  1. Goodnotes is too sensitive to very low pressure pen strokes. I find that if I write naturally it adds an ugly flick to the end of my pen strokes as I’m lifting the pen from the page. I would like to configure how much pressure is required to count as drawing, or alternatively Goodnotes could detect and discard low pressure movements at the end of a stroke, after the stylus comes to a halt or changes direction.

  3. Estaría genial poder disponer en el histórico de temorizadores con los nombres creados en lugar de temporal 1, temporal 2,...

    Es decir, si se ha creado un modo de temporizador llamado "diseño", el histórico de temporizadores debería mostrar el mismo nombre "diseño" cada vez que se haya utilizado con tiempos totales por modo de temporizador y no ser genérico. Aportaría información del tiempo invertido a cada tarea con estos temporizadores.

  4. When I press Enter, the text appears duplicated — it remains in the original position and also shows in the new line. The screen doesn’t refresh automatically, and the duplicate only disappears once I click outside the text box (see example in the image below).

    This is not a suggestion but a recurring error I often experience. I couldn’t find a dedicated place to report bugs, so I’m sharing it here in case it can be fixed.

  5. Ante todo, me gustaría agradeceros vuestro trabajo, ya que me resulta de gran ayuda en mi rutina diaria de estudio.
    Más que un problema, se trata de una mejora, pero con la tarea intensiva de anotar y organizar la documentación, casi llega a convertirse en un inconveniente. Si bien es cierto que existe acceso directo a los diagramas, lo cual es útil, hay situaciones en las que se requiere un enlace a un punto específico del documento. En mi caso, suelo crear una especie de menú en la parte superior de muchas páginas con enlaces, pero necesitaría que estos estuvieran…

  7. Ideally, GoodNotes could include pre-made, fully customizable habit tracker templates. Users could drag and drop daily, weekly, or monthly grids into their notebooks, choose colors, add icons, and link them to notes or calendar pages. This would make tracking habits, goals, or routines much easier without having to design the layout manually every time.
    Thanks heardle Alex

  9. Please bring back Community Notes!! It was one of the most meaningful parts of using Goodnotes. I relied on it every day while learning Korean and Mandarin. Seeing how other learners structured their notes, practiced grammar, and organized vocabulary didn’t just help me study. It gave me motivation, community, and the feeling that I wasn’t learning alone.

    Community Notes turned Goodnotes from just an app into a shared classroom across the world. Without it, something feels missing. Bringing it back would mean restoring that bridge of inspiration and connection that so many of us truly valued.

  10. I use goodnotes for meeting notes. I would love the ability to create a shortcut or easy way to link my notes to new tasks that have been assigned or carried over to a new notebook.. happy to chat with anyone willing to listen about how this could work and willing to test it out!! :)

  11. Sometimes I'll go back during a live translation to copy down what someone said. However, when I scroll up to look at the translation, it forces me back down to the newest translation making it impossible to look at the past text while it's translating live. I would love for it to not force me to scroll and instead just have a button to take me back down to the newest text once im done.

  13. I often have to switch from searching by name, to the most recent document. Having the banner with date, name on the top center of the screen was very convenient. Either I changed a setting or the banner was removed and now a much more tedious process of going through the drop down menu. Please return the banner to the top of the page, or make it an option like "header".

  14. We should be able to organize different screens differently.
    Say that I have a main page full of different folders, with content inside each folder. I would like to be able to order the folders by title, but the content by last edited.

  15. 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)

  16. It would be really helpful to have something that warns the user that there is writing already on the document to prevent overwriting. Sometimes when writing on a page, it doesn't fully load for a very long time and turns up blank.

  17. Goodnotes has been added to windows which is great, however the user experience is poor when it comes to using something like a Wacom tablet connected to the PC. Often times strokes will be cut off half way through writing or deleted entirely I imagine this could be fixed with a quick update.

  19. I find the application very good and practical, but I think it could be improved a lot if some key functions were added. For example, the possibility of creating tables similar to those in Word, with the option to give them custom colors and formats, which would help a lot to organize the information in a visual and orderly way. It would also be very useful to have brushes to highlight, underline or customize annotations in a more dynamic way. In addition, I consider it important that documents can be sorted according to my preferences and not only by date…

  20. I wanna say yes and and improve the Index Post-It idea. It makes navigating in the digital notebook almost impossible when you don‘t have guiding index post-it‘s on the side, especially if the content of the study is already quite big by it‘s nature, like the German Grammer. Having the ability to put it would make Goodnotes equal with the paper book alternative. But having it as a Structure-Tree would make it even better.

    I have drawn a simple UX Sketch here. The idea is to give the Content Structure Tree its own extended module to be able to freely…
