  1. the sticky notes are searchable while expanded...but the instant you collapse them the content can't be searched..Also image addition to the sticky notes should be feature. And the text in the added images(screenshots) should be searchable as well.

  2. Please have the option to have a "hide author" option as default when writing a sticky note. I really don't want to remove and toggle it every time I write on a sticky note. Thank you, Goodnotes!

    1. PDF Outline (Table of Contents) Usability

    Problem:
    In large PDFs, the outline panel truncates headings with “…” after a few words, making it difficult to quickly identify sections—especially in dense medical textbooks with similar headings.

    Suggestion:
    • Display full heading text in the outline panel (either via wrapping or expandable view)
    • Improve readability and navigation by allowing users to clearly distinguish between sections at a glance
    2. View Modes & Reading Themes

    Problem:
    Reading long PDFs for extended periods can be visually tiring, and navigation options are limited compared to dedicated PDF readers.

    Suggestion:
    Add flexible viewing and display…

  4. 아이패드 프로에서 가로화면으로 사용중인데 텍스트문서 파일을 생성하고 작성하면 저렇게 화면의 일부만 사용가능합니다. 양옆의 큰 여백이 계속 있어요. 이 여백을 없애고 텍스트문서를 꽉차게 보고싶어요.
    그리고 텍스트문서에도 일반 노트처럼 페이지를 나눠서 페이지 넘기기 기능이 생기면 좋겠어요.

  5. I wanted to have a pet that will be on your screen where you can interact with it and you can study with it. Also you can get snacks/change its appearances the more you study/write notes.

  8. Instead of copying and pasting the text piece by piece, I’d like to copy and paste the entire text and then split the text box by selecting it with the lasso tool, turning it into its individual box.

  9. An easy integration to add easy notes for the existing calendar on your device.
    It would be great to have a list of your calendar items and them add notes to it.
    Also a category for different kinds of notes and if you click you on them you get a list with every note taken with the dates. See pictures.

  10. Two features I used regularly in with Word Documents or in OneNote is the ability for tabbed bullet lists (sub bullet lists). Also the ability to (when typing) create a simple chart to type input (multiple rows and columns to type) would be a huge improvement.

  12. I’d like for that same view of collapsible folders and notes when importing documents to be on the sidebar, it would be useful to be able to see multiple notes/folders at the same time

  13. Hi i’d like a search tool for when you’re adding a document to link a page. I have some reference documents that are way too long to remember which page i want to link to a current document and it’s too much scrolling once i do find the page i want to link. I’d like when i pick a document to link to be able to search for a specific term/phrase and any pages that include that term to show up so i can see easily which page i want to link.

  14. Currently, there is no iPad app that allows video (screen + optional audio+facecam) recording while taking handwritten notes in an integrated way.
    Adding this feature would clearly set GoodNotes ahead of all competitors and turn it into a complete learning and teaching platform, especially for students and educators.

  16. Hello GoodNotes Team,

    As a long-time user who relies heavily on iPad screen mirroring for teaching and presentations, I’ve encountered a major pain point that makes it impossible to present and check reference materials simultaneously on a single device.

    I found that GoodNotes' "Presentation Mode" (which is supposed to show a pure UI-free view on the external screen) immediately breaks down and reverts to global screen mirroring—exposing my toolbars, background, or other apps—in the following scenarios:

    During Screen Mirroring / AirPlay, if I pull up another app using Slide Over or Split View on the iPad.

    When connecting to an…

  17. I’m currently using an Apple Pencil tip that’s optimized for 0.38, so I usually set it to that thickness. However, the available options are only 0.3, 0.35, and 0.4, which feels a bit limiting. It would be great if we could set more precise values like 0.38 or even 0.28 for finer control!

  18. I know that using "editable" PDF export, the outline is appended. But this type of export is absolutely huge and provides no use for someone to whom I just want to send my notes. It would be much appreciated to be able to export "flattened" PDF with outline.

  19. It's really annoying to erase the tape one by one
    There must be a lot of people who use it exclusively for learning
    Covering the entire tape It would be really convenient to put a function to cover the entire tape in the place of the tape tool, but it's a shame that there's no simple function like this. Whenever I turned the page, I covered it one by one, moved on, and bought it with money, but I think I can put in a simple function like this
