  1. I would like to request the addition of a “Smart Guideline” feature similar to the one available in Samsung Notes. The feature could dynamically provide a subtle horizontal guideline while writing, helping users maintain a straight baseline even when working on completely blank pages.

    I frequently prefer unruled pages because they provide a cleaner and more flexible writing experience. However, maintaining a consistent straight line of handwriting on a blank page is difficult, particularly when writing longer notes. A Smart Guideline that assists with maintaining the writing baseline—without permanently adding ruled lines to the page—would solve this problem very effectively.

  2. I love Goodnotes so much that I don't just feel like a customer anymore, I truly feel like a part of the family. You guys cook up the absolute best note-taking experience, and I'm always cheering for our "shop."
    The other day, I happened to step into another app called "Freenotes." Honestly, they aren't nearly as good as us, but they do have one simple, incredibly sensible quality that made me stop and think. It really pointed out a missing ingredient in our own recipe: a page "expansion" feature.
    In Freenotes, when you run out of room, you can seamlessly…

  3. Add a bucket tool to fill colour into hand draw complex images, so for people who have to hand draw their own images easier. Don’t have to colour the whole thing bit by bit and way and for more accuracy.

  4. I would like to suggest a new feature that I believe could be very useful for many Goodnotes users, especially students and people who regularly read and study PDF documents.

    The feature I would like to suggest is a “Two Pages View” option, allowing users to display two pages of a PDF side by side, similar to the reading modes already available in other PDF and document applications.

    As a student, I find this feature particularly useful when studying from textbooks, lecture notes, academic articles, or other documents in PDF format. Being able to see two pages simultaneously would make…

  5. When I enable Read-Only Mode, a small down-arrow button appears at the top-left corner of the page (as shown in the attached screenshot).
    I understand that this is a navigation/UI control, but while reading or revising my notes, this button becomes a visual distraction.

    More importantly, the button overlaps with the content of my notes. As a result, some parts of my notes underneath or near the button are partially hidden and are not clearly visible. This becomes particularly inconvenient when I am trying to read or revise the notes.

    Could you please consider adding an option in Settings to…

  7. Feature Idea: Quick Page Linking & Navigation

    I would love to see an easier way to link one page in a Goodnotes notebook to another page.

    Currently, if I want to link to a specific page—especially in a large notebook with hundreds of pages—it can be difficult and time-consuming to find the exact page I want.

    My idea: Add an additional drop-down menu or page-selection box when creating a link. Instead of having to scroll through hundreds of pages to find the destination page, the user could simply:

    1. Select “Link to Page.”
    2. Open a drop-down/search box.
    3. Type the page number,…

  9. I really like the whiteboard feature as it enables others and me to collaborate cross-platform on the same infinite canvas like on Freeform, where only Apple users can collaborate.

    But I miss the background options you get with ordinary.

    I also miss scenes from Freeform, which can serve as keynote slides, table of contents and a general outline of the whole mind-map.

    For me as a math and it student, this would be much appreciated.

  10. Goodnotes AI – Get Answers Using External AI Provider APIs

    Goodnotes currently has its own AI model, but I was wondering if it would be possible to also receive answers using AI APIs from external providers instead of being limited to the Goodnotes AI model.

    I previously suggested something similar, but I found a better example that demonstrates what I mean.

    Goodnotes AI

    • Goodnotes AI is included depending on the user's Goodnotes subscription plan.
    • In addition to the Goodnotes model, users can also use models such as GPT, Gemini, Claude, and others.

    Let users connect the AI services they already

  11. It’s frustrating because whenever I try to write notes over an attached image, the image keeps getting selected instead. Even with the "lock" feature enabled, it only prevents the image from moving; I can't find any way to stop it from being selected. I seem to recall there used to be a specific setting for image objects in the document options—did that get removed? I can't seem to find it anymore. Please bring it back!

  12. Hello! i know the whiteboard already exists, but i feel they are quite limited in file size, as well as can get overwhelming for certain purposes. i think it would be great to ADDITIONALLY have an infinite scrolling note, but not infinite sideways, only downwards. This is a great in between for many purposes, and it is quite similar to a common format found throughout many apps such as apple notes, upnote, etc... having a goodnotes version of this would definitely be amazing!
    of course one thing to keep in mind is to add the ability to lasso "under a…

  14. Being able to select multiple text boxes and change their font, size, or colour all at once.
    = Streamline formatting and save time
    Especially when working with longer documents or needing to make quick adjustments after a lecture.

    When sharing my notes with friends, they may not like my font, so if i could just multi select and change it in seconds, it would be so useful!

    Please please add this feature!

  15. I want Goodnotes to let me permanently zoom the page/canvas out to a much smaller percentage (like 20%) and keep it at that zoom level, like Noteful does. With the ability to zoom it back to 100%.

  16. Implement Dual-Page and Quad-Page View Modes in GoodNotes(like the following fig)
    Dear GoodNotes Development Team,
    I am a dedicated user of GoodNotes and would like to express my appreciation for the excellent note-taking and PDF annotation features your app offers. As someone who heavily relies on GoodNotes for academic research, document organization, and creative projects, I have found the app to be indispensable. However, I would like to suggest a new feature that I believe could significantly enhance the app’s flexibility and productivity: the ability to display two-page or four-page views simultaneously.

  17. I and lots of my friends in Thailand use Goodnotes, it's an app that everybody that takes notes whether in school, work, or anywhere here will use or at least know what it is. If you could add Thai as a language in spellchecks, it will help us Thais a lot. Thank you for your consideration.

  19. Hi Goodnotes Team,

    I’m a medical student and have been using your wonderful app, including a paid subscription, for several years. Goodnotes has become one of my main study tools, and overall I’ve had a very positive experience with it.

    However, my main issue has always been the limited maximum zoom level.

    As a medical student, I often create very detailed pages containing multiple questions, explanations, diagrams, and summary tables all on one page. Because of this, some of the text can be quite small, and I often need to zoom in further to read it comfortably. Unfortunately, the current…
