  1. Hello,
    we math teachers need a drawing tool in the app that can be used to draw a circle with a fixed radius and a circle center. A locking function would also be important.
    Is this planned for the next updates to Goodnotes 6?
    Best regards

  2. The study set is a very nice feature, but it is not fully functional yet. One of my requests regarding the study set is the ability to change the size of the cards. In its current state, it is difficult to use, especially when in edit mode, as the letters are small and hard to read. It would be very nice if this were implemented.

  3. While recording audio, GoodNotes should periodically autosave and start a new recording, e.g. once per hour. This would break the recording into hourlong chunks. This functionality is available in Notability, for example.

    Use case: if the user forgets to turn off recording, it’s easier to delete unnecessary recordings later by looking at the timestamp.

  4. since the last update its much harder to delete something by scratching it out. you just keep on adding lines and it creates an even bigger mess. it doesnt really matter how you do it (slow or fast movements, quickly or longer), it‘s way harder to get it to work as it used to. its such a nice feature if you want to get rid of something without using the eraser, which deletes stuff you didnt want to sometimes.

  6. GoodNotes users are looking to integrate AI features into the app, similar to other note-taking apps like Notion. AI-powered features such as transforming notes into practice tests, flashcards, table forms and summaries can help users study and revise more efficiently. Additionally, users would like to see AI-powered grammar and vocabulary suggestions to improve the quality of their notes.

  9. I would like to see an even larger maximum pen thickness setting. I’ll use it to fill in something, for example. It would be nice to have at least 10mm, preferably 100mm. Or, I would be happy to be able to set the maximum and minimum thickness settings in the pen settings, like Ibis Paint.

  10. Next to the voice record button or add page button (for example) instead of having to exit document editing and then go to the main settings menu (esp since it already takes so long for iCloud to sync and it fails often so it needs to be refreshed constantly). This would at least save a little time until the iCloud sync function itself can be fixed.

  11. I would love to have the option to see how much memory the respective file uses. The best would be a function to view the files that take up the most memory so that you can delete old files that take up a lot of memory.

  12. Wolfram alpha integration
    So you could reference all of what wolfram alpha can do as well as do conversions, reference info, as well as improving the math functionality with quick ability to do conversions and references that wolfram offers. So you could select a math expression for example or an ip address, or unit of measurement and be able to solve, convert, plot, subnet, and reference data. With the ability to search wolfram or have GoodNotes just be able to recognize data from notes and be able to do math and solve conversions and such.

  13. I often download slides from lectures and it would be great if I could be able to zoom out and not have the slides fill the whole screen when I am looking through it. I'm able to do this with documents made in the app, but not when downloaded and it would just be nice to not have it fill the whole screen, to get a better overview.

  14. For people with a high visual impairment the max. zoom level is to low.
    The possibility to zoom in without a limit, would be a big step towards to accessibility.

    All in all the work with goodnotes helps a lot in daily life for people with visual impairment. This would be another big step, making it easier.

  15. Please allow us to have options to send things forward and backwards. It would be extremely useful.
    For example, when you first write some text, and then you want to put a sticker or element underneath it. To do this, you insert the sticker or element but it goes above your text awkwardly (since layers are automatically done chronologically). To send the bubble back, you really don't have an option to, so you can either rewrite the text or move the bubble away and use the lasso tool to copy and paste ur text so it is moved to the…

  16. Allows users to ask questions about certain topics without having to exit the app. Incredibly useful and time saving. It can save time for finding maths formulae or answers for many other topics.

  18. I would like to have the option to easily switch between my dark template and close-to white font and a lighter background with a darker font.
    Could be integrated into the template side. Eg contrast colors.
    Or just with the shift from light to dark mode.

    → it is really hard to search for words in my texts while having a dark template. There just isn’t enough contrast to show me the highlighted words; thus, I always have to change template and color…

    1. Playback speeds at 1.25x 1.5x 1.75x 2x
      2. Option to delete our voice recording
      3. Option to split the voice recordings and edit them like cropping some segment of recording
