  1. When using GoodNotes in split-screen mode, I record audio on one side so I can listen to it later, while studying for a test on the other side. However, if I close the screen I’m studying on, the recording disappears. The same thing happens when I try to open a different document on the study side — the recording stops and disappears.

    This feature worked fine before the update and also in GoodNotes 5, so I really want this issue fixed immediately. It’s seriously affecting my test preparation, and I’m having a lot of trouble because of it. Please fix…

  2. It will be a big help for us, engineers, to flip/mirror a certain drawn object selected using lasso tool. Its a good feature for us since we always draw symmetrical figures.

  3. Allow the pen thickness adjustment have plus or minus options with/without slider
    Everytime it's annoying to adjust the slider for 0.05mm thickness with accuracy. It's time consuming to adjust stroke with careful slight movement.

  4. Allow users to adjust the pencil's pressure sensitivity. This pencil is hard to write in a solid stroke without the users putting a very strong force. Also polish the stroke's shape so that when it's thicker, the writing will not diffuse. Apple's own pencil stroke will be a great example.

  5. I wished I could insert equations into my flashcards in the text part. Just like how I would insert an equation in LaTeX... Since GoodNotes allows to convert handwritten text to LaTeX equations, it would be nice to insert the LaTeX code directly into the flashcard for studying formulae.

  7. I love the new tape feature but I have A LOT of content that I need to tape over at a time! I would really love it if we had the option to make a box around what we want to tape and have the shape snap and fill in (like we have for the shape snap feature). My only other option currently is to make the pen as big as possible and color over an entire paragraph at once which has been very time consuming!

  8. Enhanced search functionality with LLMs that can recognize handwritten notes, keywords, and phrases, and provide results even from scanned text. These LLMs should be capable of searching things with Natural written things in sentence in the search bar of GoodNotes, such like these example for photos from Apple in the Picture. So it understands the Context of what you are searching for. You can search with natural language.

  11. There are TONS of default fonts I will NEVER use but I have also downloaded a lot from iFont. However, I constantly have to weed through all the system fonts to get to the ones I use regularly to see which font looks best for a particular section of text.

  12. It would be a critical feature for to have a global color palette that can be used in both handwriting and text. Otherwise, we will have to do double entry for every custom color that we want to use in different tools.

  13. It would be great if there was the option to edit a flashcard while in practice/smart learn mode. Sometimes you spot errors while studying and when you do, at the moment you have to leave study mode and swipe through all your flashcards to fix it.

  14. I got GoodNotes for my Ipad and love it. I assume the account is associated with my Apple ID on the device. I have now downloaded your Windows app, but it gives me Microsoft or Google sign-in options... so I can't log into the Goodnotes account that my iPad is using. Could add an Apple ID sign-in option for the Windows app?

  15. In the new feature of smart study flashcards, the typing section is stuck with one font and one format. If I could explained with different colors, formatting subscripts/superscripts it’d be super convenient and imp[rove my experience. Thanks for all of y’all hardwork!

  16. When creating a study set, I wish I could zoom in or out of the screen. In particular, it is difficult to see the questions and answers at a glance because it is not reduced.

  17. Goodnotes for Android can be used without connection or offline system so that Android users can use Goodnotes for Android without connection if their house area is black out, getting emergency situation and getting remote working if their signal is off in their house area. Then Android users can write everything on Goodnotes for Android without connection or offline system in the future. Thank you.

  18. On the new update is now harder to quickly change the thickness of the pencil and hglg, would be great to slide from up to down on the icon that you press to open the thickness selector menu to quickly switch to the next thickness level and from down to up to the previous one.

    I'm a student who writes notes with lots of different thicknesses and colors, the new update made me more productive when switching colors but less productive when changing thicknesses

    There's a video with the desired gesture

  19. I think adding a tool for drawing curves for diagrams that for example engineering students must draw for their notes will be very helpful like the one exists in CollaNote.
