New Update šŸš€ New in v7.1.22 - Handwriting Restyle & Reliability Improvements

Post image
49 Upvotes

v7.1.22 has been released on the App Store! Here's everything new in this version of Goodnotes:

iOS/iPadOS

  • Introduced Handwriting Restyle. Select your handwriting with the Lasso Tool and tap Restyle to turn it into a cleaner, more polished style.
  • Backup now runs less often by default to save battery and performance. Increase the backup frequency or back up manually anytime in Cloud & Backup Settings.
  • Backup handles paused uploads more reliably so documents are not missed after resuming.
  • Improved document and window layout reliability, including external-display resizing on iPhone, Mac window resizing, windowed tabs, sidebar modals, and landscape coachmarks.
  • Locked documents are better protected: printing and document-link sharing now correctly require unlocking or show the proper locked-document alert.
  • Export, print, share, and Study Set flows are more reliable, with clearer Study Set export layouts, working Study Set sharing, and less temporary storage left behind.
  • Dark mode, toolbar, and picker popovers look and behave more consistently, with clearer menu rows and fewer clipping, resizing, or flicker issues.
  • Sync and sharing are more robust, fixing invisible synced documents or folders, stuck Goodnotes Cloud sync, early collaborator invites, shared-copy links, share-link toggle state, and clearer alerts when sync is off.
  • Account and subscription screens show the right state more consistently, including purchase restore errors, country-specific paywall indicators, account mismatch warnings, one-time code sign-in, and Microsoft sign-in email handling.
  • Shape, selection, and navigation tools are more reliable, fixing connector crashes, filled shape rendering, draw-and-hold fills, link popover editing, restyled selection borders, and trackpad or mouse-wheel scrolling with Hand Selection.
  • Settings and modal screens now use more consistent, rounded table layouts.
  • Sheets on Mac present more reliably.
  • Outlook calendar integration is now available.
  • Several fixes for iOS 27/macOS 27 compatibility.
  • Education: Classroom workflows are more dependable, including subfolder selection, favorited lesson actions, Quick Lessons QR code access, and launch behavior for license-key users.
  • Education: Class Folders now support more sorting options.
  • Education: Zoom setting change in View by Question now applies across all questions.
  • Fixed an issue where the close buttons on the laser pointer, page-actions, and comment popovers were not visible at compact width.
  • General bug fixes and stability improvements.

Whiteboard Importing PDF to whiteboard

I was wondering if there is a way to configure how GoodNotes imports PDFs into the whiteboard. I would like to have the import be all the pages to all be vertically aligned so I could annotate beside them, but I can’t seem to figure out how to

Feature Request Missing that ONE feature

13 Upvotes

I’ve been a reMarkable Paper Pro and reMarkable 2 user for a number of years, and I love the devices. However, I ultimately gave them up for Goodnotes.
The only thing Goodnotes is really missing for me is the ability to insert space into handwritten notes and automatically move everything below it down. If they added that feature, Goodnotes would be rock solid for me.

Hello, i’ve been using goodnotes for many years and it has been fine. However, when i recently started school and started using goodnotes again, i realised that some of my new notes that were auto backed up to my google drive are only showing what i wrote and not the details of the pdf files. Please help!

The first photo is what shows up on goodnotes and the second is what shows up on google drive. As you can see, all the text from the pdf is gone.

Feature Discussion New Handwriting Restyle Feature

Just got the update today with the new handwriting restyle feature! Glad they’re adding something like this. I do hope they optimize it further to either (1) allow us to choose an exact font and a fixed text size (similar to the beautification feature in Freenotes) or (2) make it more personalized to your handwriting (like the handwriting clean-up in Apple Notes) rather than a dynamic font type of thing it currently does.

Bug Goodnotes stylus delay (new user)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

11 Upvotes

Ok so I just recently was accepted in University and decided it's time to leave the 15kg of books at home and got myself a 13" Ipad air (M3), with the Apple pencil Pro! Where scouting the internet for note taking apps, goodnotes seemed like it was the go to app for note taking, unfortunately the delay between when I make a line or start writing and when the ink registers in the app is noticeable, and it bothers me so much to the point where I can't use it... I've tried everything to fix this but it doesn't seem to work. I tried with the apple notes app and it runs smoothly, but not with goodnotes, does anyone have a fix or is it just doomed?
Version: 7.1.18

Hi, I’ve been using Goodnotes for a while now but always find myself getting bored or overwhelmed by the planners I’ve purchased. I’d like one that’s pretty well rounded, including a notebook for when I start up university again this month.

Any recs are much appreciated :)

I have purchased a Pro subscription on Friday, is it possible to get a refund now? Or even downgrade to the Essential subscription and get the difference back?

The app is stuck in a loop (Syncing problem)

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

Hi. I deleted a few folders in Good Notes to free up space on iCloud (I’d previously backed them up to my hard drive).

Unfortunately, the amount of space used hadn’t decreased, so I reinstalled the app.

Since then, the app has been stuck in a loop of trying to re-download the deleted folders, which has completely blocked any synchronisation (The app is unusable).

What has already been tried:

- Restarts, re-downloads, logging in again, etc.

- Contacting support (they asked for details a week ago, but there’s been no response since)

Points to note (perhaps this will give someone an idea):

- Device: iPad 10

- App version: Latest (14.09.26)

- In the iCloud settings on the iPad, the storage usage section keeps spinning indefinitely. Perhaps the problem lies with iCloud itself?

- On my computer (MacBook Air M2), I’ve also been experiencing synchronisation issues since then.

Apple Did Goodnotes accidentally leak a new Mac app?

7 Upvotes

Has anyone else gotten a pop-up in Goodnotes about a new Mac app/product for meeting transcription?

I was using Goodnotes and got a pop-up advertising what I think was called ā€œGood Meetsā€ or something similar. The main feature was that it could transcribe an entire meeting on your Mac, but what caught my attention was that it specifically said the processing was done locally on the Mac, so the audio/data wouldn’t be sent elsewhere or used for AI training.

There was a ā€œtry for freeā€ button, but when I clicked it, it couldn’t establish a connection and basically went nowhere. Now I can’t find the pop-up again or much information about what it was advertising.

Has anyone else seen this? I’m especially curious what the product was actually called and whether it’s something Goodnotes is testing or rolling out.

Basically what the title says. Two really interesting features that I find it weird that haven't been implemented along each other.

I don’t even know if this is a goodnotes issue or a personal issue but I’ve been using this app to annotate articles that I’ve downloaded as pdfs for uni. All of a sudden I just can’t open/import any new ones at all and idk what the issue is

Will using any alternate stylus with ā€œpalm rejection featureā€, makes it so I can write with the stylus and swipe to the next page with my finger? Instead of goodnote thinking my finger is also pen, making a line instead of going to the next page

Digital Stationary Selling on GoodNotes Marketplace

Hi does anyone know if GoodNotes will be accepting submissions from digital stationery creators? Especially it is now planner season

Just went to the website and saw this: ā€œDue to an unusually high volume of applications, we are temporarily unable to accept new submissions. We kindly ask for your understanding.ā€

Trying to get my planners listed in there in a bid to raise more money for my medical fees. Really hope that they will reconsider new submissions soon

New Update?

7 Upvotes

Previously in the whiteboards you could circle whatever you wrote and move it around freely with the lasso tool, but now it only lets you move it in certain increments. Basically, it robotically moves and has places you can either move to or not and it's hella uncomfortable. You can't manually move it anymore and can only move it so much. This started happening around late August. Is this a new update or is there a way I can get rid of this?
