  2. Currently, the app offers three pen stroke thicknesses (thin, medium, thick). It would be useful to allow users to add one or two additional stroke options for greater flexibility in note-taking and diagramming.

    I think a lot of students would benefit from this option especially students who zoom in to write on tiny organ pictures and re-zoom out for a different font size, like in my case.

    The idea is for those who want to add they can who don’t want then nothing changes.

    Best regards,
    Hasan ataba

  3. I used to make perfect stars with a ball pen whenever I drew a wobbly star and then locked my pen in place for it to snap into a perfect star shape. But with the new update you guys for no reason at all ruined this for me. Whenever I try to make the same star shape it clicks into a CIRCLE OR A SQUARE FOR NO APPARENT REASON AT ALL even though what I drew has NOTHING to do with an as simple shape as circle or a square. Please fix this I can not study as efficiently as…

  4. The current screenshot feature captures all notes on the page. I wish to add an option to capture only the background.

    Also, it would be easier to have an option like "screenshot and copy", the current workflow is too complex: screenshot, share, copy, and close the preview...

    So two features: "screenshot background", "screenshot and copy".

  5. Goodnotes helps us organize notes, meeting records, and study materials in one place. It makes it easier to review information, annotate documents, and keep everything structured, which improves productivity and collaboration.

  6. Many things are are already moveable to accomodate different writing styles and workflows, which is amazing. That being said, even though I find that the minimap in the whiteboard is a very important and useful tool, as a lefty I am constantly hitting it accidentally (even when it is minimized) and it can be quite frustrating to have this be an issue when this has a solution that shows up in other parts of the UI/UX. I was suprised to find out that the minimap is locked in place in the bottom left corner even though it appears to be…

  9. I would love it if in the outlines menus if we could add multiple pages to one specific outline so I don’t have 5 pages with the same outline name and I could have all 5 pages under one category. I feel that it would make the outlines much cleaner and more helpful when finding a certain page in that catagory.

  12. A very easy fix I hope - please could the search bar not auto-select when trying to move files? The keyboard coming up is very jarring, blocks half of the location list and it feels more appropriate to not have this as default - personally I have never needed to search for a location and I imagine there aren't many use cases where users have so many folder layers that they require a search every time!

  13. 最近大量使用套索工具,還有複製貼上筆記在不同的檔案
    舉例來說我在文件A使用套索工具選取筆記,如果要複製到剪貼簿,必須圈選完點右邊的的更多選單,才能選取複製。不然就是要複製在該頁面,然後剪下,才能在文件B貼上筆記
    此外,貼上的筆記的選單也跟圈選時不一樣,因為編輯有時候有特定且大量的操作,希望整個自訂功能可以完善,自訂出一條在個人使用特定幾個編輯功能可以最有效率的工具清單~

  14. I would like to request a feature that would greatly improve the reading experience in GoodNotes. Currently, when working with typed or text-based documents, it is not always possible to zoom in and zoom out smoothly using a two-finger pinch gesture like we do with PDFs or images.

    It would be very helpful if GoodNotes allowed users to zoom in and zoom out of text documents using the two-finger pinch gesture. This feature would make it easier to read, review, and navigate through typed notes, especially on smaller screens.

  15. I would like to respectfully suggest that the cursor icon displayed while hovering be changed from the current dotted shape to a pencil icon.
    I use Goodnotes while giving online lectures, and I find the current dotted cursor neither aesthetically pleasing nor easy to see. As a result, it can be difficult to clearly track the pen position while writing. I believe that changing the cursor to a pencil-shaped icon would greatly improve both visibility and the overall user experience.
    Thank you for your time and consideration.

  16. hello goodnotes.I am from India. I am currently using the 1year(essential) plan. but I want to upgrade my subscription to the special edition/ lifetime subscription. but it seems like ,in India- the special edition subscription is not available .there is only the essential/yearly plans and one Pro plan. so it will be very helpful if you add the special edition plan for India region.

    I desperately need the special edition plan. and it is not available in India region so is there any other way that I can buy the special edition subscription.

    if you add the speciality some subscription…

  18. Now that lock has been implemented, I find it too easy to select the locked object, making writing on top of it difficult.

    How about something like a long press to unlock or something like that so the locked item stays locked and unselected.

  19. Hi Goodnotes Team,

    I am a heavy user of Goodnotes on iPad with a Magic Keyboard.

    I would like to suggest adding keyboard shortcuts for page navigation, such as:

    Next Page: (e.g., Cmd + Right Arrow)
    Previous Page: (e.g., Cmd + Left Arrow)
    Go to Specific Page: (e.g., Cmd + G)

    Currently, I have to manually swipe or tap the screen to turn pages even while typing, which interrupts the workflow.

    Having these shortcuts would significantly improve productivity for users who use external keyboards.

    Please consider adding this feature in a future update. Thank you!

  20. One of the reasons I haven’t switch to GoodNotes:

    One of the key features of this app is recording in (iOS). Therefore, there should be more features when recording. THERE SHOULD BE OPTIONS FOR EXPORTING AND IMPORTING AUDIO FILE. If imported, it should be able to summarize it as well. NOTABILITY has this options. Also when recording sometimes there is 5/10 minutes that there is no one talking (many reasons). There should be an option to be able to cut/delete portions of the audio file. Just like notability. Thank you.
