  2. Please add bidirectional links. I use Obsidian as a Personal knowledge management (PKM) vault and love its bidirectional links and Knowledge Graph view. Being able to see how notes reference each other makes large collections of notes manageable while also allowing me to make connections otherwise impossible to see. Please add so GoodNote can be my one stop shop for note taking.

  3. Full page typing should be used on Windows aka Goodnotes Web because most windows users are on their PC/laptop. Only allowing full page typing on IOS makes sense for Apple users but what about Windows users

  4. Hello Goodnotes Team,

    I’d love to suggest a feature that could make Goodnotes even more useful, especially for students and professionals:

    1. Integrated Calculator
    • A calculator that can be freely moved anywhere on the screen, so it’s always available right where you need it.

      • It can be collapsed into a small icon and expanded again at any time, so it never gets in the way of note-taking.
      • Beyond basic arithmetic, it would be very helpful if the calculator could handle functions such as x², √, fractions, and potentially even simple scientific functions (like sin, cos, log).
      • This would make Goodnotes a…

  5. In the recent update they have some changes in toolbar, by choosing pen another bar will appear below the original blue toolbar, which will take more space for drop-down and leave fewer space for writing. As someone who often have pop-up video view while writing, it’s make me have to work will less space and have to often move the pop-up around a lot. Why don’t they just put the addition pen bar close-able or just put them back in the blue bar originally. 🤷🏼‍♂️

  6. I would like to see a feature that allows me to select some or all button to make certain actions with my notebooks or folders. I have the android/web version of goodnotes and I have to click every single document to export, move, or trash.

  7. In GoodNotes 6, whenever I use the text tool with my chosen default font, the app resets back to the system default after pressing Enter. This makes it impossible to work efficiently, especially when using dictation.

    I have already set my default font both in Settings and in the text box style, but GoodNotes keeps ignoring it. I want to use dictation to quickly capture notes directly on the page, but I can’t because the font I applied as “default” doesn’t stick at all.

    This bug kills productivity and ruins the typing experience. Please fix it immediately, or give us…

  8. Goodnotes is too sensitive to very low pressure pen strokes. I find that if I write naturally it adds an ugly flick to the end of my pen strokes as I’m lifting the pen from the page. I would like to configure how much pressure is required to count as drawing, or alternatively Goodnotes could detect and discard low pressure movements at the end of a stroke, after the stylus comes to a halt or changes direction.

  10. Estaría genial poder disponer en el histórico de temorizadores con los nombres creados en lugar de temporal 1, temporal 2,...

    Es decir, si se ha creado un modo de temporizador llamado "diseño", el histórico de temporizadores debería mostrar el mismo nombre "diseño" cada vez que se haya utilizado con tiempos totales por modo de temporizador y no ser genérico. Aportaría información del tiempo invertido a cada tarea con estos temporizadores.

  11. I would like the option to share a view-only link to my notebook. As a teacher, I want to share class notes with students without giving them editing access. Currently, I have to send daily PDFs, which is inconvenient. Instead, I’d prefer to share one live link that always shows the most up-to-date version.

  12. When I press Enter, the text appears duplicated — it remains in the original position and also shows in the new line. The screen doesn’t refresh automatically, and the duplicate only disappears once I click outside the text box (see example in the image below).

    This is not a suggestion but a recurring error I often experience. I couldn’t find a dedicated place to report bugs, so I’m sharing it here in case it can be fixed.

  13. Ante todo, me gustaría agradeceros vuestro trabajo, ya que me resulta de gran ayuda en mi rutina diaria de estudio.
    Más que un problema, se trata de una mejora, pero con la tarea intensiva de anotar y organizar la documentación, casi llega a convertirse en un inconveniente. Si bien es cierto que existe acceso directo a los diagramas, lo cual es útil, hay situaciones en las que se requiere un enlace a un punto específico del documento. En mi caso, suelo crear una especie de menú en la parte superior de muchas páginas con enlaces, pero necesitaría que estos estuvieran…

  15. Ideally, GoodNotes could include pre-made, fully customizable habit tracker templates. Users could drag and drop daily, weekly, or monthly grids into their notebooks, choose colors, add icons, and link them to notes or calendar pages. This would make tracking habits, goals, or routines much easier without having to design the layout manually every time.

  17. Please bring back Community Notes!! It was one of the most meaningful parts of using Goodnotes. I relied on it every day while learning Korean and Mandarin. Seeing how other learners structured their notes, practiced grammar, and organized vocabulary didn’t just help me study. It gave me motivation, community, and the feeling that I wasn’t learning alone.

    Community Notes turned Goodnotes from just an app into a shared classroom across the world. Without it, something feels missing. Bringing it back would mean restoring that bridge of inspiration and connection that so many of us truly valued.

  18. I know a lot of engineering students that use this app, but have to use many other apps as well to take coding, circuit or higher level math classes. I use https://www.stempad.com/editor but would rather use GoodNotes6 because of all your other great features. The code and circuit block don't even need to be functional, just formatted like code and maybe helps you code like VS Code based on the language. It just takes a lot of time going back and forth between apps.

  19. I use goodnotes for meeting notes. I would love the ability to create a shortcut or easy way to link my notes to new tasks that have been assigned or carried over to a new notebook.. happy to chat with anyone willing to listen about how this could work and willing to test it out!! :)

  20. Sometimes I'll go back during a live translation to copy down what someone said. However, when I scroll up to look at the translation, it forces me back down to the newest translation making it impossible to look at the past text while it's translating live. I would love for it to not force me to scroll and instead just have a button to take me back down to the newest text once im done.
