  1. For example, I always have my To-Do-List open and i hate it, when i accidentially close it. A pinning option would be great!

  4. It would be amazing if we could get an Update in Goodnotes 6 with an AI Copilot that outlines the most important informations of a page (also the handwritten) on the side to make them easier to learn. Please also integrate an connection to this AI with the vocabularies, to generate them automatically from the note page.

  5. Sometimes the answer on a study set is long, and there’s no way to highlight text of underline it in the answer. Being able to draw of highlight on top of the text as you would in a notebook would be much easier and neater!

  7. Currently you have to long press a link, then choose open link from a menu. This is very time consuming, especially if you are using a daily planner template. yes, you can put the app into "view mode" then it will work in single tap. but that is also time consuming. Please give us the open to single tap in the edit mode. You may be saying "but a single tap will appear as though it's the user trying to write with the pen tool". Well, you could do a little gesture recognition and determine if it's a finger or…

  8. I want to backup my notebooks periodically to my encrypted drive service proton drive however the automatic backup feature only supports a select few services. I know supporting new services can be difficult so I noticed that my iPad has a folder that my proton drive app already automatically syncs to my cloud. If you could backup periodically to this folder on my iPad it would work universally.

  9. Laser pen .....
    Doing rough Work with laser pen on document is good as a part of learning process
    But the only drawback is it gets vanished too soon i suggest Good notes team to atleast increase its disappearing time to 5- 6 seconds instead of existing 1-2 second when apple pencil is lifted up from screen :)

  10. When you are writing to convert to text it will not match what I capitalize. Only the leading letter of the sentence or phrase.

  11. Why not use Microsoft Notes app feature where user can tap anywhere on the page or canvas and start typing to freely “drop/appear” text on any spot of the page? Apply this principle to Cornell page layout space - leftmost column (make sure text don’t get cut off by page lines - reduce readability).

  12. I use goodnotes in uni and have audio recording turned on during notes in my lectures. The thing I have noticed is that while helpful, for many of my classes, when I go to make refined notes it means i have to go back and listen to the whole lecture again (often pausing alot write down and catchup with things the prof said). This means that I often have to spend 2-3 hours on a one hour lecture just to get everything the prof said written down so I don’t miss anything. Thats alot of time dedicated to a class…

  13. Goodnotes lacks granular cloud backup options, limiting users' control over their data.

    Solution:

    Implement granular backup options to allow users to:

    Choose specific folders and files for backup
    Choose where the specific folders are stored withing the cloud
    Define individual backup schedules
    Exclude folders and files from backup

  15. The release of Goodnotes 6 within the previous year, was great for the Apple ecosystem, but recently I have moved to Samsung and I have noticed just how bad Goodnotes 6 is on Samsung Tablets (I have the Tab S9 series).

    A progress web app can never be for a note-taking app, native apps are essential for note-taking as performance with the Goodnotes 6 web app is bad.

    The web app crashes often, the pen is laggy and most of the time my handwriting ends up looking bad comparing it with native apps like Samsung Notes, jNotes, Squid, and others.

  16. The Laser-pointer is nice and i appreciate it. But it would be cool if you could customise colour, transparency and how long the laser will stay on the paper

  17. Goodnotes outdoes every other note taking app and is hands down my favorite BUT I keep going back to Apple Notes because I just love how the calligraphy pen/pressure just flows and writes amazing!

    Please update the pens to offer better pressure and writing. Please add better options! Please make the fountain pen to be more like Apple Notes. I just don’t feel any of the options you guys offer allow for appealing daily writing for notes and journaling.

    If Apple Notes offered everything you did I would delete the Goodnotes app just alone for the pen/writing options.

  20. Search functionality

    Study-set page copying functionality, so that I can paste it into different sets of study sets for practising random questions from different topics holistically.

    Table insertion using an apple pen to either draw a table or delete a table.

    Ability to switch between handwriting, typed text and inserting photos, without erasing a study set content.

    Multiple-order bullet points functionality that is computer keyboard friendly.

    I prefer to study from a study set, rather than a flashcard template, because it presents the learning material in fairly large size when I study from my iPad screen (usually) or my computer…
