  1. It would be really useful to have the option to set a specific page, so that while you’re reading through your notes for example you’ll always see the number of pages you have left until your set page goal. Also navigating through bookmarks would be drastically easier if we had the option to organize them into sections, maybe by creating folders inside of the bookmark option. This would be really useful if for example you want to select and organize pages with end of chapter summaries into a folder inside of the same document you’re using instead of creating a…

  3. Could you please add support for turkish language transcription in the audio to text feature?

  4. I think a feature that allows us to change the language of notebooks would be helpful because I started mine in the wrong language and now can’t change it

  5. Make it possible for user to teach GoodNotes to recognize the Epsilon Ampersand symbol in their handwriting. (Currently identifies as a scribble, and immediately deletes it.)

  7. Hallo,
    ich bin Lehrkraft und nutze ihre App in der Schule an einem digitalem Board. Auf dem iPad kann ich die Toolbar nach unten setzen, das würde ich mir auch für MacOS wünschen. Leider habe ich die Option nicht gefunden.

    Im besten fall wäre es so, dass ich nur die Werkzeugleiste verschieben kann ohne die offenen Dokumente

  8. the flashcard function could use improvement. I am unable to bold or even underline my text on the flashcard. I can't even use my pencil to highlight/add notes. There is no way to go from card to card editing without going to the outline each time. The main concern is not being able to bold text in the card since it now all blends in and is not as helpful

  9. Up until recently I was about to select my hand writing and shrink it down as small as possible. This feature was really helpful to add in small notes around my work. I have just gone to do this and realised that now you can’t shrink it beyond it’s original size, you can only make it bigger. Please can you bring back this feature, it was soooo useful!

  10. Many times we find ourselves asking: “Where did I write down that information?” or “Which notebooks contain notes on this topic?”
    A semantic index that analyzes the content of all notebooks would allow users to search across their entire library based on meaning and context—not just keywords or titles. This feature would be extremely helpful to locate related ideas, even when they are spread out across different notebooks and sessions.

  11. In a typical study routine, we watch lectures, take notes, attend classes, and often find that pieces of information from one source complement another. A diagram feature allowing us to create links between related topics would help us locate information more effectively—without needing to duplicate or copy notes between notebooks.

  12. When attending lectures, we often have both slides and personal notes. With AI integration, GoodNotes could automatically index titles to help us access topics more quickly. In the case of slides, this would be relatively simple, but for handwritten notes, it could detect titles based on pen stroke thickness, since we naturally tend to write headings with thicker lines.

  13. Seeing that Goodnotes 6 has the capability to interpret/edit LaTeX obtained from handwriting in iOS, it should be possible to create new equations with the keyboard from a macOS.

  14. The tape feature is great but sometimes applying the tape can be imprecise due to the cursor blocking out what is below it. Often part of a word is peaking out from the tape. This could be solved if the cursor where transparent or even another shape like a vertical line

  15. I like to import my professors notes and write alongside them during lectures. I would love to be able to use the audio recording feature and laser pointer together so that i can follow along with the laser in the recording when reviewing notes. I want to be able to circle things or underline them during class so i can see the the prof is referring to in the recordings.

  20. When I use keyboard typed-in mode, I found there is no way to adjust the fontsize because it's too small.

    But you can adjust the fontsize in iPad edition when you select the input words, it would pops out a toolbar
