  1. While recording audio, GoodNotes should periodically autosave and start a new recording, e.g. once per hour. This would break the recording into hourlong chunks. This functionality is available in Notability, for example.

    Use case: if the user forgets to turn off recording, it’s easier to delete unnecessary recordings later by looking at the timestamp.

  2. Audio recordings should restore themselves after a crash, app restart, etc. Competitors such as Notability already have this functionality.

  3. Hoping Study Flash card will have some features to include audio recording function to capture spoken words to help reviewing the spelling cards .

    Currently, the flash cards are merely visual cues.

    1. Recordings should serve as links to the notebook page you wrote them on. If you’re listening to a recording, it should automatically hop to the page you were writing on at that part of the recording
    2. Ability to rename, delete, and split recordings
    3. Ability to adjust speed when listening to a recording

  4. My idea is to enable modeling on a toolbar.
    I noticed about myself and my friends that we don't use a picture sticker in a text box at all. And colors are used a lot.

    Allow the color segregation to be increased at the expense of the space of the images and stickers. And an option to arrange the toolbar in a way that's convenient for me.

  6. Instead of showing just what is inside the folder when you click on view notes in list form, show the previous folders that contains file like in computer and allow to adjust the file icon size with a bar.

  7. It would be nice to have the thicknes presets in a submenu like in one of the previous updates. It doesn‘t has to be standart but to at least the option to have it in a submenu would be nice. Ideally you‘d have up to five thicknes presets in there, so you don’t have to switch the presets thicknes. I have seven colorpresets what is just a little to wide for the space i have in the mainbar, so it would be far more comfortable to have the thicknes adjustment in a submenu so this anoying scroll thing does not…

  8. 1) We can sure update scribble without a text box like we have in apple notes.
    2) Also we can have three different font size presets so we can easily change font size faster. Same should be done in the fonts , like favourite fonts so that we don't have to scroll down

  9. Right now yellow paper, as far as I know, is the only one that has a red margin. It's called legal paper. The other paper colours do not have this. Also make it so there two variants, a wide margin and a narrow margin.

  10. I have an improvement request for the already almost perfect app:

    Problem Description;
    I am a teacher and only teach with goodnotes. The situation often arises in which the students have to complete a task that arises in class themselves. I use this time to create the solution in goodnotes. To do this, I either have to decouple the projector or activate the still image on the projector. An alternative is to open the same document again to continue working in the non-streamed window. To then scroll up the solution in the streamed window. Both are possible and work, but…

  13. As a musician I would love so much to see a tool in Goodnotes which would allow to draw perfect parallel lines for music staves in any length. The optimum would be to be able to select the number of lines drawn, from only one when needed for percussion/pure rhythm notation to five for the regular system and even up to six lines (for guitar tablature). The famous music app ForScore has this feature in pro version which works great, but the general functionality of drawing and colouring in this app is so poor, I feel GoodNotes is light years…

  14. Please add support for automatic backup to pCloud as well as importing easily from pCloud.

    They have a public API that should make this a relatively easy task.

  15. Allow users to login on the website for desktop users to easily sync by logging in and being able to edit from anywhere. Kind of like what Microsoft did.

  17. When you write on a din4 template and scan a paper document that is also din4 the ist going to be bigger than the template I use. It might be slightly but the difference makes the papers seem like a different size and on the side edges it is not fixed anymore. I want The paper just to scroll down but now it moves to the side. To fix it I can zoom full out but then the brightness of the pages won’t fill the howl display. Please make it the same size so it won’t move a side.

  19. Say I am on the eraser tab with the smallest off the 3 erasers pre-selected but I want to erase a large chunk of writing quick, as of now, I have to select the larger eraser, erase the content, then select the smallest eraser again! Wouldn’t it be better if I am on the smallest eraser, I touch and hold any of the other two sizes (with my non-dominant hand obviously) and it temporarily switches to the size I select till I lift my apple pencil up? Since lifting the pencil, it shall go back to the size it was…
