  2. I'm a big user of goodnotes, I've been taking notes with him since 4 years ago, it's a very good software to use, as you know, apple recently released ipad air 6 (13inch), I bought him and upgraded goodnotes 6 on this new ipad.
    I realized that from my previous device using goodnotes 5 there was no heating condition.
    But after about 20 minutes of writing on top of the new ipad, my ipad has been heating up really bad.
    I had to stop and let the ipad cool down a bit before I could continue writing. I hope the…

  4. It would be really useful to have the same expanded font choice for a keyboard entering and handwritten text to typed text that you offer using the text tool in the box. I’m a creative person, and I like to choose my font to type in.

  5. Hey, it would be really nice and helpful to add Bulgarian as recognised language. I see that Russian is available which also uses the Cyrillic alphabet, hopefully Bulgarian will be available soon too!

  6. Hi,
    I like Goodnotes very much, but I miss some features for my workflow as
    architect. I use Goodnotes for measurements on location.

    1. Layers
      I would like to have some layers for structuring my drawings

    2. Dottet / Dashed Lines
      … selfspeaking

    3. Forms with graphical options for lines/edges and surface
      It would be nice, if we could define line-style and surface-style
      e.g. surface: white (with options for transparency) and lines/edges
      as dashed line.

    4. More as 3 lines thicknesses in UI-Menu

    Greetings from Germany
    Tobi

  7. I like to color code my notes. It would be so helpful to have the option to set a different color palette for every notebook without it affecting the rest, rather than having to rearrange my palette every time i want to take notes for another subject

  9. GoodNotes users are looking to integrate AI features into the app, similar to other note-taking apps like Notion. AI-powered features such as transforming notes into practice tests, flashcards, table forms and summaries can help users study and revise more efficiently. Additionally, users would like to see AI-powered grammar and vocabulary suggestions to improve the quality of their notes.

  10. I think that is essential for students and professors to have the Voice recording feature (that is recently already available on Goodnotes for iPad) on Goodnotes for Windows. This feature that allows you to replay the ink/drawings you made while taking note and the related audio recording is great and it can be the main point of why windows users should choose Goodnotes instead of other millions of note taking apps already available on the microsoft App Store.

  11. While writing, my palm touches the screen and most often the "Zoom | Add comment" option pops up. It would be great if this menu can be made optional.

  12. We PLEASE need a Widget! I don’t know any other important app that hasn’t got a widget for iOS.
    One where we can see our Books in a ‘library’, just one book at a time or a certain page of a book on our home screens. Please make this happen - it is really needed!!

  13. I've been using GoodNotes for 3.5 years now and some of my notebooks are quite long. Scrolling through looking for things is difficult in these because there are so many pages to navigate and the scrolling is fairly slow. The search function works well but not for looking through diagrams/drawings. The thumbnail view is good for getting to the start or end of a notebook, but the pages are far too small to see what's on them in that view.

    I would really welcome a nice way to scroll through pages faster in writing mode.

  14. The ability to import a pdf as a smaller file/image similar to the way Notability lets you import scanned pdfs by giving you two options of either importing it as an image or importing it as a full-scale pdf would be an amazing feature. GoodNotes seems to make it imperative that something must be scanned instead of imported from another source in order to recognize text. This is the case at least when importing images or pdfs that were not OCR'd and have unrendered text in them.

    I feel like this proposal would be helpful, in that, it would allow…

  15. Image Occlusion is a simple but very useful feature. With Image Occlusion, I can draw a box to cover up labels on a diagram. If I tap on the box, the box becomes invisible and the answer gets revealed. If I tap again, the box becomes opaque and the answer gets covered up again.

    There should also be a button to cover up all of the answers at once or reveal them all at once. When I’m done studying for the day, I want to cover up all of the answers, in order to pick up my studying next time.…

  17. For example, I work on my laptop with a document and close it, and then I want to open it on my iPad to continue working with the document, with this button you can force a sync, and I don't need to wait when it happens automatically

  18. Please add the ability to edit keyboard shortcuts. I have a very specific setup and being able to assign keys where I want them is a very important factor in workflow.

    I am glad there is keyboard support at all, but I can't imagine this is beyond the ability of your staff to add.

  20. The book I am studying has Roman numerals (I-II-III) at the beginning. Then, Arabic numerals would start (1-2-3). What’s frustrating is when I want to search for Arabic numeral page “14” in GoodNotes, it’ll take me to Arabic numeral page “2” instead.

    I attached a photo.

    Adding the option to renumber pages to Roman numerals would help this make page searching that much easier. Adding the option to unnumbered pages would help too! Sometimes I add regular notebook page in-between the other pages in order to write my own detailed notes.

    I attached a mock-up of how the thumbnails tab…
