  1. There are many add ons in the marketplace like planners for example that we’d have to pay for to access.

    There should ideally be an option to try them out for a short period of time before buying. It’s difficult to determine which planner option would be bested based on the screenshots shown under each in the marketplace.

    The last thing anyone wants is to spend €9.99 on a planner that doesn’t suit your needs.

  2. Since there is an audio record feature, why not add transcription feature and AI-based auto notes generation. This way we do not need to pay for multiple apps and stick to our beloved Goodnotes for everything.

  5. Is it possible to expand the Goodnotes cloud service to all users?
    I read the page ( Goodnotes Cloud on IOS Pilot Program).On this page, the Cloud is only eligible for Yearly plan members...That is pretty sad 😢 What I am concerned about is I already paid for other cloud services. For iCloud,I won't pay a subscription.

    Meanwhile, I saw there may be invitations to upgrade iCloud to goodnotes cloud...hope that I am not misunderstanding, cause two statements are a bit contradict.

    If this advice will be accepted in the future, It is convenience. Thank you.

  7. Please - urgently - change the link on the page! With more than 1000 pages, it is necessary to enter the page number, as scrolling is too cumbersome. 1001 thanks.

    Bitte - dringend - Link auf Seite ändern ! Bei über 1000 Seiten ist die Eingabe der Seitennummer notwendig, da scrollen zu umständlich ist. 1001 Dank.

  8. i use text boxes for my planner, because i don’t particularly like my handwriting. i use the scribble function with my apple pencil, but when it converts my writing to text, it automatically capitalizes the first letter. i have this feature turned off in my settings, and i wish it transferred over into the app. i just feel like it looks more natural that way!

  9. What I take notes for I would like to listen to the recording multiple times to learn. To have a loop feature would be great to be able to loop the whole recording to play over and over, or ideally to choose to loop the whole recording or each piece individually for notes with multiple recordings.

  10. I heard that GoodNotes 6 allows collaborative editing of PDFs. After sharing a single PDF with each other, is it possible for both parties to write on the PDF in real-time?

  11. Under the settings tab, add the ability to customize your initial screen.
    Examples:
    Open to a specific document upon start of app. That way if it a diary, journal, calendar, ect. It's ready to use right away.
    Allow different ways to view documents in the start-up tab. List of projects, small projects icons, large icons, view side by side, ect.
    Ability to lock documents and unlock with password, passcode, fingerprint, ect.

  12. I think an if there is an option where we can record and it automatically changes it to live transcript (like plaud app) would save us students a lot of time from making notes. And also if it had an option to make charts would be amazing!

  13. I am in the IOS ecosystem and I love Goodnotes. I hope you make it available for Android phones like Samsung S24 Ultra so we can utilize our devices on the go and can also study without the worry of our iPads or tablets being stolen in public transport. Thank you.

  14. Imported templates often have the problem that they are much smaller than the given document which makes it weird looking and also very unpractical to write as you have to adjust the size of the window continuously. GoodNotes’ own templates do have the option (or an automatic system) to adjust the size but with own templates this unfortunately does not work yet.
    I would appreciate if it would be possible to add the option to adjust the size of an imported template :))

  16. Currently, if you’re recording in one window and want to open another document, you can’t without stopping the recording or without having the windows open before you start recording.

    Options for this:
    1. Add a quick note switcher or something like that so that you can easily open another document as a new tab.
    2. Allow the ability to open a new window of the app. Currently if you try to open a new window, it’ll automatically switch to the note that is actively recording.

    Use case: recording a lecture in your lecture notes and opening a textbook or another…

  17. Once I’m in a notebook and I want to return to the previous folder almost 99% the home button brings me to the home page and I have to go through all the folders again in order to get where I need to be.

  18. Allow me to select which notebooks are synced to which device. I use GoodNotes on multiple devices with different storage capacities. Right now I have to download all notebooks to every device. I would prefer to be able to only have certain notebooks on smaller-capacity devices.

  19. Having the capability to convert spoken words into written text, also known as voice to text transcription, is an invaluable tool that has the potential to revolutionize the way you capture and retain information. Imagine being able to effortlessly transcribe a lecture word by word, facilitating an efficient process for transforming spoken content into written form. Furthermore, this feature opens up the possibility of seamlessly integrating the transcription process with note-taking techniques such as the popular Cornell notes method. By merging these two powerful tools, you enhance your learning experience by creating a comprehensive and organized repository of information gleaned…
