  1. In study sets it is only possible to use blank pages, but I would like to use other templates for them

  2. Goodnotes outdoes every other note taking app and is hands down my favorite BUT I keep going back to Apple Notes because I just love how the calligraphy pen/pressure just flows and writes amazing!

    Please update the pens to offer better pressure and writing. Please add better options! Please make the fountain pen to be more like Apple Notes. I just don’t feel any of the options you guys offer allow for appealing daily writing for notes and journaling.

    If Apple Notes offered everything you did I would delete the Goodnotes app just alone for the pen/writing options.

  3. Goodnotes for Mac would be an awesome presentation tool if you could hide the toolbar etc. and just show the content whilst in editing mode. Similar effect to "Mirror Presenter Page" on iPad.

    With the one key shortcuts to change tools and a small Wacom tablet and pen it would be great to annotate PDFs and then move on the next slide.

  4. Having separate tools active for finger actions and pen actions would save on manual tool switching, thus saving time and unnecessary effort. In my personal case I’d like to able to have a separate tool for my Apple Pen (Pen tool for note taking), then instantly being able to highlight a line just by using my finger, without the effort of manually switching tools. Furthermore, using the finger to select and drag, or place a sticker or image. I know that you can switch between tools with double tapping the Apple Pen, but that is generally reserved for erasing, this…

  5. When taking collaborative notes in lectures only the user recording can “play recording” on their notes. It would be great if it also did it to the other user (but all in one recording). So one person records it synced the lecture notes from both users into the recording.

  8. Ability to scroll differently for separate documents! I would love to be able to scroll vertically/ horizontally for different documents. Some documents I prefer vertically and some horizontally, but it's a hassle to have to change the direction everytime.

  9. Sometimes it takes you one page before, sometimes it takes you to the absolute beginning of your folders. Terrible. Bring back the old one. Why did they fix something that wasn't broken?

  10. (This used to be a previous feature, now taken away) When importing a file, I want to import it into the folder I'm currently in, instead of it taking me all the way back to the main Documents page and me having to click through all the folders again to find the spot I was already at where I wanted the file to go. I don't know why they took this feature away, but that was a mistake on their part.

  11. There are basically 3 pen thickness slots, eraser slots, and highlighter thickness slots, so I'd like to have additional thickness slots and eraser slots.

  12. I have changed my Tablet from iPad to Lenovo Tap and I can't download it on the new tablet. I think, it is helpful if Goodnotes also support Android and not just ios

  13. most importantly, it should be possible to export the flashcards to a pdf for two reasons:
    1. So it is possible to search for certain words (so you can see if you already have that flashcard)
    2. So it is possible to print the flashcards!

  16. Integrate a sophisticated AI chatbot, akin to ChatGPT, accessible via a “Chatbot” button in the menu bar. This AI assistant can understand and analyze all notes taken within GoodNotes, providing users with an array of functionalities:

    1.  Answering Questions: Users can ask questions about their notes, and the chatbot will provide accurate and context-aware answers based on the content.
    2.  Summarizing Notes: The chatbot can summarize selected handwritten or typed notes, offering concise overviews.
    3.  Contextual Information: It can offer additional information or explanations related to the content of the notes, enhancing learning and understanding.
    4.  Task Automation: The chatbot

  17. It would be nice to be able to store files (notebooks yes, but also elements!) either in iCloud, some other cloud, or in a GoodNotes cloud system, and have them accessible and editable on device.

    I have very limited space on my iPad, but i have several notebooks, and I have TONS of stickers that I would love to add to my elements. The problem is that I do not have the space for it on my iPad at all... However I do have space in cloud storage. Now I have to use iCloud and add png files to Goodnotes…

  18. I loved notability for this but I prefer Goodnotes for note taking, but we could adjust the spacing between the lines on lined paper. I find the spacing on Goodnotes narrow lined paper is too large for me and I’d love to be able to adjust it.

  19. On Android and Web, currently the download filename differs from the name of the notebook. It would be good if both is the same.

  20. I use Goodnotes for all of my graduate studies. Part of this includes labeling anatomical structures, and I wish there were an easy way to white-out labels to study and practice. There is a feature on KiloNotes that allows this and would love for it to be featured here! I’m sure all my fellow healthcare students would agree. I would seriously consider switching from the sheer amount of time saved.
