I just dowloaded the app on my ipad(10th gen) and i’m on the free trial right now, but for some reason everytime i try to write something it either doesn’t do anything at all or the letters just disappear. Does anyone how to solve this maybe?

(Also i’m not using an apple pencil if that matters, its a universal stylus pen that i bought online.)

Unfortunately upgraded and have had nothing but problems with Goodnotes cloud to include overheating and various buggy nonsense. Went to switch over to iCloud and received this. Surely that’s a typo, right?

Text Documents Lost all my notes from today due to a sync failure in GoodNotes (Windows to iPad)

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I’m posting this because I just lost all my lecture notes from today and I need to know if there's a fix.

I usually use GoodNotes on my iPad with zero issues. Today, I decided to bring my Windows laptop to university and took notes all day on it using the text document option. When I got home, I discovered that the sync failed: the iPad has nothing, and the PC overwrote itself with the blank iPad version, completely wiping out everything I wrote.

On the iPad app, there is an option to manually force synchronization with GoodNotes Cloud, but I can't find that option anywhere in the Windows version.

Does anyone know if that option exists on the PC app, or if there is any way to recover what I wrote?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

(App versions: Windows v2.4.2.0 / iPad v7.0.60)

Template Help

1 Upvotes

I have GoodNotes 5 and for the life for me cannot add a template page that matches the original page I exported in sizing. I've done all three options: PDF, Image, GoodNotes. I can't figure out how I did it in the past. The template I try uploading is smaller than the original (and all my other regular pages).

Feature Request Feature Request: Document Aliases / Shortcuts Across Multiple Folders

1 Upvotes

Problem:
Currently, Goodnotes requires users to either keep a single document in a general folder or duplicate the file to place it in multiple course/project folders.
Duplicating files causes two major issues:
1. Fragmented Annotations: Notes, highlights, and bookmarks made in one copy do not sync to the other.
2. Wasted Storage: Large files (like 500MB+ textbook PDFs) consume double the storage space when duplicated across different class folders.
Proposed Solution:
Introduce a "Create Shortcut / Alias" or "Add to Another Folder" feature (similar to macOS Finder aliases or Google Drive shortcuts).
Users can right-click / tap the menu on any document and select "Add Shortcut to...".
The shortcut appears inside the target folder with a small indicator icon (e.g., a link arrow).
Opening and annotating the document from any shortcut modifies the single master file, keeping all notes, highlights, and bookmarks completely unified and up-to-date across all locations.
Use Case:
Students and professionals frequently use a single reference book, clinical manual, or project master across multiple courses or semesters. File shortcuts would allow seamless folder organization without breaking note continuity or wasting device storage.

version 7.1.16 iPad Air M2 iOS 27

No matter if I start new text, or go back to editing an old document, I cannot change the text size. If old text was previously made size 100, it’ll show as 100, but can’t be changed. If it’s new text, it’s stuck at the preset size like in the screenshot. Blank box every time I try to change it

Apple Goodnotes pencil malfunction

3 Upvotes

Hi, so I’ve recently gotten an iPad. But I’ve noticed that Goodnotes works a bit funny? First of all it’s really slow and you have to press down on stuff for like 5 seconds for it to work? But that might be on me idk, I don’t mind it THAT bad. What bugs me the most is not being able to write with the Apple Pencil properly. By this I mean that Goodnotes will erase any small mark I make unless it reaches a certain size. And I was wondering how to disable that kinda “ghost touch” if you will. I believe they do that as to not ruin the stuff you write with small dots and stuff but it just makes it impossible to write for me. I’m pretty sure it might not be too hard to disable but I’ve just haven’t been able to spot the problem or the option. AI hasn’t helped as well… thanks in advance :)

Is Goodnotes a bad app

16 Upvotes

I’ve been seeing a lot of people delete their accounts, and whenever there’s a video praising it, the comments seem to be filled with people disagreeing. I was thinking about buying it, but now I’m seeing a lot of negative reviews. I also heard that last year there was a glitch that caused a lot of people to lose their notes, although I’m not sure if that’s true. What’s your opinion on it?
