  1. Dear Good Notes team,
    I’d like to make a small suggestion that I believe would make the experience even better: the ability to change fonts in the Windows version. Right now, only one font is available, and it would be amazing to personalize our notes with different styles, just like in the iOS and macOS versions. This would help make our notes more organized, creative, and tailored to each user’s needs.
    Best regards,

  2. On macOS, the user interface in both documents and the folder overview often appears too small on large screens. It would be helpful to have an option to scale the UI—both to enlarge and reduce it. This feature would be useful not only on Mac but also on iPad and iPhone.

  4. Something I don't like about GoodNotes is that when you are on the Typing option in the Nav Bar (the keyboard symbol), you can't add line spacing when you have numbered list selected. How is this not something already integrated into the app?

  5. I’d like the option to add reminders by date and time to my notebook. It’s great to have all my work notes in a digital notepad but the option to add a reminder would enhance the organizational aspect of the product

  6. I want to be able to use my own AWS account for AI related features so that way all my data stays strictly with me. It would be ideal to have a place to enter my access keys or whatever credentials I used to access my account.

  9. It would be nice if we were able to use more than 1 default font in typing mode. The feature is useful and could be upgraded to be like the text box feature to include numerous fonts to choose from and to be able to use custom fonts like other popular note-taking apps such as Notability and Freenotes.

  11. It could be great if the study set cards could be more customizable so you could add text and a photo and don't have to choose between them.

    In addition to this, it could be great if the app could be made controller compatible so you can link a controller to scroll through the cards.

  12. Goodnote kept getting an error, so I deleted it and reinstalled it, but all the data disappeared. Unable to back up the data. What should I do? There were all the test materials there...

  14. 🎀 Adding a widget feature on the home screen (Documents) and in any section is better, to make it customized through individuals' perspectives. For more clarity, this includes different sizes of widgets, photo widget (from Pinterest, notion, or even from the device itself), customizes to-do list (customized shape (framed and unframed), colour, wallpaper, and bullet point), clock widget and etc.
    🎀 Moreover, customized wallpaper (colour, fancy frame, etc.) will improve the user's comfort, space, and creativity. It will help the users find their pace to suitable mood, zone, and comfortability.

  16. I loved getting a satisfying ding when using Microsoft Suite’s to do list and ticking off a task. It would be great if we could add a sound when inserting stickers for the same gratification. Even if this were just made possible through ‘Shortcuts’ on the iPad, so we could add a sound. That would increase my motivation.

  17. Instead of having to drag past the edge for adding a new page, it would be nice if Goodnotes had an option to always add an empty page at the end, similar to how Notability does it. This would be particularly useful for vertical page, since writing at the bottom edge of the screen is ergonomically difficult.

  18. The floating on-canvas tool palette that shows up when I squeeze my Apple Pencil Pro should show the tool options popup when I double tap a tool on it, just like the main toolbar.

  19. I really like the app so far, but I also feel nostalgic about writing with a proper pen on proper paper. So I wondered, given the brilliant handwriting recognition of your app, wouldn’t it be possible to import handwritten text via OCR keeping the handwritten form without converting it. So I could eventually write with my stylus and eventually write on paper integrating the text seamlessly with the text written with stylus. Unfortunately there is no other application able to do this at the moment, but I think it would be something beneficial for everybody who likes the personal touch…

  20. Currently, when jumping to a different page, the “Return to Previous Page” button disappears after scrolling about half a page forward.

    Often, when studying, I follow references in the text by using Goodnotes’ internal links to jump to a previous page. However, if the referenced content spans multiple pages, I need to read through those pages before returning. By the time I finish reading and attempt to go back, the “Return to Previous Page” button has already disappeared, making navigation inconvenient.

    Video example: https://gyazo.com/b84dc9cd464d2afd86dc691d23ed8d50

    Alternatively, a different approach, like Kindle’s system of keeping multiple jump history records, would be even…
