  3. There is no way to see just the notes, comments, or annotations made within a documents. Other apps like PDF Expert and Notability do this, making it easy to go through whatever pages have notes written in them or annotations or comments.

    A nice bonus would be to also make comments searchable.

  4. 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…

  5. Display highlighter colours as how they appear on the page of the notebook when used. I can never guess how the highlight colour will actually show up when I select it.

  6. I am currently trying goodnotes 6. I was excited about the math feature, however, when writing equations they seem to be consistently converted incorrectly. I understand that there is a process to improve handwriting recognition, and it can be especially difficult when it comes to complex equations, but I was disappointed to see that I could not edit the latex to correct the mistakes. This would be a simple implementation and could allow goodnotes to collect data in order to improve the conversion.

  7. When dragging symbolic links pointing to some PDF Files into the GN Window on the Mac, it simply does nothing, not even an error message. Dragging the PDF files works, but then they are imported with other names. Like other Unix-programs, GN should treat symbolic links the same as it does files.

  8. In the screenshot below I was linking the pages of my weekly readings for a class. I had the beginning of each week in the outline and wanted to access them by clicking on the text at the beginning like a table of contents. I had to link them by having the outline open on the side then scrolling to find the page on the other menu. I think it would be more efficient to just have the option to see bookmarked and outline drop a like and comment if you agree.

  9. Possibility to generate an App link like goodnotes:///document/page to link to a specific goodnotes document and page and place this link in a different app like omnifocus. So when I click on the link goodnotes open the document on the specific page

  10. The Laser-pointer is nice and i appreciate it. But it would be cool if you could customise colour, transparency and how long the laser will stay on the paper

  12. Until now all flashcards are white but it would be good if we could change the color to improve studying.

  14. Within the smart learn function in making flachcards, priority customisation function would be beneficial in improving the learning the ability of the flashcards. Give us the option to choose which flashcards should take priority within the smart learning instead of the flashcards showing at random.

  16. Hello GoodNotes Team,

    I’ve been experiencing significant issues with the audio recording feature after restoring my data using an iCloud backup. Since the restoration, my audio recordings no longer sync properly with my notes. For example, when I play recordings at 2x speed, only the audio accelerates while the notes remain at 1x speed, causing a mismatch between the two. Additionally, the app crashes frequently during playback.

    I’ve seen reports of similar issues from other users as well, so it seems to be a recurring problem. This issue is severely affecting my workflow, and I would appreciate it if this…

  18. When using keyboard function on the menu bar I can only change the style and formatting to the pre-set styles. I would like to have the ability to change Font size, Font style (Helvatica, Arial, etc.) I can do this on the Pen menu but not on the keyboard menu.

  19. Notability has a feature that creates transcripts from audio recordings and syncs the written notes with the transcript. I believe this feature would be incredibly useful and make Goodnotes more competitive with Notability. PLEASE make this a feature in an upcoming update!!!

  20. Would like for programs like Launcher Pro and others to launch the app without the app believing you are trying to upload a file. This creates an error every time I launch Goodnotes from Launcher on my iPad.
