Upgrade GoodNotes 5
Hi!
I’m a student still using GoodNotes 5 and I really love it. ❤️
Unfortunately, not everyone can afford to upgrade to GoodNotes 6, so I kindly ask if you could add a few small updates to version 5 — like more pen settings or simple improvements. Nothing big, just small things to help students like me.
Thank you so much for your amazing app! 🙏✨2 votes -
Hint
I would love to see a hint option added to the study cards. I believe it would add to the effectiveness of the memorizing process for many of us. Sometimes I just need a word or two to get me pointed in the right direction.

margins
Please make the templates editable. For example I like a margin but I find it's too wide. I'd like the templates to be editable such that you can have a smaller or larger margin as needed.

Align and space shapes
Love the new shapes tool but it would very useful if shapes (or in a broader sense also all other objects like images, text, stickers, etc.) could be aligned and spaced out evenly to make notes look more professional.
Also the option to eg. center elements on the page via an x/y axis. There could be an option to turn automatic snapping/ guidelines on or off.
It is very difficult to eyeball objects to be consistently spaced and aligned and often results in pages not looking consistent.

Number notebooks automatically/ Index
The option to add page numbers to the notebook in a selected font/size and to also add an Index/ Table of Contents that shows up within the document. Similar to how it is in word or other word processing Programs, just a bit simplified.
Basically the option to add the "outline" as a "table of contents page" within the note book and to show numbers on each page correspondingly.

Import PDF as a study set
There are multiple ways of doing this:
(A) Chop each page in half: top half becomes the ‘image’ for question, bottom half becomes the ‘image’ for answer.
(B) Two pages per flashcard, one for question and one for answer (maybe do this if pdf is in landscape mode).This would be immensely helpful as currently you can only import text, which is an issue if your flash cards have diagrams or render LaTeX.

Request to Add a Feature for Converting Regular Documents into Text Documents
Request to Add a Feature for Converting Regular Documents into Text Documents
Currently, there is a feature that allows regular documents to be converted into whiteboard documents, but there is no option to convert them into text documents. I believe it would be very helpful to add a feature that allows regular documents to be converted directly into text documents.
For example, when working with scanned documents, some characters are not always correctly recognized by OCR. In such cases, it becomes difficult to search the content or effectively use AI features. If users could convert a regular document into a…

Request to Increase Page Limit When Converting Regular Documents to Whiteboard
Request to Increase Page Limit When Converting Regular Documents to Whiteboard
When converting a regular document to a whiteboard, the page limit is currently restricted to about 20–25 pages. However, these days many lecture materials exceed 100 pages, and in some cases—especially for law-related subjects—they can easily go beyond 300 pages. I strongly suggest increasing this page limit.
In addition, when a document is converted to a whiteboard, the content is currently transferred only as images. It would be much more useful if text recognition (OCR) were also applied during the conversion process, allowing the text to be selectable and…

Shape autofill
I used to use the shape snap feature when writing notes. Previously the shape would automatically fill in with a less opaque colour, and I had the option to erase the filled colour using the erase tool, or leave it but change the colour(both of which I used on different occasions). In the new update I can't erase or change the filled in colour and my only options are to disable the autofill colour altogether, or to just ignore it. I don't understand why this feature was removed.

Screen record
It would be extremely helpful if GoodNotes supported video recording of the note-taking process, including screen capture and optional audio recording. This feature could allow users to:
• Record lectures or self-explanations while writing
• Rewatch how notes were created step by step
• Create educational content or revision videos directly within the appSuch a feature would be especially beneficial for students, teachers, and content creators who use GoodNotes as their primary digital notebook.
I believe this addition would further strengthen GoodNotes as a leading tool for education and productivity. Thank you for considering this suggestion and for continuously…

PDF Accessibility
When exporting PDFs into and out of Goodnotes, accessibility features like alt text on images, reading pane orders, etc. are totally lost. As an instructor, I have been using Goodnotes to annotate pdfs of notes in class, but I cannot post those annotated pdfs because they do not meet our University's accessibility standards. Exporting as editable or flattened files does not help with this.
Creating a PowerPoint and setting up accessibility info. in it is not difficult, and those translate perfectly to Adobe Acrobat and are recognized by Canvas. Ideally, it seems like Goodnotes handwriting recognition could essentially add alt.…

Create a workspace alongside the current document
Have you used Liquid Text?
Thay have an amazing feature where it is possible to pull extracts out of documents and display them on a workspace then link the ideas together with drawn lines or links.
Something like this, not the same obviously that worked with extracts, links and tags would be amazing.
Thanks for your hard work.

flashcard
Hi, as a language learner, i love the flashcard feature so much! But can you make some features so we can instantly dump our numerous list of vocabulary into one file? Maybe by a simple coding, where we can just copy-paste our list of vocabulary into flashcard. Cause now, it is taking so much time to navigate and make it one by one.
Thank you so much!

Better text box useage
I love using scribble to have my notes written in a different font but I wish we could have as much flexibility with the lasso tool as we do with normal hand writing. For example sometimes to I do my math homework on there and I want to move some of the variables down or move only one word from the sentence but when using the lasso tool with text box the whole text box moves even when I only circle one part.

search option to select location
search option for selecting location! when moving a file-doc, I often will not know the location of the file or folder to which i want to move. it is too time-consuming to search by clicking on folders to find the location I’m looking for. it would be great if there was a search window within the select, a location window!

Suggestion about adding an widget option in side bar.
I suggest adding a widget/tool option in side bar . This could include tools like a browser, AI tools, graph creators, calculators, and even custom or local AI tools. Any output from these tools shouldbe directly importable into notes. Also give us an option where, users could create and publish tools, and others could use or buy them as needed. This would make GoodNotes a complete all-in-one productivity app.
Hey guys upvote it please .to have soon this feature.1 vote -
Add PDF Editing Features to Correct Typos and Layout Issues
I often import lecture PDFs into GoodNotes to take notes and add annotations. However, the materials uploaded by professors or instructors are rarely 100% free of typos or layout errors. These mistakes can sometimes confuse GoodNotes AI, and when typos exist, I often end up importing a blank white page and manually re-typing the corrected text using the text or pen tools.
As PDF editing is becoming increasingly important, I would like to suggest adding built-in PDF editing features that allow users to directly correct typos and fix layout issues within PDFs. This would make it possible to view and…

Zooming out pdf
1.When we open a PDF, it always opens at 100% size. If I try to zoom out using two fingers, it automatically snaps back to full screen as soon as I release my fingers. But this doesn’t happen in other apps—zooming out there makes it easier to scroll through the PDF …It should zoom out the same way it does in the second picture, although I took that screenshot while holding it with my fingers
- Also, this app doesn’t have a separate option to change the background theme. It automatically uses the device’s theme, but there should be an independent…

Better Support for Comic and Manga Reading
I like reading comics and manga and marking them up. Goodnotes has the best markup I have tried. But there are some panels in the books that join into one, and when I import my PDFs I can only see half of the panel at once. I would like to be able to see two pages at once. Gapless would be ideal, but I imagine it makes sense for there to be a gap. A toggle would help.
Bonus Points if I can choose to read from right to left as well so I can read both comics and manga,…1 vote
