  1. When we create a link to another page within our documents we currently have to specify by page number. For documents with many pages it's not helpful having to remember which page has what information.

    All the pages can be renamed, so it would make sense if those names were displayed in addition to the page number.

    That would allow a quick way of identifying and linking to a specific page.

    The thumbnails that do show are often far too small to allow you to see the page's content.

  2. I love the possibility for bulleted and numbered lists, but would love more options like stars or smaller dots or squares. just more customisation in the text documents. like being able to change background colour maybe.

  3. The font on the flash card should be able to be edited, and/or you should be able to scroll through the text on the flash card if the entire text is not readable on the card.

  4. It would be really helpful if you could type like on word with regular line break and just leave space for drawing/graphics. That would be perfect

  5. I have docs in different languages (with different alphabets) and I would like to be able to have a different font for each one, to avoid changing it every time I change a document

  6. Dear Goodnotes Team,

    I hope you are doing well. I am writing to share feedback regarding a recent change in the selection tool behavior in Goodnotes Web.

    After the latest update, whenever we select elements on the canvas, several options such as Copy, Cut, Transform, Change Color, etc., automatically appear directly on top of the selected content. This makes the canvas look cluttered and makes it harder for both teachers and students to clearly view or reposition the selected items.

    Earlier, the selection experience was much cleaner. When using the lasso selection tool, only the blue dots appeared around the…

  7. The amazing LaTeX conversion feature is currently hindered by the need for us users to manually insert LaTeX code (like \textcolor{...}) whenever we want to change the color of a rendered equation.

    To significantly enhance our experience, I ask you to integrate the standard Text Color Picker to allow for direct, easy and instant color changes upon selecting a converted equation. Implementing this would automatically handle the underlying code changes, making it extremely practical and fast to style the converted equations.

  9. When recording, or even post recording,would be good to show different speakers like otter does. Even if it says speaker 1, 2. The nest obvious build would be to rename the speaker 1 and speaker 2 etc…

  10. We want to create each notebook to have its own font, font size, font colour, Pen, Pen size and pen colour as well as our own colour palette so that every time we go into each of our notebooks they will have their own formatting setup. Thus please create the option to save different colour palettes etc.

  11. I would like to suggest adding support for using the laser pointer in the whiteboard mode. It would be very helpful if the laser pointer were available there as well.

  12. I want to be able to set the default text size, font, etc., for when I convert my handwriting to text. Some pages it spits it out huge, sometimes not. Consistency would be a game changer, and a space saver.

  13. When exporting a large selected area as a PDF, handwriting often becomes pixelated or blurry.

    It would be helpful if users could draw an “8” shape with the selection tool to divide the selected area into multiple regions. The intersection of the “8” could act as a separator, allowing Goodnotes to automatically export the content as multiple PDF pages (two or more, depending on the gesture).

    This feature could work on both Whiteboard and Notebook pages, making it easier to export large handwritten notes while keeping the text quality high.

    1. Could you add an option to make autoshape tool as sticky tool. I usuanly draw shapes, add connection to them, adjust size and position, then keep on drawing. After adjust shapes, it gets back to Lasso tool automatically, then I need to switch back manually every time I want to keep on next shape.
    2. Another thing is about the connector. Could you add a function so I can delete intermediate point on a connector. Too many relay points make the connector difficult to adjust.

  14. I don't know the situation on iOS, but on Android, GoodNotes isn't available in my Country. I live in Uruguay, a Latin American country with advanced technology. It's a real shame that the app isn't available in much of this region. I'd really like to be able to use it.

  16. Hi!
    I’m a student still using GoodNotes 5 and I really love it. ❤️
    Unfortunately, not everyone can afford to upgrade to GoodNotes 6, so I kindly ask if you could add a few small updates to version 5 — like more pen settings or simple improvements. Nothing big, just small things to help students like me.
    Thank you so much for your amazing app! 🙏✨

  17. I would love to see a hint option added to the study cards. I believe it would add to the effectiveness of the memorizing process for many of us. Sometimes I just need a word or two to get me pointed in the right direction.

  18. Goodnote 7 feels like Badnotes.
    To improve it, I suggest restoring the following features:

    • The smooth performance of Goodnotes 5 (especially the instant PDF rendering)

    • The toolbar layout from Goodnotes 5

    • Keeping the “crumple-to-erase” feature from Goodnotes 6

    • Keeping the folder organization feature from Goodnotes 6

    I propose releasing “Goodnotes 11,” combining the best features of Goodnotes 5 and 6.

  19. I really miss the consistent style of the pen before the most recent update, the new pen is thicker and thinner in different places and its honestly unusable for me. I also miss the feature that you guys had a little while ago with the magnified writing box, it really helped with writing long sentences and streamlining note taking :)
