  1. When you type in a study set (with keyboard, not with pen) there is no possibility to underline or bold words or letters. This would be very useful. Is there a possibility to adjust this please? Thx.

  2. Currently, when I try to add a text box on top of an image, Goodnotes enters image edit mode instead of letting me type. This forces me to type elsewhere and drag the text into place, which is very frustrating and inefficient — especially when editing things like sheet music or diagrams.

    Please add the ability to place and type text directly on images without switching to image edit mode. This would greatly improve the workflow for many users.

  3. When I am working Splitscreen on my IPad I always have to first press the button for the style of the pen to change the colour or size of the line.
    When I am working in full screen, Good Notes shows me my selected favourite colours and line sizes as part of the bar directly able to select.

    There is enough space to enable this function in Split Screen View. It makes work more efficient and fast.

    Thank you so much.

    I have added a picture of the space, where the favourite colours should be added.

  6. It would be really useful to have the option to set a specific page, so that while you’re reading through your notes for example you’ll always see the number of pages you have left until your set page goal. Also navigating through bookmarks would be drastically easier if we had the option to organize them into sections, maybe by creating folders inside of the bookmark option. This would be really useful if for example you want to select and organize pages with end of chapter summaries into a folder inside of the same document you’re using instead of creating a…

  8. Make it possible for user to teach GoodNotes to recognize the Epsilon Ampersand symbol in their handwriting. (Currently identifies as a scribble, and immediately deletes it.)

  10. I would like to make the suggestion of a calligraphy pen. I prefer my handwriting ten times more with calligraphy pen feature.
    The first jpeg is using the apple product Freeform with calligraphy pen and regular pen. The second jpeg is Goodnotes.

    Thank you!

  11. Up until recently I was about to select my hand writing and shrink it down as small as possible. This feature was really helpful to add in small notes around my work. I have just gone to do this and realised that now you can’t shrink it beyond it’s original size, you can only make it bigger. Please can you bring back this feature, it was soooo useful!

  12. Many times we find ourselves asking: “Where did I write down that information?” or “Which notebooks contain notes on this topic?”
    A semantic index that analyzes the content of all notebooks would allow users to search across their entire library based on meaning and context—not just keywords or titles. This feature would be extremely helpful to locate related ideas, even when they are spread out across different notebooks and sessions.

  13. In a typical study routine, we watch lectures, take notes, attend classes, and often find that pieces of information from one source complement another. A diagram feature allowing us to create links between related topics would help us locate information more effectively—without needing to duplicate or copy notes between notebooks.

  14. When attending lectures, we often have both slides and personal notes. With AI integration, GoodNotes could automatically index titles to help us access topics more quickly. In the case of slides, this would be relatively simple, but for handwritten notes, it could detect titles based on pen stroke thickness, since we naturally tend to write headings with thicker lines.

  16. Please add scribble to erase and lasso to move as options to the pencil. For some reason the pencil seems to write more clearly than the fountain pen even with stroke stabilization, it’s just missing the scribble and lasso. Thanks.

  19. I have a suggestion regarding the image crop tool that would significantly enhance its usability for creative tasks. Currently, the freehand crop is limited to very shakey hand drawn selections. It would be incredibly beneficial to have the ability to crop images using basic scalable shapes like circles, squares, triangles, hearts, and stars within the freehand mode.
    Additionally, the option to draw straight lines in freehand mode that then function as crop boundaries would be a game-changer for precisely cutting out imagery. While I understand a "magic lasso" auto-crop might be complex, even the addition of the basic scalable shapes…

  20. I want that when I insert images containing text, GoodNotes should be able to scan the text so that I can copy it and search the content more easily.
