  1. Feature Request:

    Dear Developers,

    I would like to request a built-in image quality enhancement feature for the note-taking app. Imported images often become blurry due to screenshotting or file transfer issues, which affects the reading and viewing experience in notes.

    This feature could include (but not be limited to) AI super-resolution technology—capable of sharpening blurry details, reducing pixelation, and improving overall clarity of imported images. It would greatly enhance the usability of the app when managing image-containing notes, especially for users who frequently add screenshots or transferred images.

    Thank you for considering this request!

  2. Notion like document editor. On which I can annotate with pencil. Code format text, colored text, checkbox, toggle and much more like in notion. The current text editor is too rigid. It must be made a bit more user friendly.

  3. Notability allows you to drag and drop PowerPoints. To use Goodnotes, I have to open the PowerPoint, export it as a PDF (you must be a Microsoft 365 subscriber to do this), and then import it to Goodnotes. Since all my lectures are PowerPoints, I uses Notability solely because I don't have to open ~15 PowerPoints to export them as PDFs every week.

  4. I use goodnotes without an external keyboard and I found extremely useful the left/right arrow keys to move the cursor when typing because many times it is not easy to place the cursor exactly in the desired position.

    Can you bring them back?

  6. Add a way for users to add new packages to the preambles of the LaTeX used for the AI, sometimes we just want to use a new symbol and can’t make it because the math mode won’t recognize it. It would be really helpful.

  8. As a beta user, I surprisingly find that text mode is available for markdown format. However, when trying to copy what I wrote to other program like obsidian etc, everything ruined. This is a disaster for user who use different software in different platforms!!!!

  9. I would like to see the ability to add a callout to a notebook page. This would be a small colored block on which text could be written or typed with an arrow or other indicator to a point on the page. This would be similar to a GN post-it note, but it would have an arrow associated with it. My thought is that it would be useful for the callout to be low opacity until it is touched, at which time it would have 100% opacity so it can be read, and then when touched again would return to…

  10. I love the app and use it daily across iPad + Windows. But I’m hitting the same wall every single session: there’s no way to save separate, named pen color palettes for different contexts.

    My workflow swings between:

    White backgrounds (lecture slides, lab reports) → darker inks

    Black backgrounds (my own notes) → lighter/pastel inks

    Right now I’m forced to maintain one long presets strip and manually hunt/eyedropper colors each time. It’s slow, error-prone, and breaks focus. After months of this, it’s honestly pretty frustrating because color is a core UX primitive in note-taking.

    What I’m asking for (minimum viable…

  11. When I “long press” (problem just occurs whilst journaling) three options pop up “zoom, add link, add comment”. I have long press disable everywhere I can on my end.

  12. every time I export my document to a PDF the options are restored to their default values. I should be able to choose these defaults, or at the very least remember my preferences. For example, every time I export I have to deactivate "Enable Handwriting Recognition". One time should be enough!

  13. Firstly, kudos to the team for introducing markdown documents!

    What I need to use it actively:

    1. Support for markdown documents on Goodnotes web (Critical)!

    Reason: I use Goodnotes at work for my personal notes as well. However, I can't download the goodnotes windows app on my work laptop. I also use a windows pc and I can't get the markdown feature there.

    1. Ability to add markdown documents inside Goodnotes notebooks (Important)

  14. Being an engineering professional this apps is not very conversant in taking Engg notes. It is requested to incorporate following.
    1. Either allow to paste tables from excel sheets which should be editable or develop a tool to create table easily.
    2. Allow to embed word file into Goodnotes. Also allow subscripts and superscripts like that in word.
    3. Develop or create symbols to insert scientific, maths, geometry, Greek small
    & capital.
    4. Also insert function .
    5. Most important while writing maths formulae it should be very easy and smooth. At present most of the time Goodnotes do not…

  15. Bilder horizontal oder vertikal ausgerichtet anordnen, so dass man auch einfach die gleiche Größe wählen kann.
    Leider fehlt nach dem Update die Möglichkeit, die Hintergrundmaterial von Textfeldern individuell zu wählen.
    Und mehrere Bilder aus einem Ordner auf einmal einfügen.

  16. Hi there!

    I absolutely love Goodnotes and the direction of BETA. However, during my experimentation, I discovered a limitation compared to Miro. For the record, I believe Goodnotes’ writing experience is significantly better than Miro’s. Nevertheless, I need connectors that function 2-way in relation to handwritten items. (SEE VIDEO)

    https://share.zight.com/Apud8dAe

    As you can see in the video, once I connect handwritten items in Goodnotes, both ends of the connectors don’t move in sync, as Miro’s connectors do. This limitation is a critical one in my note-taking and mind mapping process. I do see this works fine with shapes, but not…

  17. Hi GoodNotes team,
    I love using your flashcard feature to study for the MCAT, but I’d really appreciate an option to mark flashcards as completed and continue reviewing where I left off.

    Right now, if I accidentally exit mid-review, I have to restart the entire deck, even if I’ve already gone through 50+ cards. This makes it harder to stay focused and finish large study sets.

    Thank you for all the improvements you’ve made—this one would be a game changer!

  18. When creating documents, I have wanted to include a picture behind my words without obstructing them. I’ve also wanted to flip the picture for a cleaner look. These are 2 features I often use in Canva and forget I don’t have the ability in Goodnotes. I love this program and enjoy the ability it provides to be creative!

  19. I recently purchased a large template pack (70+ templates) from the GoodNotes Marketplace and noticed that I had to manually select and import each one individually. It would be incredibly helpful if there were an option to automatically import all templates from a purchased pack in one tap.

    This would save a lot of time for users, especially when dealing with large bundles, and create a smoother experience right after purchase.

    Thanks for all the great work on GoodNotes!

  20. since you don't have the option to have main text go into the left hand column of the cornell notes, I have no option but to use the text box option. so when I am trying to copy and paste my 80 key words into the document I have to waste 2 hours manually breaking them up and putting them into each page since the text boxes don't just automatically carry over. completely ridiculous and suchhhhhhh a waste of time its driving me up the wall. or at least jus have the option for the main texting mode to work…
