  3. Please change the angle of flat edge in tip flatness.
    It’s exactly the opposite to a fountain pen settings in apples markup.

    In Apple Markup, the flat-tipped pen mimics a real fountain pen, where the angle leads to horizontal thinness and vertical thickness. In Goodnotes, it seems pen engine uses a different angle orientation, making strokes thicker on horizontal movement, it looks so bad, please change it. Thank youn

  4. Add a way for users to add new packages to the preambles of the LaTeX used for the AI, sometimes we just want to use a new symbol and can’t make it because the math mode won’t recognize it. It would be really helpful.

  6. As a beta user, I surprisingly find that text mode is available for markdown format. However, when trying to copy what I wrote to other program like obsidian etc, everything ruined. This is a disaster for user who use different software in different platforms!!!!

  7. I would like to see the ability to add a callout to a notebook page. This would be a small colored block on which text could be written or typed with an arrow or other indicator to a point on the page. This would be similar to a GN post-it note, but it would have an arrow associated with it. My thought is that it would be useful for the callout to be low opacity until it is touched, at which time it would have 100% opacity so it can be read, and then when touched again would return to…

  8. I love the app and use it daily across iPad + Windows. But I’m hitting the same wall every single session: there’s no way to save separate, named pen color palettes for different contexts.

    My workflow swings between:

    White backgrounds (lecture slides, lab reports) → darker inks

    Black backgrounds (my own notes) → lighter/pastel inks

    Right now I’m forced to maintain one long presets strip and manually hunt/eyedropper colors each time. It’s slow, error-prone, and breaks focus. After months of this, it’s honestly pretty frustrating because color is a core UX primitive in note-taking.

    What I’m asking for (minimum viable…

  9. When I “long press” (problem just occurs whilst journaling) three options pop up “zoom, add link, add comment”. I have long press disable everywhere I can on my end.

  10. Dear GoodNotes Team,

    I am a regular user of GoodNotes and I truly appreciate its intuitive interface and powerful tools for working with PDFs and handwritten notes. However, there is one feature that I—and many others in fields like architecture, engineering, and construction—am missing:

    👉 The ability to draw a line and automatically see its real-world length based on a set scale.

    Currently, it is only possible to measure distances using the ruler tool and manually set a scale. But when I draw a freehand line (without the ruler), GoodNotes does not display the length of that line. This makes…

  11. every time I export my document to a PDF the options are restored to their default values. I should be able to choose these defaults, or at the very least remember my preferences. For example, every time I export I have to deactivate "Enable Handwriting Recognition". One time should be enough!

  12. Firstly, kudos to the team for introducing markdown documents!

    What I need to use it actively:

    1. Support for markdown documents on Goodnotes web (Critical)!

    Reason: I use Goodnotes at work for my personal notes as well. However, I can't download the goodnotes windows app on my work laptop. I also use a windows pc and I can't get the markdown feature there.

    1. Ability to add markdown documents inside Goodnotes notebooks (Important)

  13. Being an engineering professional this apps is not very conversant in taking Engg notes. It is requested to incorporate following.
    1. Either allow to paste tables from excel sheets which should be editable or develop a tool to create table easily.
    2. Allow to embed word file into Goodnotes. Also allow subscripts and superscripts like that in word.
    3. Develop or create symbols to insert scientific, maths, geometry, Greek small
    & capital.
    4. Also insert function .
    5. Most important while writing maths formulae it should be very easy and smooth. At present most of the time Goodnotes do not…

  14. Bilder horizontal oder vertikal ausgerichtet anordnen, so dass man auch einfach die gleiche Größe wählen kann.
    Leider fehlt nach dem Update die Möglichkeit, die Hintergrundmaterial von Textfeldern individuell zu wählen.
    Und mehrere Bilder aus einem Ordner auf einmal einfügen.

  15. Hi GoodNotes team,
    I love using your flashcard feature to study for the MCAT, but I’d really appreciate an option to mark flashcards as completed and continue reviewing where I left off.

    Right now, if I accidentally exit mid-review, I have to restart the entire deck, even if I’ve already gone through 50+ cards. This makes it harder to stay focused and finish large study sets.

    Thank you for all the improvements you’ve made—this one would be a game changer!

  16. When creating documents, I have wanted to include a picture behind my words without obstructing them. I’ve also wanted to flip the picture for a cleaner look. These are 2 features I often use in Canva and forget I don’t have the ability in Goodnotes. I love this program and enjoy the ability it provides to be creative!

  17. I recently purchased a large template pack (70+ templates) from the GoodNotes Marketplace and noticed that I had to manually select and import each one individually. It would be incredibly helpful if there were an option to automatically import all templates from a purchased pack in one tap.

    This would save a lot of time for users, especially when dealing with large bundles, and create a smoother experience right after purchase.

    Thanks for all the great work on GoodNotes!

  18. since you don't have the option to have main text go into the left hand column of the cornell notes, I have no option but to use the text box option. so when I am trying to copy and paste my 80 key words into the document I have to waste 2 hours manually breaking them up and putting them into each page since the text boxes don't just automatically carry over. completely ridiculous and suchhhhhhh a waste of time its driving me up the wall. or at least jus have the option for the main texting mode to work…

  19. Scanned documents always get changed to US Letter Format even if they’re in DIN A4 and then afterwards when you drag down it just copies the scanned page instead of adding a normal on of the notebooks template

  20. We should be able to write something out and if we want to go back and change not just the color, the stroke size, whether we want it written with dashed lines, dotted lines. Also we should be able to charge the color of our math equations
