  1. An easy integration to add easy notes for the existing calendar on your device.
    It would be great to have a list of your calendar items and them add notes to it.
    Also a category for different kinds of notes and if you click you on them you get a list with every note taken with the dates. See pictures.

  2. Two features I used regularly in with Word Documents or in OneNote is the ability for tabbed bullet lists (sub bullet lists). Also the ability to (when typing) create a simple chart to type input (multiple rows and columns to type) would be a huge improvement.

  3. I want to be able to click and hold the first word in a paragraph and be able to drag and highlight the whole paragraph in one stroke instead of highlighting each line/sendence individually.

  4. I’d like for that same view of collapsible folders and notes when importing documents to be on the sidebar, it would be useful to be able to see multiple notes/folders at the same time

  5. Hi i’d like a search tool for when you’re adding a document to link a page. I have some reference documents that are way too long to remember which page i want to link to a current document and it’s too much scrolling once i do find the page i want to link. I’d like when i pick a document to link to be able to search for a specific term/phrase and any pages that include that term to show up so i can see easily which page i want to link.

  6. Currently, there is no iPad app that allows video (screen + optional audio+facecam) recording while taking handwritten notes in an integrated way.
    Adding this feature would clearly set GoodNotes ahead of all competitors and turn it into a complete learning and teaching platform, especially for students and educators.

  7. Hello GoodNotes Team,

    As a long-time user who relies heavily on iPad screen mirroring for teaching and presentations, I’ve encountered a major pain point that makes it impossible to present and check reference materials simultaneously on a single device.

    I found that GoodNotes' "Presentation Mode" (which is supposed to show a pure UI-free view on the external screen) immediately breaks down and reverts to global screen mirroring—exposing my toolbars, background, or other apps—in the following scenarios:

    During Screen Mirroring / AirPlay, if I pull up another app using Slide Over or Split View on the iPad.

    When connecting to an…

  8. I’m currently using an Apple Pencil tip that’s optimized for 0.38, so I usually set it to that thickness. However, the available options are only 0.3, 0.35, and 0.4, which feels a bit limiting. It would be great if we could set more precise values like 0.38 or even 0.28 for finer control!

  9. I know that using "editable" PDF export, the outline is appended. But this type of export is absolutely huge and provides no use for someone to whom I just want to send my notes. It would be much appreciated to be able to export "flattened" PDF with outline.

  10. It's really annoying to erase the tape one by one
    There must be a lot of people who use it exclusively for learning
    Covering the entire tape It would be really convenient to put a function to cover the entire tape in the place of the tape tool, but it's a shame that there's no simple function like this. Whenever I turned the page, I covered it one by one, moved on, and bought it with money, but I think I can put in a simple function like this

  11. I would love to see a wider variety of folder emoji options in GoodNotes.

    Currently, the limited selection makes it harder to visually organize folders in a way that reflects different subjects, moods, or purposes. Many users rely on visual cues for quick navigation, and expanding the emoji library would greatly improve usability and personalization.

    For example, adding more categories such as symbols, Exclusive color for emojis, objects, or even allowing custom emoji (including iOS emojis) would make the experience much more intuitive and enjoyable.

    This small change could significantly enhance folder organization and overall user satisfaction.

    Thank you for…

  13. I'm using GoodNotes both on my MacBook and iPad during lecture notes. On my MacBook, I mostly use the "text document" feature to type down my notes.

    Unfourtunately, there's no handwriting support (e.g. with the Apple Pencil) as in a normal note book. I'd like to request a feature where we can enable handwriting in a text document, so we can use both ways (typing + writing) do get things done in a text document.

  15. I would love to see more symbols and icons to choose from for the folders. Syringes, the rod of Asclepius, band-aids, ambulances, buildings, various sports, body parts, animals, calculators, numbers, test tubes, bells, books… maybe based on emojis, or the ones available in Word

  16. I often record my university lectures and listen to them later, but I find the current playback speed options a bit limiting. For example, 1x feels too slow, while 1.5x is slightly too fast.
    it would be much more convenient if users could adjust the playback speed in smaller increments, such as 0.1 steps, or have additional options like 1.2x and 1.3x.
    This would greatly improve the listening experience when reviewing recorded lectures.
    Thank you.

  17. Please add the option to freely customise the tools inside of the Apple Pencil Pro menu. I also would love to see more colour options in this menu instead of the normal three.

  18. add a feature of a "float-note"
    the note will catch small part of screen, and will stay no matter what document is in its background,
    and of course can be minimized when unnecessary.
    can be used for:
    1. common data that needs to be available while switching documents.
    2. reminders or data that are not related to any document and need to stay in eye site.
    3. a middle stop station from delivering data between document (for example if I want to collect information from one document and then transferre it to another- without going back and forth between them)

  19. My Apple Pencil tip works best with a thickness of 0.38, so I usually try to match that. However, the available options are limited to values like 0.3, 0.35, and 0.4, which feels a bit restrictive.

    It would be much better if we could set more precise values, such as 0.38 or 0.28, by allowing finer adjustments within ranges like 0.2–0.3 or 0.3–0.4.
