  1. I love the possibility for bulleted and numbered lists, but would love more options like stars or smaller dots or squares. just more customisation in the text documents. like being able to change background colour maybe.

  2. 기본 펜을 볼펜으로 사용하는데 앱 나갔다 들어올 때마다 볼펜으로 설정해놨던 거를 기억 못해서 매번 바꾸는 게 너무 번거로워요. 빠른 피드백 부탁드립니다. 업데이트 전에는 안 이랬어요

  3. FREE ROTATE ON PAGES!!!!

    Moving the physical iPad from side to side is NOT efficient. Being able to freely rotate a page to write at an angle would be SO much more helpful, when taking notes, doodling, or simply to look at the notes from a different angle.... I really would love to see this implimented as this is the biggest flaw goodnotes has as a program!

  4. Eigene Schriftarten sollten wieder als Stanard festlegbar sein & andere Schriftarten schneller erreichbar sein, damit man zwischen diesen schnell hin und her springen kann. So wie es eben vorher war.

  5. When I'm looking for specific notes, I typically use the search tool to find a particular word or topic. However, most of my notes consist of photos from the textbook and written notes; the search bar, unfortunately, never finds words that are in photos and only works with handwritten notes. I would love for the search bar to improve and search for words on images and handwritten notes.

  6. Hand drawing could be improved massively with a horizontal and vertical mirroring tool. Technical and scheme drawing would be much cleaner and faster.

  8. Been a subscriber on goodnotes for almost two years and I only used milanotes for whiteboards, however the difference is huge and making it hard for me to switch completely

    Im not asking for all milanotes features (but hey id love that), but just make it less bland and nore pleasing to the eyes. being able to center the text like we want, shadows on sticky notes, color background features and overall just making it more pleasing to the eye and more freedom to custom our board like in milanote

  9. Please re-enable macOS inline suggestions (math auto-calculation when typing 1+1=). This feature works in all native macOS apps and greatly improves typing. it would be extremely helpful to add a macOS-native text mode or option to re-enable inline suggestions

  11. The font on the flash card should be able to be edited, and/or you should be able to scroll through the text on the flash card if the entire text is not readable on the card.

  13. It would be really helpful if you could type like on word with regular line break and just leave space for drawing/graphics. That would be perfect

  14. With the new update, the ways that images get/don’t get selected is weird. The icon in the toolbar is only for inserting, whereas before I would use it to move and edit my images, and I would have the lasso deselected for images so I wouldn’t accidentally edit my background/template. Now I still have images deselected because I don’t want to move images while I’m moving something else, but now instead of using the image icon I have to hit the pen tool and select there, which seems to defeat the purpose? I just don’t get why I can select…

  15. Make the writing in pictures permanent, and move with the pictures if I rearrange them. It is very frustrating trying to use this feature when every little thing, moves what I have written to the background or simply moves it to another part of the picture/page where I do not want it.

    I literally only use Notability for this feature since they do not have this problem, and I wish to finally switch completely to Goodnotes!

  16. please add support for e-ink tablets - particulary boox, the highly popular boox air 4c doesnt seem to support it even though its android. Just says not supported by browser.. these e-ink tablets are really popular. I bought a subscription to goodnotes as i assumed it would run on android.. it will on a basic android tablet but not on these e-ink android-based ones like boox.

  17. It would be great if transcriptions could be in "tabs" that you can extend and collapse. I've noticed that when I make multiple transcriptions in a notebook they all tend to get mixed into one large transcription. It would be great if they could be kept seperate and if we could copy the whole transcription of a single section/tab rather than everything that has been transcribed in the notebook.

    Hope that makes sense!

  19. Every Good Notes Essential plan bought since September 23rd 2025 (previously called "All Platforms Yearly" doesn't enable the user to sync their files between Apple and Windows/Android. So the users basically have two separate apps.
    That is absolutely useless.

    The advantage was to access and edit the files on different devices.

    For example: It is way easier for me to type flashcards on my windows laptop than on my iPad but I can't even open them on my laptop if I export them (wich already would be inconvenient). So I can't use them together. Study Sets aren't even supported for…

    1. AI Text-to-Handwriting Transformation:
      It would be great to have an AI feature option that transforms typed text into your handwriting style when pasted into GoodNotes. This feature would ensure your notes look personalized and maintain a consistent handwriting style, even when using typed text.

    2. AI-Powered Handwriting Style Improvement:
      Another useful addition would be an AI model that improves your handwriting with AI in your writing style automatically as you write with the Apple Pencil. This feature would enhance legibility while keeping your unique handwriting style.
