  1. 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.

  2. You recently released the "tape" option for your iOS system. This can help you memorize faster because it hides key values, so you can review them later. However, this feature isn't available for Android, the web, or Windows. I've been waiting and complaining for months, and you still haven't released it.

  3. Direct API Integration with Notion! I use Notion for organizing my personal life, school, and work. But I love handwriting notes over typing so Goodnotes has all my planners/notes. Right now I am unable to embed Goodnotes in Notion, but this would be extremely helpful!!!! Please collab!

  4. 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.

  5. Make the pen settings like Tip sharpness, pressure sensitivity, tip flatness etc. tailored/customised as per anyone’s choice. (Currently it offers only 25,50,75,100%)

    Please improve this and move away from “one size fits all approach”.

    Also, check the stylus pen in Freenotes app, it has really good features.
    So, I request the concerned goodnotes team to upgrade our user experience.

  6. 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

  7. I have noticed that, on the GoodNotes app for MacBook, I am unable to select or copy text from PDFs, even though the same PDFs allow text selection and copying in other PDF readers. I kindly request that you add this functionality to the GoodNotes app, as it would greatly enhance usability and user experience. Thank you for considering this feature enhancement.

  8. 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!

  9. 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!

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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…

  13. 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

  14. 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…

  15. 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.

  17. It would be great if it were possible to change the spacing or the size of the lines, grid, etc., since the default one is very large and makes it hard to keep notes neat. This option would really improve the experience, as sometimes the default templates make the notes too big and uncomfortable to use.

  19. It is inconvenient to have to erase each page one by one when deleting them. I want to be able to erase all the pages I want at once. Please allow me to erase them by selecting the pages I want to in the edit and pressing Erase Page.

  20. Many times when inserting a picture I do it to write on it but I must be very careful because it tends to move with any finger resize or displacement. could you add an option to kind of make it permanent once I insert it.
