  2. Hi Goodnotes team,

    I’d love to see native iOS Translate support added to Goodnotes.

    In many iOS apps, when you select a piece of text, the standard context menu includes a Translate option. Tapping it immediately opens Apple’s built-in translation interface and lets you translate the selected text into your preferred language.

    Currently, this option doesn’t seem to be available when selecting text in Goodnotes. It would be extremely useful, especially for people who use Goodnotes for studying, reading, or working with materials in foreign languages.

    It would be great if Goodnotes could support the native iOS Translate action directly…

  3. Dear Goodnotes Product & Support Team,

    First, thank you for continuously pushing the boundaries of digital note-taking. Goodnotes is undeniably the gold standard on personal devices, but there is a massive, untapped frontier waiting for you: Interactive Smartboards in Education and Enterprise.

    Every day, thousands of educators, presenters, and teams use high-end interactive displays like Senses, ViewSonic ViewBoard, and SMART displays. However, the default whiteboard software on these panels pales in comparison to the fluid experience, organizational depth, and ink engine of Goodnotes.

    Bringing an optimized "Goodnotes for Smartboards" edition (or dedicated display mode) to these platforms would completely revolutionize…

  4. Custom Page Names Instead of Only Page Numbers

    I would love to have the option to assign custom names to individual pages, instead of displaying only page numbers.

    Currently, pages can only be identified by their numbers, which makes it difficult to quickly find specific notes in larger notebooks. It would be much more convenient if users could give each page a custom title, such as “Meeting Notes”, “Chapter 3”, “Ideas”, or “To-Do”.

    This feature would make navigation much faster and improve organization, especially for notebooks with many pages. It could work similarly to naming tabs or sections, while still…

  6. Self-Correction/Check Feature: I use the Tape tool for active recall, but I need a way to mark whether I got the answer right or wrong. Please refer to the Wordmasking app and implement a feature to track and review incorrect answers for more efficient studying.

  10. I love the new whiteboard feature, but it seems that it has been built without exporting in mind with the only option to export still being a PDF file. This makes it impossible to export most whiteboards without losing quality, and making large whiteboards unreadable. Similar to Microsoft whiteboard, it would be fantastic if there was the option for a high resolution JPEG image export feature to complement the new update. Thank you!

  11. Personally, I can only really use GoodNotes when it is the only app on my screen, because my normal writing habit for paper is to have the paper at between a 40 and 60 degree angle.

    When I am only writing with GoodNotes, I can turn my whole iPad (which is challenging when traveling on a train but still possible). If I have multiple windows open for references, though, it makes this especially challenging and causes my wrist to hurt very quickly. My husband who is left handed also turns his paper the other way out of habit, and cannot…

  12. 現在、画像の細かい部分に文字や注釈を書き込む際、画面全体を大きく拡大する必要があり、小さい画像の場合は特に書き込みづらく感じています。

    可能であれば、画像をタッチすると画像自体が拡大表示され、その拡大された状態で直接注釈を書き込める機能を追加していただきたいです。

    また、画像に書き込んだ文字や注釈が画像と一体化し、画像を移動・拡大・縮小した際にも、注釈が一緒に追従する仕様になると非常に助かります。

    現在の仕様では、画像に注釈を書き込んだあとに画像を操作すると、注釈が画像とは別のオブジェクトとして扱われ、画像の背面に回ってしまうことがあり、少し使いづらく感じています。

    画像と注釈をまとめて扱えるようになると、資料作成や画像へのメモ書きがより快適になると思います。

    今後のアップデートでご検討いただけますと幸いです。
    よろしくお願いいたします。

  13. Hi everyone and Goodnotes Team,
    As a heavy PDF user who relies on Goodnotes daily for intensive studying and research, I would love to propose a few feature requests that would drastically improve productivity, document organization, and storage management.
    Here are 4 feature ideas I hope the community can upvote and the dev team can consider:
    1. Expandable Sidebars for PDF Annotations
    The Problem: Margin space on standard PDFs is often too restrictive for detailed note-taking.
    The Idea: Allow users to expand a left or right sidebar next to the original PDF page. This dedicated, extra space would let us…

  14. Please enable continuous horizontal scrolling on par with the vertical scrolling that currently exists. This would allow for creating two page spreads in bullet journaling.

  15. I wish GoodNotes had an option to sort files by title in ascending or descending order.
    This feature would be extremely, extremely useful.
    I hope you will consider adding it positively.

  16. Please introduce a theme customization feature in Goodnotes.

    It would be great if users could personalize the app by selecting their own colors or applying themes from a theme store.

    In addition to light and dark mode, please allow customization of the writing UI, menu colors, and background styles as well.

  18. Hi, so I use Goodnotes mainly for math. The way I use it it by downloanding the PDF of a book, read it chapter by chapter and do the exercised on a sticky note inside of the book. The problem is that the sticky note often covers up the exercise (if I have a long exercise) and i have to constantly move the sticky note around when I want to read it again. It would be cool if one could make the stickynote transparent, either permanently or toggle transparent when long holding on the sticky note. Thank you!

  19. I think it would be a great idea if you can lock the page at specific zoom setting. It is very hard to adjust my comfortable zoom size every time I unzoom. Having 'Lock zoom' feature showing speciifc percentage of zoom to show how much you zoomed the page will be very useful.

  20. Feature request:

    Hi GoodNotes team,

    I would like to suggest a feature for better dark mode note-taking.

    When the page background is dark, it would be very helpful if pen colors could automatically reverse or adapt for visibility. For example, black handwriting could appear white on a dark background, while still preserving readability.

    Also, when exporting notes, please allow users to choose whether the handwriting should be exported as black or white. This would be especially useful because notes that look clear on a dark background may become hard to read when exported or printed.

    Suggested options:

    Auto-invert pen color…
