  1. 在使用指针功能时,希望也能开启和关闭遮挡胶带功能。我希望在授课或演示过程中,一边使用遮挡胶带,一边用指针指示内容。但目前需要从指针模式切换到笔工具模式才能使用遮挡胶带,操作起来比较麻烦。希望能够考虑改进,非常感谢!

  2. Please let us zoom infinitely. I absolutely hate having to scroll up / down, and I'd much rather just zoom in more than 800%.

    Thank you.

  3. Pen tools written with pencils in Apple Pencil are not searched at all. Please support pencil-written pens to be searched.

  4. The Apple Memo app does a good job of calculating exponential functions, i.e. transcendental functions, but the GoodNote app can't calculate exponential functions e^(-2) and exp( )... Please let it be calculated.

  5. It would be nice if you could use more pens and customize them in more detail as you want, like a ProCreative app or a concept app. Also, if you don't have a pen you want, it would be nice to have a function to customize it yourself and export or import brush files separately, and you can pay directly in the market and use it, so it would be nice to add a function to download a brush.

  6. This update would allow us to customize templates such as grid size and size ( for example make the dots on dotted paper larger). I think it would be a great and useful addition

  7. I’d love to see the ability to group multiple pages within a notebook and manage them as a unit — including the ability to duplicate, reorder, and export grouped pages.

    This feature would significantly enhance workflows for users who work with planners, journals, or recurring templates. For example:

    Duplicate a monthly set of pages (calendar, trackers, notes, etc.) to easily create the next month’s section in a planner.

    Reorganize grouped sections (e.g., move an entire month or topic section to the front or back of a notebook).

    Export a specific section as a PDF without manually selecting each page.

    Apply…

  8. DENTISTS ARE DOCTORS TOO :( I love all the notebooks, flashcards, mind maps, etc. for all other health professions, but I'm in dental school and have been constantly checking to see if anything dental-related gets added and it never does. I'd love to have some stickers, notebooks, flashcards, mind maps, treatment planning templates or ANYTHING for dentists. So many of my classmates use Goodnotes too so I know these things would be popular. Please consider adding! :)

  9. It would be super nice to be able to add other function like the “delete” touch on the toolbar when you’re using the apple pen to write. Look at the pictures if you don’t know what I’m talking about

  10. the thumbnail sidebar is larger than I remember it. My iPad is on the smaller side so I find it irritating to use the app when the sidebar takes up a third of my entire screen. I know I can close it or switch it to windowed mode but I like having it open on the side to easily switch between pages.

    Is there a way to make it smaller at all? Preferably so it’s only 1 page thumbnail wide instead of 2? Thanks!

  11. For my student with low vision and cerebral palsy, the speak screen function would be very helpful. Instead, it seems they will have to use another app. It is an unfortunate oversight to not have available in Goodnotes and it hinders access for people with disabilities.

  12. It is really annoying, that whenever i swipe up on my iPad to close Goodnotes, it also scrolls up the document. Please improve your touch detection to dismiss such swipes, so the document stays in place.
    You see this issues in the attached screen recording, where the "I am here" text will scroll up when the dock gets shown through the swipe up from the very bottom of the screen action. It will also scroll the document further, when i move my finger further up to reveal all application windows.

  16. Idea Description:
    It would be incredibly useful to be able to attach audio to a specific word or phrase within a note. This audio could be:
    • either a voice recording made directly within the app,
    • or an imported audio file (such as a .mp3, .m4a, .wav, etc.) — not just a voice recording.

    When the user taps or clicks on the word, the corresponding audio should play automatically.

    Why it matters:
    Currently, GoodNotes allows for general voice recordings, but it is not possible to link a specific sound to a specific word, nor to import an external audio…

  17. Hi GoodNotes team,

    I’d like to request a feature that allows users to receive push notifications when a collaborator edits a shared document—whether by adding, deleting, or changing content.

    This would be incredibly helpful for those of us who use GoodNotes for group study, work collaboration, or project planning. At the moment, it’s difficult to know when changes have been made unless we manually check the document. A notification feature would make collaboration much more efficient and responsive.

    Thank you for continuously improving the app!

  18. It is unfair that new users can get Goodnotes Cloud, but those of us who started paying for Goodnotes subscription for the express purpose of syncing between devices can't have it if we've signed up in the past for icloud sync. I feel I'm being punished for taking you at your word that it was already available.

  19. Hi everyone,

    I have a suggestion for improving Goodnotes, specifically regarding the zoom tool. Many users rely on this tool because it allows for more precise and therefore cleaner handwriting. However, the issue is that the resulting text often ends up being way too small.

    It would be great if as shown in the image there were an option to set the final text size before writing, so you can see how large the text will actually appear on the page, even while using the zoom tool.

    This feature would make using the zoom tool much more pleasant. I also…

  20. 1.  Batch Rearranging PDF Pages:
    

    Allow users to select and rearrange multiple PDF pages at once, making it faster and easier to reorganize large documents.
    2. Resume from Last Viewed Page:
    Implement a feature that automatically opens a PDF at the last viewed page, improving workflow continuity without manually navigating.
    3. Laser Pointer Customization:
    Enhance the laser pointer tool by allowing users to adjust color, thickness, and fade-out time, offering more flexibility during presentations.
    4. Pencil Tool Stroke Darkness Adjustment:
    Introduce a setting to control the pencil tool’s stroke darkness independently from thickness, to better replicate realistic handwriting and shading.
