  1. Allows you to add margins to select pages within your current notebook/file. This will help students who import lecture slides from a professors course page, and then they can "Add Margins" to the slides to provide additional space to take notes instead of having to write cluttered notes directly on the lecture slides. Could have multiple different margin options: increase entire border, or only add extra space above/below, or left/right of the original content.

  2. Hi, I think it would be great if we could have the option to add to the dictionary an abbreviation matching it with its full word. i.e. writing "freq." and then adding it so it matches with "frequent"; writing "w/" and matching it in the dictionary with "with". This would be great for quick note writing and "helping" the AI make sense of what we write

  3. says: Would you please send this up as a feature request? I’m making bird ID cards for a trip to Hawaii. For the answer, I would like the common name, the Hawaiian name and the scientific name (those are traditionally indicated by different italicized fonts). This is much easier to use than Anki, but flash card formatting is a bit limited. Bullets would be nice too (make another card with important field marks list.

    I would LOVE if there was a way to add audio file, so that the bird makes its noise when you look at it. It seems…

  4. The template purchases currently download as a notebook with 300+ pages that you have to manually input into custom templates page by page.

    I want my purchase to either download as the full template or have the proper system to upload the full pdf and organize between cover or page.
    Basically just be able to do a multiple page template download that's doesn't have a limit to pages downloaded at once.

  5. GoodNotes draws lots of power from my iPad Air M2, more than most games and streaming services, I'm not 100% sure where this is coming from, but I think the text recognition draws most of the power.
    So my idea would be some kind of battery-saver mode that turns off the text recognition if the device runs of the battery and when the iPad is being charged then the text will me analyzed.

  6. Building flashcards manually in Goodnotes is great but I feel it a bit hectic. There may be an extra tool which can be used to mark sections of a page or whole pages to add them to the Recalling /Memorizing list. This should auto include all the items that we mark with the Recaller tool. One should be able to see all the hard-to-learn stuff at ones from each notebook/folder. In addition, a home screen widget may be created which would periodically display a section of the note for a quick revision which would be scientifically designed like Anki.

  7. Like the new Ask Goodnotes feature, AI may be used to generate properly formatted tests in app from multiple notebooks or folders. There can be various test modes like MCQ based, Subjective, True/False etc.

  8. Different users have unique needs from a note taking software which practically isn't possible to cover in a single app UI by developers. Therefore, two MODES, a MINIMAL/SIMPLE and an ADVANCED/PRO mode should be made. The simple mode should have about the same features as Goodnotes has right now and would be able to serve the general users. The advanced mode should let users customise their app UI as well as toolbars, tools, quick features, icons positions and ribbon placements and a lot of other features as per their need. This can be revolutionary as it'll cover all types of…

  9. Goodnotes 6 is an awesome tool for drawing however these 5 options could be very useful to say the least, wether it’s for drawing or for being precise
    (some are already suggested but maybe not in the way that follows)
    These includes:

    1) A length lasso option that measures any straight segment
    (in relation to the page format, it shows the real life measurements)

    2) A new compass tool, better that the original: with custom traits, adjustable length and a GUI showing the angle at which the arc is being drawn

    3) A shape lasso option that turns any closed…

  10. Make a button to make the all top bars become invisible and back visible. Just like top right icon from sketchbook app. It will make the notes more wide open.

  11. Dear GoodNotes Team,

    I love using GoodNotes for my note-taking needs. However, I'm missing a crucial feature - the ability to hide text using an invisible strip.

    Could you please consider adding this feature to future updates? It would greatly enhance my note-taking experience.

    Thank you for your time and consideration.

    Best regards,
    Gagan

  12. It would be great if you could select the default highlight color depending on the document you're in, so that if you highlight using the text selection for multiple lines, you can have it in the colour you wish, and not always yellow. It's a bit tiresome to have to change the colour to your own preference every time

  13. I love the save as default feature, but depending on the document I will use one size or the other. It would be great to have a default font per document, just as you can choose one template per document and do not have to change it every time I write

  14. Over the last several updates the lasso tool has gotten a delay when you try to select something. It happens when you select something with a small lasso area. Larger lasso areas do not create this delay. I'm not sure if this is intentional, but it's made the lasso tool much less user friendly.

    Here are some steps to reproduce the issue.
    1. Create a line or dot with the highlighter tool
    2. Select the lasso tool (either regular or rectangular) and select the highlighted dot using a small circle
    3. Note that the dot is not selected for up…

  15. A update for audio transcript for the 9th gen iPad should be made as other note taking apps allow you to do audio transcription on almost relatively new generations of iPads. No reason to pay for goodnotes and while only certain feature are only available to people who have certain iPads.

  16. Dear GoodNotes Support Team,

    I hope this message finds you well. I am a daily user of GoodNotes, utilizing it on both my iPhone and iPad for schoolwork. However, I also own a Samsung Fold 4, which I take with me to school regularly. Unfortunately, I’m currently unable to access my GoodNotes files on this device.

    I was wondering if there are any existing or upcoming solutions to allow users like me to sync and access files across iOS and Android platforms. This feature would significantly enhance the productivity of users who work with multiple devices.

    If this isn’t possible…

  17. I am sad that a similar request had been closed so im trying again: to have the possibility to make a note sheet beside the script but in the same document would be awesome! I struggle a lot with this in Goodnotes, I use the app for all my university stuff and when I go through the documents I always have to insert a clear page and scroll. it would be nice to get some sort of note sheet or postIt beside. That would also be very practical if we want to export all the notes out the document.
    I…

  18. Allow user to be able to drag and organise different notes/folders etc into any order that they want, instead of being limited to organising them by ‘date’ ‘name’ or ‘type’. I believe that this would allow me to organise my Goodnotes app that extra step further to make it perfect.

  19. hello,
    I want to search specific things in my flashcards but theres not an option to do so, to find a flahscard I have to swip through all of them. Also, it would be great to edit/ delet the flashcard while youre doing them if you spot an error.
