Convert Handwritten Photos into Editable Digital Ink
I would love to see a feature that allows users to take a photo of handwritten notes and convert them into fully editable GoodNotes digital ink.
The key difference from importing a photo is that the handwriting itself becomes editable.
How it could work:
Take or Import a Photo
- Users can take a photo of handwritten notes from:
- Notebook page
- Loose paper
- Whiteboard
- Users can take a photo of handwritten notes from:
Convert Handwriting into Digital Ink
- GoodNotes AI analyzes the handwriting and reconstructs it as editable digital ink strokes.
- The converted notes should closely match the original handwriting style and layout.
Replace the Photo Background
- Instead of keeping…

Smart Learn Needs a Daily Card Limit Like Anki
I think Goodnotes Smart Learn seriously needs a daily card limit system similar to Anki.
Right now Smart Learn can become very aggressive with recommendations when you have a huge number of flashcards.
Imagine being a med student with:
- separate study sets for every chapter
- thousands of flashcards
- eventually 20,000–30,000+ total cards
At that scale, unlimited recommendations can become stressful and mentally overwhelming.
I think there should be a feature where users can set:
“Smart Learn can only recommend X cards today”Example:
- Today limit = 200 cards
- Smart Learn then intelligently chooses the MOST important 200 cards from all…

Expand Page Option
Have a feature where you can expand the page of a document, so that you can have extra space to write annotations. This would be helpful for med students like me who often write and annotate over books but have no space to write. Have an option to expand the page to the left, or to the right, or expand both sides, or customized expansion.

I use the laser pen tool for reviewing notes and repetition, but now for some reason the dots on the i’s and sometimes some short vertical & horizontal lines vanish, making it hard to study. please bring back the old laser pen tool

After using lasso tool, put it back to pen tools.
Currently, after using lasso tools, tapping with Apple Pencil will switch back to the eraser forcibly. It is so inconvenient that doesn’t revert to the tools I was using before, like pen or highlighters. Before the updates, it was used as usual. So please.

Add a way to close file navigator and return to document tabs
There are two view modes in Goodnotes:
- File navigation
- Documents tabs (the documents already open)
We can switch from 2 to 1.
But for some baffling reason there is no way to simply switch from 1 to 2. Instead there is only the contrived way of having to open any file in order to return to 2.
I do not know why Goodnote's UI/UX team has been thinking all these years that that be an okay solution. No other programme does this and it is counterintuitive.
Could you please add this? It's so easy to do. E.g. you could add…

Real-time handwriting beautification (Apple Pencil)
I’d love a feature that automatically refines handwriting to a font or refining my actual handwriting in real time while writing, similar to Freenotes.
I would like to:
- Smooth and standardize strokes live
- Keep the user’s handwriting style OR apply a font
- Improve legibility and aesthetics instantly
Use case:
- Annotating PDFs where neatness matters
- Taking notes that look polished without rewriting
- Digital planning
Why it matters:
Currently, GoodNotes requires manual conversion or editing. A real-time system would:- Save time
- Improve visual quality
- Compete with newer apps offering live handwriting refinement
Optional features:
- Toggle on/off
- Adjustable “cleanliness” level
- Style presets (natural…

Autocorrect on Text Documents
I'd love if we could have autocorrect and spelling check for typed notes. It's a feature for written notes, but I'd love it for typed notes too.

Let us record normally without requiring “record and summarize”
Can’t figure out a way to record without the dumb AI features. Unknowingly used all my credits in the span of an hour because I couldn’t just record audio and it forced me to do the ai summarize too. So annoying

Stop moving the image after cropping
It's a bit irritating that the entire image moves when I crop it, when I already have markings on it with the perfect positioning. I would prefer it, if it stays in the same place

update study sets
please update study sets
i use it a lot for studying but it’s so difficult to use, for example:- currently you cannot press the apple pencil barrel to automatically turn to eraser (!!!!)
- when zooming into top left corner, you cannot write because the undo button blocks it
- add template options - currently it’s only a blank card, it would be better if there were lines to write on (!!!!)
- allow copy and pasting individual flashcards
- study sets are so laggy and most of the time when i make a new flashcards and write on it, it does not show…

Searchable comments
The comment pop-up should be resizeable like in Adobe Acrobat.. Also I'd like to be able to add pictures in the comments to make my notes decluttered. And the text should be editable (like in the regular ...bullet points, bold etc)

Please bring back our peaceful everyday lives!!! Why the latest update is so bad.
I’ve been using Goodnotes every single day for years. I truly appreciated its clean interface and powerful features that supported my workflow. But the most recent update has drastically changed that, in all the wrong ways.
I kept telling myself, “This update must be useful. I just need to give it time and get used to it.”
So I patiently tried using it for several days, but in the end, I came to the conclusion that this update is harming my mental well-being.Let me outline a few reasons why this update has made the experience worse:

Align and space shapes
Love the new shapes tool but it would very useful if shapes (or in a broader sense also all other objects like images, text, stickers, etc.) could be aligned and spaced out evenly to make notes look more professional.
Also the option to eg. center elements on the page via an x/y axis. There could be an option to turn automatic snapping/ guidelines on or off.
It is very difficult to eyeball objects to be consistently spaced and aligned and often results in pages not looking consistent.
