  1. As a medical student I often take photos of lecture slides from various angles, currently cropping these images results in distorted or skewed perspectives, leaving me with “uncroppable” parts.

    I would love to see a feature similiar to the Notes app in IOS when scanning a document, it would help me make better notes for me.

    Best regars, Josef.

  2. Design a novel user interface (UI) incorporating features and aesthetics reminiscent of the Liquid Glass technology employed in the iPhone. This design concept aims to create a sleek and distinctive visual experience.

  5. The comment pop-up should be resizeable like in Adobe Acrobat.. Also I'd like to be able to add pictures in the comments to make my notes decluttered. And the text should be editable (like in the regular ...bullet points, bold etc)

  8. When you want to adjust the lenght of a Drawn line, a large Blue dot appears. This makes it impossible to Drag the line to the exakt Position you want. A magnifying Glass or a very small dot would be much more helpful here.

  11. Feature Request: Display Thinking and Reference Steps in GoodNotes AI Responses
    When asking questions to GoodNotes AI, I noticed that during the beta version, the AI appeared to show a visible thinking or preparation process while generating answers. However, in the official release, it only displays “Preparing answer…”.

    I would like to request that, similar to the beta version, the AI shows more detailed thinking and reference steps, such as what it is referencing and what it is preparing, during the response generation process.

    Having visibility into the AI’s reasoning and preparation process would improve transparency, trust, and the overall…

  12. I would like to request the addition of tip sharpness, pressure sensitivity, and tip flatness options to the highlighter tool.

    With these features, the shape of the highlighter stroke could change depending on the tilt of the pen tip, and setting the tip flatness to 100% could produce a more angular, chisel-like highlighter shape rather than a rounded one.

    These controls are essential for achieving more precise, realistic, and professional highlighting behavior, and they would significantly enhance the flexibility and usability of the highlighter tool.

  13. I sometimes work with several workbooks in parallel, for example, several projects. I maintain one workbook per project.

    It would be great if there were a task function (task type, task, task description, responsible person, deadline, status, task category, relevance indicator in the central task register) that would converge centrally on a user workstation, regardless of which workbook it is in. This would make work much easier. It would allow to-dos recorded in meetings to be managed more effectively without losing track of the big picture.

    If it were also possible to synchronise by task type (calendar entry, task entry)…

  15. Hi! After the latest GoodNotes 6 update, a small recording bar shows up on the top right when recording audio.
    It’s fixed there, and since I’m right-handed, I keep accidentally touching it while writing — which stops the recording 😭
    It would be great if we could move it or just have a small recording indicator in the main toolbar instead. That would make note-taking while recording so much easier!

    Thanks a lot for listening 💙

  16. Suggested Reply:

    Hello GoodNotes Team,

    Making the toolbar floating and removing the option for a fixed version seriously hurts the user experience. Students like us spend hours taking notes and need focus, but the toolbar constantly moves, sometimes overlaps our work, and it slows us down.

    There’s a simple solution that makes everyone happy:
    • Floating toolbar
    • Fixed (classic) toolbar

    Let users choose what works for them. It’s really that simple.

    Please add a “Classic Toolbar Mode.” This change would make a huge difference for many users.

  17. To be able to create databank of formulas, like a knowledge database of formulas to each subject and also a “mindmap” where you can combine the formulas to see which are connected with each other.
    so when you solve a math problem you can link a already created formula so next time you look at your notes you see what formula was used and if it doesnt exist yet you can add a new formula to the knowledge data base of formulas.
    Also same principle with examples of tasks, like i have a theory on a pdf and then i…

  18. Hello,

    Thank you for your great app.

    I would like to suggest a feature that could improve the user experience.

    Currently, Goodnotes displays documents in a single-page view. It would be very helpful to have an option for a two-page spread (double-page view), similar to reading a physical book.

    Additionally, it would be very useful to view two pages side-by-side or work in a dual-page (split) mode while taking notes.

    This feature would greatly improve studying efficiency and overall usability.

    Thank you for your consideration.

  19. If I adjust the size of the screen immediately right after taking notes, the screen stops instantaneously and is forcibly terminated. These errors occur frequently
