  1. Different users have unique needs from a note taking software which practically isn't possible to cover in a single app UI by developers. Therefore, two MODES, a MINIMAL/SIMPLE and an ADVANCED/PRO mode should be made. The simple mode should have about the same features as Goodnotes has right now and would be able to serve the general users. The advanced mode should let users customise their app UI as well as toolbars, tools, quick features, icons positions and ribbon placements and a lot of other features as per their need. This can be revolutionary as it'll cover all types of…

  2. Now that audio recording is available, you also need to add functionality to allow the audio to be exported out of the note as a separate mp3. I use this function on another note-taking program so that I can have the audio transcribed. I can't use Good Notes for my job until this is possible, so I'm staying tuned to see if this is added in the future. Not sure if other people are this specific. Adding this and voting for all the suggestions that are close to this idea.

  3. It would be great if you could select the default highlight color depending on the document you're in, so that if you highlight using the text selection for multiple lines, you can have it in the colour you wish, and not always yellow. It's a bit tiresome to have to change the colour to your own preference every time

  4. I love the save as default feature, but depending on the document I will use one size or the other. It would be great to have a default font per document, just as you can choose one template per document and do not have to change it every time I write

  5. Similar to how you can type notes for specific slides on a powerpoint, this feature would allow you to type notes beside the document, not on the actual document. This feature could live in the sidebar of the document and be collapsable when not in use. For example, If you were using Goodnotes online or on the desktop app, you would be able to more efficiently type notes that correspond to each page without having to mess with text boxes, which often slow down workflow (espically if you are typing notes during class).

  6. When viewing outlines, if the name for the outline is long, the user can only see only a few words (around 2-3 words). I wish goodnotes could add a function to adjust the sidebar width on Mac.

  7. 既存のノートに、スクラップ帳のように画像を取り込んで、その上から文字を書き込む使い方をよくするのですが、その時に、誤タップや投げ縄ツールで取り込んだ画像を選択してしまい、画像が動いてノートがぐちゃぐちゃになってしまうことがあります。そこで、ページ上の特定の画像のみを「編集不可状態」に出来るようにすることで、「取り込んだ画像に対する書き込み」の快適性を格段に高めることができると考えました。ご検討ください。

  8. I travel a lot and am randomly signed out of my Goodnotes account. When this happens and I don’t have internet, I am unable to access any of my notes, despite the fact that they’re downloaded to my iPhone and/or iPad. Is there a way to continue to access my Goodnotes notes when signed out and without Internet access??

  9. I am using Goodnotes on MacOS 12.6 and there are no updates that work with my version of the mac. My notebooks are not getting updated on iCloud.
    At least fix it so we don't always need the latest version to have our files synchronized across all devices...

  10. A button to configure a specific card to be reviewed with both the question first, or the answer, helping us to study cards in both directions, as already used in some flash card apps.

    Would also be ideal to be able to use the tape on the flash card questions, if tape is implemented.

  11. It would be cool if we could bulk import pen/pencil/highlight colors. To click through as you add is a bit time consuming.

    Also, I think we should have different pen types. My handwriting looked phenomenal on the pages app but I love Goodnotes so I’m sticking with it.

  13. Dear GoodNotes Team,

    I am an avid user of GoodNotes and greatly appreciate the page linking feature. However, I would like to propose a few improvements to streamline this functionality.

    Currently, generating a page link requires navigating to the previous page of the target page, creating and copying the link, and then deleting the text box afterward. This workflow feels unnecessarily cumbersome.

    It would be incredibly helpful if you could add an option to copy the link of the current page directly from the “More” menu. Additionally, having a shortcut key for this function would enhance usability even further.

    Thank…

  14. I’m working on a university project and need reliable statistics on child abduction cases in Minnesota. I'm particularly interested in recent trends, different types of abductions, and demographic data. If anyone knows of credible sources—like government reports, studies, or databases—that provide detailed info on this topic, I’d really appreciate your recommendations. It’s been tough finding accurate data! Thanks in advance for any assistance!

  15. En la función de tiras estaría muy bien tener una opción que permita cubrir/descubrir todas las tiras a la vez en lugar de ir una por una.

  19. I would love to see continuous numbering across pages in the numbered list format on the typing side of Goodnotes. It drives me a little bit crazy that my list numbers start over when I need to continue onto a new page and my list starts back at "1."!!!

  20. I would like to have an "AI Pencil Enhancement" option Pencil within the GoodNotes pencil bar. This feature would leverage AI to transform rough sketches into refined drawings with clean lines, consistent shapes, and enhanced details. Users could customize the level of refinement and choose from various drawing styles. Such as the Feature Apple presented from Apple Intelligence at WWDC 24.
