  1. As a mathematics teacher and a regular user of GoodNotes 6, I greatly appreciate how the app supports digital teaching and note-taking. However, during my daily use—especially in teaching complex concepts—I found that a few additional features would significantly improve the experience, particularly for educators like me:
    1. Merge and Split Strokes: This would allow us to combine or separate drawn elements easily—very helpful when organizing mathematical constructions or diagrams.
    2. Edit Stroke Properties After Drawing: It would be beneficial to tap on a stroke and adjust its style (e.g., dashed, dotted, solid) or thickness, which is essential when emphasizing…

  2. DENTISTS ARE DOCTORS TOO :( I love all the notebooks, flashcards, mind maps, etc. for all other health professions, but I'm in dental school and have been constantly checking to see if anything dental-related gets added and it never does. I'd love to have some stickers, notebooks, flashcards, mind maps, treatment planning templates or ANYTHING for dentists. So many of my classmates use Goodnotes too so I know these things would be popular. Please consider adding! :)

  3. ToDo list widget

    ive seen many to do list requests but what would be really useful is a todo list widget on ios/android that's easy to update and i can easily check off things i already did.
    I use goodnotes all day everyday and switching between goodnotes and a to do list app gets annoying, id rather have it all in once place!

  4. I play guitar and I want an autoplay feature for the flashcards. You see the term, I play the chord, and then it flips so I can see if the hand placement is correct. The flashcards already shuffle so I can practice the chords at random but this way I can practice hands free. It would also help those who want to hear phrases in the background for language learning if there was an audio function.

  5. I’d like to suggest a feature that would greatly improve the experience for users with an SPen:

    Could you please add an option to customize the SPen button action?

    For example, instead of always switching to the eraser tool, it would be very useful if we could assign the button to perform an Undo action.

    This would speed up the workflow and match how some other apps handle the SPen button.

    I believe many Samsung tablet users would appreciate this added flexibility.

    Thank you for considering this request and for your great work on

  7. Hi there!
    I’m a long-time GoodNotes user and I’d love to suggest a feature: the ability to embed PDFs or documents as tappable miniatures inside an existing page, not as new notebooks.

    This feature already exists in Apple’s Freeform app, and it’s incredibly useful for organizing study materials or combining notes with reference files.

    I believe many users would appreciate this option. Thanks for considering!

  8. 我更新完之后,画的形状,比如正方形,我点击它出现四个定位点之后必须要点 形状 功能才能用笔改变它的大小,之前明明只要笔点到定位点就可以直接调整了不用专门换到“形状”功能啊,这样很不方便麻烦改回去吧🥹

  10. It would be amazing to have vector based lines that are elastic, that could be editable and moved around after sketching the initial path. For the ends and mid points of the lines should allow user to pick arrow heads, circles, squares, etc. As an end type option the ability to connect to an object or photo, so if you move that object the line stretches to the new location yet the line remains edible.

    The line corners should have adjustable arcs or curves that could be tweaked.

    I use this app to draw diagrams of audio visual setups, so…

  11. 1)Currently , when we review flashcards , we cannot zoom in/out . So this makes it difficult sometimes to view photos/ handwritten text because it appears very small.
    2) Instead of showing the answer by flipping the flashcard , make the answer appear on the same page so that we can see the question and the answer at the same time .
    3) If we want to add long answers to the flashcard , the space seems a bit less . so allow us to add multiple pages in a single flashcard .

  13. It would be nice to be able to separate libraries of stickers. I have a bunch that are for work other for fun and all the libraries get mixed up in the one single horizontal line. Would be nice if we could make categories of libraries to make the search easier.

  14. I love the tape feature, but it’s annoying that the PDF backups of my goodnotes files on google drive have tape on them. It’s useful if it’s in the app, but it’s not for backups. Goodnotes, please fix this! Give us an option to remove tape on backups and exports.

  15. The options for organizing, editing, and adding elements/stickers are very limited and are missing several basic functions of any file organization system. When editing collections, I think it would make more sense to stay in the element overview UI, instead of popping out a smaller window with the same sticker inside. Options for editing should include a “select multiple” option, so that instead of each sticker having a circle button for quick deletion, you can select multiple first and then choose to mass delete, create new collection, move to new collection (which is not an option either), change the order…

  16. As of now, if I want to edit the style of multiple textboxes (such as the box border color/width and background), I can only edit the color of the text when using the lasso tool and then selecting “style”. I like to use textboxes to make color coded labels, but without the ability to mass edit, I have to change the color of the textbox manually before saving to elements. Adding textbox edit options in the “style” option would be helpful, and adding the ability to save my own textbox presets would be nice as well.

  17. I'm a big user of goodnotes, I've been taking notes with him since 4 years ago, it's a very good software to use, as you know, apple recently released ipad air 6 (13inch), I bought him and upgraded goodnotes 6 on this new ipad.
    I realized that from my previous device using goodnotes 5 there was no heating condition.
    But after about 20 minutes of writing on top of the new ipad, my ipad has been heating up really bad.
    I had to stop and let the ipad cool down a bit before I could continue writing. I hope the…

  18. Once I´m done writing with Apple Pencil several paragraphs it takes several clicks (select, convert, etc) to make it text, it would be awesome if I can do it like many other apps just immediately just finish a sentence, double click on it and it will make it text

  19. Goodnotes 6 should be able to add a feature wherein a request for authentication code is sent first before deletion of account. Sometimes people “misclick” the delete button account which made other devices log out of the account. It is a hassle for everyone 😫

  20. It is very hard to find comments in your old documents. Basically if you want to resolve a comment later you have to bookmark the page aswell. It would be great if a comment tab was added somewhere, where you could have an overview over all comments. (Similar to the attached picture in Adobe Acrobat). Another suggestion would be to simply add it in addition to bookmarks, such that pages that are commented are clearly visible (see other pic)
    In general if you would work on these features, the work together option for notes would be much improved aswell.
