  1. It would be really nice if the Nordic languages, such as Danish and Norwegian was recognised, especially when doing handwriting to text.

  2. I recently switched from Notability to Goodnotes, I enjoy this app but I found the centering tool to be very helpful on Notability. I like my notes to be as clean as possible so I’d greatly appreciate it if some type of action was to be done for this to happen!

  3. you should add some studying tools such as
    tape to cover the answers while studing.Also,The recorded voices shouldn't take a space in the device. Additionally, the laser pointer should have multiple styles.

  4. Wonderful to now have a ruler... but please make it a changeable scale ruler. This is critical for architects and designers and will be life-changing in the app.

  5. It would be great to add widgets to pages and choose to have these be per page or persistent (thus appearing on every new page in the location selected). Widgets I'd love to place on my pages would be:

    Date/Time - Box that shows the date/time (with option for format). When you add this it will place it with current date or time but user can tap to change. If you choose to make it persistent, when you create a new page it will use the current date/time unless user changes.

    Page # - Simple text to show current page…

  6. The new typing mode is super useful to write down large paragraph text input.
    The bullet list/number list are particular important for notes.

    However,
    we will need sub-bullet points and sub-number lists. For example:
    1. background
    a) xxx
    b) zzz
    2. method.
    a). xxx
    b). yyy

  8. In the last update the 3 pen thickness options have disappeared from the tool bar to make space for the more colors options. As students, need to change the THICKNESS of the pens very quickly and countless times when taking notes.

    PLEASE BRING IT BACK ON THE TOOLBAR!!

  11. Hi, I really enjoy Goodnotes, nut the only issue I have is that I bought premium, but my language (Swedish) isn´t supported which makes me really sad. When are you adding more languages?

    1. A history of all notes opened. This should have a duration limit. Say if someone spends 10 minutes reading or revising a note it should go into history. Or let each history entry be deletable.
    2. Calendar view of which notes were opened on what dates and what time.
    3. Ability to schedule entire notes or pages of notes into a spaced repetition system.
    4. Ability to rate how well you know the notes.
    5. Noteful introduced tape feature to hide parts of notes similar to cloze feature of Anki. They have Layers as well. Goodnotes should introduce these features

  12. Study sets are great and i love this feature very much but i think some additional improvements will make it extremely useful and great.
    For example how much I remember the cards, if there is multiple option as in Anki such as easy, good, hard & again rather than know it or not will improve smart learn and add filter cards queue, some cards i forget it at all while others i just forget a little bit of it so the only two option make them equal.

    Although if there is an option for backward of cards as I accidentally…

  13. Using OpenAI's Whisper model which is open sourced, Goodnotes can enhance the audio recordings done on the iPad and also feed them through OpenAI's Whisper model for on-device audio transcriptions.

    This will maintain user privacy and provide unlimited transcriptions at the expense of battery life but it would be well worth it to click transcribe and have a textview in a window to the right that is synced to the time. Notability has done this and it looks fantastic.

  15. Audio Transcripts—the power to turn any audio recording directly into text within your note! Capture every detail and never worry about gaps in your knowledge. Copy, paste, and search within time-stamped text, so you always have the info you need! Now available with Notability Plus

    Notability has just released this feature to the market and I think it's very important to have this function for students or lectures.

  17. Hi, my main language is Slovak and I have been very excited to download your app and use it on my university lessons that start in September. I bought an iPad and Apple pencil and I am trying to learn to write notes on GOODNOTES. However when i am converting my writing into text, it keeps correcting my words into many different languages or wrong words and it is so annoying and frustrating. Not only it makes me mad but I truly will not be able to fix it constantly on my lessons. For my school, I will need to…

  18. I would love to be able to use the lasso tool to select a handwritten word in a notebook and have that take me to a particular section in my notes. I know you can link to a certain page, but from my knowledge the link must be typed and I would like to be able to be able to link to a section of the screen. This could maybe be done by zooming into a certain section that you want to link to and having a button up the top allowing you to save that position in the screen…
