  1. It would be great if the gestures with the pen worked in the enlarged view, in addition to having a few tools in the window that comes out so you don’t have to go all the way up to change the color or the tool.

  2. Linking should be faster to use. It currently too slow to hold onto a link that is generated, it should be a simple click and take me there.

    Linking is to simple. Being able to create links only out of text box is a huge limitation that makes this feature not only clunky but super limited and not competitively viable compared to the FREE alternatives like Obsidian's Excalidraw.

    Links are page based, WHAT if i need to link somewhere specific in a page? They need to link back

    Links to somewhere should also link back. Like if i link to…

  3. I think it would be useful to be able to give a title to the recordings in order to have a tidy and organized section of recordings and not to have always to search between recordings to find what you are looking for. I think giving titles to recordings would make life easier and help during the transcription process

    1. Make the flashcards more like Anki, where it allows you to choose your own spaced repetition based on your ability to recall the cards. Instead of just having right for good and left for bad.
    2. Ability to turn notes into flashcards immediately like RemNote.
    3. Make a feature that shows all the data of how well a flashcard is recalled.

  4. Audio Transcripts—the power to turn any audio recording directly into text within your note! Capture every detail and never worry about gaps in your knowledge. Copy, paste, and search within time-stamped text, so you always have the info you need! Now available with Notability Plus

    Notability has just released this feature to the market and I think it's very important to have this function for students or lectures.

  5. For example, when you are trying to solve a math problem, or when you need a concept or problem solution that you want to know, or when you read this part, it would be nice to add a function like a sticker memo that can be unfolded and folded.

  7. Hello GoodNotes Team,

    I am writing to share some feedback that I believe could significantly enhance the user experience of your application on Windows.

    Customizable Keyboard and Mouse Shortcuts:

    It would be immensely helpful if users were granted the ability to customize their own keyboard and mouse shortcuts. This personalization would allow for a smoother workflow and could cater to the individual preferences and habits of each user.

    Default Cursor Tool:

    I have noticed that the app currently requires users to manually select the cursor or image tool to perform basic actions like selecting elements or moving images. For an…

  12. I use Goodnotes for all of my university note-taking, but do not find the notebooks sufficient for essay/report writing. It would be very useful if it were possible to create a document, rather than a 'notebook', geared more towards typical word-processing, so that I can keep my essays and notes all in one place!

  16. Currently, the lasso tool does not copy or PDFs it only copies,
    self written content on Goodnotes.

    If you could use lasso tool on any kind of import, it would be super easy to dragon and drop and create Study sets.

  17. An option to resize imported PDF pages would help each notebook feel more cohesive, especially for those using vertical scrolling. It would be nice to have a feature that automatically matches the width of each imported page to that of the current template so that all the pages in the document have the same width.

  18. Please make the marker, drawing, rubber, lasso and laser tools accesible for users which use Apple's Assistive Touch (e.g. Joystick, Eyegaze, Headmouse, ...)
    This would be very usefull for many users who need to use Assistive Technologies.

  19. I recently switched from Notability to Goodnotes, I enjoy this app but I found the centering tool to be very helpful on Notability. I like my notes to be as clean as possible so I’d greatly appreciate it if some type of action was to be done for this to happen!
