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…

Organisation Tab
I really like the Idea of a coloration Tab or planning tab. So that I can give myself tasks with deadlines, have a calender for exams etc.
If I then could invite people to join my project where I can assign tasks like in other Apps (see notion, microsoft teams or asana).
All in all I want a feature where I cannot only work but plan and get reminded for my work without using a second app.1 vote -
Video clips and more writing tools and drag and drop of specfic page to my mind map
Everything is good I mainly use Goodnotes for mind mapping my lectures the only hindrance I faced that I was not able to add video clips to my notes, and also when I import PDF of my lecture notes in good notes. I can’t just drag and drop pages from like a specific slide to directly into my Notes, which is like a another hindrance because I have to take screenshot again and again and then put it back in. Also, this one is not a criticism, but a suggestion that there could be more tools for writing. It would…

Enable Text Highlighting with Mouse on iPadOS
Dear Goodnotes Team,
I’d like to share some feedback regarding the use of a mouse in the iPadOS version of Goodnotes.
Currently, when using the app on a MacBook, it’s possible to highlight text with a mouse. However, on the iPad, this functionality is not available. If you’re using an iPad with a mouse and keyboard setup, you have to physically move the iPad closer, pick up the Apple Pencil, and only then can you highlight text.
This makes the experience less seamless, especially for users who prefer a desktop-like setup with their iPad.
I’d like to suggest that you…

Notebook Synchronization
Integrating a synchronization button within the three dots menu of a notebook would help synchronize it when working on it from a laptop or iPad, as there is a synchronization delay between the two devices. This would allow the user to avoid going back to the main menu to synchronize the notebook and then return to their work.

Auto-Scroll-Funktion
Sehr geehrtes GoodNotes-Team,
ich nutze GoodNotes bereits seit einigen Jahren und bin insgesamt sehr zufrieden mit der App – insbesondere mit dem übersichtlichen und intuitiven Interface. Dafür möchte ich Ihnen zunächst ein großes Lob aussprechen.
Im Rahmen dieses Feedbacks möchte ich gerne eine Funktion anregen: Eine Auto-Scroll-Option für Notizen. Konkret stelle ich mir vor, dass Inhalte automatisch in einem einstellbaren Tempo nach unten scrollen können – idealerweise ab einem frei wählbaren Startpunkt.
Diese Funktion wäre beispielsweise beim Lesen längerer Texte sehr hilfreich, da man nicht ständig manuell scrollen müsste. Besonders nützlich wäre sie auch beim Musizieren mit digitalen Noten: Wenn…

Floating sticky notes in margins
l want to request sticky notes or comments that can be in the margins or in the sidebar, independent of being linked to a single page. Imagine having a sticky note on your desk with reminders or instructions that you put next to your notebook. in this particular context, I want to have the instructions for an assignment posted outside of the page that I can refer to at any point to make sure I’m on the right track.

I'd like Goodnotes to expand its support to all Android smartphones, even if it's only for previews.
This is my first request, and since this is a machine translation, the English might be unnatural. Anyway, I would like Goodnotes to be supported on all Android smartphones, even if it's just for previews. While the iPad is convenient for almost all Goodnotes use cases, it's honestly not suitable for quick, casual viewing. Therefore, even if it's only for document previews, I would like Goodnotes to be compatible with all Android smartphones.

Automatic Handwriting enhancement / Erase and Tags
Hello,
Would it be possible to add an automatic handwriting enhancement feature, similar to the one offered by Apple Note?
And also to be able to erase by long-pressing with the Apple Pencil, like in Notability, for example.
These two features would be a fantastic addition to Goodnotes!
Another thing: a tag system for finding files more efficiently.
Thank you in advance to the Goodnotes development team if they read this message.
Have a good day!2 votes -
pdf
It would be great if PDF files could be imported without becoming a separate page, but rather so that they appear on the interface similar to notes and can be resized.
For example, you could insert additional PDFs into a school script that provide further information on the topic and can be stored there.
This way, the PDFs can be minimised for storage and then enlarged for reading.2 votes -

Eraser that rubs off pen(like writings) ON the tape
As an a level student, found tape feature very useful, but its very annoying when you right over the tape(I study by hiding key words in notes by using tape, and fill them by pen) and try to rub off the pen on the tape, there is no feature for that.
There is a feature for removing highlighters or tapes, but not specifically pen on the tape, hope it changes, as it makes studies less efficient.

Floating views
When working on math it is very common to have a formula that you need to reference often. At the moment we always just have to either zoom out, or keep scrolling back to the section we wrote it in.
It would be great if we could do some kind of rectangular selection and have just that section of the page become a floating popup window (perhaps as a small square on the opposite side of our writing hand?) showing the contents that we selected, so that we dont have to keep awkwardly navigating through all the pages.
And maybe…

Pet
I wanted to have a pet that will be on your screen where you can interact with it and you can study with it. Also you can get snacks/change its appearances the more you study/write notes.

Easy notes for existing Calendar entries
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.1 vote -
Search when adding linked pages
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.

Presentation Mode fails when using Slide Over, Split View, or Stage Manager
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.

[Import] Vertical Auto Layout for PDF Import in Whiteboards
When importing a multi page PDF into a GoodNotes whiteboard, the pages are currently placed off to the right and arranged in a grid like layout. This forces users to manually reposition every page to create a readable top to bottom flow.
For large lecture PDFs or study materials, this manual reorganization is inefficient and time consuming.
A significant improvement would be an automatic vertical layout option where PDF pages are imported in a single straight column, stacked from top to bottom, similar to continuous scroll behavior. Ideally, this would be the default behavior, with an optional toggle to switch…

Text document
・I want to be able to lay out images more freely in text documents. For example, if you reduce the size, you can arrange photos next to it.
・I want to insert a saved video on my device instead of a link.
・I find it convenient to be able to preview links on both text documents and whiteboards.
・I would like the image to be compatible with Live Photos.
