  3. Many times I am comfortable in writing on squared paper template but when I have to print some particular notes on plain pages then I have to change template from squared paper to blank paper paper for each page which takes total of 4 steps. To do this for hundreds of pages is very difficult

  4. I would love to be able to sort my notes by the date of their creation. This would help organizing my Notes with the same chronology like in a school class for example. Before exams, I could learn topics in the exact same order, as they were presented in class.

  5. 定規のようにオンオフができる手書き用グリッド線の表示機能をリスエストします!

    ノートの作成時は罫線やドットを選択できますが、PDFや読み込んだ画像には選択できません。
    表示のオンオフが可能かつノート自体のテンプレートには干渉しないグリッド線があれば、書き込みがさらに快適になると思います。
    ご検討のほど、よろしくお願いいたします!

  6. Make a sign here box that when applied to a template and I click it then it can bring up a window to sign on screen which is applied to the page. It would be helpful for business.

  7. Tapes to hide content - right now if the app crashes or refreshes, the tapes you’ve taken off to quiz yourself reset and hide the content again

    • suggestion- A button to manually reset the tapes that way you know what content to revisit rather than losing all your progress

    Index words on pictures- right now if you screenshot a document and upload it into good notes, the words on the picture aren’t searchable

    • Suggestion- being able to search words on images

    AI quiz questions-right now if you do multiple quizzes on a document, the AI repeats the same questions unless…

  8. I really enjoy using these flashcards for anatomy and the tape feature to cover diagrams. I wished I could send links to my friends so we can collaborate on flashcards like we can documents. We frequently are able to work on pre-labs together, but cant flash cards.

  10. The same functionality that exists for linking inside of a textbox should exist within the sticky note function, but there is no "link" function when you select a word in a sticky note. I would love for that functionality to be added.

  11. I wish the pencil opacity can be controlled, like 2B vs HB. i wish more pens/drawing tools could be edited and adjusted (or customized)

  12. automatic scrolling and smooth transitioning into new page while typing text or pasting new images instead of manually doing it. You're unable to insert images from an existing Page to a new page directly scrolling it down as it will go under the new page which is also an issue as with the texts

  13. Hello GoodNotes team,

    I’m running GoodNotes 6 on my iPad (latest version) and have purchased the “All Platforms – Yearly” subscription (renewal date: May 15, 2025) through my Google account. My Windows app correctly shows that I’m signed in with the same account and my subscription type.

    However, on the iPad under Settings ▶ Cloud & Backup, I only see the iCloud Sync toggle. I have:

    Disabled iCloud Sync

    Signed out and signed back in (using my Google account)

    Confirmed I’m on the latest GoodNotes 6 release

    …yet the GoodNotes Cloud option never appears. As a result, I cannot enable…

  14. 'm a paid GoodNotes user and generally enjoy using it, but there are a few usability issues that make the experience less efficient.

    There's no way to undo with a single two-finger tap, so quickly erasing even a couple of strokes takes multiple steps. Double-tapping the Apple Pencil always switches to the eraser instead of toggling between tools, and these gestures can't be customized, which limits flexibility.

    Accidental finger touches sometimes delete notes or trigger the paste popup while writing, which breaks the flow. Also, with the Apple Pencil Pro, using the squeeze gesture to access the lasso tool isn’t…

  15. You need to provide an Apple Pencil that works like a signature pen. As I increase the tip sharpness in the pen settings, the pen starts behaving in the opposite way — not as it should. I'm attaching an image. Please bring this kind of pen.

  16. Funktioniert überhaupt nicht... es ist extrem anstrengend, nervig und störend. Man versucht einen Text, ein Protokoll zu schreiben und ständig wird alles auf eine solch penetrante Art und Weise auto-korrigiert. Es ist teilweise sogar richtig Aufwendig dann den Text schreiben zu dürfen, den man eben schreiben will. Und ich habe meine Sprachen die ich nutze richtig eingestellt. Aber das funktioniert mal überhaupt nicht. Bin ansonsten sehr zufrieden. Deswegen Zahl ich ja dafür. Aber das ist extrem nervig und unglaublich schlecht gelöst !!!!!!!!!!

  17. This feature exists when writing on white/yellow paper, however, it does not work when using dark mode. I have to manually select the highlighted region and send it behind the pen, which is very tedious. I'd greatly appreciate an option where the highlighter will automatically be set behind pen marks.

  18. Tap a crosshairs icon on the toolbar to add a crosshairs placement tool (similar to the ruler) that automatically disappears after the very next object has been placed on the page at the crosshairs.

    The crosshair’s lines are measure marked and extend automatically AND continually to all four page edges (similar to the ruler). But, the node at the center of the crosshairs specifies the exact placement for the very next object placed on the page. The lines on the crosshairs locate that node relative to the edges of the page.

    To use the tool:

    1) Tap once to select…

  19. Share the link to a Notebook or pdf that I can share to students as View Only. Perhaps even a whole folder.
    I regularly share my Notebooks before I annotate on them to encourage students who do have Goodnotes to make their own notes, but having to select the pages of the notebook that I have been through in a lesson to then share to google drive or google classroom each time can be very time consuming.
    Having the same system as the share to collaborate except making it view only would be so useful as a teacher.

  20. I don't think I can explain it in detail in writing, but I hope my handwriting (speed) improves. Compared to Apple's pure note app and other note apps, the handwriting seems to be very slightly slower. If Apple's pure note app responds at 0.0000X seconds, the Good Note has a handwriting feeling that feels like there is a delay of about 0.02 seconds. You may not feel much difference, but when you use the Good Note while using the Apple memo app, there is a slight difference in response speed and the handwriting feels slightly different.
