  1. I am a math teacher and would love the ability to use these tools during my lesson. I generally use GoodNotes to project the pdf version of the math book students work from. But when I have to use manipulative such as a ruler or protractor or fraction pieces I have to go back to my doc cam. I love the ability to move around the room that GoodNotes and iPad has allowed me to do instead of stuck behind my desk using a doc cam.

  2. The flashcard feature is great but there are a few features that I would like to see:

    1.) Ability to switch the Q&A sections

    After a few weeks of using this feature, there are times when I would like to flip the Q and A section of the flashcards.

    2.) Convert any page into a flashcard

    I've created a PDF file (around 60 pages) to be turned into flashcards and was hoping to be able to import it and just convert it from there. This was not possible and I had to make a template for each page, set it…

  4. Beside the Dropbox sync an OwnCloud would be cool. It gives more flexibility in using GoodNotes.

  5. Gestures would erase lines without switching to the Eraser. Allow a variety of gestures: scratch back and forth, make a proof-reader's delete stroke etc. Ideal would be a way to define your own gestures.

    This is a feature at least one other (left nameless) drawing app has, and makes writing/drawing really fluid.

  6. Can you please expand the intelligent GoodNotes 6 AI handwriting Tools with additional tools, showed at Apples WWDC 24 in the Notes App (SmartScript). I would like to see these features in GoodNotes, such as:

    1. My favourite feature: An in GoodNotes integrated AI Model that automatically improves your hand writing style in your personal writing style, as you write with Apple Pencil in GoodNotes.

    2. Also very important for me: An AI Feature that can transform your typed text into your handwritten Notes in your own writing style, if you paste the typed text in GoodNotes.

    3. An feature that enables the…

  7. Return the favorite page tab to the upper left corner. It was removed with the addition of the recording feature, which is cool but now we have to go through more steps just to add a favorite page.

  8. It would be great to have an option for dictionaries, so when we read some PDFs in a foreign language, we can make notes and just click and translate if needed.

    I know there are reading apps to do that, but they don´t provide as good tools for notes as yours...

  10. I love the flash cards they are an amazing studying tool. But when studying them, I often feel the urge to zoom into my answers as they have diagrams. Also sometimes I need to fill in a lot of information on the flashcard which means I have to write small and when I do this, it’s really hard to see them in the study mode. It would be really helpful to be able to zoom in and out of the flash cards whilst studying them.

  11. Hi, my feature request is to be able to export highlighted text excerpts. For example, when reading an article or chapter I will highlight important parts. I would love to be able to export the highlighted text bits for later reference. I would like to store them in my personal knowledge management system such as notion, roam or obsidian app. I can then tag and link them to build my second brain, so to speak... Hope this makes sense ;) Anyway, the feature request is “exporting highlighted text excerpts” from OCRed PDFs. Competing apps such as PDFexpert and GoodReader offer…

  12. it would be great to have a tool that lets you fill in a shape or a diagram, especially for hand drawn pictures that we all love to insert in our notes. Using the highlighter to fill in the shape take too much time and is also imprecise.

    please add it

  15. Add one more default pen/highlighter/etc colour to give you more colour options that you can easily switch between. Similar to using a real 4 colour pen.

  17. plain text pages would accept/display plain text input as their main content meaning that the text whole page accepts text starting at the upper left corner without the ability or need to move or position a textfield.
    In addition it would be great if Asciidoc and/or Markdown would be formatted or highlighted.

  18. As far as I can tell, the current version of GoodNotes (4.7) uses the default highlighter color of yellow when highlighting selected text with the "highlight" button. It would be great if GoodNotes could use whatever the currently selected highlighter color is, as I often use multiple colors of highlighters on a single document, and find the highlight button to be a far more accurate method of making crisp, accurate highlights than using my finger or stylus.

  19. The auto recognition shape feature is pretty cool, but I can't always draw the perfect square or triangle I'm looking for. An idea would be adding a feature to the auto recognition that allows you to drag/resize the shape once it has recognized your drawing.

  20. Please allow for more options when spacing the distance between paragraph lines. Right now, the lines are spaced at a "double-space" distance.
