  1. Return the favorite page tab to the upper left corner. It was removed with the addition of the recording feature, which is cool but now we have to go through more steps just to add a favorite page.

  2. I love using GoodNotes for taking notes in school and I think it would be a good feature to add the possibility of scanning a formula using the AI from PhotoMath to solve a equation and give the answer.

  3. Dear team,

    I would like to suggest an enhancement to your tool’s functionality that I believe would significantly enrich the user experience. Would it be possible to implement a feature that allows users to highlight or select a specific text and, with a simple click, set it as the title of a summary? Additionally, it would be extremely helpful if, upon performing this action, the user could view a list of titles already created for summaries, thus avoiding duplications.

    Another valuable feature would be the ability to standardize the text of the summaries, including options to change the text to…

  4. Currently in experimental nmode, there is no way to see all flash cards in a study set, nor to move them to different sets. In case that isn‘t planned: that would be crucial for the feature to be usable properly.

  5. Please consider adding the option to just record audio without stroke links. Just an on/off toggle option for this would suffice.

    I personally never rely on this feature. Also these days Goodnotes has been crashing a lot during audio recording (even though I’m using iPad Pro M2 which should be pretty competent), and when I reopen the app the recording is lost, which is quite an inconvenience. So I wonder if turning it off would help prevent the app from crashing, and maybe reduce file size as a bonus.

    Much appreciated if you could consider this.

  7. Hello,
    I love the ruler which comes with the latest update.
    I use the checkered sheet template in Din A4. Normally one box is 0.5cm long. The template from Goodnotes is a bit bigger. That's good, because I'm a teacher and so the students see a little better via the beamer, because just everything is a little bigger what I write. However, the ruler doesn't fit with it, of course. The students are used to 2 boxes being 1cm. But you offer your ruler only in cm and inch. Would it be possible to also add an option that fits…

  8. I tend to upload my PDFs into GoodReads based on author names and years, and I have reading lists for particular subjects with pages.

    I would appreciate it when preparing hyperlinks in the reading to pdf documents I could use a search bar to find the actual document quickly.

  9. the free Mosyle version doesn't meet our license key installation requirements because it doesn't support AppConfig in order to push the license key to devices.
    Please provide another method to install the license key.

  11. Please add a function so that we can embed audio and video files just like images into good notes. Or at least that we can link them, but embedding would way better. Thank you.

  12. User can pinch in and out on iPad to zoom in/out on the 12 month planner. User can import their historical planner data (from other sources) from the past decades of their life into the template (infinite free form canvas) to view the master plan of their life. The unique selling point is the digitally typed text or stylus written text in each “day” box of the planner are auto word wrap within the confines of the box border with infinite space in the “vertical depths” of each day box. User can add images, videos and links too. User can…

  13. Please make it an option to permanently disable PDF outlines that exist within a document, so that you don't have to go to 'filter' in the outlines view and turn PDF outlines off each time you open up a notebook.
    When you download university readings or just lots of large documents in general it really clutters things up. I would love to be able to turn this off once for all my notebooks and forget about it!

  14. It would be SUPER handy to be able to write in the margins of page view for longer documents so you can scroll down many pages make notes about certain sections. Not just for long PDFs, but even journals or anything that results in length in which you want to make notes about certain key high lights of your document

  15. I often find myself using GoodNotes in the train and often the tracks aren’t straight but quite curvy which makes it sometimes impossible to write.
    I would like the option to cancel out any fast movements when writing or drawing, maybe using AI.
    This would mean, any “ugly” lines that were caused by shaking of the arm from sitting in a car, train, bus or rollercoaster would be smoothed out.
    This feature could be one of a kind for GoodNotes

  16. I love being able to search for key words, both in text and my own written notes, but would love to be able to search for different types of annotations as well. For instance, I tend to highlight key terms in orange, so if I could search for all my orange highlights in a notebook, that would make it really easy to find all the key terms.

  19. After downloading the app for the first time, you’ll be asked to create an account. In that account, all of your notes it’s gonna be safe and secure. You can delete the app or download in another device and all you have to do is log in into your account. I personally think it’s more reasonable to add this feature only to those who use the paid version of the app. With your account you can, not only access your notes anytime anywhere, but also feel safe about not losing your notes.

  20. 学習セットなどでは練習してるときにすぐに新規メモ帳を出せるのですが、ノートなどを見てる時にもメモ帳をすぐに出したいのです。学習セットではなくても、簡単にメモ帳が出るようにしてください。この機能は大変便利であらゆるケースで利用したいです。
