  1. Now that audio recording is available, you also need to add functionality to allow the audio to be exported out of the note as a separate mp3. I use this function on another note-taking program so that I can have the audio transcribed. I can't use Good Notes for my job until this is possible, so I'm staying tuned to see if this is added in the future. Not sure if other people are this specific. Adding this and voting for all the suggestions that are close to this idea.

  2. I love the new audio recording feature but find a few issues with it and potential improvements.
    1. Once you’ve recorded, to play a recording it plays the first ever recording and you need to find the spot for your latest one. I think it would be more logical to automatically play the latest recording, especially for people with large notebooks who don’t want to skip through hundreds of previous audio recordings.
    2. Be able to rename audio recordings or have GoodNotes use AI to rename the audio recordings (name it the title of the page, or do like voice…

  4. Since the update that includes voice memos, the favorites button is no longer in at the top with the other tools like took up and export. I would prefer it was brought back because it takes much longer now to add a favorite page. Thanks!

  5. Having the ability to choose preferred eraser size just like how we can change the pen size. Sometimes the larger eraser is too large and sometimes the small eraser is large when erasing small details.

  7. I often take pictures of the chalkboard/slides in class and put it in my goodnotes.
    The square board is warped into a trapezoid because of perspective.
    I'd like a crop-function where you place the corners where they should be (make a trapezoid on the original image) which then is reshaped into a rectangle in goodnotes.
    This would be extremely useful.
    Google photos already has this feature if you need examples :)

  8. Much like Canva, have the ability to import SVG images to use as stickers with the option to change the sticker colors, like Canva does (it can change up to 5 colors).

  9. Please consider a feature where users can customize notebook outlines by enabling toggles or by enabling suboutlines.

    It would make a notebook more neat and convenient when outlines can have indented suboutlines under them and/or toggles that collapse when clicked. It’s inconvenient to have to scroll a lengthy outline compared to a collapsible one.

    Some PDFs I import have this feature and it creates collapsible toggles in the goodnotes outline section but when I create a notebook within goodnotes it does not give me an option to create toggles.

    See attached files. The first pic is an imported pdf with…

  10. I write with my palm resting on the right side of my iPad, but when a line I've written reaches the right side, I am suddenly writing with my palm on the table. I'd like an option that supports moving the page off-center to the left and having it stay there, so I can continue writing without shifting my hand.

    For comparison to another drawing/writing app, Procreate canvases let you do this.

  11. Love the new voice memos feature, I wish that they were easier to use though. I would appreciate it if the names could be edited after recording, and if they could be linked to and played by a voice memo sticker on the page.

  12. Add back the favorites to the top left tool bar on iPad version. When studying, the little red ribbon that lights up when the slide is marked as a favorite tells me I need to spend more time understanding the material. I really miss this feature.

    • having the stats on how well you doing for Study mode flashcards
    • able to view all flashcards in small tabs like for the other notebooks, but add that feature to flashcard because having to edit the first flashcard you made, but you have 100+ total flashcards is soooo time consuming!

  14. Just happened to compare my writing on goodnotes & notability, goodnotes seems to have lag with my writing whereas notability is super smooth with an unnoticeable lag. Kindly look up to resolve as goodnotes is my favourite.

  17. I like the new feature very much which is the audio recording but it will be more helpful if we can add the audio file from other voice recording app or if web are transferring from the notability it will be easier to just drop the audio or the whole note with audio being shared to goodnotes.

  18. Es wäre sehr sinnvoll, wenn GoodNotes 5 eine Funktionalität hätte, um ein Lineal oder ein Geodreieck welches man in der Größe und Länge verändern kann zu nutzen, für Mathematik in der Schule wäre es sicherlich sehr nützlich.

  19. I use goodnotes as my main PDF viewer, however whenever I want to navigate a Math book it is really long and tidious because there are hundreds of pages, and scrolling when there are no chapters to the PDF is really long and frustrating.

    That's why I suggest changing pages using left and arrow keys on keyboard as a fix to this.

    I think this is a reasonable solution as it should not be too hard to implement. Thank you.
