  1. When a page that has a text link to another internal page is duplicated, the link in the new duplicated page does not work. This means that it is futile to create page templates because every time the page is duplicated, all the links need to be updated.
    I understand that page order is the reason stable links are a challenge, but if the reference page to which the link is pointing is above the duplicated page, the order of the reference page has not changed. At least make this functionality possible, with the understanding that if the position of…

  2. Subject: Zapier Integration Request - Automate GoodNotes Workflows

    Hi GoodNotes team,

    I'm a fan of your app and would love to integrate it with Zapier to automate my workflows. Specifically, I'd like to:

    Create new GoodNotes notebooks/documents automatically when triggered by events in other apps (like our job management system)
    Organize notes based on job details (client name, job ID, etc.)
    Optionally export or sync GoodNotes content to cloud storage
    Do you have plans to launch a Zapier integration? If so, when might this be available? If not, is there an API or webhook I could use in the meantime?

  3. When hover option is enabled for Apple Pencil Pro there is some distortion on handwriting. It seems to be a software issue. I haven’t used the hover feature for years because of this. Could it be fixed?

  4. I use this app on my iPad Pro with a Mini-LED screen. I want a completely black screen, not a dark gray one. This will allow my battery to last longer.

  5. As it stands the textbox feature is limited to changing font size, color, format, and style (lists). These are all the necessary functions of a textbox, but as some quality-of-life changes these are some problems I've run into.

    • Equation shortcuts like superscript, subscript, and basic greek lettering not available unless unicode is used to paste them into the textbox (time-consuming).

    -No options for textbox border styles and colors to organize unless manually drawn around them.

    -Autocorrection feature would be especially useful in textboxes that end up with a lot of text. Possible feature you could use the built in AI…

  7. I would like to suggest aligning the grid spacing and the ruler in GoodNotes with common measurement standards.
    In many countries (for example in Europe), squared paper follows a standardized pattern where two squares equal exactly 1 cm. This standard is widely used in schools, universities, and technical work.
    Currently in GoodNotes, however, two squares correspond to about 1.12 cm when measured with the built-in ruler. Because of this mismatch, the ruler becomes difficult to use for precise measurements or technical sketches. Lines drawn using the grid do not correspond correctly to real-world measurements.
    This can be especially inconvenient for…

  8. I would like to share some feedback about a recent change in the app. There used to be a specific typing section for entering the words, and it worked really well. It was much more practical and easier to use.

    Now, with the text boxes, the experience has become a bit more difficult. The text boxes often appear misaligned and don’t work as smoothly as the previous format, which makes the gameplay less comfortable.

    If possible, I would really appreciate it if you could consider bringing back the previous typing format or improving the current system so it becomes more…

  9. Buongiorno, sono uno studente di ingegneria e utilizzo questa app sin dai tempi del liceo. Devo dire che l’apprezzo molto
    ed è quasi completa. Ma ci sono un paio di consigli che vi voglio dare per renderla perfetta almeno per uno studente che studia materie scientifiche.
    1) aggiungete un puntino al centro di cerchi e di ellissi per riuscire a centrarle meglio in grafici ed in generale perché sarebbe molto utile e magari aggiungete la possibilità di creare un cerchio come su solid works partendo dal centro e disegnando solo il raggio. (ne ho parlato con molti utilizzatori e tutti…

  11. My idea would be to add sticky note templates, which are similar to normal page templates (ruled or squared for example). This would make it easier to use sticky notes in a wider range of use-cases. I for example use sticky notes for solving math questions without having to create a new page and stay on the same page. If there were an option to have squared sticky notes one could draw a diagram waaay easier or use a ruled template to write straighter.

  14. I frequently work with many notebooks throughout the day on my iPad using GoodNotes. While the current open notebooks carousel (tabs) at the top of the screen is useful for a few notebooks, it becomes cumbersome and inefficient when managing & switching between numerous notebooks simultaneously.

    I would love to see a pop-out side menu (from the left or right side of the screen) that displays all open notebooks in a vertical list. This would:

    • Provide a clearer overview of all open notebooks at once
    • Enable faster switching between notebooks without lengthy horizontal scrolling
    • Improve productivity for users handling multiple…

  15. hi, i have one suggestion for editing
    when writings and draws with apple pencil are selected by lasso tool, it shows up some editable options. but there're no options to edit the size and color and stroke setting. if i want to change that, i must delete them and rewrite. so i strongly suggest that those features gonna work more effectively.

  16. There used to be loads of hotkeys that would make things so much quicker.

    E.g.,
    - Cmd + +/- when highlighting text would make it larger/smaller
    - Cmd + \ would centre text ([ and ] to align left/right)

    Both of these hotkeys have been removed. Now, when i highlight text and use Cmd + -, it just zooms out. This paired with the terrible toolbar redesign (including the floating toolbar), everything takes so many clicks. These hotkeys have basically become muscle memory and they're slowly getting rid of all of them, won't be surprised if they decide to get…

  17. As a college student who uses audio recordings in lectures to ensure I can write exactly what the professor says, it is frustrating that I cannot scroll up while a live transcript is going. Each time I try to scroll up, it automatically pulls you back down to what is currently being transcribed. I would like to be able to scroll up, it keeps my place, and click a button when you want to resume current transcript.

  18. Dear Goodnotes Team,

    I am a dedicated Goodnotes user and rely heavily on the app for exam preparation and daily study.

    Cross-Platform Viewing

    While I primarily use my iPad for handwriting notes, I often need to review materials on a Windows PC or in a web browser. The ability to seamlessly sync and view iOS Goodnotes content across platforms would be a game-changer.

    Being able to reference notes on a larger monitor while typing or completing practice exams would significantly improve productivity for students and professionals alike.

    Thank you for your continued work on such a valuable tool. I hope…

  19. The timer features are so great, the small size, the set modes and the +1 min button are great.

    It's quite hard to decrease the amount of time however.

    A -1 min button would make it do everything I need it to do to quickly set timers for my classes.

  20. Open Practice should have a timer and auto flip function.
    Scenario:
    You want a quick run through of the material but remain accountable. You start the timer. You get 2 minutes to look at the question and then it flips to the answer. It refreshes your memory without allowing you to skip thinking. Plus its hands free.
