  2. Shape not snapping to grid is the only reason my friend is not switching to Goodnotes. He’s an engineer and it would be incredibly helpful. Also please allow us to customize our profile picture color at least. Right now, it’s a color that’s unlucky in my country, so I would really appreciate it.

  3. I mainly use the new Text Doc template and type up the majority of my notes. I'd like an easy way to add handwriting to the text document.

    Also, I've noticed that it is very hard to add a phone to a Text Doc template.

  4. 我是一名中国用户,我希望增加一个手写字美化功能,美化成特定类似手写字体。因为中国人的写字差异会非常大。我们有些自己写的字能读得懂,如果展示给其他人看,或者保存下来可能会有比较大的困难,对于写字难看的人。所以希望加入字体实时美化的功能。现在一些中国app已经有这样的功能,希望贵公司的可以跟进。I am a user from China, and I would like to suggest adding a handwriting beautification feature that can transform handwriting into a specific, aesthetically pleasing handwritten font. There is a vast disparity in how different Chinese people write. For those with poor handwriting, their original script might be legible to themselves but difficult for others to read or problematic to save for future reference. Therefore, I hope to see a real-time handwriting beautification feature. Some Chinese apps have already implemented this, and I hope your company can follow suit.

  5. Why did you remove this in favor of zooming. I want to be able to change the Paragraph Style (Heading 1, Heading 2... Body, Caption) using the keyboard. This is an important feature for taking notes using the keyboard, while not constantly tapping around on screen.

  6. When I use the tape over photos in my notes, the photo always gets selected instead of the tape when I try to edit. Or when I'm using the tape as flash cards to cover information, I can never tap the tape properly because the photo is automatically selected first. I think when you choose to "lock photo", it should also mean that the photo isnt selected when u tap over it when people are trying to write or use tape or other tools over the photo.

  7. If you want to open two pages of the same document using presentation mode (but only one page is to be projected), the new procedure is very cumbersome. I would like to see the old function returned: you open the page overview and simply drag the desired page to the other side of the screen. This would save time in class.

  8. Please add optional UI customization for the iPad app, especially toolbar color and contrast controls. I would like a cleaner, less harsh toolbar and the ability to adjust visual emphasis, button size, and layout so the app feels more usable without changing the core Goodnotes experience.

  9. Currently, Goodnotes AI provides solution and tutoring support for math and engineering-related topics. I hope it can be expanded to include other subjects beyond math and engineering, so users can receive learning guidance and solution support in a wider range of subjects.

  10. When adjusting pen settings, it seems to occupy a large portion of the display. Also, I’m not sure why tools like fountain pen, ballpoint pen, and brush pen are separated from the pencil, since they all fall under pen types. It would be better to include the pencil within the pen category and simplify the UI—similar to Samsung Notes or other note-taking apps—by allowing users to select pen types within a single pen tool. Pen-related settings could be placed under an options icon to save space.

    Additionally, the animations for pen options (such as flatness, pressure sensitivity, and tip sharpness)…

  11. As an a level student, found tape feature very useful, but its very annoying when you right over the tape(I study by hiding key words in notes by using tape, and fill them by pen) and try to rub off the pen on the tape, there is no feature for that.

    There is a feature for removing highlighters or tapes, but not specifically pen on the tape, hope it changes, as it makes studies less efficient.

  12. Se sabe que si deseas escribir con alguna tipografía para que la letra sea bonita sale un recuadro para escribir dentro y es incómodo. Deberían tener en configuración " embellecimiento de escritura " de forma automática como ocurre en freenotes.

  13. Please have the option to have a "hide author" option as default when writing a sticky note. I really don't want to remove and toggle it every time I write on a sticky note. Thank you, Goodnotes!

    1. PDF Outline (Table of Contents) Usability

    Problem:
    In large PDFs, the outline panel truncates headings with “…” after a few words, making it difficult to quickly identify sections—especially in dense medical textbooks with similar headings.

    Suggestion:
    • Display full heading text in the outline panel (either via wrapping or expandable view)
    • Improve readability and navigation by allowing users to clearly distinguish between sections at a glance
    2. View Modes & Reading Themes

    Problem:
    Reading long PDFs for extended periods can be visually tiring, and navigation options are limited compared to dedicated PDF readers.

    Suggestion:
    Add flexible viewing and display…

  15. 아이패드 프로에서 가로화면으로 사용중인데 텍스트문서 파일을 생성하고 작성하면 저렇게 화면의 일부만 사용가능합니다. 양옆의 큰 여백이 계속 있어요. 이 여백을 없애고 텍스트문서를 꽉차게 보고싶어요.
    그리고 텍스트문서에도 일반 노트처럼 페이지를 나눠서 페이지 넘기기 기능이 생기면 좋겠어요.

  16. I wanted to have a pet that will be on your screen where you can interact with it and you can study with it. Also you can get snacks/change its appearances the more you study/write notes.

  19. Instead of copying and pasting the text piece by piece, I’d like to copy and paste the entire text and then split the text box by selecting it with the lasso tool, turning it into its individual box.
