  1. I use the learning sets regularly and it's super quick. However, I noticed a few points that make it a bit complicated to use.
    I would therefore like to give you some suggestions for improvement:
    1. Mark cards: A function to mark certain cards that would be very helpful to find them more quickly (like with QuickNotes)
    2. Search function within the flashcards: It would be really nice if you could search for specific words within the learning sets, like with the documents. With learning sets with over 100 cards and the small preview, it is almost impossible to quickly…

  2. When sharing notes with other users, I want to set the permissions so that only the owner who created the note can write/edit it. Users with whom the note is shared should only have view-only access.

  4. I’d like the option to add reminders by date and time to my notebook. It’s great to have all my work notes in a digital notepad but the option to add a reminder would enhance the organizational aspect of the product

  7. I don’t have an apple pencil and I’m having a big struggle to write on Goodnotes. I’ve seen other costumers complaining about the incompatibility of the app with other pencils.

  8. 텍스트상자를 쓰다 보면 줄 간격이 조금 더 좁기를 원해서 줄 간격을 줄이면 위에 글자가 텍스트 상자에 잘려 반이 사라지는 현상이 있는데 줄 간격에 따라 텍스트 상자도 그 상태에 맞도록 바뀌었으면 좋겠습니다!

  10. I’ve been a dedicated GoodNotes user since early 2021, having chosen it over Notability after extensive research. It was a near-perfect note-taking app for me, and the one-time purchase model made it even more appealing. Over the years, I’ve adjusted to its shortcomings because, overall, the experience was solid.

    However, in mid-2024, as I began my MBA, the necessity of recording lectures became undeniable. But to my absolute frustration, GoodNotes makes this process far from discreet. The recording indicator is blatantly visible—a glaring orange timer that continuously updates, drawing unnecessary attention. Every time I record, people notice and start asking…

  11. 🎀 Adding a widget feature on the home screen (Documents) and in any section is better, to make it customized through individuals' perspectives. For more clarity, this includes different sizes of widgets, photo widget (from Pinterest, notion, or even from the device itself), customizes to-do list (customized shape (framed and unframed), colour, wallpaper, and bullet point), clock widget and etc.
    🎀 Moreover, customized wallpaper (colour, fancy frame, etc.) will improve the user's comfort, space, and creativity. It will help the users find their pace to suitable mood, zone, and comfortability.

  12. On iOS, there is an API to do so UIViewController/prefersHomeIndicatorAutoHidden.

    Hiding the home indicator can maximum the app space that can be used, as well as prevent users from leaving the app accidentally.

  15. Please add the option to be able to scroll past the margin. Right now, it is very inconvenient to write at the bottom / right side of the page, since your hand is on the edge of the iPad. Let us move the page up past its border for easier writing

  17. It would be really helpful to have a scrollbar that makes it quicker to scroll through long documents or notebooks. A simple, draggable bar would make navigation much more efficient.

  18. 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.

  19. 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.

  20. 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…
