  1. Not every notebook is the same, being able to save font styles and sizes per notebook would be infinitely easier and would encourage people to buy different notebooks

  2. I love the new feature that highlights notes along with an audio recording, but I think it would be even more useful if it worked the opposite way as well. I mean if there was a way you could select your notes and have the audio jump to the section of the audio clip that corresponds to those notes. If this is not possible, maybe adding something that serves as a marker so that you can tell which audio clips correspond to which pages in your notebook.

  3. What I need:
    • A blank “integrated notebook” shell we can start with
    • The ability to import my own PDF page or planner template
    • Fully working jump-links — which I already handle myself
    • Access to your under-the-hood integrations: date logic, calendar hookups, auto-navigation, to-dos, etc.
    • No fluff—no dated layouts, stickers, or templated design—just raw power and flexibility.

  4. In structures, you can choose wheter you want to see the PDF-structuring.
    Please save this decision, so you dont have to select it every time you open the document and want to look into your own structuring.
    (It is very annoying, please fix that)

  5. I want to be able to quickly take screenshots of portions of my lecture slides, copy them, and paste them elsewhere. Currently, the screenshot function takes 4 clicks: Lasso->screenshot->share->copy. It would be a lot easier if there was a way to Lasso a portion of the slide I want copied, and in one click copy ALL the contents of the lasso -- INCLUDING the slide itself, NOT JUST DRAWINGS/IMAGES/ETC.

  6. Einen Taschenrechner der automatisch das Ergebnis ausgibt wenn man ein = schreibt. So wie bei dem Apple Taschenrechner auf dem iPad der es in der eigenen Handschrift schreibt. Ich und meine Klasse in der uni würden das sehr feiern

  7. Currently, you have to use the lasso tool to highlight handwritten text, then click convert, then several more prompts. In Nebo, you merely have to double click. A quicker option (such as a double click) would make the process quicker and simpler (can retain current process).

  8. Wouldn't it make more sense if the undo button was on the top right instead of the left? As a right-handed person, clicking on the undo button covers the whole screen and you can't see exactly what has already been removed. Its just annoying (goodnotes 6)

  9. You can not delete the duplication until restart of the app. Then the old picture/text etc. disappears and only appears at the intended place. It‘s really annoying. Also if you zoom in to write sometimes parts of the strokes or dots disappear. You have to either overwrite it to fix it or erase/undo and write again.

  10. Instead of having a limited number of colors on the color pallet and having to scroll to see all the colors.
    Have an option to only show top 5 colors with a drop down arrow beside it to see all other colors in our color pallet. That way, we can still see and have easy/ fast access to our stroke settings , as well as our pens colors instead of having to scroll back and forth.
    Just like how the hidden tools arrow is. A drop down like that for the color pallet

  12. I wished I could insert equations into my flashcards in the text part. Just like how I would insert an equation in LaTeX... Since GoodNotes allows to convert handwritten text to LaTeX equations, it would be nice to insert the LaTeX code directly into the flashcard for studying formulae.

  13. One thing I would love to see, since text documents are now way better than before, is a better support for academic papers. It at least looks like it doesn't support a table of contents, sources and a few more. Microsoft Office is now no longer free here in Germany for new and old students due to the government's decision to no longer use Office and I believe this is now I big opportunity to help us. I guess this is also pretty cool for every other students ww to have everything in one place.

  15. I have a suggestion that I think would make it even more useful for reading and taking notes. When I read a PDF document, I often come across references or links that take me to other pages within the document. This is especially useful when the text contains a reference number or symbol that I need to look up to fully understand the content.

    However, one thing that can be frustrating is when I follow a link to a new page and then want to return to the page I was reading before. In order to do this, I have…

  16. Can you add a page continuity feature in your notes? Sometimes it can be very inconvenient to use your single page design. I hope you can add a page continuity feature in your page management, whether it's taking notes or viewing PDF files

  17. Currently, it’s not possible to write on both the question and answer sheets at the same time when the tablet is in vertical mode. This means I have to switch between them, by clicking the “Edit” button, which makes it hard to see and edit both simultaneously. If we could keep both sheets open and editable at the same time, it would be much easier to compare and modify them quickly.

  18. As a mathematics teacher and a regular user of GoodNotes 6, I greatly appreciate how the app supports digital teaching and note-taking. However, during my daily use—especially in teaching complex concepts—I found that a few additional features would significantly improve the experience, particularly for educators like me:
    1. Merge and Split Strokes: This would allow us to combine or separate drawn elements easily—very helpful when organizing mathematical constructions or diagrams.
    2. Edit Stroke Properties After Drawing: It would be beneficial to tap on a stroke and adjust its style (e.g., dashed, dotted, solid) or thickness, which is essential when emphasizing…

  19. DENTISTS ARE DOCTORS TOO :( I love all the notebooks, flashcards, mind maps, etc. for all other health professions, but I'm in dental school and have been constantly checking to see if anything dental-related gets added and it never does. I'd love to have some stickers, notebooks, flashcards, mind maps, treatment planning templates or ANYTHING for dentists. So many of my classmates use Goodnotes too so I know these things would be popular. Please consider adding! :)

  20. I play guitar and I want an autoplay feature for the flashcards. You see the term, I play the chord, and then it flips so I can see if the hand placement is correct. The flashcards already shuffle so I can practice the chords at random but this way I can practice hands free. It would also help those who want to hear phrases in the background for language learning if there was an audio function.
