  1. When reading a lot of texts, sometimes it is easier to switch to the option to let the text be read to be. The voice used by GoodNotes though is really really bad making it hard to focus on what is actually said.
    Instead it would be great if you could add the option to let Siri read the text since it sounds rather natural in contrast to the GoodNotes voice.

    Please!

  2. Die linealfunktion hat mich sehr gefreut, da man im matheunterricht immer wieder Winkel messen muss etc. Dennoch hab ich festgestellt, dass das Maßstab des Lineals mit keinem papierformat übereinstimmt, weder mit goodnotes Standard, noch mit dinA4. Mein Wunsch wäre es, das Lineal so anzupassen, dass 2 Kästchen auf dem a4 Blatt auch einem cm auf dem Lineal entsprechen

  3. There is no way to see just the notes, comments, or annotations made within a documents. Other apps like PDF Expert and Notability do this, making it easy to go through whatever pages have notes written in them or annotations or comments.

    A nice bonus would be to also make comments searchable.

  4. Be able to set the spacing of grid lines (8 squares per inch, 5 squares per inch, etc) to allow for “roughly” scaled drawing

  6. Use GoodNotes as a Tool to directly make notes on pdfs.
    Safe them to the Apple Folders without opening them in Goodnotes itself.

  8. Using OpenAI's Whisper model which is open sourced, Goodnotes can enhance the audio recordings done on the iPad and also feed them through OpenAI's Whisper model for on-device audio transcriptions.

    This will maintain user privacy and provide unlimited transcriptions at the expense of battery life but it would be well worth it to click transcribe and have a textview in a window to the right that is synced to the time. Notability has done this and it looks fantastic.

  9. Ability to read/speak pdfs, notes, etc. similar to other text-to-speech apps (with non-robotic voices). As a college student that takes in auditory information better than reading myself it would be very handy to be able to have papers i upload into goodnotes be read.

  10. On travaille beaucoup avec des formes géométriques, et avoir par exemple le centre du cercle, carrée, etc.., des flèches ou angles, serait bien.

    Les dossiers ne peuvent pas être ranger comme on le souhaite, c’est dommage.

  11. One of the major issues in relation to using a digital file, compared to a traditional paper file is that in a paper file you can attach "post-its" to relevant pages which you can then refer to when you are using that file. This is an essential tool for lawyers, for example. So that, if you are referring to a bundle of files, you can have them in front of you where you can see the protruding tabs and refer to them immediately. The visualisation of the tabs – allows for easy access to the relevant page.

    Whilst good notes…

  12. I use Goodnotes 6 for medical school as my only notes taking application. often I will write up notes which I come back to add to it but don't have space. It would be nice if I could add handwritten links to other places within the document or "sticky notes" that I could stick on the sides of the documents (Black/blank space of the page). Save me spending ages having to rearrange everything. Thank you

  15. Hi as a good note user, i have using it to learn more languages, me personally in my region of country does not provide specific language. So i learn language from different language for example i learn German from English Speaker Tutor. It would be helpfull if good notes 6 can detect 2 language recognition (or more)

  16. I would like to have more than just three slots for pen thickness. This suggestion is even more relevant after releasing dotted a dashed line feature.

  17. most importantly, it should be possible to export the flashcards to a pdf for two reasons:
    1. So it is possible to search for certain words (so you can see if you already have that flashcard)
    2. So it is possible to print the flashcards!

  18. I use Samsung S23 ultra and there is no goodnote available on such small device. When do you plan to launch it for smartphone with pen? I have it on my Samsung tablet and desktop win app and I m very confused that I cannot use goodnote on my smartphone too.

  19. Could Goodnotes possibly incorporate the ability to add chart interactions? For example, for individuals who keep extensive logs or check lists, having the ability to select a check mark or fill in an incremental bar that could impact a graph, table, or value would allow for more seamless tracking abilities.

  20. Im not sure why it shows the recent fonts if you have to go look for them manually anyway but it would be nice to just be able to tap on the listed recent fonts and have them be applied from there.
