  1. 字を書くのに向いた筆ペンが欲しいです。
    今ある筆ペンは絵の具みたいな筆ペンで先が丸くなりすぎるので「止め跳ね払い」が反映されなくて字が潰れちゃう。万年筆だと線を書く向きで太さが変わるけどそれはアルファベットには向いてるけど日本語を書くのには変な太さになる。

  2. You can repeatedly download whiteboard templates for some reason which caused my “imported from marketplace” section to be spammed with the same few templates. Would be great to have a way to delete them

  3. Allow us to form perfect arrows when using draw and hold. It often slows my progress switching between the Pen Tool and the Shape Tool, and I'd much rather have the ability to automatically make an arrow using draw and hold, just like other shapes

  5. Notebook LM has a great feature where you can create an audio overview using AI that creates a podcast episode from the content. This is the only reason I use Notebook LM as well as goodnotes and I think this should be on Goodnotes' roadmap as party of becoming a leading AI notebook took.

  7. Hi I would like to suggest a better Template management system, like notability where you can just download the template and can seamlessly create new documents using that with different sizes and all.

    But in GoodNotes 6, it’s a very complex process to import template and at that can only do one page at a time making it a nightmare for customising template sizes and colours.

  9. I wish we could give the whiteboards covers instead of the zoomed out version of the whole whiteboard. It would make organizing my different boards so much easier.

  10. The current screenshot feature captures all notes on the page. I wish to add an option to capture only the background.

    Also, it would be easier to have an option like "screenshot and copy", the current workflow is too complex: screenshot, share, copy, and close the preview...

    So two features: "screenshot background", "screenshot and copy".

  11. Tape도 펜처럼 직사각형을 그렸을때 안에가 채워지면 좋겠습니다. 그리고 그 위에 필기를 할 수 있도록 하여 포스티잇 처럼 눌렀을때 그 밑에 내용을 볼 수 있고 다시 누르면 위에 내용을 볼 수 있도록 할 수 있으면 좋겠습니다. 이렇게 하면 특히 오답 학습을 할때 매우 효과적이고 실용적으로 사용할 수 있다고 생각합니다

  12. I truly appreciate the powerful note-taking experience that GoodNotes offers. However, I would love to see a Pin Notes feature and a Quick Access Folder option to enhance workflow efficiency.

    Currently, navigating between different notes for ongoing study, work, or projects requires extra steps, which can be time-consuming. A pinned notes section would allow users to keep frequently used documents easily accessible.

  13. I layer elements often and use a white shape to hide parts of my planner I’m redoing- but new things I add snap to the shape automatically. I click bring to front and it won’t unsnap from the shape. It has really been frustrating and has made my planner use tedious.

  15. I recently switched to a system in which I'm taking notes using a Rocketbook, then putting those PDF scans into Goodnotes to store and annotate into notebooks for each class. I would love if there was some features for that in particular.

    • The ability to use precision eraser directly on the PDF. (I want to erase this diagram I drew! Or erase it then resize! Having to cover it with a shape is way to finicky, it makes adding new content over the shape very difficult.
    • The ability to edit the color of text! I only use Black pens, so…

  16. Description

    Hi Goodnotes Team,
    I would love to see a new "Workspaces" option added to the main page sidebar (which currently only includes Documents, Favorites, Shared, and Market).

    This feature would allow users to save and switch between different working environments tailored to specific scenarios (e.g., different classes, meetings, or projects).

    Ideally, a custom Workspace would save:
    • Specific files/tabs: The specific notebooks or PDFs that need to be opened together.
    • Tool configurations: Custom presets for pen thickness, color palettes, and default tool combinations applicable to that specific scenario.

    Use Case:

    For example, if I am about to study…

  17. Multi-Page View: Please allow viewing 2-page (spread) or 4-page layouts on a single screen.

    A 2-page view is essential for a book-like experience, while a 4-page view is great for scanning data. Users should be able to write across these pages while the strokes are still assigned to their respective pages. (Reference: Flexcil and Noteful).

  18. The new update is not user-friendly at all. The toolbar is difficult to use, and this is especially evident in the audio recording feature. When you start recording, a separate window appears outside the toolbar, taking up screen space and getting in the way. In the previous version, recording was indicated only by a small discreet icon in the toolbar, so writing wasn’t interrupted.
    In addition, when you play back the recording, every time you want to stop it and play it again, another unnecessary panel pops up on the left side of the screen, making the process time-consuming.

    Overall,…

  19. I use Goodnotes on my iPad primarily and always keep tabs open for work to refer to at any time easily. I keep these open all the time because it's either a standard of procedure that I reference like my bible or documents pertinent to a project I'm working on over the course of a couple days, weeks, or so.

    I find that sometimes I will accidentally click to close a tab and not know what tab I closed. I would love for a setting to toggle hiding the close tab button to prevent this.

  20. For function like y=sin(x°), the range and domain are very different ( -1 to 1 vs 0 to 360). The graph displayed is too flat for any visual understanding.
    It would be great to be able to adjust the interval of x/y-axes seperately.

    In desmos, it is done by dragging the x/y-axes with two fingers.
    In Apple Notes, it is auto-adjusted with "centered"
