  2. Integrating Apple Intelligence alongside GoodNotes’ own AI features would enhance productivity and create a seamless workflow for users. While GoodNotes offers rewriting and correction tools, Apple Intelligence can complement these by providing faster, system-wide text improvements and edits. Users would still value and continue using the paid version, as GoodNotes’ unique AI capabilities and other premium features remain essential, making the app even more compelling overall.

  3. Hello Goodnotes Team,
    First of all, thank you for the amazing app. I use it daily, and it really improves my medicine study routine.
    I’d like to suggest a new feature for the highlighter tool:
    When I draw a highlight over text, Goodnotes could automatically detect the height of the text (based on the difference between two points) and adjust the highlighter size to match it.
    This would make the highlighting process much smoother, since I wouldn’t need to manually select the thickness each time. It could work similarly to how text selection already detects line height, but applied to…

  5. In the recent update they have some changes in toolbar, by choosing pen another bar will appear below the original blue toolbar, which will take more space for drop-down and leave fewer space for writing. As someone who often have pop-up video view while writing, it’s make me have to work will less space and have to often move the pop-up around a lot. Why don’t they just put the addition pen bar close-able or just put them back in the blue bar originally. 🤷🏼‍♂️

  6. I always extend the height of my pages manually when i reach the end so everything stays on one page. That's why I propose an alternative to the "create new page" button when this happens.

  7. I want to write on the screen and use it as Google Docs or Obsidian, Notion, etc. But it doesn't have any fonts and I want to take written notes on it because handwriting everything or using text boxes is tiring.

  8. Subject: Suggestion: Option to disable auto-switch from eraser to pen

    Message:
    Hi team,
    Could you please add an option to turn off the auto-switch from eraser back to pen?
    It would make the workflow more flexible. Thanks!

  9. Its like the highlights app. It would be best if what i highlighted will automatically be inserted into a file that will serve as my notes wherein i don't have to type anymore and that i can then export it as a pdf file

  10. Hi there!

    I absolutely love Goodnotes and the direction of BETA. However, during my experimentation, I discovered a limitation compared to Miro. For the record, I believe Goodnotes’ writing experience is significantly better than Miro’s. Nevertheless, I need connectors that function 2-way in relation to handwritten items. (SEE VIDEO)

    https://share.zight.com/Apud8dAe

    As you can see in the video, once I connect handwritten items in Goodnotes, both ends of the connectors don’t move in sync, as Miro’s connectors do. This limitation is a critical one in my note-taking and mind mapping process. I do see this works fine with shapes, but not…

  11. Hi GoodNotes team,
    I love using your flashcard feature to study for the MCAT, but I’d really appreciate an option to mark flashcards as completed and continue reviewing where I left off.

    Right now, if I accidentally exit mid-review, I have to restart the entire deck, even if I’ve already gone through 50+ cards. This makes it harder to stay focused and finish large study sets.

    Thank you for all the improvements you’ve made—this one would be a game changer!

  12. I recently purchased a large template pack (70+ templates) from the GoodNotes Marketplace and noticed that I had to manually select and import each one individually. It would be incredibly helpful if there were an option to automatically import all templates from a purchased pack in one tap.

    This would save a lot of time for users, especially when dealing with large bundles, and create a smoother experience right after purchase.

    Thanks for all the great work on GoodNotes!

  13. The options for a selection with the lasso tool changed recently and it now adds an extra step when I want to duplicate or change the color of the selection. I’d prefer the way it was previously where duplicate and the color options were quickly accessible.

  14. Request: Please add an option to set a default size for inserted images.
    For example, allow users to define a fixed width (e.g., 300px) for any image inserted, instead of resizing it manually each time.

  15. Whenever I read a book or document I highlight texts ,please add a separate section like outline for each document where highlighted texts are mentioned and way to export these highlighted content in flash cards format.This will help many students .

  16. I’m a frequent user of GoodNotes and truly appreciate the powerful tools your app offers, especially for digital note-taking. However, I wanted to provide feedback about a frustrating issue I experience regularly when using the Apple Pencil’s Scribble feature to input text into text boxes.

    Currently, when I use Scribble to convert my handwriting into typed text, the capitalization (uppercase vs. lowercase letters) often does not match what I originally wrote. This forces me to go back and manually edit each letter to correct capitalization, which disrupts my workflow and takes up unnecessary time.

    It would be incredibly helpful if…

  17. have our 4 favorite pen colors then next to it have a drop-down arrow (just like the arrow for hidden tools) with the rest of our color palettes. That way we won’t have to constantly scroll back and forth to change our stroke settings and so we won’t have limited colors options / only 12 of our favorite pen colors

  18. I’m a high school teacher, and I rely on GoodNotes for all my classes. It’s been an essential part of my teaching. I’d like to request a feature that would make presentations and lectures even more effective.

    What I’d love to see is a “Presenter-Only Pen” feature.

    Here’s the idea:
    When preparing class materials in advance, I often want to write down talking points, hints, or solutions on the slides. However, I don’t want my students to see those notes during the presentation. It would be incredibly helpful if I could write notes that are only visible to me as…

  19. There is a very bad lag on good notes. I copy and pasted text and when I clicked on it, the text disappeared. Also, I don’t like that it fills in words for me because I’m typing the word and then it looks like this- Virusirus. It’s very frustrating.

  20. Hi GoodNotes Team,

    I’d like to suggest a few improvements for the pencil tool:
    1. Stroke darkness:
    The pencil looks too light even with normal pressure. It would be helpful to have an option to adjust the stroke darkness or opacity.
    2. Tilt sensitivity:
    The writing changes too much depending on the Apple Pencil’s angle. It would be great to allow users to adjust tilt sensitivity to fit their writing style.

    Thanks.
