  1. The new ruler function would be more helpful if you could also measure lengths with the ruler. Two boxes on the checkered side do not correspond to 1cm on the ruler. Therefore, the ruler can only be used to draw straight lines and unfortunately not to measure lengths.

  3. It would be great to have a feature where we can customize each pen/highlighter sizes depending on notebook/documents. For example, I use different pen sizes when taking notes but different pen/highlighter sizes for lecture notes since they use different sized documents (letter, A4, B4, etc.) So rather than going back and forth, adjusting sizes, I think it would be better to customize accordingly.

  4. The good notes fountain pen does not write how a fountain pen should. A fountain pen has a metal nib that creates thin cross strokes and wide down strokes. The pen in good notes is the opposite with wide side strokes and thin down strokes. The apple notes fountain pen is perfect in recreating the look of an actual fountain pen. This is the only reason I have to stay with apple notes. The pen interface is the most important for me. Otherwise, I would use good notes.

  5. The study sets are fantastic. In the age of automated assistance, could you please add a feature that reminds you when your next study session is due.

    ie. you’re next study session is Dec. 1, rather than relying on me to add another item on my to-do list, could goodnotes the app remind me, or could send it to iCalendar etc. and include an opt-in toggle when you’ve finished the set session. eg. “Remind me” -toggle-. Might be intuitive to remind you at the time you started or finished the previous session on the newly indicated day.

  6. I think that actually the addition of audios files inside Goodnotes is impossible, and that could be good for the users if this improve exists.

  7. It will be so helpful to insert a blank space at a choose spot. That way, I can just import my problem set as pdf and insert a blank space, it'll save a lot of time to screenshot and copy past to a new page. Please!!!

  9. This feature is used by Notability app. I’ve seen that some of people already mentioned this idea, but they had a really small amount of votes. This tool allows to cover a part of text or a note in order to test yourself. This feature is similar to the “cloze” flashcard in Anki and I think that it would be a perfect solution for students that like to learn from their notes

  10. Hi everyone! I’m looking for tips on how to efficiently organize my notes in GoodNotes. What are your best strategies for managing multiple notebooks and keeping track of assignments or class materials? Any advice on using tags or color-coding effectively would be great too!

  11. At the end of each stroke, there is some motion smoothing mechanism in place, which creates unwanted curves. It would be great if we could get more control over the motion smoothing feature, like increasing it's intensity, or turning it on and off whenever required.

  12. In the pages tab can we select multiple pages and then choose “paste into” to then paste the clipboard contents into all selected pages in the same place as the item was copied from. Eg boxes, shapes, text for tabs etc

    I know we can paste pages but paste INTO pages would be amazing.

  13. Similarly to hearts, stars, and arrows, they should be recognized as distinct shapes, not merely geometric shapes.
    This principle applies to Apple Notes as well.

  14. Like previously can select the tasks then try to tracking their progress in a day so I can know what I achieved in the end of the day and while I’m on a task my other apps should be locked by good notes and can add expectations for important apps during different tasks

  16. The typing experience in general needs to be better, it needs to be closer to Word. We have to be able to choose the size of the fonts, the margins of the page, the interline space, etc…
    The pointed list need to be better, now it can’t change the number if we want to and it starts back to 1.
    If we’re able to better the typing feature to be more consistent and interchangeable with the pen writing, it would be an almost perfect app. As in now I need to switch to Word for some important features that I…

  17. Dear GoodNotes Support Team,

    I downloaded GoodNotes for Windows on my Microsoft device, signed in using my Apple ID, and purchased a Premium Upgrade to create multiple folders and documents.
    Recently, I purchased an iPad and downloaded GoodNotes on it. I signed in with the same Apple ID and successfully synchronized my documents.
    However, my Premium Upgrade was not synchronized, so l am unable to create folders or write on my iPad.
    Could you please help me by manually synchronizing my Premium Upgrade so that it is available on my iPad?
    Thank you for your assistance. Please let me know…

  20. When text reaches the bottom of the page, it should automatically go on the next page. Also, when adding text to the previous page, text should automatically readjust on the following pages (just like it does on Word).
