  1. 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

  3. 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.

  4. 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!

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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…

  8. 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.

  9. 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…

  11. Estaría genial poder disponer en el histórico de temorizadores con los nombres creados en lugar de temporal 1, temporal 2,...

    Es decir, si se ha creado un modo de temporizador llamado "diseño", el histórico de temporizadores debería mostrar el mismo nombre "diseño" cada vez que se haya utilizado con tiempos totales por modo de temporizador y no ser genérico. Aportaría información del tiempo invertido a cada tarea con estos temporizadores.

    1. Smth
    2. Smth
    3. Smth

    It’s fine until here

    But if you try typing something like this:

    1. Smth
    2. Smth

    Smth is smth because smth
    3, Smth

    .
    .
    .
    It auto enumerates “3.” to “1.”
    Making it like this:

    1. Smth
    2. Smth

    Smth is smth because smth
    1. Smth

    .
    .
    .
    For you to get rid of this you have to copy a space and paste it after the “3.” which is a waste of time

    We need an option to disable auto enumerated lists.

    This also happens if you copy paste a list too, which makes it worse

  12. When I press Enter, the text appears duplicated — it remains in the original position and also shows in the new line. The screen doesn’t refresh automatically, and the duplicate only disappears once I click outside the text box (see example in the image below).

    This is not a suggestion but a recurring error I often experience. I couldn’t find a dedicated place to report bugs, so I’m sharing it here in case it can be fixed.

  14. Ideally, GoodNotes could include pre-made, fully customizable habit tracker templates. Users could drag and drop daily, weekly, or monthly grids into their notebooks, choose colors, add icons, and link them to notes or calendar pages. This would make tracking habits, goals, or routines much easier without having to design the layout manually every time.

  15. It would be nice to be able to insert space into PDFs to add blank space to edit like OneNote does.

  16. Please bring back Community Notes!! It was one of the most meaningful parts of using Goodnotes. I relied on it every day while learning Korean and Mandarin. Seeing how other learners structured their notes, practiced grammar, and organized vocabulary didn’t just help me study. It gave me motivation, community, and the feeling that I wasn’t learning alone.

    Community Notes turned Goodnotes from just an app into a shared classroom across the world. Without it, something feels missing. Bringing it back would mean restoring that bridge of inspiration and connection that so many of us truly valued.

  18. The Good Note UI is designated blue by default, and I want to change the UI with various colors. I hope they add theme features like this.
