  2. I use split screen a lot, and I find it annoying that when I change the color of the pen and then return to the full screen, the slot has changed color. I want to be able to switch throughout the colors like I do in full screen.

  4. enable the application to automatically detect and apply OCR to imported PDFs that lack an existing text layer, thereby making them searchable within the app.

  5. I don’t have an apple pencil and I’m having a big struggle to write on Goodnotes. I’ve seen other costumers complaining about the incompatibility of the app with other pencils.

  6. 텍스트상자를 쓰다 보면 줄 간격이 조금 더 좁기를 원해서 줄 간격을 줄이면 위에 글자가 텍스트 상자에 잘려 반이 사라지는 현상이 있는데 줄 간격에 따라 텍스트 상자도 그 상태에 맞도록 바뀌었으면 좋겠습니다!

  8. 애플펜슬 필기인식으로 텍스트 상자 사용하려고 할 때 랜덤으로 인식이 될 때가 있고 텍스트 쓰랴고 하는데 텍스트는 안써지고 상자만 움직이거나 화면이 움직여서 쓰는 거 너무 불편해요 텍스트 상자 안에서도 띄어쓰기 하기 위해서 선을 그어도 텍스트 입력하고 싶어서 필기하려고 해도 상자가 움직여요 제발 개선 개발 부탁드립니다.

  9. I love this app, and I use it really frequently for school. This app is the best and most practical, one can have on their iPad. BUT, I find it very annoying and sad if I pay money for the app ( first to download it, than to use it, and after a few months i had to pay again to use the app even though I have already paid this amount , just because of a huge update) and than every time I use the app it completely shuts down, erases all my notes, and afterwards acts like a…

  10. On iOS, there is an API to do so UIViewController/prefersHomeIndicatorAutoHidden.

    Hiding the home indicator can maximum the app space that can be used, as well as prevent users from leaving the app accidentally.

  12. I hope to add support for game controllers(gamepads) and the ability to customize key mappings, so that we can use the controller(gamepads) with my left hand to control which tool to use, and use Apple Pencil with my right hand to write. Not everyone has the latest Apple Pencil Pro, which makes it difficult for those without Apple Pencil Pro to experience the quick switching of pen tools.

  14. Please add the option to be able to scroll past the margin. Right now, it is very inconvenient to write at the bottom / right side of the page, since your hand is on the edge of the iPad. Let us move the page up past its border for easier writing

  15. It would be really helpful to have a toggle in the settings that allows users to turn off the default margins when viewing PDFs in horizontal (landscape) mode.

    At the moment, horizontal view automatically adds greyed-out margins on either side of the document, which reduces the amount of space available for writing or annotating. This isn't the case in vertical mode, where the document fills the screen edge-to-edge.

    Having the option to disable these margins would:

    Maximize the usable screen area

    Make PDFs easier to annotate or edit

    Provide a cleaner, distraction-free full-screen view

    For users working on small screens…

  17. It would be really helpful to have a scrollbar that makes it quicker to scroll through long documents or notebooks. A simple, draggable bar would make navigation much more efficient.

  18. Being able to adjust the pen opacity so you get multiple shades of one color without lifting the pen and can see overlap. This really helps make notes look more realistic and aesthetically pleasing. I use max opacity on procreate and it’s perfect.

  19. It would be great to have more control over typed text formatting in GoodNotes. Specifically, the ability to change font size, color, and style—just like in word processors such as LibreOffice or Word. This would make typed notes much more flexible and visually organized, especially for studying or professional use.

  20. A scrollable, infinite page (like in Word or Google Docs) would make typing much smoother and more practical for longer notes.
