  1. I mainly use the new Text Doc template and type up the majority of my notes. I'd like an easy way to add handwriting to the text document.

    Also, I've noticed that it is very hard to add a phone to a Text Doc template.

  2. Create a PM/To Do Management template that has the ability to create custom fields with dropdown lists.

    For Example:

    Auto Date Created

    PM/To Do Name - Conduct Ongoing Training

    Assigned To <Multi Picklist & Drop Down Options of names we created in settings) - It would also be great to be able to assign this to people in a MS Exchange Server or Slack Server (we use both)

    Note: We need to identify training refresher topics.

    Due Date: Optional field that can integrate back to MS Exchange Calendar, Outlook 365 calendar, Thunderbird calendar, and Google.

    Status: Dropdown of predefined fields…

  3. I've had to move to OneNote (which I am not fond of) because I am the only one using a Mac. I wanted to create an Agenda where I could tag people to assign them to tasks. However, I was not able to get the sharing/collaboration to work because all the other team members are using Windows. I need to be able to share from Mac to Windows and Windows to Mac while allowing live collaboration where we can all make edits and share updates.

  4. 我是一名中国用户,我希望增加一个手写字美化功能,美化成特定类似手写字体。因为中国人的写字差异会非常大。我们有些自己写的字能读得懂,如果展示给其他人看,或者保存下来可能会有比较大的困难,对于写字难看的人。所以希望加入字体实时美化的功能。现在一些中国app已经有这样的功能,希望贵公司的可以跟进。I am a user from China, and I would like to suggest adding a handwriting beautification feature that can transform handwriting into a specific, aesthetically pleasing handwritten font. There is a vast disparity in how different Chinese people write. For those with poor handwriting, their original script might be legible to themselves but difficult for others to read or problematic to save for future reference. Therefore, I hope to see a real-time handwriting beautification feature. Some Chinese apps have already implemented this, and I hope your company can follow suit.

  5. When using the Squeeze feature on Apple Pencil Pro, adding a feature that lets you “scroll” through your saved preset colors the same way we can scroll through the tools would be useful, instead of only having access to the first 3 colors.

  6. It would be great if you can edit imported pdfs directly in the app. Ex. if professors have mistake on slides it would be nice to be able to erase it rather than just scribbling on it, which just makes it look messy and takes up space on page unnecessarily

  7. Why did you remove this in favor of zooming. I want to be able to change the Paragraph Style (Heading 1, Heading 2... Body, Caption) using the keyboard. This is an important feature for taking notes using the keyboard, while not constantly tapping around on screen.

  8. When I use the tape over photos in my notes, the photo always gets selected instead of the tape when I try to edit. Or when I'm using the tape as flash cards to cover information, I can never tap the tape properly because the photo is automatically selected first. I think when you choose to "lock photo", it should also mean that the photo isnt selected when u tap over it when people are trying to write or use tape or other tools over the photo.

  9. Option to add audiobook in goodnotes.

  11. If you want to open two pages of the same document using presentation mode (but only one page is to be projected), the new procedure is very cumbersome. I would like to see the old function returned: you open the page overview and simply drag the desired page to the other side of the screen. This would save time in class.

  12. Please add a public API and developer resources so files can be automatically imported and organized into folders by class, week, and lecture. Better automation support would make Goodnotes much more powerful for students and developers building academic workflows.

  13. Please add optional UI customization for the iPad app, especially toolbar color and contrast controls. I would like a cleaner, less harsh toolbar and the ability to adjust visual emphasis, button size, and layout so the app feels more usable without changing the core Goodnotes experience.

  15. 사진을 올릴때 그냥 큰 이미지를 바로 올리는 것이 아닌, 모달(팝업) 형태로도 올릴 수 있게 해주세요.

    링크추가 기능을 사용할때 나오는 오브젝트 같은걸 클릭하면 등록한 이미지가 모달(팝업)의 형태로 나오도록 구현하고, 빈공간이나 x표시를 누르면 모달이 사라지도록 구현하면 좋을 것 같아요.

    그러면 많은 개념들을 정리할때 큰 이미지나 다양한 이미지를 하나의 페이지에 깔끔하게 정리할 수 있을 것 같아요.

    감사합니다. 좋은 하루 되세요.

  16. Currently, Goodnotes AI provides solution and tutoring support for math and engineering-related topics. I hope it can be expanded to include other subjects beyond math and engineering, so users can receive learning guidance and solution support in a wider range of subjects.

  17. When adjusting pen settings, it seems to occupy a large portion of the display. Also, I’m not sure why tools like fountain pen, ballpoint pen, and brush pen are separated from the pencil, since they all fall under pen types. It would be better to include the pencil within the pen category and simplify the UI—similar to Samsung Notes or other note-taking apps—by allowing users to select pen types within a single pen tool. Pen-related settings could be placed under an options icon to save space.

    Additionally, the animations for pen options (such as flatness, pressure sensitivity, and tip sharpness)…

  18. As an a level student, found tape feature very useful, but its very annoying when you right over the tape(I study by hiding key words in notes by using tape, and fill them by pen) and try to rub off the pen on the tape, there is no feature for that.

    There is a feature for removing highlighters or tapes, but not specifically pen on the tape, hope it changes, as it makes studies less efficient.

  19. Se sabe que si deseas escribir con alguna tipografía para que la letra sea bonita sale un recuadro para escribir dentro y es incómodo. Deberían tener en configuración " embellecimiento de escritura " de forma automática como ocurre en freenotes.

  20. the sticky notes are searchable while expanded...but the instant you collapse them the content can't be searched..Also image addition to the sticky notes should be feature. And the text in the added images(screenshots) should be searchable as well.
