  1. I definitely think the “Audio transcribing feature” should function on all iPad models. As it is a great tool for taking notes during class and multiple other things.

  2. Similar to Microsoft Notes , it would be cool to include a document feature that I could also write on, like on the website mabe. For example, with Microsoft Notes you can type in the notebook on you computer, and then using the Microsoft Notes app (on tablet) you can also write on that same notes page. I know we can type notes onto goodnotes, however I like being able to type on my macbook and then if i want to write, transfer over to my ipad.

  3. Adding a dropdown menu for folders in the left toolbar, akin to Notability and OneNote's setup, would streamline navigation, especially for users juggling multiple categories of notes or documents

  4. 1) Make curves with more than 3 points because I like to make vector drawings and it’s really hard to make a variety of curves when limited to 3 points

    2) Add a grouping feature which allowed you to move sections instead of the individual components more easily

    3) Adding some version of editable layers would make creating images and diagrams easier instead of doing “move to front” or “move to back”

  5. Since there have been a lot of updates to the text and (convert handwritten) Math features recently, it would be great to add a Mode to type mathematical notation, ideally optimised for the MacOs App. Could be similar to Word math mode or ideally support latex notations.

  6. Hi team,
    Could you consider adding a "Free Up Local Space" feature, similar to macOS iCloud and windows OneDrive file management? This would allow users to remove local copies of documents while keeping them in iCloud, saving device storage. Files could be re-downloaded when needed. Thanks!

  7. Hello,
    I think that it is highly inconvenient that the tape tool becomes uninteractive while reviewing cards in the smart learn mode, both tools are extremely practical and I think that being able to combine the two of them would increase the learning experience.
    We could then make flash cards with sentences where the key words are covered with tape to see we know it in depth.

  10. Es wäre hilfreich, wenn die ganze Funktion Smartes lernen ausgebaut werden würde und in einem eigenen Bereich leichter die Aufgabenliste für den Tag zu betrachten ist. Dann könnte man einen Kalender des Monates einblenden sodass angezeigt wird, wenn man die Karteikarten für den Tag bearbeitet hat. Vielleicht ist der Tag dann farbig hinterlegt. So wird man motiviert und das ganze System ist auch übersichtlicher. Häufig fällt einem nämlich gar nicht richtig auf, dass für den Tag Karteikarten zu lösen sind.

  11. It would be great to have a feature where double-tapping on the pen thickness icon lets users seamlessly toggle between line styles, such as solid, dashed and dotted. Instead of having to open the context menu.

  12. I’m using goodnotes in my class to teach and like to make the timer visible in de presentation mode. This way students can see how much time they for a certain practice. Can this be done?

  13. It is now possible to export directly to one drive but not to Sharepoint. For business use, I want to be able to export to Sharepoint.
    Currently, I mail it to myself first and then download the file and save it manually.

  14. I suggest the function of short-answer questions. Currently, I know that there is the function "study set", but we can pass a question despite we didn't memorize it accurately. So, it can be prohibited by make the type of question of "short-answer question".

    More specific form is as below.
    Form of the document is same with the study set. However, the method which it tests us will become "short-answer questions". Only if we write the accurate answer, we can pass to the next question. If we don't know about the answer, click the 'answer' button, then we can see the…

  15. As Goodnotes 6 already have Tape funtion, but I assume, the “Toggle” funtion as provided in Notion app would do wonders, esp for students, or anyone and everyone who uses Goodnotes for Notes taking and Revising the same.

  16. I like the spell-checking and automatic math features in Goodnotes, but I find it jarring to look at text in my own handwriting next to text in the built-in "handwriting" font. I think it would be really cool to make it so when you autofill an equation or use the spell-check feature it maintains the style of your handwriting instead of using a stock handwriting.

  17. I’ve noticed that the lengths on the ruler do not align perfectly with the boxes on the checkered sheets. Fixing this alignment issue would greatly improve accuracy and usability.

  18. I would like to suggest adding two new tools: a geo triangle and a compass. These tools would significantly enhance the functionality of the app, particularly for mathematical tasks. A geo triangle would make it easier to draw precise angles and lines, while a compass would allow users to create accurate circles and arcs. Both tools would be invaluable for students and improve their learning experience.

    Additionally, I’ve noticed that the lengths on the ruler do not align perfectly with the boxes on the checkered sheets. Fixing this alignment issue would greatly improve accuracy and usability.

    Thank you for considering…

  19. Easier sorting of tabs. I usually have 10 documents open at the same time. If I want to change the order, it requires a lot of dexterity. Perhaps a move function with arrows could be implemented. Thank you very much.

  20. Hello. I would like to thank you for contributing to my convenience by creating GoodNotes and for always trying to make GoodNotes more user-friendly.
    I have two feature requests for the outline.
    1. I would like to be able to reduce the text size of the outline.
    When I open the outline in the sidebar, the outline title is almost completely cut off.
    When you open a PDF in Preview on Mac OS, I think the size of the outline title on the side is appropriate. Even if it is not the exact same size, it would be really nice…
