  4. I use both Goodnotes and Obsidian on my iPad and would love the ability to hyperlink text, images, objects and handwriting to a file in Obsidian. I know we can hyperlink to other notes in GN or websites but there doesn’t seem to be a way to connect to any of my Obsidian files.

  5. 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.

  6. 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…

  8. 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. 🤷🏼‍♂️

  9. Game changer app Rock Daily Planner, combine what I was looking for since first Apple pencil came. Calendar based notes with hand writing. It can replace my go- around notes management where with templates I simulate functional calendar …. My most desired approach for note taking (in business)

  10. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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!

  14. 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

  15. 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…

  16. 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!

  17. 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!

  18. 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.

  19. 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.

  20. GoodNotes 開発チーム様

    いつもGoodNotes 6を愛用させていただいております。素晴らしいアプリを開発いただき、誠にありがとうございます。

    本日は、今後の機能改善を期待し、一点ご要望があり連絡いたしました。
    それは、「ページの拡大率をパーセント(%)で表示する機能」を追加していただきたい、というものです。

    現状のGoodNotes 6では、ピンチ操作でページを拡大した際に、その倍率がどのくらいなのかを知る術がありません。
    その結果、ノートを開くたびに拡大率が微妙に異なってしまい、文字の大きさが揃わず、書き込みの体験に一貫性がなくなってしまいます。特に、細かな図や整ったノートを作成しようとする際に、この問題は非常に大きなストレスとなります。

    ズームウィンドウ機能が便利なことは承知しておりますが、ページ全体を直感的に拡大・縮小しながら書き込みたい場面も多くあります。

    他の多くのドローイングアプリやノートアプリでは、拡大率の表示は標準的な機能として搭載されています。ぜひGoodNotesにもこの機能を追加いただき、より快適で質の高いノート作成体験を提供していただけますと幸いです。

    お忙しいところ恐縮ですが、本件につきましてご検討いただけますよう、何卒よろしくお願い申し上げます。
    今後のさらなるアップデートを心より楽しみにしております。
