  1. 1) Make curves with more than 3 points because I like to make vector drawings and it’s really hard to make a variety of curves when limited to 3 points

    2) Add a grouping feature which allowed you to move sections instead of the individual components more easily

    3) Adding some version of editable layers would make creating images and diagrams easier instead of doing “move to front” or “move to back”

  2. GoodNotes is great, and I really like the audio recording feature. However, right now, recordings are only displayed as a list within the note, and their names are set by default and cannot be customized. This makes it hard to associate specific recordings with the content of the notes. My lecture notes are often very long (over 300 pages), and after some time, I have no idea which recording corresponds to which section of the notes. I hope GoodNotes can support a feature where a recording can be dragged or inserted directly into the document and displayed as an icon…

  3. Imagine being able to insert a small, collapsible element on any page where you can jot down extra notes, ideas, or reminders. When you're done, you simply tap it to fold it away—keeping your page tidy and uncluttered while still having those notes accessible at any time.

  4. What was the point of dividing typing and writing. There are so many more apps that are better for writing or typing separately. What I liked about Goodnotes is that it didn’t have the hassle of typing a paragraph, printing it or using a different app to make notes on it. For now I will use Word and Notability. I hope there is a way to fix this otherwise I just wasted my money on goodnoted for nothing.

  5. Mann kann ja bereits eine mathematische Formel auswählen, in eine Formel umwandeln und danach bearbeiten. Dies ist allerdings sehr kompliziert, da man Funktionen we /fraq oder /phi nicht aus dem Kopf weiß. Man könnte eine Fromelfunktion einfügen, bei der man wie bei einem Taschenrechner verschiedene Funktionen wie einen Bruchstrich oder Wurzel oder hoch und tief schreiben für quadrat ^2, kubik^3 und so weiter sowie eine Suchleiste für Funktionen.

  6. 目前版本只提供iCloud同步功能,但同步後無法像iCloud檔案管理一樣釋出裝置上的儲存空間。
    建議加入雲端同步完成後可以釋出硬碟空間的功能。

  7. Could Goodnotes use the free LAMY iPadOS SDK framework to support all LAMY safari note+ features?

    Lamy is a well-known pen company that recently released an iOS-compatible digital writing stylus, the safari note+, named in part after its iconic fountain pen of the same shape. This stylus features two assignable buttons in addition to pressure sensitivity, palm rejection etc. on apps that support it. Goodnotes does not support those features currently.

    Under a list of recommended apps (Goodnotes included) LAMY calls out that other app's developers could support the safari note+'s features using the free-of-charge LAMY iPadOS SDK framework. Given…

  8. When comparing writing in Goodnotes with Apple notes, Goodnotes fells like the stroke limps behind the Apple Pencil (Pro) when writing. Trust me. Go in Apple Notes and you never want to use Goodnotes again.The Goodnotes 7.0 update is nice but please fix this first!
    Thanks

  9. Feature Request:

    Dear Developers,

    I would like to request a built-in image quality enhancement feature for the note-taking app. Imported images often become blurry due to screenshotting or file transfer issues, which affects the reading and viewing experience in notes.

    This feature could include (but not be limited to) AI super-resolution technology—capable of sharpening blurry details, reducing pixelation, and improving overall clarity of imported images. It would greatly enhance the usability of the app when managing image-containing notes, especially for users who frequently add screenshots or transferred images.

    Thank you for considering this request!

  10. Notion like document editor. On which I can annotate with pencil. Code format text, colored text, checkbox, toggle and much more like in notion. The current text editor is too rigid. It must be made a bit more user friendly.

  11. Notability allows you to drag and drop PowerPoints. To use Goodnotes, I have to open the PowerPoint, export it as a PDF (you must be a Microsoft 365 subscriber to do this), and then import it to Goodnotes. Since all my lectures are PowerPoints, I uses Notability solely because I don't have to open ~15 PowerPoints to export them as PDFs every week.

  12. I have noticed that, on the GoodNotes app for MacBook, I am unable to select or copy text from PDFs, even though the same PDFs allow text selection and copying in other PDF readers. I kindly request that you add this functionality to the GoodNotes app, as it would greatly enhance usability and user experience. Thank you for considering this feature enhancement.

  13. I use goodnotes without an external keyboard and I found extremely useful the left/right arrow keys to move the cursor when typing because many times it is not easy to place the cursor exactly in the desired position.

    Can you bring them back?

  14. Hello, and thank you for this amazing app. Here is a suggestion to make it even better for those of us who read and annotate dense documents.
    • The Problem: Imported PDFs (like academic papers, textbooks, etc.) often have very small margins, making it difficult to write notes directly on the page.
    • The Solution: Please add a feature to insert blank margins or "padding" around the entire PDF page.
    • Why it Helps: This would allow users to keep all their thoughts and annotations on a single page, right beside the original text, which is perfect for studying and…

    • Show all/hide all of tape in one click
    • darken the tape color when hide tape, so it can act as highlight as well

  17. It would be fantastic if the laser pointer could also be used to hide and unhide the tape in my notes!

    I suggest this because during my exam revision I use the laser pointer tool to quickly write the answer to what the tape is concealing. I then have to switch tool to the tape tool to uncover the tape and check my answer.

    Why not have the laser pointer tool hide and unhide the tape in my notes?

  18. Add a way for users to add new packages to the preambles of the LaTeX used for the AI, sometimes we just want to use a new symbol and can’t make it because the math mode won’t recognize it. It would be really helpful.
