  1. 檔名較長時在修改檔案名稱的時候常常按不到最前面跟最後面,會一直跳出。
    螢光筆希望可以出水平直線功能,不是畫了按住不放才直線,這樣要等很久,而且只要稍微歪一點,就會變成斜直線,要有一個可以強制開啟水平直線的功能。

  2. Hello GoodNotes Team,

    I use the GoodNotes app daily for studying and journaling, and I’d like to suggest a feature that could make the user experience even smoother.

    Currently, to view two pages side-by-side, I need to enter split mode, which requires multiple steps: pressing the split mode button, selecting GoodNotes again, and reopening the file. While this works, it can be inconvenient, especially for frequent use.

    I’d love to suggest a two-page view that automatically activates when the device is placed horizontally (landscape orientation) without needing additional steps or split mode. This adjustment would allow for a seamless experience…

  3. Your minimum os requirement is way too high for me to enable icloud sync. My old computer is fine but to enable sync I have to upgrade my os which my old computer does not support. I would not subscribe goodnotes for a function I cannot use. It is impossible for me to buy a new computer just to be able to use the new version of goodnotes. Stop forcing me to upgrade my computer os. You need to be more inclusive!

  4. Extend margin function. (similar to Note+ app)
    It is useful to take notes on a reading document.

  5. Could you please add support for turkish language transcription in the audio to text feature?
    And it could be great to have an option to send recorded audio separately to others

  7. my handwriting is quite inconsistent and i think it would be a cool idea to have good notes recognise the letter you are typing and change it to a selected ‘font’. i know that i could just type but i much prefer to write my notes because that’s how i memorise well but i find myself rewriting a word multiple times to just make it look nicer. you could also go a step further and allow users to create their own ‘fonts’. this way it would be corrected to be neater but it would still stay in their handwriting. i…

  8. Sometimes I’m searching for many different textbooks and I don’t know which is already opened. I really wish that you can choose to leave the tabs of textbooks open while navigating through all the folders. It would be also a lot easier to get back to the document without opening a second one or going back through folders to the one that’s already opened.

  9. Current Situation
    As it stands, GoodNotes users have to choose between white or black paper at the beginning of a notebook, which stays fixed throughout. This setup has its limitations, particularly for those who frequently switch display modes to adapt to different environments.

    The Proposal
    What if GoodNotes could automatically switch between white and black paper when toggling between light and dark modes? This would be similar to how the iOS Notes app operates, where the paper color changes seamlessly with the mode. Notability also has a similar feature, and incorporating it into GoodNotes could enhance flexibility and usability.

    The…

  11. Now that we got dashed and dotted lines, I think it would be a great improvement to add the option of an arrowed line, just ending the line you're making with an arrow, I find that this would upgrade the note taking experiencie and a lot of people would find it very useful

  13. Ask goodnotes is a good thing but needs some pretty obvious, low hanging improvements to be really usable.
    When you select "translate" from the quick actions in "Ask goodnotes" you need to enter the language every time! This is incredibly annoying. Obviously it needs to remember your selection.
    In addition, the language defaults to the language of the text, which is, in gentle terms, less than intelligent. Make it default to English or to the system's language....

  14. Ask goodnotes is a good thing but needs some pretty obvious, low hanging improvements to be really usable.
    When you mark a text and do "ask good notes", and then you want to repeat it for a different text, there's no reason why you should tap ask goodnotes again, the selection inside the "ask goodnotes" tab should automatically get updated.

  16. I work for a local government entity and I have several investigators that purchased goodnotes to use for their investigations. Due to this product not being a CJIS approved (certified app) they are not allowed to install and use the application on their departmental ipads. Is there any plans to get your product CJIS approved.

  17. I hope you introduce the catalan language in hand writing recognition. At this point the feature is useless for me.

  18. As it was available in the previous GoodNotes version! I can NOT write neatly without the zoom tool. Why was this feature taken away? :( Also a ruler tool was introduced, but it is not available for flashcards… Again – WHY?
    I had perfected GoodNotes flashcards, now they are completely useless to me. :X
    PLEASE MAKE THIS TOOLS AVAILABLE!

  19. The Pencil-tool is great and I love writing with it! Unfortunately I can‘t see what I have written with it, when I go to side-view. Please make it visible, as I then can see what I have written and it makes it easier to find old pages.

  20. I am writing to suggest some features that I believe would enhance the user experience of GoodNotes.
    As a regular GoodNotes user on both iPad and Mac, I would like to propose the addition of Page Up and Page Down functionality. Currently, users need to manually click the up and down buttons to navigate between pages, which is rather cumbersome and time-consuming.
    Additionally, I would appreciate having a dedicated keyboard shortcut for the "fit to page" view function, which is currently accessed by double-tapping. This would streamline the workflow significantly.
    These additions would greatly improve the navigation efficiency and overall…
