  1. Currently, when jumping to a different page, the “Return to Previous Page” button disappears after scrolling about half a page forward.

    Often, when studying, I follow references in the text by using Goodnotes’ internal links to jump to a previous page. However, if the referenced content spans multiple pages, I need to read through those pages before returning. By the time I finish reading and attempt to go back, the “Return to Previous Page” button has already disappeared, making navigation inconvenient.

    Alternatively, a different approach, like Kindle’s system of keeping multiple jump history records, would be even…

  2. Currently, when adding a link, the input field is pre-filled with an actual URL instead of a placeholder.
    This requires manually deleting the existing text before entering a new link, which is inconvenient.

    I would like the input field to display a placeholder instead of an actual URL by default. This would improve usability and streamline the process of adding links.

  3. Being able to adjust the pen opacity so you get multiple shades of one color without lifting the pen and can see overlap. This really helps make notes look more realistic and aesthetically pleasing. I use max opacity on procreate and it’s perfect.

  4. A scrollable, infinite page (like in Word or Google Docs) would make typing much smoother and more practical for longer notes.

  5. I’ve been using GoodNotes 6 on my iPad Air 11-inch M2 with iPadOS 18.3.2 and while I love the app’s handwriting tools and organization, there’s one feature missing that I’ve found incredibly useful in both Microsoft OneNote and Apple Notes: auto-scrolling pages. Right now, when I’m writing in GoodNotes, I have to manually drag the page to move to the next section or page, which feels clunky and interrupts my flow—especially during long note-taking sessions like lectures or brainstorming.

    In both OneNote and Apple Notes, the page automatically scrolls as I write near the edge, seamlessly expanding the canvas or…

  8. How accurate is GoodNotes' handwriting recognition feature for searching through your notes?

    Factors Affecting Accuracy: Handwriting recognition accuracy in GoodNotes varies depending on factors like handwriting style, the clarity of the pen strokes, and the language used. If a user has very neat, uniform handwriting, the recognition will generally be more accurate. However, for more stylized or inconsistent handwriting, accuracy may decrease. For example, cursive writing might be harder to decipher compared to block letters.

  10. Add the ability to create internal links to a specified bookmark rather than just a page number. So that if I add pages in the middle, all my bookmarks don't break.

    Right now if I add pages in the middle all my links change to "deleted page" and I have to rebuild them on every single page.

  12. A button that scrolls back to the first page automatically. This would make for a very smooth experience. Could be implemented like a floating button, similar to the one in the Reddit phone app.

  16. Ich hätte sehr gerne die Möglichkeit, nicht nur pauschal EINE Formatvorlage festzulegen, die direkt in einem neuen Dokument erstellt wird, sondern die Vorlage je Ordner festlegen zu können. Ich benutze Goodnotes für die Schule und habe für jedes Schulfach einen einzelnen Ordner. In den eher text-lastigen Fächern (quasi alle außer Naturwissenschaften) tippe ich mit Tastatur und „Blankopapier-Vorlage“, und in Mathe, Physik etc. schreibe ich mit Apple Pencil auf der karrierten Vorlage. Ich fände es daher sehr nützlich, wenn ich für meine Ordner in deutsch, Englisch, Politik usw. als Format-Vorlage eine schlichte weiße Seite und für Mathe, Physik etc. eine karrierte…

  17. The search tab is really helpful but sometimes it’s hard to see the highlighted word I am looking for. Adding the ability to change this color to something brighter would be very helpful!

  18. Hallo, ich finde die neue Möglichkteit mit den Leensets echt super. Allerdings hätte ich gerne die Möglichkeit diese zu markieren. Z.B. in einem Ampelachema: rot: noch schwer, gelb: in Ordnung, Grün: leicht. Oder zumindest dass man bestimmte Karten auch wie in normalen Dokumenten mit roten „Einmerkern“ versehen kann. Außerdem wäre so etwas wie eine Gliederung auch sinnvoll.

  19. Currently, when I try to add a text box on top of an image, Goodnotes enters image edit mode instead of letting me type. This forces me to type elsewhere and drag the text into place, which is very frustrating and inefficient — especially when editing things like sheet music or diagrams.

    Please add the ability to place and type text directly on images without switching to image edit mode. This would greatly improve the workflow for many users.

  20. When I am working Splitscreen on my IPad I always have to first press the button for the style of the pen to change the colour or size of the line.
    When I am working in full screen, Good Notes shows me my selected favourite colours and line sizes as part of the bar directly able to select.

    There is enough space to enable this function in Split Screen View. It makes work more efficient and fast.

    Thank you so much.

    I have added a picture of the space, where the favourite colours should be added.
