  1. A Support Line would be great you guys don’t offer much customer service. Tickets that no one’s seems to respond to doesn’t help at all. You guys can’t provide an amazing app and then disrespect the people who use it by not supporting then through programming issues and the everyday tech support that everyone NEEDS!

  2. After using a particular font, I like to have a selection and re-use some of my fonts. However, after clicking on the recently used font, nothing happens. I have to search for the font again. Then whey put such a feature of recently used fonts when it is not functioning.

  3. Make the search feature to highlights the words that we’re searching so that it is easy to find some words in a pdf/book, it is a normal function in other apps but it is not included in goodnotes.

    Also make the search feature faster.

  4. I appreciate the opportunity to share my feedback on GoodNotes' handwriting recognition feature. I think it is a great initiative to allow users to contribute their handwriting samples to improve the accuracy of the algorithm.

    However, I also think that there is room for improvement in terms of motivating and rewarding the users for their contributions. I suggest that GoodNotes should implement some kind of reward system or badge system that recognizes the users' efforts and achievements. The rewards could be something simple like some free exclusive stickers. And the badges should indicate the number of contributions made by the…

  5. Many of us use Goodnotes to take notes but are also using to do apps/task management apps (e.g. Todoist, SkedPal) to keep track of our work. We used to be able to take handwritten notes, convert to text, and then run a shortcut that would push it out to todoist; however, that seems to be broken. Any foothold you can provide that would allow for easy integration to a task management app would be amazing - I’d be able to quickly move my todos out of my notes and into my task list and I’d be so productive (…granted I’d…

  6. Every little or big news has always been useful, but I beg you, make it possible to insert long or short notes via pop ups that open and close, to put wherever you want, in the text or in the images, it would be fantastic. A thousand thanks. A student who loves you.

  7. When you often use the Ruler, you may struggle with the Possibility to adjust the angle of the Ruler. It would be a tremendous feature when you hold the button for Angle and it shows you a list for some values(0°,15°,30°,45°,60°,75°,90°) and has the option to add some customs)

  8. A basic word processing format is multiple columns that can hold text. Currently, even though in the paper choice section columns are offered as an option, when using columns, there is no way to actually put text on the adjacent columns. Text will not flow over nor can a simple cursor touch move text flow over to the next column.

  10. Open the same notebook on two different tabs to make switching between views easier. Instead of tapping the edit icon then the hyperlink, only tap the tab at the top.

  11. Be able to see which email you're using!! Trying to sign into goodnotes online, but it's impossible to find which email i'm using on my iPad. Have found many other people with a similar issue online.

  13. Search functionality

    Study-set page copying functionality, so that I can paste it into different sets of study sets for practising random questions from different topics holistically.

    Table insertion using an apple pen to either draw a table or delete a table.

    Ability to switch between handwriting, typed text and inserting photos, without erasing a study set content.

    Multiple-order bullet points functionality that is computer keyboard friendly.

    I prefer to study from a study set, rather than a flashcard template, because it presents the learning material in fairly large size when I study from my iPad screen (usually) or my computer…

  15. Hi, I would be glad if you could add a fuction, which will allow us to summarise and write notes right next to the page. I often upload pdf textbooks or research papers, but there is not enough space next to the text. For example Cambridge Spiral allows you to add a note next to the page you read, so it does not cover the text on the page. I would love that fuction if I could write the notes by hand. I think it will be useful mainly for other students who use Goodnotes to write and highlight in…

  16. There are notifications inside the Goodnotes app which tell you when the app thinks it is time for you to review your study sets. I would like these notifications to trigger push notifications outside of the app, on my iPhone Lock Screen and in the Notification Centre.

  18. Often I find myself needing to copy/paste to change the position of an item so that it is layered properly.

    Apparently, the options to “Sent to Front” and “Send to Back” have ben added, but I don’t see how to use them. This also doesn’t solve the problem fully.

    We need to be able to move by a single layer as well. The additional options to “Move Forward” or “Move Back”, would completely resolve this and the number of other requests for the same thing.

    Ideally, using the lasso tool to select any number of objects including handwriting, or long…

  20. Add the ability to tag your notes with a "ToDo" things that auto populates a list or just lets you find your tags easily so you can put them on a list. Even the reduced functionality would be great.
