  2. Right now it is only possible to add an entire page to the Custom Outline or create a link to an entire page.

    It would critically enhance productivity if users were able to select some parts of the notebook and add it as a section in the outline, or create a link to a specific section or line of text.

    It should be possible to for instance mark some content such as handwritten text, an image, an Element, a Textbox etc. and either add it to the outline with a customized name, or create a link to some content.

    Personally,…

  3. Hi GoodNotes team,
    I love using your flashcard feature to study for the MCAT, but I’d really appreciate an option to mark flashcards as completed and continue reviewing where I left off.

    Right now, if I accidentally exit mid-review, I have to restart the entire deck, even if I’ve already gone through 50+ cards. This makes it harder to stay focused and finish large study sets.

    Thank you for all the improvements you’ve made—this one would be a game changer!

  4. I recently purchased a large template pack (70+ templates) from the GoodNotes Marketplace and noticed that I had to manually select and import each one individually. It would be incredibly helpful if there were an option to automatically import all templates from a purchased pack in one tap.

    This would save a lot of time for users, especially when dealing with large bundles, and create a smoother experience right after purchase.

    Thanks for all the great work on GoodNotes!

  5. I use Goodnotes to create, track and make notes for my guitar practice sessions.

    One of the learning methods proven effective for adult learning is “interleaving”: choosing 2 or more practice objectives and spending a short defined time alternating and/or rotating through each item in a defined time period (eg. 5 minutes per item).

    The ability to attach a timer (appt watch and / or count down) to each item on my practice sheet to set the target time and record ye actual time spent on each item. Displaying the time on the notes page vs in the timer widget…

  6. The options for a selection with the lasso tool changed recently and it now adds an extra step when I want to duplicate or change the color of the selection. I’d prefer the way it was previously where duplicate and the color options were quickly accessible.

  7. Request: Please add an option to set a default size for inserted images.
    For example, allow users to define a fixed width (e.g., 300px) for any image inserted, instead of resizing it manually each time.

  8. GoodNotes 開発チーム様

    いつもGoodNotes 6を愛用させていただいております。素晴らしいアプリを開発いただき、誠にありがとうございます。

    本日は、今後の機能改善を期待し、一点ご要望があり連絡いたしました。
    それは、「ページの拡大率をパーセント(%)で表示する機能」を追加していただきたい、というものです。

    現状のGoodNotes 6では、ピンチ操作でページを拡大した際に、その倍率がどのくらいなのかを知る術がありません。
    その結果、ノートを開くたびに拡大率が微妙に異なってしまい、文字の大きさが揃わず、書き込みの体験に一貫性がなくなってしまいます。特に、細かな図や整ったノートを作成しようとする際に、この問題は非常に大きなストレスとなります。

    ズームウィンドウ機能が便利なことは承知しておりますが、ページ全体を直感的に拡大・縮小しながら書き込みたい場面も多くあります。

    他の多くのドローイングアプリやノートアプリでは、拡大率の表示は標準的な機能として搭載されています。ぜひGoodNotesにもこの機能を追加いただき、より快適で質の高いノート作成体験を提供していただけますと幸いです。

    お忙しいところ恐縮ですが、本件につきましてご検討いただけますよう、何卒よろしくお願い申し上げます。
    今後のさらなるアップデートを心より楽しみにしております。

  10. Whenever I read a book or document I highlight texts ,please add a separate section like outline for each document where highlighted texts are mentioned and way to export these highlighted content in flash cards format.This will help many students .

  11. Using the lasso tool, when I select a title I could make it a heading, subtitle or subheading & the app would automatically recognize it and show it in the outlines tab.

  13. I’m a frequent user of GoodNotes and truly appreciate the powerful tools your app offers, especially for digital note-taking. However, I wanted to provide feedback about a frustrating issue I experience regularly when using the Apple Pencil’s Scribble feature to input text into text boxes.

    Currently, when I use Scribble to convert my handwriting into typed text, the capitalization (uppercase vs. lowercase letters) often does not match what I originally wrote. This forces me to go back and manually edit each letter to correct capitalization, which disrupts my workflow and takes up unnecessary time.

    It would be incredibly helpful if…

  15. have our 4 favorite pen colors then next to it have a drop-down arrow (just like the arrow for hidden tools) with the rest of our color palettes. That way we won’t have to constantly scroll back and forth to change our stroke settings and so we won’t have limited colors options / only 12 of our favorite pen colors

  16. I’m a high school teacher, and I rely on GoodNotes for all my classes. It’s been an essential part of my teaching. I’d like to request a feature that would make presentations and lectures even more effective.

    What I’d love to see is a “Presenter-Only Pen” feature.

    Here’s the idea:
    When preparing class materials in advance, I often want to write down talking points, hints, or solutions on the slides. However, I don’t want my students to see those notes during the presentation. It would be incredibly helpful if I could write notes that are only visible to me as…

  18. I think it would be great if it was possible to create different “views” for different topics on the same document. My ideal scenario is reading academic articles and looking for different types of information in my notes. I would like to select one or more of these categories so that only notes that have been taken in them will be visible.

    Eg: document on how to use an algorithm to solve a specific practical problem
    Different views:
    - “Practical problem”: all the notes and highlights on the practical constraints and similar problems that have been tagged with “practical problem”…

  19. The default size of the picture added to the iPad has been enlarged. The original default length is exactly half of a page of paper. Now two iPad screenshots can't be stuffed in the x-axis direction of a page.
