  1. Notes meet Calendar

    I love the feature in the Agenda app where you can assign a note to a particular upcoming meeting. would be very nice if i could not only have every page of my notes dated and timed but also if I could assign one or more pages to a meeting in my calendar. This would require seamless integration with calendar apps like exchange or fantastical or gmail, but if done right would be epic.

    picture this scenario:

    I work in a corporate job and I am in a strategy meeting with the CEO who gives me certain…

  2. The release of Goodnotes 6 within the previous year, was great for the Apple ecosystem, but recently I have moved to Samsung and I have noticed just how bad Goodnotes 6 is on Samsung Tablets (I have the Tab S9 series).

    A progress web app can never be for a note-taking app, native apps are essential for note-taking as performance with the Goodnotes 6 web app is bad.

    The web app crashes often, the pen is laggy and most of the time my handwriting ends up looking bad comparing it with native apps like Samsung Notes, jNotes, Squid, and others.

  3. Hello there! Since the new goodnotes update is out and you must have an account (for ma my google account), Is something planned like synced notes to that specific account across multiple platforms? For example, I use my iPad to take notes and would like to edit them sometimes on my PC without syncing to iCloud and sharing via links... Its bulky, non effective.
    Thank you in advance for your answer!

  4. Goodnotes already has a website integration. I hope it can create an external embed link that works on 3rd party apps like websites, notion, and anything else simply as a view. This used to work with the website link, but since last year, it has stopped working.

  5. It would be nice to edit drawn lines (line weight, pen type, line type) in addition to color.

    I often have to delete a line and redraw it if I need a more bold line.

  6. I love everything about goodnotes EXCEPT that you are lacking this very basic feature. I am high functioning ASD (and the stereotypical sloppy handwriting) and have connective tissue disorders that make my hands hard to control on a regular basis. I thrive with visual data and organization and your app truly is THE BEST - but I always discontinue use of this app very quickly due to the absolute chicken scratch it turns my handwriting into. This is a very real accessibility issue that I am disappointed to see overlooked by a company of your size and acclaim.

  7. Two dots on the dotted paper templates are a little over 1.1 cm apart on the ruler. It would be great for drawing graphs if they are 1 cm apart, so the templates fit the ruler. The same issue applies to the squared paper.

  8. Display the thumbnails of the pages of the pdf of the left hand side on iPad. Like the Preview app. It would allow for easier page changes and going back and forth between pages.

    • there is an issue with it highlighting the correct word so it will show that the word is on the page but it won't highlight it or if it does highlight it the highlighting is not actually on the word so you still have to look around the highlighting to find the word you're looking for

    • there is a glitch that makes searching really slow so I have to retype the word a few times for it to show up

    • sometimes it says the word is not in the document but when I search on other platforms it comes up…

  9. The Laser-pointer is nice and i appreciate it. But it would be cool if you could customise colour, transparency and how long the laser will stay on the paper

  10. Eu reparei que vocês tem um modelo de educação interativa para alguns vestibulares na plataforma de vocês. Procurei por provas como o Enem ou a Fuvest, mas infelizmente não encontrei. Gostaria de pedir para vocês implementarem exercícios para esses testes Brasileiros que são bastante populares! Mesmo que não fosse gratuito como os outros eu pagaria para ter acesso!

  11. We can do that by opening an other doc, but it isn’t ergonomic.

    Having the option where you can choose one sheet of the bloc note and stick it to the side would be an improvement.

  13. Can you guys make it possible to edit and adjust the last modified date and time (similar to google photos) for notebooks it would be really helpful with keeping the notes sorted in order of last modified but also being able to make changes on the notes without them getting moved all the way to the start if we don't want them to be this would be an extremely helpful tool for university students especially it would be greatly appreciated if you could add this feature ASAP and also please include this on Goodnotes for Windows which I'm using and…

  16. Add a justified text option. The centralized and the right/left are not the best ones to organize the text and leaves gaps. It's simple, easy and very experience-changer.

  17. Goodnotes outdoes every other note taking app and is hands down my favorite BUT I keep going back to Apple Notes because I just love how the calligraphy pen/pressure just flows and writes amazing!

    Please update the pens to offer better pressure and writing. Please add better options! Please make the fountain pen to be more like Apple Notes. I just don’t feel any of the options you guys offer allow for appealing daily writing for notes and journaling.

    If Apple Notes offered everything you did I would delete the Goodnotes app just alone for the pen/writing options.

  18. I'd like that Goodnotes for ios include the posibility of having the option "Traslate" when activate the contextual menu in a piece of selected text.

  19. When a color for a pen/highlighter is selected, show a user entered label for that color for a short duration. It would appear as a tooltip just below the color. Assign a label in the color selection menu. Particularly useful for highlighters to denote term, definition, importance, etc.
