  1. Einen Taschenrechner der automatisch das Ergebnis ausgibt wenn man ein = schreibt. So wie bei dem Apple Taschenrechner auf dem iPad der es in der eigenen Handschrift schreibt. Ich und meine Klasse in der uni würden das sehr feiern

  2. As a mathematics teacher and a regular user of GoodNotes 6, I greatly appreciate how the app supports digital teaching and note-taking. However, during my daily use—especially in teaching complex concepts—I found that a few additional features would significantly improve the experience, particularly for educators like me:
    1. Merge and Split Strokes: This would allow us to combine or separate drawn elements easily—very helpful when organizing mathematical constructions or diagrams.
    2. Edit Stroke Properties After Drawing: It would be beneficial to tap on a stroke and adjust its style (e.g., dashed, dotted, solid) or thickness, which is essential when emphasizing…

  3. When writing near the edges of the page (especially the bottom or side), it becomes uncomfortable because the palm starts sliding off the iPad. This makes writing less natural and more difficult. It would be very helpful to have the ability to slightly shift or reposition the visible
    page area, so I can keep my hand comfortably on the screen while writing near the page margins.
    Avoid hand sliding off iPad

  6. We need a box for FAVOURITE TEXT STYLES.
    For my documents I use different fonts but each font is associated with a different text size and line spacing. it's very difficult for me to change the text and every characteristic each time in order to have the style I want, instead it would be very useful if I had a box with my favourites.

  7. Dear programmers,

    Please, Allows us to use shortcut to change colors while using Keyboard for take notes. That’s really useful… we need to use hand/pencil to change colors and this take some time.
    Example: cmd + r (change to red) or maybe we could setup our preferences though
    Bye bye bets programmers in intire swift world. Haha

  9. When writing continues from the current page to the next, the next page should be automatically added, and the handwriting should seamlessly extend to the following page rather than being "cut off" or "eaten" by it. (Similar to the writing experience in Notability, which handles this particularly well.)

  11. Hi Goodnotes team,

    I have another feature suggestion that could greatly enhance the experience of using audio recordings within notebooks.

    Currently, when we start a voice recording and take notes by hand or typing during the recording, there’s no way to later connect specific notes to the exact moment they were written.

    My suggestion: it would be incredibly useful if, after saving the recording, I could tap on a word or note I wrote during the session, and the audio would jump directly to the exact minute and second when that note was taken.

    This feature would be a game-changer…

  13. Allow the user to specify a default notebook for quick notes. If not specified, use a system default notebook. Never close an open notebook when starting a new quick note (open the specified default notebook or the system default notebook in a new tab if they are not already open)

  14. Above the inserted image, draw "lines, circles, polygons, etc.", click to select "lines, circles, polygons, etc." again, the selected "lines, circles, polygons, etc." will disappear and cannot be selected again. Only after exiting and re-entering will they reappear.

  16. GoodNotes is the best note taking app for iPad.

    But there is a chunk of the userbase which uses it on their laptops/mac's and use the text feature a lot - both full page writing tool and floating text box alike.

    There's a lot to improve and catch up in these features comparing to dominating industry standards of note taking apps writing tools like in Notion for example.

    GoodNotes could leverage its handwriting features combined with an improved text writing experience to be even more outstanding in the market of note taking apps.

    The improvements include:
    1. Introducing easy via…

  19. バージョン6.6.18以降、1番目のタブを閲覧後、2番目のタブを編集し、再度1番目のタブに戻ると、当該1番目のタブのページが当初閲覧していたページから文書の第1ページに勝手に移動していて、両タブ間でのコピペ等の編集作業がきわめてやり難くなった。

  20. 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
