  1. There is no note-taking app out there that supports both handwritten notes and typed notes. By adding the keyboard feature, Goodnotes has taken a first step towards becoming an all-rounder app. The only problem is that the keyboard feature can't compete with apps like Obsidian or Notion, as it is extremely time consuming to format the text. So far, it is only suitable for aesthetic reasons, but is not practically usable. By adding support for Markdown, Goodnotes would finally have the first hybrid all-rounder solution for notes.

    I attached some examples of how it could look like implemented.

  2. Like the new Ask Goodnotes feature, AI may be used to generate properly formatted tests in app from multiple notebooks or folders. There can be various test modes like MCQ based, Subjective, True/False etc.

  3. A update for audio transcript for the 9th gen iPad should be made as other note taking apps allow you to do audio transcription on almost relatively new generations of iPads. No reason to pay for goodnotes and while only certain feature are only available to people who have certain iPads.

  4. The newly added pencil tool in Goodnotes 6 offers an excellent writing and sketching experience, with smooth and intuitive strokes. It would be fantastic to have similar brush settings and handwriting functionality for the fountain pen, giving users the option to adjust it for more stable, precise writing. Currently, the fountain pen feels unstable, and I often find myself switching to Noteful for better handwriting. If the fountain pen could incorporate the same improvements seen in the pencil tool, it would make Goodnotes 6 a more versatile and complete tool for note-taking and sketching.

  5. Allow users to adjust the pencil's pressure sensitivity. This pencil is hard to write in a solid stroke without the users putting a very strong force. Also polish the stroke's shape so that when it's thicker, the writing will not diffuse. Apple's own pencil stroke will be a great example.

  6. 尊敬的开发团队:

    作为一名勤俭节约的男大学生,我最近狠下心花了一笔不小的开销买下了你们的GoodNotes,一开始真是欣喜若狂,但渐渐发现问题一个接一个,让我非常失望。最严重的问题就是 发烫。我的iPad Air 5从来没有在使用其他应用时发烫,除非在酷暑时没有空调。但只要一打开GoodNotes,特别是在开始写字、记笔记时,靠近磁铁的地方(我估计是芯片的位置)就开始发烫,甚至烫得厉害!这绝不是我设备的问题——无论在WPS、OneNote还是其他笔记应用上,我从来没遇到过这种情况,完全不发烫!

    更让人无奈的是,这种发烫还带来了一系列问题,最明显的就是 延迟。即使设备烫手时,我用OneNote也从未出现过延迟,而你们这个收费应用居然连基础的流畅度都无法保障。OneNote免费、支持多平台适配,而GoodNotes价格并不便宜,却只服务于iOS用户,居然还出现这样的瑕疵!真的不敢相信,一个付费应用在用户体验上居然比免费软件还差。

    希望你们不要回复一些诸如“重启设备”的解决办法。我买这个软件不是为了每天重启iPad,更不是为了把你们的产品当祖宗供着!重启治标不治本,真要是有用,我至于来这里投诉吗?软件收费也不少,好歹也让用户体验对得起价钱,不要只顾华丽的外表而忽视用户的基本需求。请解决这些问题!!!如果只会做华而不实的臃肿功能,而忽视软件的核心体验,那真的令人破防!

  7. Please add an option to remove animations from the app. Some animations (like opening folders, opening tool menus, etc. are extremely slow and I think a lot of people would appreciate a speedup.

  8. The new tape feature is great, however I would like to be able to write over it to see if my answers match. I know it is possible to write on tape but it’s impossible to erase it without erasing notes underneath. Please make it so that I can erase text that is only above the tape.

  9. It would be very Helpful to have the possibility to create Tables. Similar to tables in Pages or Word. It would be best to use a template with rows and columns that adapt to the size of the written content.

  11. Locking text would be SUPER helpful for iPad users. It does get frustrating when I use text and then try to draw a diagram underneath, only for it to select the text above again. When I try to put a text box underneath, it wants to select the text above after removing the spacing.

    It would be extremely beneficial to lock text so it wouldn't be selected and or touched and accidentally move it with the lasso tool, editing it again, just being a huge pain overall. The lock feature could be comparable to Canva, where you can lock a…

  12. Many college students are recommended to buy iPad 10th generation due to its ability to write notes. However, while writing notes you may miss something, so we go to the transcription bar but nothing is transcribing while we record the lecture. The transcription with audio upgrade should be added to the iPad 10th generation model due to the wide population usage of the app on that specific version of the iPad.

  13. Hello GoodNotes Team,

    I use the GoodNotes app daily for studying and journaling, and I’d like to suggest a feature that could make the user experience even smoother.

    Currently, to view two pages side-by-side, I need to enter split mode, which requires multiple steps: pressing the split mode button, selecting GoodNotes again, and reopening the file. While this works, it can be inconvenient, especially for frequent use.

    I’d love to suggest a two-page view that automatically activates when the device is placed horizontally (landscape orientation) without needing additional steps or split mode. This adjustment would allow for a seamless experience…

  14. Goodnotes can implement iOS 18's calculator AI into the app to calculate when the user types mathematical formulas, including advanced calculation formulas, something we can't do with iOS/iPadOS 18's calculator.

  17. Create a database within goodnotes to see the Notes of any student in the world, from any field or profession, I would like to share my notes with everyone and also see their notes, to learn from others and learn new things Briefly and simply. for example, if I am at a medical school and I want to learn what I will learn in the coming years, or even if I am a medical student and want to learn some new things in architecture. It would be an excellent place to gain knowledge about any subject in a simple way.

  18. I hope the Lasso tool could change the thickness of the writing. Currently we could change the color, but at times we need the thickness to separate titles from body text that we couldn't do when we are busy taking notes. This could help the note review process slightly more efficient.

  19. I love the new tape feature but I have A LOT of content that I need to tape over at a time! I would really love it if we had the option to make a box around what we want to tape and have the shape snap and fill in (like we have for the shape snap feature). My only other option currently is to make the pen as big as possible and color over an entire paragraph at once which has been very time consuming!

  20. This has been posted several times but no update from the devs about it. I NEED to be able to rotate without changing the size of a selection. This severely reduces the usability for me I know it can’t be difficult to add a lock on the size!
