  1. The ruler is used with the pen tool to write straight lines. I need it to also work with the eraser tool to erase straight lines. I am creating a drawing with sharp edges and the eraser simply passes through the ruler.

  2. I use Goodnotes for studying. So I thought that making a sheet of a study planner would work well. I can see my schedule within Goodnotes at once. I think it would be beneficial, instead of carrying study planner books instead.(= carrying studying books makes my bag heavier and also makes less room in my backpack to put more books in.)

  3. I have Goodnotes 5 and I am happy with it. I don't need Goodnotes 6. As I have bought this from you, you weren't supposed to show me any add about your new product! Please stop annoyingly showing Goodnotes 6 upgrade notification & features. Or you should add an option to stop viewing it.

  6. The new post it feature is great but i would love to have the option of making them see-through. I think it would be really useful for studying so you can put it over an image to label it and then minimise it to review. Or just to add extra notes without disrupting what’s under or if you’re taking notes of an already typed PDF file where you can’t change the text underneath.

  7. Please allow the tool bar to be moved to the sides, containing it to the top or bottom limits my ability to access all toolbar options quickly since I have to scroll to get different pen colors and time is precious in classes where the professor lectures quickly. And especially as a left handed person, I would love to be able to move the tool bar to the right side please.

  9. I would like to have the ability to print out PDFs so I can place them directly next to a picture, text or another PDF on the Canva. I know that OneNote for example already offers this and I used it very frequently.

  10. Allow the color pallet to be dragged away from its location at the top of the page, allowing for users to have quicker access to different pen colors anywhere they want on the page instead of being limited to just the top.

  11. 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.

  12. 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

  13. 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…

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. 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.

  17. 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.

  18. 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…

  19. 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.

  20. 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
