  1. hello goodnotes.I am from India. I am currently using the 1year(essential) plan. but I want to upgrade my subscription to the special edition/ lifetime subscription. but it seems like ,in India- the special edition subscription is not available .there is only the essential/yearly plans and one Pro plan. so it will be very helpful if you add the special edition plan for India region.

    I desperately need the special edition plan. and it is not available in India region so is there any other way that I can buy the special edition subscription.

    if you add the speciality some subscription…

  2. I sometimes work with several workbooks in parallel, for example, several projects. I maintain one workbook per project.

    It would be great if there were a task function (task type, task, task description, responsible person, deadline, status, task category, relevance indicator in the central task register) that would converge centrally on a user workstation, regardless of which workbook it is in. This would make work much easier. It would allow to-dos recorded in meetings to be managed more effectively without losing track of the big picture.

    If it were also possible to synchronise by task type (calendar entry, task entry)…

  3. The Goodnotes AI monthly credits are very limiting. As a student in an accelerated program, the credits run out quickly especially when trying to transcribe a lecture. I also wouldn’t mind paying for an annual, all inclusive subscription (without credits) at a higher rate. AI generated quizzes would be a plus as well.

  4. Hello GoodNotes Team,

    I have a small feature request regarding the page navigator.

    On my previous 12.9-inch iPad, the page thumbnails were displayed four per row. I organized many of my bookmarked pages assuming this four-per-row layout.

    After switching to a 13-inch iPad, the navigator now displays five thumbnails per row. Because of this, the layout of my bookmarked pages has been disrupted. The rows I organized are now mixed, which makes it difficult to recognize them at a glance.

    It would be very helpful if users could customize the number of thumbnails per row (for example, choosing four instead…

  5. Text tool feels clunky compared to Google Docs

    Issue: Copy/paste, selecting text, and typing across pages doesn’t feel smooth or reliable.
    Why it’s annoying: The friction breaks flow and makes typed notes feel like a worse experience than handwriting.
    Request: Improve the text tool to behave more like Google Docs:

    Auto-add pages as text grows (no manual page management)

    Smoother transitions across pages when selecting/typing/erasing

    More reliable copy/paste behavior

  6. With recent updates, the option to filter or prioritize favorited documents within a specific folder has been removed. Now, clicking on Favorites just throws every single starred document into one massive global list.

    This completely disrupts an organized workflow. When I am working inside a specific folder, I want to be able to filter for or automatically pin the favorites of that exact folder to the top, without having to look at files from completely different projects.

    Please bring back local favorites filtering or an option to sort folders by "Favorites First".

  7. The Masking Tape feature is amazing for active recall and memorization.

    However, when a page contains many masking tapes, users currently have to tap every single one individually just to review the full content.

    This is especially inconvenient when users want to quickly review the entire page or check the overall structure of their notes before testing themselves again.

    A simple “Reveal All / Hide All” toggle would make studying much smoother and faster.

    Possible options:
    • Reveal all masking tapes on the current page
    • Hide all again with one tap
    • Optional notebook-wide support

    This would greatly improve…

  8. Subject: Zapier Integration Request - Automate GoodNotes Workflows

    Hi GoodNotes team,

    I'm a fan of your app and would love to integrate it with Zapier to automate my workflows. Specifically, I'd like to:

    Create new GoodNotes notebooks/documents automatically when triggered by events in other apps (like our job management system)
    Organize notes based on job details (client name, job ID, etc.)
    Optionally export or sync GoodNotes content to cloud storage
    Do you have plans to launch a Zapier integration? If so, when might this be available? If not, is there an API or webhook I could use in the meantime?

  9. In GoodNotes 7 it is no longer possible to set a default text style, and text backgrounds are missing. Both features existed in GoodNotes 6 and are essential for my work (e.g. creating assignments, official documents). Please clarify: is this a bug that will be fixed, or a deliberate design decision that will remain?

  11. I often use different sets of highlighting colors depending on what I’m working on. It would be very helpful if Goodnotes allowed users to create and save groups (or palettes) of highlight colors. That way, I wouldn’t need to manually change the highlight colors each time I switch tasks or subjects.

  12. This feature was previously there but recently been taken away. It is very cumbersome to custom the type, size and colour of the font every time when i try to write. So this feature called “save as default” option should be there for typing font, size and colour.

  13. Hello GoodNotes Team,

    I’ve recently noticed that in the latest version of GoodNotes for iPad or Iphone, the “full-page text input” mode no longer provides an option to change the font size and style.

    In previous versions, users were able to freely edit both the font size and font style while using full-page text mode. This was especially useful for multilingual users like me who often type in Chinese and Japanese — since these languages have different character heights, being able to adjust the font size ensures that the text aligns properly within each line.

    In the current version, however,…

  14. If you have a deep folder hierarchy with a lot of subfolders it is useful to have the option to "show info" to see the folder where a document is saved in, for example if you found it via search. the same thing would be useful for a subfolder.

    Ideally you would have a clickable breadcrumb path, for example in a sidebar as others have suggested.

  15. I believe the highlighting process would be more efficient if a PDF mode were added under the Highligher settings. In the PDF mode, the highlighter recognizes the text and snaps.

    In the current version, the only options are either manual highlighting, or pressing the text then choosing the "Highlight" option (w/ only yellow as the available color).

  17. ¡Hola! Quería exponer esto en algún lugar para que alguien lo pudiese ver y es que tengo un problema, hace dos días cuando utilizabas un cuadro de texto y cambiabas el tamaño de la letra podías ajustar manualmente el espaciado entre líneas pero ahora ya no, no sé si es un error o que han quitado esa utilidad pero es imposible el poder escribir en los documentos bien.
    Mi versión es la de Windows 11, ¡gracias!

  18. I use a different app (speechify) to read off pdfs, etc to me. It works really well and helps me get through readings in in uni I would struggle with other wise. However, I much prefer to highlight my readings, etc as a doc in goodnotes. I think such a feature would be immensely helpful for college students in good notes.

  19. Everyone wants to mirror images, but what would be awesome is if you had any sketch and to be able to mirror its entirety to give symmetrical conduct, it saves not only time and energy but is also efficient and widely used in sketches.
    So just a thought…

  20. An option to manually set the rotation of fountain pen tip. When you turn off the recognize pen rotation option, which is a nice feature, it sets in an oblique angle. It would be nice to be able to manually rotate the pen tip and set it whichever angle you want it.
