  1. Hello GoodNotes Team,

    Thank you for the great app! I really enjoy using the audio recording feature while writing notes, especially because it syncs perfectly with my handwriting.

    I would love to have an option to export the note with both the audio and the synchronized handwriting, either as an interactive file or a video. This would allow me to share my lecture notes with friends in the exact way I experienced them — with the timing of each written point aligned to the recording.

    Currently, sharing a PDF or exporting as images loses that functionality, and it’s a big…

  2. The standard blue color of GoodNotes is fine, but it would be great to be able to customize the color of the toolbar and tabs to your favorite color.

  4. I love using the handwriting-to-text feature in Goodnotes!
    However, I’d really appreciate the ability to set a default font, line spacing and text size for converted handwriting.
    Right now, I have to manually change it every time, which interrupts my workflow.

    This feature would make the writing and editing process much smoother – especially for people who use Goodnotes regularly for structured notes.

    Thank you for considering this!

  8. dont force the presentation mode on connection to external screen, or at least allow to turn it off. It’s a common use case to use iPad for writing while watching a video on external screen, which is blocked by your presentation

    Hello, I'm a user of GoodNotes 6 and I have a few suggestions and issues I'd like to share:

    Highlighter Layering
    When I write something and then use the highlighter on top, the highlighter covers the text, making it look very blurry. I would really appreciate it if the highlighter could automatically go behind the text by default.

    Search Function
    GoodNotes allows searching handwritten text within a note, which is great. However, it doesn't support searching content within uploaded images. It would be much more powerful if the search function could also recognize and include text within images.

    Split…

  10. 물론입니다. 앞뒤 인사말 없이 기능 요청 본문만 아래에 정리해드릴게요:

    I’d like to request the addition of a “Show in Folder” or “Reveal Location” function for files within GoodNotes.

    Currently, when working with many documents organized into folders, it’s often hard to remember or confirm where a file is located—especially when accessing it from the Recents or Search tab.

    Suggested improvements:
    1. Display the full folder path of any opened file (like in Windows or macOS).
    2. Enable a “Go to Folder” action to quickly jump to the parent folder of the document.

    This would greatly improve navigation and file…

    Subject: Screenshot Feature Request – Easier Access, Auto Copy, and Better Sharing Compatibility

    Dear GoodNotes Team,

    Thank you for developing such a versatile and user-friendly note-taking app.
    I’d like to suggest improvements related to how screenshots are captured and shared from within GoodNotes.

    I often need to take screenshots that include both my handwriting and the file’s background, especially when sharing notes with external tools like ChatGPT. However, having to use the lasso tool each time to take a screenshot is quite inconvenient and time-consuming.

    Here are a few…

  12. I would love to see Goodnotes running natively on visionOS. Right now, I'm using the macOS version with an XP-Pen tablet by mirroring macOS within visionOS, but a native app with support for the Apple Pencil or similar tablets would be ideal!

  13. Being able to type documents and adding text fields to handwritten docs is great, but the style options (fonts, text size, …) are quite limited.
    I would really enjoy more advanced typing features to make the experience of typing documents feel closer to Microsoft Word oder Apple Pages.
    I know the focus of GoodNotes is still handwriting, but just little improvements like making it more accessible/quicker to change fonts or text style (or even keyboard shortcuts) would enhance the experience of being able to use just one app for handwritten and typed notes!

  14. Hi Goodnotes team,

    The app is really amazing. Everything is almost perfect in the app.
    Only one feature is missing in this is that there should be a predefined set of shapes that could be dragged and dropped on the canvas. This would be really helpful. Thanks.

  15. I like to write notes with my pen, BUT I also keep the floating keyboard up as well so I can flit between the two as needed. Currently, whatever zoom amount you view the page, the page is anchored to the middle of the screen. It would be nice to be able to move my page to the side so that I can have my keyboard open without it covering my page. I’ll attach a screenshot of my current view. I’d like to be able to move my page to the left so I can see the whole thing without…

  17. Ok, so all my bookmarks in a document I want to be able to only see when I scroll the bookmarked pages when I press on it from that tab. For instance, in notability, all your bookmarks in that tab you can just scroll and see all of them. For classes that I have 100+ pages, and I have marked 30 pages of only the relevant material, is very inconvenient that I can only see them in the little square and to go to next book mark page I have to find thumbnail marked. I want to scroll all of…

  20. The AI Diagram generator feature is great for the “Mind Map”, although it struggles to edit mistakes, but the horizontal flow chart as absolutely awful. It’s useful and could be greatly improved!
