  1. I feel comfortable writing at a very specific zoom level on the page. I would like to know exactly what this zoom level is and be able to go specifically back to that level of zoom. i.e., write some text, then zoom out to cut and paste, move things around, then when I am ready to start writing text again zoom exactly back to that specific zoom level.

  2. When writing continues from the current page to the next, the next page should be automatically added, and the handwriting should seamlessly extend to the following page rather than being "cut off" or "eaten" by it. (Similar to the writing experience in Notability, which handles this particularly well.)

  3. Hello GoodNotes Team,

    Thank you for the great app! I really enjoy using the audio recording feature while writing notes, especially because it syncs perfectly with my handwriting.

    I would love to have an option to export the note with both the audio and the synchronized handwriting, either as an interactive file or a video. This would allow me to share my lecture notes with friends in the exact way I experienced them — with the timing of each written point aligned to the recording.

    Currently, sharing a PDF or exporting as images loses that functionality, and it’s a big…

  4. I paid for GoodNotes 5 as well as the interim GoodNotes 5 upgrade. My app was upgraded to GoodNotes 6 during iOS App Store updates. Now I’m being forced to purchase a GoodNotes 6 subscription with a nag screen even though I’m running version 5. I suggest that you leave us happy version 5 people alone, stop holding our data ransom and avoid a class action lawsuit suit.

  5. I currently create notes when working (in a notebook) and then go on to create flashcards for a topic - rather than creating flashcards directly from study material.

    I use different software for flashcards but would reconsider if there was an easier (or more obvious way) to create flashcards from a notebook i.e. circle to select some text and add it to a flashcard the same way I can screenshot it

  7. Hi Goodnotes team,

    I have another feature suggestion that could greatly enhance the experience of using audio recordings within notebooks.

    Currently, when we start a voice recording and take notes by hand or typing during the recording, there’s no way to later connect specific notes to the exact moment they were written.

    My suggestion: it would be incredibly useful if, after saving the recording, I could tap on a word or note I wrote during the session, and the audio would jump directly to the exact minute and second when that note was taken.

    This feature would be a game-changer…

  10. Despite having a page under the url suffix /pricing, there are no prices on this page to associate with the descriptions of the plans. please update with pricing for subscription and permanent lifetime access models.

  11. dont force the presentation mode on connection to external screen, or at least allow to turn it off. It’s a common use case to use iPad for writing while watching a video on external screen, which is blocked by your presentation

  12. It’s extremely crucial for me to be able to make guides for documents (of course being able to have them visible or not anytime I need to). I can’t stand the fact that I can’t align, for example, stickers in a precise row or column.
    Using grid paper doesn’t help me at all, I want to have an option so that stickers, text boxes etc snap to guides made by me (I was hoping „ruler” feature will help with that, but alas, it didn’t).

  13. When using the Zoom Window in addition the Auto Advance having the blue box on the left side of the screen is quite inefficient. I have been a long time of user (3 years+) and I have always thought that enabling the choice for the Blue Auto Advance Box to be either on the left or right would be HIGHLY useful!

  14. I would love to see Goodnotes running natively on visionOS. Right now, I'm using the macOS version with an XP-Pen tablet by mirroring macOS within visionOS, but a native app with support for the Apple Pencil or similar tablets would be ideal!

  15. Online there are tremendously useful AI services that convert a PDF to a set of study cards. It would be amazing to be able to have AI convert notes to study sets automatically.

  16. Allow word wrapped outlines for long titles of various sorts.. Currently, outline titles, document titles, etc., are cut off when they are too long.

    What is the point of having a long title is you can't read it?

  17. Hi Goodnotes team,

    The app is really amazing. Everything is almost perfect in the app.
    Only one feature is missing in this is that there should be a predefined set of shapes that could be dragged and dropped on the canvas. This would be really helpful. Thanks.

  18. Above the inserted image, draw "lines, circles, polygons, etc.", click to select "lines, circles, polygons, etc." again, the selected "lines, circles, polygons, etc." will disappear and cannot be selected again. Only after exiting and re-entering will they reappear.

  19. I was really excited about the sticky notes feature at first. After the rocky launch and the subsequent patch that supposedly fixed things, I ultimately ended up moving the sticky notes icon to the hidden section of my toolbar—never to be used again (ironically, toolbar customization is probably the most useful feature for me, LOL). Experience tunnel rush, where neon-lit tunnels twist and turn as you race through a kaleidoscope of obstacles, blending stunning visuals with heart-pounding action.

    The way sticky notes are implemented is clunky and unintuitive, creating more problems than they solve. I don’t understand why they…

  20. I like to write notes with my pen, BUT I also keep the floating keyboard up as well so I can flit between the two as needed. Currently, whatever zoom amount you view the page, the page is anchored to the middle of the screen. It would be nice to be able to move my page to the side so that I can have my keyboard open without it covering my page. I’ll attach a screenshot of my current view. I’d like to be able to move my page to the left so I can see the whole thing without…
