  1. As I am using Goodnotes daily for school work I often need to access transcripts at a later point when I am doing homework for example. Having the option to easily access my notes on my Windows PC while I am writing on another part of the page or even another page on my iPad would make working with Goodnotes a much better experience, as the collaboration feature often not works for me as intended and is a lot more time-consuming to do. I have been using OneNote before and the only think making me think about switching back to…

  3. As the title suggests, the Windows app is missing a lot of key features. Audio Recording is a must when taking notes in class. The handwriting is unusable. It's the worst among handwriting apps on Windows. And if you want to type your notes, you're stuck with one single font.

  4. The current smallest eraser size is still too big to make fine adjustments. I’d love to see the ability to set a custom size, like with the pencil.

  5. You should be able to draw on study sets. For example I am using a picture as my question for the study set, but want to highlight/mark or even point to a specific part of the picture. This change would have lots of applications

  6. Hi, I feel like this should be relatively easy to implement since we already have the audio recording option. But I would like the option to also upload an mp3 and take notes alongside it. If you are like me sometimes you will have to miss lectures for meetings and other projects. It would be awesome if I could upload the lecture audio mp3 and take notes with it instead of having to rerecord it through my ipad microphone.

  7. With the new apple pencil pro, integrate the option to squeeze to erase and then when you stop, it goes back to your previous tool. I believe this is a new feature in notability.

  8. I have an iPad Air 5th generation m1, I can’t use the pro palette function which really disgruntled me. I suggested a feature a while back suggesting an alternative optional wheel menu for the toolbar instead of the regular straight toolbar at the top or bottom, now I discover that this format is available but only for Apple Pencil pro compatible devices which is incredibly disappointing.

    I really suggest expanding the wheel/palette format to the entire toolbar, pencil pro users can keep the squeeze feature and people who don’t use Apple Pencil pro would also be able to enjoy the…

  9. Please make an option to export or share the audio recorded on the app. This would be really helpful to also have the audios on the cloud.

  11. For a math conversion tool, it's essential that Goodnotes should be able to recognize every mathematical or science symbol/sign. Simple symbols like the mathematical “therefore” symbol, ∴ , can't be recognized, making writing and converting one's math's notes a challenge especially in academic writing. Now I realize there are a lot of symbols out there, but one way to go about it is to take a look at the comprehensive lists at ctan.org. They have comprehensive list of every LaTeX symbol, which pretty much equates to every math symbol that can be indentified for conversion. I've attached one such file.…

  12. Add the option of a continuous page that doesn’t end (similar to notability) to help notes be kept together and make it easier to move words around

  13. It would be amazing for math notes if a plotting option could be integrated. This way to plot functions you could do it on the app instead of having to paste a picture (which is harder to easily change)

  17. I like that we have three options of sorting, but honestly I would like to either manually sort the folders etc…or have it where inside different folders you can have a different option selected. To be honest having both would be awesome.

  18. It seems small problem but changing pen directly from toolbar in one tap will be game changer .. changing colour is simple we know but changing ballpoint, brush and fountain pen directly is only imagination

  19. It would be fantastic to display other Apps ( for Schoolbooks. Pdf. , etc. ) on a second screen and open a document in goodnotes to make notes.

    The normal iOS note does it in this way.
    Goodnotes directly switches to presenter Mode if i open a document and hides my digital Schoolbooks.

    Should be like shown on the picture.

    IPad make notes
    Second screen display something
