  1. I have been using GoodNotes for 2 years now and love it so much! However as someone who has terrible handwriting I use the write to text option everyday. I love it however why the heck does it not have color presets??? All the others writing options have it so why not the text option? This along with saving multiple default fonts, colors, and sizes. Thank you :)

  2. It would become much easier to create neat handwriting and notes that are functional and pleasing to look at. A feature in which you can adjust the stabilisation to your preferences and needs (similar to what Procreate offers) would be highly appreciated and helpful, especially to those who struggle with stable handwriting for medical reasons.

  3. I write with my Apple Pencil when doing notecards, and having lines would make them a lot neater. I spend an annoying amount of time adding them myself

  4. Hey team, I just wanted to suggest a new little feature that would benefit a lot of people, especially case users.
    I personally use a Logitech keyboard case with quite a thick lip around the screen of my iPad.
    I write with my right hand, and when getting to the right side, then it’s really uncomfortable and hard to write on the right edge of the page.
    My suggestion would be, to allow for the page to be able to be pulled into the screen, away from the edge. I know this wouldn’t be the most effective use of space,…

  5. For notes taking in class, I take a lot of pictures of projected screen. Then when inserting those pictures into my notes, GoodNotes will only put them on page with a very limited size. I want to resize those pictures on page, but then the aspect ratio will be changed because I can only stretch them either vertically or horizontally at a time, not both at the same time.

    I think GN should add a button at the corner of resizing the picture to keep the original aspect ratio.

  6. In Goodnotes there is the option to structure a document. There is then the "Own outline" and the "PDF outline". You can then use the filter to select which of the two outlines should be displayed, or whether both or neither should be displayed. I actually only ever need the "Own outline" and I never want the "PDF outline" to be displayed. Of course I can always select this when I am in the outline, but when I open a new document or go to the same document after I have closed Goodnotes, both outlines are always preselected. Is there…

  10. I am looking for a high-quality notes web application that can run on any platform. While I enjoy using GoodNotes on my iPad, as a Linux programmer, I am unable to edit my notes from my workstation.

  11. I would like to see the options to learn the study sets the other way around. Often I prepare a study set and notice that it would be more effective to see the answer first and after that the question while learning. An Option where you can swap every question and answer would solve this problem.

  12. An option to have a radial/floating menu of favourites like different pens (with set color and size), lasso tool, eraser, highlighter, etc. that can be pulled up with custom gesture like long tap with finger or the double tap on the Apple Pencil.

    As a student, who frequently needs to switch between different pen colors and sizes, always having to reach up for the menu bar takes time and so a shortcut that can be accessed directly where my pen is would be incredibly helpful. Even just switching between two different pen sizes with a gesture would help a lot.

  13. This would allow me to quickly edit my notes from school (possibly as i take them!) and practice the examples we covered in class without TRYING to not look at the answers, or only copy/pasting the relevant stuff.

    Obviously the box should be resizable, and maybe even able to be a customizable color and shape since I can’t write in a straight line when I’m in a rush ‘XD!

    I’m sure it has more creative/interactive functions, but idk what they could be.

  15. Instead of sorting documents by date, name, or type, you should be able to "lock" a document to a certain spot and move everything else.

  17. When highlighting a text you are already able to hit speech and it will be read to you. It would be great if there were speed options 0.5x, .75x, 1x, 2x, etc...
    I am an auditory learner so this would help with all my e-textbooks. It would also be great if you can pause it while it is being read to you, in case you have to get up or move for a second.

  18. Eine Suchfunktion bei Karteikarten wäre sehr hilfreich. Wenn man beim Lernen in 50 oder mehr Karteikarten nach einer bestimmten sucht, frisst das sehr viel Zeit.

  19. Introduce the ability to insert an mp3 audio into a document. In this way, in case it was not possible to register with the application itself, I can have the registration and the document all in one file.

  20. I have 6yrs of my dialysis related notes (blood pressures, medications, etc). I tried the GN6 trial with immediate regret, looked to cancel, found out that it says there is no subscription to cancel, nor trial to cancel.Am I going to be losing my GN5 notes or GN5 features? Will GN5 just cease to exist. Do I have to back up my notes into another notewriting app? Please help. Not happy at all
