  1. Many times when inserting a picture I do it to write on it but I must be very careful because it tends to move with any finger resize or displacement. could you add an option to kind of make it permanent once I insert it.

  2. Right now, the app doesn't run well, isn't integrated with S Pens (the button can't be binded), and it just doesn't feel enjoyable to write on.
    Writing this from an S9 FE.

    I think letting it run natively (instead of currently through basically a well hidden browser) and then sync in the background would improve things from the user standpoint.

  3. Bitte baut eine Option ein, bei der man nicht nur die Richtigkeit der Karteikarten mit Ja oder Nein beantworten kann, sondern in einer Art Skala (Das klappt sehr gut, weniger gut,…). Dies würde die Wiederholung der Karten verbessern. Oft ist eine Antwort ja nicht komplett falsch, andere dafür schon. Eine Differenzierung gibt es dabei aktuell nicht.

  5. I have prepared content on slides for class that I want to keep hidden and then reveal step by step (re-imported as PDF). The current tape feature is not suitable for this purpose because it adds a shade that looks ugly and is hard to delete. Please either provide a feature that allows parts of a slide to be hidden and shown, ideally in freeform, or shapes with opaque background, or, as a minimal solution, add an option for shade-free tape so that if I set the tape colour to match the background, it becomes invisible.

  6. Currently, the voice recording feature in Goodnotes records audio across the entire document without linking the recording to a specific page. This makes it time-consuming to locate which part of the recording corresponds to which page or note.

    Proposed Improvement:
    Introduce a feature that allows users to record audio directly linked to a specific page, similar to how comments or annotations are added.

    Suggested Functionalities:
    1. On each page, provide a button to start/stop a recording specific to that page.
    2. Once recorded, show a small microphone icon or indicator on that page to signal that a recording exists there.…

  10. Full page typing should be used on Windows aka Goodnotes Web because most windows users are on their PC/laptop. Only allowing full page typing on IOS makes sense for Apple users but what about Windows users

  11. As the title says it’s frustrating that there are limited colours you can choose from and there is no way of customising it, it would really be a goos, aesthetic and useful feature to add

  13. When we take a lot of notes during a long period of time, It can be difficult to find them back. It could be useful to generate "timestamps" along a notebook, such as date creation of a page, or tag with the time of the first note of the day, or a stamp with de date/time you want to tag in a page. The time then could be a criterion for search or when you review all the pages.

  14. Goodnotes has been a great tool to help me mark up and organize pdfs and other files for school, The only thing that I have noticed it missing is a simple grab tool. As in when you're zoomed in on a pdf file, a tool that would allow me to click and drag to change position within the page.

    Similar to the Adobe suite, when you hold space you can click and drag to a different position within the page. Adding this would make make it perfect!

  15. While using the pointer function, I cannot open or close the tape function.
    I would like to be able to turn the tape function on and off even when using the pointer function.
    When giving a lesson, I use the pointer, but I have to switch to the pen tool every time I want to open or close the tape, which is very inconvenient.

  16. I would like to see a feature that allows me to select some or all button to make certain actions with my notebooks or folders. I have the android/web version of goodnotes and I have to click every single document to export, move, or trash.

  17. In GoodNotes 6, whenever I use the text tool with my chosen default font, the app resets back to the system default after pressing Enter. This makes it impossible to work efficiently, especially when using dictation.

    I have already set my default font both in Settings and in the text box style, but GoodNotes keeps ignoring it. I want to use dictation to quickly capture notes directly on the page, but I can’t because the font I applied as “default” doesn’t stick at all.

    This bug kills productivity and ruins the typing experience. Please fix it immediately, or give us…

  18. Goodnotes is too sensitive to very low pressure pen strokes. I find that if I write naturally it adds an ugly flick to the end of my pen strokes as I’m lifting the pen from the page. I would like to configure how much pressure is required to count as drawing, or alternatively Goodnotes could detect and discard low pressure movements at the end of a stroke, after the stylus comes to a halt or changes direction.

  19. I'm genuinely surprised this feature hasn't been implemented yet—or perhaps I’ve missed something. As far as I can tell, there’s currently no way to input math equations directly using the keyboard. This is a significant limitation, especially for Mac users who don't have the option to handwrite equations.

    It would be incredibly useful to have a way to insert math equations inline with text when typing, similar to how tools like Notion or Typora support LaTeX or KaTeX syntax—for example, by wrapping equations in $...$.

    Given that Goodnotes already supports rendering math via handwriting recognition, the logic for equation parsing…
