  1. To take better notes, consider viewing multiple pages simultaneously by collapsing text between two points, similar to the functionality in Liquid Text. This allows for a clear overview of related content while minimizing distractions and maximizing productivity.

  2. I’ve been a dedicated GoodNotes user since early 2021, having chosen it over Notability after extensive research. It was a near-perfect note-taking app for me, and the one-time purchase model made it even more appealing. Over the years, I’ve adjusted to its shortcomings because, overall, the experience was solid.

    However, in mid-2024, as I began my MBA, the necessity of recording lectures became undeniable. But to my absolute frustration, GoodNotes makes this process far from discreet. The recording indicator is blatantly visible—a glaring orange timer that continuously updates, drawing unnecessary attention. Every time I record, people notice and start asking…

  3. 🎀 Adding a widget feature on the home screen (Documents) and in any section is better, to make it customized through individuals' perspectives. For more clarity, this includes different sizes of widgets, photo widget (from Pinterest, notion, or even from the device itself), customizes to-do list (customized shape (framed and unframed), colour, wallpaper, and bullet point), clock widget and etc.
    🎀 Moreover, customized wallpaper (colour, fancy frame, etc.) will improve the user's comfort, space, and creativity. It will help the users find their pace to suitable mood, zone, and comfortability.

  4. On iOS, there is an API to do so UIViewController/prefersHomeIndicatorAutoHidden.

    Hiding the home indicator can maximum the app space that can be used, as well as prevent users from leaving the app accidentally.

  7. Please add the option to be able to scroll past the margin. Right now, it is very inconvenient to write at the bottom / right side of the page, since your hand is on the edge of the iPad. Let us move the page up past its border for easier writing

  9. It would be really helpful to have a scrollbar that makes it quicker to scroll through long documents or notebooks. A simple, draggable bar would make navigation much more efficient.

  10. Currently, when adding a link, the input field is pre-filled with an actual URL instead of a placeholder.
    This requires manually deleting the existing text before entering a new link, which is inconvenient.

    I would like the input field to display a placeholder instead of an actual URL by default. This would improve usability and streamline the process of adding links.

  11. I’ve been using GoodNotes 6 on my iPad Air 11-inch M2 with iPadOS 18.3.2 and while I love the app’s handwriting tools and organization, there’s one feature missing that I’ve found incredibly useful in both Microsoft OneNote and Apple Notes: auto-scrolling pages. Right now, when I’m writing in GoodNotes, I have to manually drag the page to move to the next section or page, which feels clunky and interrupts my flow—especially during long note-taking sessions like lectures or brainstorming.

    In both OneNote and Apple Notes, the page automatically scrolls as I write near the edge, seamlessly expanding the canvas or…

  13. It would be great to have an option to convert typed text to handwritten notes in your writing style using AI. This could be available in the select bar above the text field when you press on it, with a button labeled Convert to Handwritten Notes.

  14. Could we have the same typing feature on windows that we have on Mac/iPad?
    Currently when I type in a notebook I have to use a text box and text does not snap to the lines on my page (on windows) like it does on Mac or iPad.

    This would truly revolutionise Goodnotes for a lot of windows users.

  16. How accurate is GoodNotes' handwriting recognition feature for searching through your notes?

    Factors Affecting Accuracy: Handwriting recognition accuracy in GoodNotes varies depending on factors like handwriting style, the clarity of the pen strokes, and the language used. If a user has very neat, uniform handwriting, the recognition will generally be more accurate. However, for more stylized or inconsistent handwriting, accuracy may decrease. For example, cursive writing might be harder to decipher compared to block letters.

  17. add something like google translate inside the app. Also, it will make the work easier for a student like me who speak Arabic and all his subjects in English, so translator will help me if I have any issue with the vocab a lot of apps like callnote have this feature and I’m sure that Goodnotes can do the same
