  1. I use quicknotes for all of my notes in class, a separate document for each day of class. It would be nice if I could use the AI feature to ask questions about a whole folder because I don’t always remember what day of class I learned a specific subject.

  3. There should be a total of all the stopwatches you have done for the day in the stopwatch history.

  4. Hello GoodNotes Team,

    I’ve been experiencing significant issues with the audio recording feature after restoring my data using an iCloud backup. Since the restoration, my audio recordings no longer sync properly with my notes. For example, when I play recordings at 2x speed, only the audio accelerates while the notes remain at 1x speed, causing a mismatch between the two. Additionally, the app crashes frequently during playback.

    I’ve seen reports of similar issues from other users as well, so it seems to be a recurring problem. This issue is severely affecting my workflow, and I would appreciate it if this…

  5. Hi there,

    Being able to collaborate on a documents is excellent.

    I would love the ability to be able to callaborate over bluetooth though. Unfortunately we do not always have the internet available when we are collaborating, and even when we do, we would rather not use the data.
    I imagine this would also result in faster updates when editing a document.

    Thanks

  6. Would like for programs like Launcher Pro and others to launch the app without the app believing you are trying to upload a file. This creates an error every time I launch Goodnotes from Launcher on my iPad.

  7. I REALLY REALLY need this feature because I used text boxes as headings in my notes and it wastes wayyyy too much time going in to change the colour each time

    It's such a simple feature I can't believe it hasn't been implemented yet T^T. I would pay ungodly amounts of money for this because it would seriously save me SO MUCH time for note taking

  8. formatting handwriting in GoodNotes is a real chore.
    For example, I want to insert a carriage return, there is no gesture to do that, or insert a tab. It really defeats the purpose if I have to go back through and apply formatting.

    Every good critique has a proposal:
    Most people hold their tablet with two hands, I envision a tool pallet on the opposite side, where the user can use their thumb to press buttons like "new line", or tab. this can later be expanded to include buttons like italic, bold, different pen colors.

    A second idea, is to…

  9. A feature that allows us to write over an image without selecting it by accident. Every time I write on images it gets frustrating when it selects it. It would be nice if images can only be selected when we click on the image tool so it doesn’t interfere with my writing.

  11. Please add a setting, so that the squeezing of the apple pencil pro switches to erase and as soon as one stops squeezing the mode gets back to the previous one. I use this a lot in the Notability-app and I got used to it so quickly, that I always squeeze the pencil, when I want to erase something...

  12. I would love to have the ability to change the spacing of the grids for the 'Square Paper' template and also set a default grid spacing size for all the different paper options for both portrait and landscape just like Notability does. So it doesn't matter which paper size you choose to have if it is either A3, A4 or A5 etc, the gird spacing size will stay the same.

  13. The search results highlight for a single word is too soft and light. It's quite difficult to find the word on the page. Please make the hilight much more prominent

  14. I followed your instructions on how to create a link between my iPad document and the Windows version. I turned on "Share Link to Collaborate" on my iPad. Then, I got the message "Uploading document...Please wait a moment." After 1/2 hour, the message did not change and I exited. Is this a bug?

  15. It would be great if you could do different things with different types of clicks and pressure with the Apple Pencil.

    In addition to a better distinction between the pencil and the finger, that if you touch a link with the finger it opens and with the pencil it does not do anything or it can be edited (it depends)

    Other useful things could be done with one, two or a hold click of the pencil and finger.

    For example, if you click (with Apple Pencil or finger) on the pen thicknesses, it will quickly change between the predefined thicknesses…

  17. It would be great to integrate an image-generating tool into GoodNotes 6, like shown in the picture. For Example, this feature would allow students to express their ideas more creatively by generating unique images that complement their written content. It would be also great for presenting their written things in class with matching pictures to the topic.

  20. It would be great to have an option to convert typed text to handwritten notes in your writing style using AI. This could be available in the select bar above the text field when you press on it, with a button labeled Convert to Handwritten Notes.
