  2. Goodnotes for Academic Papers!
    I know a lot of researches who use Goodnotes for Papers these features would improve the experience immensely:
    - different identifier fields, not just title but Author(s), year, category
    - Endnote Plugin
    -Research rabbit plugin
    -ArXiv plugin

    And I said it before:
    I need to be able to search in a folder not search everything, everywhere, all at once

  3. Bring back recent fonts section for text. I have multiple fonts I switch between constantly and use to be able to do it easily before the new update, now only the last custom font I used and a few random fonts I never use show up and the rest I need to scroll to find every time. Please make an option to have a recent or favorites font section easily accessible. Also please put the set as default button in a quicker and easier to locate spot. The steps it takes to find it is ridiculous.

  4. An AI Feature that can convert your typed text into your handwritten Notes in your own handwriting style, if you paste the typed text in Goodnotes and press the new button to convert it into handwriting (like in the picture), so it can seamlessly adapt to your other handwritten notes.

  7. I’d love to see an option that would allow GoodNotes to edit hand written notes using ai. Ai could detect/ view your overall handwriting style. When hand written notes are written more messy or not perfectly straight or if the letters are slightly bigger then good notes would fix it making it more neat, straight and same size. It would save the user so much more time from having to rewrite notes to make them straighter or having them be converted to text which most of the time the full sentence isn’t converted correctly so you have to edit it…

  9. I’ve been dealing with a persistent issue for about 8 months now, and it’s becoming a dealbreaker. My iPad Air 11 gets excessively hot and the battery drains at an alarming rate whenever I’m using Goodnotes.

    This has been happening since the very first day I bought the iPad. I have already tried disabling the handwriting recognition and the dictionary/indexing features, but unfortunately, it didn't help at all.

    I am very concerned about the long-term impact on my device. Constant exposure to high temperatures is detrimental to battery health and can lead to permanent hardware degradation. It's disappointing that a…

  10. Open Practice should have a timer and auto flip function.
    Scenario:
    You want a quick run through of the material but remain accountable. You start the timer. You get 2 minutes to look at the question and then it flips to the answer. It refreshes your memory without allowing you to skip thinking. Plus its hands free.

  11. Currently, when creating new Whiteboards or notebooks, the default naming convention is "Whiteboard 1, 2, 3...". For students who need to organize notes by specific identifiers—such as "Q1, Q2" for exam problems—manually renaming each file is extremely tedious and inefficient.

    I would like to suggest two improvements to the workflow:

    Batch Rename Feature: Implement a feature similar to the "Rename" tool in macOS Finder, allowing users to select multiple files and apply a consistent naming rule (replace text, add prefixes/suffixes, or use sequential numbering).

    Customizable Default Naming: Allow users to change the default prefix. For example, being able to change…

  12. I would like to justify my text so that everything is aligned please - to make proper revision notes and documents!!

    Maybe even drop versions with columns more intuitively as well!

  13. It's very annoying, the hover effect they recently added to GoodNotes on Windows. Visually, it makes my eyes get tired quickly when I move the mouse over the document.

  14. Ich finde GoodNotes wirklich toll, und tatsächlich sogar besser als One Note von Microsoft. Aber eine wichtige Funktion fehlt mir, das Einfügen von Musikdateien und Videos, oder die Implementierung von YouTube- Videos. Ich benötige als Lehrer dieses Funktion unbedingt. Dann ist das Arbeiten im Whiteboard wirklich eine angenehme Sache.

  15. It would be great to have a setting that would cause the notebook to open to the last page. I use my notebooks to study and take notes on books I read, so each notebook has more then a few pages.

  16. It would be amazing to be able to drag and drop our own Goodnotes text documents directly into our notebooks to embed them as a live, linked file.

    When organizing materials, it is much cleaner and more comfortable to paste external texts, update definitions, and format paragraphs inside a dedicated text file rather than directly in a standard notebook. However, when it comes to studying, we absolutely need the notebook environment to highlight, draw arrows, and write handwritten annotations.

    Currently, if we update the source text, we are forced to re-import it, which destroys all our manual highlighting and notes.…

  17. A recent update made it so that if I draw 2 differently colored lines originating from the same point and then connected them with a 3rd differently colored line it converts the original 2 lines to be that 3rd color. As a math/engineering student this makes it impossible for me to draw things like vectors with 2 different colors because the app will just automatically convert them to the same color. Please revert this change!

  18. When I’m writing with my apple pencil I’m constantly accidentally activating the paste, zoom, comment, link long press menu with my fingers, I never use this menu, so I think it would be helpful to be able to disable it in the palm rejection settings menu.

  19. While Goodnotes is world-class for note-taking and PDF annotation, the flashcard creation and editing interface feels outdated and clunky by comparison. The UI is unintuitive and lacks the fluid editing experience found in the rest of the app.

    Furthermore, the current 'Smart Learn' mode is not advanced enough for high-volume users. I would like to see a true Spaced Repetition System (SRS) implemented—similar to Anki’s algorithm—where cards are shown based on specific difficulty levels and memory retention. At the very least, please allow us to customize these intervals. For medical students, having a programmable and efficient flashcard system is essential…

  20. Goodnotes is an amazing tool for handwriting, but its Flashcard system feels isolated. Currently, compatibility with other apps is non-existent because the app only accepts and exports its own format.
    I want to be able to share my materials with friends who use different platforms and vice versa. It would be a game-changer if Goodnotes allowed us to export/import sets in common formats (like those used by Anki). In a high-stakes environment like medical school, interoperability isn't just a 'plus'—it’s a necessity. Please stop the format lock-in and let us study collaboratively!
