  1. I have an iPad Air 5th generation m1, I can’t use the pro palette function which really disgruntled me. I suggested a feature a while back suggesting an alternative optional wheel menu for the toolbar instead of the regular straight toolbar at the top or bottom, now I discover that this format is available but only for Apple Pencil pro compatible devices which is incredibly disappointing.

    I really suggest expanding the wheel/palette format to the entire toolbar, pencil pro users can keep the squeeze feature and people who don’t use Apple Pencil pro would also be able to enjoy the…

  2. Please make an option to export or share the audio recorded on the app. This would be really helpful to also have the audios on the cloud.
    Thank you

  4. For a math conversion tool, it's essential that Goodnotes should be able to recognize every mathematical or science symbol/sign. Simple symbols like the mathematical “therefore” symbol, ∴ , can't be recognized, making writing and converting one's math's notes a challenge especially in academic writing. Now I realize there are a lot of symbols out there, but one way to go about it is to take a look at the comprehensive lists at ctan.org. They have comprehensive list of every LaTeX symbol, which pretty much equates to every math symbol that can be indentified for conversion. I've attached one such file.…

  5. Add the option of a continuous page that doesn’t end (similar to notability) to help notes be kept together and make it easier to move words around

  6. It would be amazing for math notes if a plotting option could be integrated. This way to plot functions you could do it on the app instead of having to paste a picture (which is harder to easily change)

  7. As a Physics teacher I have to do so much calculations while solving numerical. It will be very helpful if we have apple math notes with all the features like graph plotting and variable detection etc integrated to goodnotes.

  9. Goodnotes orders our documents based on date, name, and type. Maybe there is a way we can order our documents however we would like as well.

  10. I like that we have three options of sorting, but honestly I would like to either manually sort the folders etc…or have it where inside different folders you can have a different option selected. To be honest having both would be awesome.

  11. It seems small problem but changing pen directly from toolbar in one tap will be game changer .. changing colour is simple we know but changing ballpoint, brush and fountain pen directly is only imagination

  12. It would be fantastic to display other Apps ( for Schoolbooks. Pdf. , etc. ) on a second screen and open a document in goodnotes to make notes.

    The normal iOS note does it in this way.
    Goodnotes directly switches to presenter Mode if i open a document and hides my digital Schoolbooks.

    Should be like shown on the picture.

    IPad make notes
    Second screen display something

  13. 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.

  14. 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

  15. It would be great to make your own custom color palettes to switch between different ones and being able to synchronize these with the color palette of for example the highlighter pen, so you can make nice notes within a color scheme

  16. Hover seems to break handwriting in Goodnotes with Apple Pencil. My handwriting looks noticeably worse with hover enabled, it's as if there are tails coming out of my handwriting even after the pencil has been lifted off the screen. Other apps seem to have overcome this problem. Please fix this as this is a dealbreaker for an otherwise solid app.

  17. I like how when the tapes are open, they look like highlighted texts, so I can read through the document without getting bothered by the tapes. And when I finally decide to quiz myself, I can just close them all at once.

  18. Once I’m in a notebook and I want to return to the previous folder almost 99% the home button brings me to the home page and I have to go through all the folders again in order to get where I need to be.

  19. If the AI could read the PDF background/template, the annotations could be put into context. This would be very helpful for planner, journals or almost any document.

  20. In the pages tab can we select multiple pages and then choose “paste into” to then paste the clipboard contents into all selected pages in the same place as the item was copied from. Eg boxes, shapes, text for tabs etc

    I know we can paste pages but paste INTO pages would be amazing.
