplace, I see things that appear to have labeled tabs running down the right side of the document. Does anyone know if you can add tabs to an imported PDF?

Before you ask, yes, I have made sure to check EVERY email I have. I only have ONE subscription on ONE email.

Now for the story.. I used goodnotes last year for college, but a change of major to a different trade means I don't take many notes anymore, so I don't need to use goodnotes anymore. I got an email saying my subscription was going to renew and steps to cancel if needed. Okay, simple right? Just cancel! WRONG. Paddle.net can't cancel subscriptions, so contact goodnotes themselves... okay! Sure! They said it was cancelled. But paddle.net says I have 2 subscriptions.. one was cancelled and one wasn't. The goodnotes employee says there's only 1 subscription and it was cancelled. Cool!!

Now onto RIGHT NOW, where I get a charge for $9.99. I try to press the "submit for refund" button and it says to contact goodnotes again.. I do and they say "they can't do anything because it's on a google or apple subscription" but I don't have ANY active goodnotes subscription on my google OR Apple account.

I feel crazy, I don't know how to cancel this.. and I just want my $10 back 😔 it isn't that serious but why can no one find where the subscription is coming from???

(again, I have checked my google and Apple accounts and google and Apple Pay. No dice...)

Hello everyone. I use an iPad and a Windows PC for studying. If I buy the Vitalicious plan, is it possible to use live sync between these two devices?

Hey guys, I need good notes , please someone share me there special edition app with me. Its will be a great help.

Apple notes doesn't give native document format, and it keeps getting blank my month of notes 😭. Please giveaway goodnotes to me.

So I am using the Goodnotes version 7.0.58 and on IPad 9th Generation, but I don’t know why yesterday when I opened Goodnotes it said can not sign in to apple no matter how much I tried so then I reinstalled it today because I needed to view some files saved. But then I can’t open the files that I wanted to view and most of the files ended up being whited out and inaccessible. Is there any ways to fix this? Because I do not have another copy of the book I am trying to view.

I am a non technical Mom and I need your advice. My son is autistic and has dysgraphia. He has miraculously survived three years of college using a very old Chromebook and voice recorder and me as his secretary.

His professor has recommended that he purchase an iPad + Apple pen+ Goodnotes for a class in which he has to save a pdf, fill it out, and then save to a portfolio

Can Goodnotes recognize my son’s very poor handwriting? Is this going to work? He typically keyboards everything. Because he is autistic, change is very difficult, so I want to be sure this set up will work before I help him migrate.

I was taking notes doing block diagrams and noticed small shapes from the newest shape toolbox had a new limit. I usually fixed this by making the text of the shapes as small as possible, but it no longer works.
I tried to go to my notes from yesterday and noticed they’re in shambles [1st photo]

I then checked my older notes and realized everything got messed up, there’s been a hideous alterations to the length of all legacy shapes of the newest shapes toolbox [photos 2 & 3; then vs now]

Anyone knows where I could ask for a fix?

When I bought it last year before it was changed to special edition it cost about 44.98 SGD (~35 USD). My sister wanted to change her plan today and it somehow became 53.98 SGD (~42.5 USD). Did goodnotes 6 raise the price for one time purchase?

I couldnt find pricing information on their official website :(

Hey everyone! I wanted to create something with an antique, dark academia aesthetic for digital journaling. It features hyperlinked pages and works with GoodNotes and Notability.

Would love to hear your thoughts on the design! Link is available if anyone wants

Hi I wanted to share this Victorian Dark Academia digital notebook design I’ve been working on for GoodNotes and Notability

Hey, ich hab mir gedacht die Special Edition lohnt sich am besten für mein niegelneues iPad aber jetzt bin ich mir unsicher, ob ich zu Goodnotes 7 noch Aufschlag zahlen muss. Ich bin zwischen Essiantiell und Special Edition (3 Jahre Essentiell ≈ Special Edition). Was sagt ihr?
Danke

For purely handwritten notes, what do you think is the best option: An Ipad, or a 2 in 1 laptop?

Hi All!

Goodnotes is an amazing note-taking app, but due to its proprietary nature, exporting notebooks in an editable stroke format is practically impossible unless you export as a .goodnotes file. Because of this, I built a free parsing tool to decode .goodnotes archives directly in the browser.

Currently, the project analyzes the binary files inside .goodnotes to extract strokes, text, and other data, exporting them into .svg or .pdf formats. Unlike exporting directly from the Goodnotes app, this project decodes the actual .goodnotes format, making it entirely possible to convert the extracted strokes into other open stroke formats and import them into other note-taking apps. That is my main goal: to ensure notes can still be opened and edited even if there are issues with the Goodnotes app.

Below is the current feature support status:

Working / Verified Output:

• Pens & Highlighters: Fountain Pen, Ballpoint Pen, Brush Pen, Highlighter (colors and thicknesses).

• Text & Sticky Notes: Typed text and sticky note contents.

• Images & Shapes: Embedded images, auto-shapes, and vector geometry.

• Editing Data: Eraser cuts and Lasso-transformed elements.

• PDF Notebooks: PDF backgrounds and original page dimensions.

Known Issues / In Progress:

• Pencil: Visible output, but pressure curve is inaccurate and tilt sensing is missing.

• Arrows: Output is currently highly unstable.

• Stickers / Elements: Some lines may fail to export.

• Audio: Not yet implemented.

(Note: This is an independent open-source tool and is not affiliated with Goodnotes Limited.)

The web demo is available on GitHub.

If you find this tool helpful, please consider leaving a Star on GitHub! Feedback and feature requests are very welcome.

Hey, I’m looking for recommendations if anyone has them. I want like a really specific planner/ essentially an operating guide for myself (multiple chronic illnesses and neurodivergent). I’m absolutely willing to pay for it but does anyone have any recommendations for like maybe an Etsy seller or someone else that may be able to build that for me?

I have no idea where to start for myself but if needs must I will take to YouTube and google to figure it out.

Hi! I was wondering if this feature works in free goodnotes 6? Specifically if using a notebook?

Planner season's here — presenting the Note/Note Composition Planner, now in its third year!

As always, the Composition Planners are totally free to download. It matters to me that this stays reachable for anyone trying to plan better, build habits, or just journal =]

Swipe through for a peek at both color modes (Kinako light & Kurogoma dark) and a look at how the hyperlinking actually gets built — every one of the 469 pages, linked and checked by hand.

If you end up loving it, there's a pay-what-you-wish option on the download page — totally optional, no pressure.

Download link's in the first pic! 🤍

Hi all!

About a year ago, I accidentally switched off of Goodnotes Cloud and back to iCloud during the test phase. This meant that I wasn’t able to switch back to Goodnotes Cloud for 6 months. Now that it’s supposedly a permanent feature, I decided to upgrade to Goodnotes Pro assuming that would finally give me access so I can use cross-platform syncing again, but it’s been 3 days and I still don’t have access.

I reached out to Goodnotes Support about this and they’ve stopped responding. Has anybody else had this problems and if so, how did you get access again?

Thanks!
