  1. I use this app on my iPad Pro with a Mini-LED screen. I want a completely black screen, not a dark gray one. This will allow my battery to last longer.

  2. It could be better if we can be able to select dotted line and dashed line for pencil tool, as the pen tools can.

  3. Rulers shortcut that can rotate 90 degrees,

    When I'm drawing graphs, I have to manually rotate the rulers from 0 degree to 90 degree.

    I think it is better if we have shortcut (something like double tapping the ruler) and it rotate clockwise to 90 degrees (or customizable rotation)

  4. I would like to suggest adding support for using the laser pointer in the whiteboard mode. It would be very helpful if the laser pointer were available there as well.

  5. As it stands the textbox feature is limited to changing font size, color, format, and style (lists). These are all the necessary functions of a textbox, but as some quality-of-life changes these are some problems I've run into.

    • Equation shortcuts like superscript, subscript, and basic greek lettering not available unless unicode is used to paste them into the textbox (time-consuming).

    -No options for textbox border styles and colors to organize unless manually drawn around them.

    -Autocorrection feature would be especially useful in textboxes that end up with a lot of text. Possible feature you could use the built in AI…

  6. Since the last update you have modified the edit mode and deleted the auto-straighten button! It was probably the most useful button in the entire app and now it’s gone. Instead of trying to develop useless ai features, focuson the basic functionality of the app first! (I’ll putpictures of the old and new edit mode)

  7. It would be very helpful if there was a dedicated backspace button (similar to the enter button to start a new line) for the text box. When I’m writing and converting to text it would be easier to be able to backspace and delete certain letters or words or remove a line or indent I made by having a backspace button like when typing on a traditional keyboard.

    • You only offer 3 colours, and the colour you call black isn’t black at all—it’s some sort of dark gray-ish. We need real black colour or the usual colour palette one has in the normal note mode [no infinite board]
    • Also, why there’s no zoom box in the infinite board mode? Please add it there, too.

  8. 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…
    Thanks, David Eliav

  10. I would like to suggest aligning the grid spacing and the ruler in GoodNotes with common measurement standards.
    In many countries (for example in Europe), squared paper follows a standardized pattern where two squares equal exactly 1 cm. This standard is widely used in schools, universities, and technical work.
    Currently in GoodNotes, however, two squares correspond to about 1.12 cm when measured with the built-in ruler. Because of this mismatch, the ruler becomes difficult to use for precise measurements or technical sketches. Lines drawn using the grid do not correspond correctly to real-world measurements.
    This can be especially inconvenient for…

  11. While using my Apple Pencil and writing with the pencil feature in goodnotes, if I tilt my pencil, the writing gets thicker as if I were tilting a blunt pencil. This is inconvenient as I tend to hold my pencil to the side and the feature makes my notes messy.

    I would like an option to disable this feature so that no matter how I hold my pencil, the thickness will stay consistent.

  12. The current flashcards are too small to view comfortably on a phone. When I edit the flashcards on my iPad and send them to my phone for convenience, the text size remains too small, making it difficult to read without looking very closely.

    Please make the flashcards bigger(at least 4/3 of the screen? ) and more accessible to view on the phone.

  14. With the new integration of Ai in Goodnotes, I would love to have the choice of Ai making a practice quiz based on my notes/slides presentation pdf you saves in goodnotes. I have two ideas:

    1. Ai makes practice questions based on your notebook and like the flashcards uses spaced repetition
    2. Ai can create a practice quiz, like multiple choice and matching

  15. Buongiorno, sono uno studente di ingegneria e utilizzo questa app sin dai tempi del liceo. Devo dire che l’apprezzo molto
    ed è quasi completa. Ma ci sono un paio di consigli che vi voglio dare per renderla perfetta almeno per uno studente che studia materie scientifiche.
    1) aggiungete un puntino al centro di cerchi e di ellissi per riuscire a centrarle meglio in grafici ed in generale perché sarebbe molto utile e magari aggiungete la possibilità di creare un cerchio come su solid works partendo dal centro e disegnando solo il raggio. (ne ho parlato con molti utilizzatori e tutti…

  16. Flattened export is by far superior to editable (ink to text, items keep in place). please add the option to keep the outlines in FLATTENED export

  17. Add Zoom Percentage, please. The zoom affects the way we write and therefore if we'd like to keep our notes consistent in size and neatness. Adding a zoom percentage display would allow us to know what zoom size we prefer and always set our zoom percentages to that number.

  18. I love using scribble to have my notes written in a different font but I wish we could have as much flexibility with the lasso tool as we do with normal hand writing. For example sometimes to I do my math homework on there and I want to move some of the variables down or move only one word from the sentence but when using the lasso tool with text box the whole text box moves even when I only circle one part.

  19. I am an engineering grad I do all my notes in Goodnotes the only feature that I need the most is the laser writing gets erased within a second , it would be great if I write as much as I want on the screen with laser and on one “clear all” option all laser writings gets cleared . I tend to do most of my rough calculations besides my notes and it becomes hard to erase my rough with main writing as lines get overlapped , it would be convenient for me to scribble over my notes with laser…
