  1. I have been using Goodnotes for several years as my main teaching tool. I regularly project my iPad screen for several hours in class and work live on the material. With Goodnotes 6 this worked reliably. The page was consistently sharp, even while editing.

    Since version 7.0.0 this has clearly changed. I am currently on version 7.0.46 and the issue is still there.

    What I observe is the following. Images that are not selected become visibly blurry. As soon as I select an image, it immediately turns sharp again. Text behaves in the opposite way. While I am typing in…

  2. Please consider adding an option to switch between a fixed and floating toolbar. The floating toolbar is distracting during long study sessions and slows down workflow. A fixed toolbar was much more efficient and comfortable to use. Having both options would greatly improve the user experience.

  3. currently with the new update, when you import a document to goodnotes, an annoying thing with the new update when you press
    location-> it automatically opens the keyboard to let you search for a folder or document you want to import your document to, but it’s really annoying as if you are on an ipad, using the large keyboard, it blocks half the folders. Of course you can get rid of the keyboard and click on the folder but it is slow and takes up a lot of time when you want to import multiple separate documents quickly from a…

  4. please update study sets
    i use it a lot for studying but it’s so difficult to use, for example:

    • currently you cannot press the apple pencil barrel to automatically turn to eraser (!!!!)
    • when zooming into top left corner, you cannot write because the undo button blocks it
    • add template options - currently it’s only a blank card, it would be better if there were lines to write on (!!!!)
    • allow copy and pasting individual flashcards
    • study sets are so laggy and most of the time when i make a new flashcards and write on it, it does not show…

  5. Enable spellcheck in the Text Docs feature of Goodnotes. It would be useful to have the same spellcheck feature in the Text Docs feature as is seen in the Notebook function. As the Text Docs are used primarily for typing it would be good to have a spellcheck functionality.

  6. As a medical student I often take photos of lecture slides from various angles, currently cropping these images results in distorted or skewed perspectives, leaving me with “uncroppable” parts.

    I would love to see a feature similiar to the Notes app in IOS when scanning a document, it would help me make better notes for me.

    Best regars, Josef.

  7. There is no feature of changing page templates all together,we have to change separately,this is annoying.Another thing is that pdf quality can't be determined,if there will be option for changing quality of extracted pdf, it will be more good,
    And please add a calculator in the app.During extraction of pdf,page range should be added.

    Also there is problem in recording procedure,once open a record,it becomes minimized,can’t take full screen again.Again once I tap on one of my annotation and select play recording,there is no slide bar appears and can’t close,pause etc which is annoying.please fix these problems

  9. The comment pop-up should be resizeable like in Adobe Acrobat.. Also I'd like to be able to add pictures in the comments to make my notes decluttered. And the text should be editable (like in the regular ...bullet points, bold etc)

  12. Palm rejection often fails. If you are annotating with a pen over a text box it constantly selects the text box (Sometime while I'm writing a word!). There used to be a setting where you could prevent different objects from being selected unless that specific tool was being use (i.e. you could only select a text box when you were using the text box tool)

  15. Suggested Reply:

    Hello GoodNotes Team,

    Making the toolbar floating and removing the option for a fixed version seriously hurts the user experience. Students like us spend hours taking notes and need focus, but the toolbar constantly moves, sometimes overlaps our work, and it slows us down.

    There’s a simple solution that makes everyone happy:
    • Floating toolbar
    • Fixed (classic) toolbar

    Let users choose what works for them. It’s really that simple.

    Please add a “Classic Toolbar Mode.” This change would make a huge difference for many users.

  16. To be able to create databank of formulas, like a knowledge database of formulas to each subject and also a “mindmap” where you can combine the formulas to see which are connected with each other.
    so when you solve a math problem you can link a already created formula so next time you look at your notes you see what formula was used and if it doesnt exist yet you can add a new formula to the knowledge data base of formulas.
    Also same principle with examples of tasks, like i have a theory on a pdf and then i…

  17. Hello,

    Thank you for your great app.

    I would like to suggest a feature that could improve the user experience.

    Currently, Goodnotes displays documents in a single-page view. It would be very helpful to have an option for a two-page spread (double-page view), similar to reading a physical book.

    Additionally, it would be very useful to view two pages side-by-side or work in a dual-page (split) mode while taking notes.

    This feature would greatly improve studying efficiency and overall usability.

    Thank you for your consideration.

  18. If I adjust the size of the screen immediately right after taking notes, the screen stops instantaneously and is forcibly terminated. These errors occur frequently

  19. I’m currently using an Apple Pencil tip that’s optimized for 0.38, so I usually set it to that thickness. However, the available options are only 0.3, 0.35, and 0.4, which feels a bit limiting. It would be great if we could set more precise values like 0.38 or even 0.28 for finer control!

  20. I know that using "editable" PDF export, the outline is appended. But this type of export is absolutely huge and provides no use for someone to whom I just want to send my notes. It would be much appreciated to be able to export "flattened" PDF with outline.
