1. Keyboard Support for Math Equations

   I'm genuinely surprised this feature hasn't been implemented yet—or perhaps I’ve missed something. As far as I can tell, there’s currently no way to input math equations directly using the keyboard. This is a significant limitation, especially for Mac users who don't have the option to handwrite equations.

   It would be incredibly useful to have a way to insert math equations inline with text when typing, similar to how tools like Notion or Typora support LaTeX or KaTeX syntax—for example, by wrapping equations in $...$.

   Given that Goodnotes already supports rendering math via handwriting recognition, the logic for equation parsing and rendering seems to be in place. It feels like this feature should be relatively straightforward to implement, and it would greatly enhance the experience for those who prefer or need to type their content.

3. Innovative Study Feature: Color-Based Toggle for Hiding/Showing Annotations (Killer Feature for Students)

   Feature Suggestion for GoodNotes: Color-Based Review/Masking Mode
   Subject: Innovative Study Feature: Color-Based Toggle for Hiding/Showing Annotations (Killer Feature for Students)
   1. Background and User Need
   I am a long-time user of iPhones and MacBooks, yet I prioritize using the Samsung Galaxy Tab because of its superior writing feel and the ability to instantly annotate PDFs. I am currently preparing for professional exams, which requires intensive review and memorization.

   To optimize my study routine, I use a physical method similar to a 'secret pen', where I hide the answers and solutions for efficient self-testing. Implementing this concept into GoodNotes would create a massive competitive advantage and drastically improve the learning efficiency for all students and test-takers.

   1. Proposed Feature: Color-Based Toggle for Hiding/Showing Ink I propose adding a 'Color-Based Masking/Review Toggle' feature to GoodNotes.

   How it Works:

   Setting: Introduce a dedicated setting (e.g., within the Pen Tool Palette or a separate menu) called 'Color Masking Mode'.

   Toggle Action: The user selects specific pen colors (e.g., Red, Pink, Highlight Yellow) and designates them as 'Hidden' colors.

   When the global 'Review Toggle' switch is activated (e.g., a simple button on the toolbar):

   All annotations written in the designated 'Hidden' colors instantly disappear from the screen.

   Toggling the switch again makes the hidden ink reappear immediately.

   1. Key Use Case (From a Test-Taker's Perspective) Preparation: Open a practice test PDF. Write the correct answers in Red and brief explanations in Pink.

   Repeated Study: Activate the 'Review Toggle' to instantly make the Red and Pink ink disappear. This provides a clean, blank test paper for quick re-testing without the need to duplicate or erase the PDF.

   Instant Check: After self-testing, toggle the switch off to re-display the Red answers and Pink explanations in 1 second, allowing for lightning-fast answer verification.

   1. Expected Benefits Maximized Learning Efficiency: Eliminates the need to duplicate $\text{PDF}$s or tediously erase and rewrite answers, saving significant study time.

   Competitive Edge: This is a unique feature currently absent from major competitor note-taking apps. It would serve as a powerful 'Killer Feature' to attract the large and lucrative market of students and professional exam candidates to GoodNotes.

   High User Satisfaction: This function addresses a core pain point for GoodNotes' primary user base, ensuring high practical utility and satisfaction.

   This function has the potential to revolutionize digital note-taking for academic and professional preparation. Thank you for your time and consideration.

4. Issue with different types of documents

   What was the point of dividing typing and writing. There are so many more apps that are better for writing or typing separately. What I liked about Goodnotes is that it didn’t have the hassle of typing a paragraph, printing it or using a different app to make notes on it. For now I will use Word and Notability. I hope there is a way to fix this otherwise I just wasted my money on goodnoted for nothing.

5. Formelschreibfunktion

   Mann kann ja bereits eine mathematische Formel auswählen, in eine Formel umwandeln und danach bearbeiten. Dies ist allerdings sehr kompliziert, da man Funktionen we /fraq oder /phi nicht aus dem Kopf weiß. Man könnte eine Fromelfunktion einfügen, bei der man wie bei einem Taschenrechner verschiedene Funktionen wie einen Bruchstrich oder Wurzel oder hoch und tief schreiben für quadrat ^2, kubik^3 und so weiter sowie eine Suchleiste für Funktionen.

   When the device is on dark mode, have text and pdfs invert colors (similar to apple notes and new dark mode on notability).

9. Add Built-in Image Quality Enhancement

   Feature Request:

   Dear Developers,

   I would like to request a built-in image quality enhancement feature for the note-taking app. Imported images often become blurry due to screenshotting or file transfer issues, which affects the reading and viewing experience in notes.

   This feature could include (but not be limited to) AI super-resolution technology—capable of sharpening blurry details, reducing pixelation, and improving overall clarity of imported images. It would greatly enhance the usability of the app when managing image-containing notes, especially for users who frequently add screenshots or transferred images.

   Thank you for considering this request!

10. Better Text Editor - Like Notion

    Notion like document editor. On which I can annotate with pencil. Code format text, colored text, checkbox, toggle and much more like in notion. The current text editor is too rigid. It must be made a bit more user friendly.

11. Directly Import PowerPoints

    Notability allows you to drag and drop PowerPoints. To use Goodnotes, I have to open the PowerPoint, export it as a PDF (you must be a Microsoft 365 subscriber to do this), and then import it to Goodnotes. Since all my lectures are PowerPoints, I uses Notability solely because I don't have to open ~15 PowerPoints to export them as PDFs every week.

12. bring back the arrow keys to move the cursor when typing

    I use goodnotes without an external keyboard and I found extremely useful the left/right arrow keys to move the cursor when typing because many times it is not easy to place the cursor exactly in the desired position.

    Can you bring them back?

14. Add packages for new symbols for math mode

    Add a way for users to add new packages to the preambles of the LaTeX used for the AI, sometimes we just want to use a new symbol and can’t make it because the math mode won’t recognize it. It would be really helpful.

16. copiable markdown format

    As a beta user, I surprisingly find that text mode is available for markdown format. However, when trying to copy what I wrote to other program like obsidian etc, everything ruined. This is a disaster for user who use different software in different platforms!!!!

17. callout

    I would like to see the ability to add a callout to a notebook page. This would be a small colored block on which text could be written or typed with an arrow or other indicator to a point on the page. This would be similar to a GN post-it note, but it would have an arrow associated with it. My thought is that it would be useful for the callout to be low opacity until it is touched, at which time it would have 100% opacity so it can be read, and then when touched again would return to low opacity. This would make the underlying notes easy to read under the callout. there also could be an option for the opacity always to be high.

    Callouts are useful when adding comments or notes to content, either to oneself or to collaborators. They are sort of like an informal footnote.

    Callouts are common in Word, Acrobat and several other reader/editors, with various shapes for the box and the location indicator. Those should be reviewed for alternative appearances.

18. palettes

    I love the app and use it daily across iPad + Windows. But I’m hitting the same wall every single session: there’s no way to save separate, named pen color palettes for different contexts.

    My workflow swings between:

    White backgrounds (lecture slides, lab reports) → darker inks

    Black backgrounds (my own notes) → lighter/pastel inks

    Right now I’m forced to maintain one long presets strip and manually hunt/eyedropper colors each time. It’s slow, error-prone, and breaks focus. After months of this, it’s honestly pretty frustrating because color is a core UX primitive in note-taking.

    What I’m asking for (minimum viable solution):

    Named palettes (e.g., “Light Paper,” “Dark Paper,” “Highlighters”).

    Per-document palette memory (a notebook remembers which palette it last used).

    Quick toggle (one tap / keyboard shortcut / long-press on the color dot to switch palettes).

    Auto-switch by paper color (optional: when the page/background is dark, default to a designated “Light Inks” palette).

    Import/Export palettes so I can share between iPad, Mac, Windows, and teammates.

    Even just (1) + (2) would remove dozens of taps per day and keep me in flow. I’m a student in engineering; the time savings and reduction in accidental low-contrast marks would be massive across long study sessions.

    Happy to provide a short Loom of the current workaround and test any beta. Please escalate this to product/UX—this feels like one of those small features that compounds into a huge quality-of-life win for a lot of us.

    Thanks for listening, and for building a great app. I really want to keep Goodnotes as my daily driver—this would make that choice easy.
