  1. As a student I very much miss some options for the study set feature:

    For example needed are features like…

    • overviewing ALL of the study sets
    • Moving cards from one study set to another/putting sets together
    • Changing layouts for flashcards
    • Import study sets in bulk from e.g. CSV files
    • Plan when which study set should be learned
    • Use tags in study sets and filter for them

    • Choose which study sets are currently interesting and a „pause“ function

  2. Add the ability to set a different default font per language e.g., Hebrew uses one font by default, English another so the font switches automatically when changing keyboard language.

  3. I love using the handwriting-to-text feature in Goodnotes!
    However, I’d really appreciate the ability to set a default font, line spacing and text size for converted handwriting.
    Right now, I have to manually change it every time, which interrupts my workflow.

    This feature would make the writing and editing process much smoother – especially for people who use Goodnotes regularly for structured notes.

    Thank you for considering this!

  4. Dear GoodNotes Team,

    I hope this message finds you well. I’d like to suggest a feature that I believe would greatly enhance the user experience, especially for students and multilingual users.

    Currently, the text selection menu includes useful options like “Copy,” “Highlight,” and “Comment.” It would be incredibly helpful to have a “Translate” option integrated directly into this menu. This would allow users to quickly understand unfamiliar terms or phrases without needing to switch between apps or use split-screen mode.

    Such a feature would be especially valuable in academic and professional contexts, where users frequently engage with texts in multiple…

  5. If you import a document converted into PDF into GoodNote or add an image file as a GoodNote file document as an image file, all pages will be in images. At this time, the text file was converted into an image, so even if you want to select the text, the text will not be selected. Also, since the text is not selected, even if you ask GoodNote AI, the OCR function in the AI function does not seem to work well yet. I hope the OCR function is added when I import the PDF files I have imaged into…

  6. Every Goodnotes file I bring up on my iPad has the (annoying) "Summarize" option pop up.... I do not use it, it would be great to have a "turn this off" feature. Thank you for making a great product!

  8. Copy/Paste tool selection synchronization in split screen mode: when in split screen mode, using the copy/screenshot function tool in one document would automatically select the lasso tool in the other document, allowing easier copy and paste between split screens without having to select the lasso tool in both documents.

  9. In Note+ or other apps, they can extend the page by adding some space on the left or right. Personally, our professor talks a lot and I need a lot of space to take notes on. So, if you make a feature of extending more space to the pdf page, I would really appreciate it. I'll upload the file of the Note+ app.

  10. When we take a lot of notes during a long period of time, It can be difficult to find them back. It could be useful to generate "timestamps" along a notebook, such as date creation of a page, or tag with the time of the first note of the day, or a stamp with de date/time you want to tag in a page. The time then could be a criterion for search or when you review all the pages.

  12. Goodnotes is the best and only app for me in terms of handwritten notes of any kind on my iPad. The only update I have been waiting is TAGS.

  13. A two-way sync would allow me to synchronize the data over multiple devices.
    This means that a backup on Nextcloud can be restored without the need to import each document separately.

    Additionally, it allows the user to share documents with others and sync any changes made to the document.

    This would a huge productivity boost for
    - students in Germany
    - enterprise users

  15. Make it possible for the app to recognise a rhombus shape and enhance shape recognition in general. Sometimes when I make small circles it detects them as ovals or worse as squares. For my use case this problem is a huuge limitation.

  16. My most used goodnotes notebooks are drastically different page sizes. I often have to switch the font continuously or duplicate an existing text box in the destination notebook in order to have the proper sized font.

  17. Please add this! I love good notes so much but I use an iPad and Samsung phone. I really want to be a digital planner girlie but I don't want to bring my bulky iPad everywhere! I'm so jealous of the iPhone users!

  19. It would be helpful to have a graph overlay where you can add a transparent graph to help you write in a straight line. It can also be used to adjust your notes the way that you want to help with keeping items straight or aligned.

  20. Can the edit feature for the elements have the same mechanics as when we move notepads/files?

    Currently we get a teeny-tiny screen, and have to drag stickers individually, and click "done". This makes it really frustrating and time consuming to organize stickers, which sometimes get all jumbled on download.

    It would be better to a) be able to select multiple elements and b) drag them to other collections if we want, c) on a larger or full-sized window, and d) to not have all the work undone when we click out of that window. Basically the same mechanics as the…
