  1. 1.  Enhanced Reading Mode: Introduce a distraction-free mode where the toolbar and tools are hidden, allowing a full-screen view to focus entirely on the content.
    2.  Dynamic Dark Mode: Provide a dark mode that dynamically inverts the background to black while ensuring all content adjusts seamlessly—e.g., handwriting and text turn white to maintain readability.
    3.  Customizable Backgrounds: Enable users to change the background style (e.g., colors or templates) dynamically without disrupting or overwriting existing notes.

  2. I would like to be able to change the color of my marking after I have made the marking. For example, if I have highlighted a full paragraph in yellow, but I later decide I want to change it to red, I don't want to have to start over. I would really like to be able to select that marking and change it without having to rehighlight or rewrite something.

  4. Add a grouping feature, similar to that in PPT or other MS apps, so areas of handrwriting, text, or other elements can be grouped together and moved or resized together easily, without having to tediously select desired elements with the Lasso tool.
    This way, drawings or diagrams with multiple sections can be layered and easily adjusted.

  5. As a med student that always write notes at the side i recommend paper margins which it can extend your pdf to write notes. Also layers for active recalling , its a great help and i discovered this in noteful app and its very very useful. Also the tags easy to navigate and well organized. I forgot, the suboutline also easy to navigate. I hope you guys add this features its very helpful for us students.

  7. Improve pencil drawing quality - currently too light to use and must be part of pen options rather than standalone as present.

  9. I bought an apple one-time account. By the way I want to sync my iPad with windows. So I appreciate if you provide the function for changing one-time account to annual account.

  12. Be able to autocorrect specific handwritten characters.

    You could create your own character, for example “z”, “/“, or an integral, and if Goodnotes recognizes your handwriting and “sees” that it’s similar, it gives you the option to replace it.
    Your “autocorrect” characters are handwritten.

    Additionally, being able to lasso “add” a character to this character autocorrect. As we all know, nicely written characters are usually made when you’re not trying.

    Possibly allow this feature to be a button so people can turn it on to read that specific page to reduce potential frustration with constant autocorrect suggestions.

  16. Hello Everyone!
    I write happily and motivated, because Goodnotes made my engineering studies better and more enjoyable.
    With this mindset, this thought also comes: Constrain objects to each other.
    E.g: I have a line, and I draw a circle. I want them to align tangentially. This would be awesome, since the shape recognition works amazing. Tangent is just one thing, it would be good to see other constraints, like perpendicular, parallel, concentric, midpoints, intersections, or maybe the option to define a distance between shapes/points. I know the app should remain a note taking app, but with the intro of math…

  17. I suggest adding a calculator feature to GoodNotes 6 to enhance its functionality and streamline user workflows. This feature could allow users to perform calculations directly within their notes, making it especially useful for students, professionals, and anyone working with numerical data. For example, a floating calculator tool could be integrated into the app, enabling users to perform quick calculations without leaving the workspace. Alternatively, a feature that allows handwritten equations to be converted into calculated results would align well with GoodNotes’ emphasis on handwriting recognition and natural note-taking. This addition would not only save time but also make GoodNotes…

  18. Hallo,
    ich bin Lehrkraft und nutze ihre App in der Schule an einem digitalem Board. Auf dem iPad kann ich die Toolbar nach unten setzen, das würde ich mir auch für MacOS wünschen. Leider habe ich die Option nicht gefunden.

    Im besten fall wäre es so, dass ich nur die Werkzeugleiste verschieben kann ohne die offenen Dokumente

  20. As the title suggests, I need more tape styles or more customizable tape styles. The current tape styles are too monochromatic and not very attractive. They are not smart or colorful enough, and they are not personalized or free. I hope that more support can be provided for this function as soon as possible, rather than getting stuck in AI text recognition and neglecting the construction of basic functions. Other note-taking software has had this feature for a while, as shown in the figure below.
