  1. sometimes after highlighting a block and making notes on top, you might write something wrong and want to erase only the word but not the highlighter, but the eraser currently only has a "erase highlight only" option, i wish there were an option to "erase pen only" or to have a layering option (erasing only the top layer upon first time erasing the same area)

  2. Hi, I feel like this should be relatively easy to implement since we already have the audio recording option. But I would like the option to also upload an mp3 and take notes alongside it. If you are like me sometimes you will have to miss lectures for meetings and other projects. It would be awesome if I could upload the lecture audio mp3 and take notes with it instead of having to rerecord it through my ipad microphone.

  3. Once I’m in a notebook and I want to return to the previous folder almost 99% the home button brings me to the home page and I have to go through all the folders again in order to get where I need to be.

  5. When using the search (find) feature, the highlighted text appears in a soft yellow color, making it hard to spot, especially if I’ve already highlighted other text.

    Please allow users to choose the highlight color in the search feature. The current dull yellow is difficult to see, and I’d prefer bold colors for better and faster visibility.”

  6. Please make an option of having 2 pages view like a book. For example page 75 and page 76, or page 77 and page 78, just like a book view. And not a split view

  7. Could you please add support for turkish language transcription in the audio to text feature?
    And it could be great to have an option to send recorded audio separately to others

  8. When adding a link to a page in the existing document, the option to choose from outline and page number should appear instead of taking to the first page’s thumbnail of the document.

  9. Wonderful to now have a ruler... but please make it a changeable scale ruler. This is critical for architects and designers and will be life-changing in the app.

  10. Ask goodnotes is a good thing but needs some pretty obvious, low hanging improvements to be really usable.
    When you mark a text and do "ask good notes", and then you want to repeat it for a different text, there's no reason why you should tap ask goodnotes again, the selection inside the "ask goodnotes" tab should automatically get updated.

  12. I am writing to suggest some features that I believe would enhance the user experience of GoodNotes.
    As a regular GoodNotes user on both iPad and Mac, I would like to propose the addition of Page Up and Page Down functionality. Currently, users need to manually click the up and down buttons to navigate between pages, which is rather cumbersome and time-consuming.
    Additionally, I would appreciate having a dedicated keyboard shortcut for the "fit to page" view function, which is currently accessed by double-tapping. This would streamline the workflow significantly.
    These additions would greatly improve the navigation efficiency and overall…

  17. As someone who struggles with a physical illness (hand tremors), having a drawn line snap to the background grid of a page or having anything snap to a grid pattern of a page, would really, really help. It seems bizarre that this very basic feature is not available as its available on Notability. It's the single reason I can't switch over completely to Goodnotes, as just about everything is great, except for that very, very important feature.

  18. I have all my notes for medical school on goodnotes. It often happens that we have the same topic in different subjects. So it would be so great if there was a „collections“ feature where I can collect all notes regarding a certain topic from different documents without it being removed from the original document or folder.
    Just like when marking certain pages of my document, there could be a function „add to collection“ and then these pages are shown when I open the collection, but also when I open the document.

  19. Suggestion:

    GoodNotes currently offers a library of pre-designed templates for various purposes, such as meeting notes, to-do lists, and calendars. However, these templates are currently stored in a separate "Library" section, making it difficult to organize and access them alongside other documents.

    Proposed Solution:

    Implement a feature that allows users to organize purchased templates within their existing folder structure. This would enable users to:

    Create dedicated folders for specific template types: For example, a folder for "Meeting Notes Templates," another for "To-Do List Templates," etc.
    Easily access templates within their relevant folders: This would eliminate the need to navigate to…

  20. It would be great to add widgets to pages and choose to have these be per page or persistent (thus appearing on every new page in the location selected). Widgets I'd love to place on my pages would be:

    Date/Time - Box that shows the date/time (with option for format). When you add this it will place it with current date or time but user can tap to change. If you choose to make it persistent, when you create a new page it will use the current date/time unless user changes.

    Page # - Simple text to show current page…
