  1. Hi, I am a new Goodnotes user, and selected this app for two reasons: 1) ease of use, 2) audio recording. I think the app is great! As I will be using audio recording a lot, could you please add the features below to audio recording?:

    1) Repeat.

    Could you add a button that would allow your recording to loop, replaying the recording continuously? This would help greatly when you want to hear the content over and over.

    2) Improved edit for audio.

    As other users have stated, sometimes you forget to turn off the record button, and end up…

  3. Currently, it’s not possible to use the trackpad for actions like deleting notifications or navigating within study sets. For example, you cannot swipe between flashcards in study sets with the trackpad, which makes the navigation feel clunky and inconsistent. Adding trackpad support for these things would greatly improve the user experience both on iPadOS and macOS.

  4. I’d like to be able to write notes on a page, and then create hidden pages behind it to do examples or whatever, kind of like writing on the back of a page in a physical notebook. Something that’s not another separate page that i would see when scrolling through my notes but if i wanted to see examples related to my notes on a specific page, or more inessential notes related to a specific topic, they would be attached to that page or “behind” it. This would be most useful in pdfs and math related subjects.

  5. I’d like to be able to view multiple pages side by side, for example to compare 2 pages, or have refer back to one specific page while writing on a different one. I also wish that when zooming out i can position the page anywhere on my screen; right now its only in the center and when I’m taking notes on a video for example, it would be useful to still have the whole page available for writing instead of part of it behind the video.

  6. Once we finish reading a PDF and want to delete it for good, we now have to go to the location (folder) of the file and delete. That is lot of work navigating to the actual location.
    Give us the option in the file options to trash the file.

  7. it would be great if you could add this feature on the next update. Selecting multiple pages at once to delete highlighted or handwritten notes separately. I have multiple documents that I’ve highlighted and sometimes I would like to just delete the highlighted sections but then it would delete my pen notes and it’s tedious to use the erase for just highlights

  8. Tabs should have folder capabilities. When you tap on the tab there should a way you can embed multiple notes into one tab

  9. When using the trackpad to scroll in GoodNotes on Mac, there seems to be a delay at the start. The scroll doesn’t begin immediately, and it feels like I have to move my finger a certain distance before the scrolling actually starts.

  10. I'd love to have the option to toggle off the pop up window when clicking on hyperlinks leading out of GoodNotes. It would improve my workflow so much.

  11. i use good notes on my windows laptop and can't find a way to select a few pages only from a notebook, i also think there should be a way to export only a part of the document not the whole file

  13. I'm using the Good Note 6 as an iPad, and I usually take a lot of notes. Please add an Apple Pencil tilt deactivation function in the standard pencil. I want to prevent the writing from getting thicker depending on the tilt because it's uncomfortable to take notes.

  15. In the document you are currently editing, you can set a small link to another document or a page in a document in which, for example, the same topic is described or useful additional information has already been written down. If you then click on it, the document or the page opens directly as a normal document.
    The whole thing is then displayed either as a mini-file, as with OneNote, or as a link.

  16. I wanted to share some feedback and a request for GoodNotes 6. I noticed many users, including myself, are looking forward to a new feature update we’ve seen discussed online. This feature would be incredibly useful for me, especially since I often watch tutorials on YouTube and record them on my iPad Pro 12. When I’m importing content and need to take notes, this feature would be a game changer. I’ve been a fan of GoodNotes 6 since I bought it and have seen it improve over time. I’m really hoping for a smooth integration of this feature in the…

  17. I’ve noticed that when exporting a PDF with Handwriting Recognition enabled in GoodNotes, the file size becomes significantly larger if the Recognition Language is set to Japanese and includes handwritten Japanese text. In many cases, the file size increases by more than five times, depending on the document content.

    For comparison, when I scan a Japanese document using a document scanner and apply OCR with Adobe Acrobat (Windows version), the resulting PDF file size does not increase as drastically. This suggests that the file size issue when adding transparent Japanese text to PDFs may not be unavoidable.

    I believe the…

  18. I usually type notes on my laptop using the text box setting. However if I make changes such as drawing, highlighting etc on the IPad it becomes slightly shifted when looking at it on the laptop. Thank you

  19. Remember the last position of the ruler. So if I angle it at 90 degrees and then put it away, when I activate it again it is still vertical or in whatever past position I left it in

  20. I suppose that the toolbar could be further simplified. Also, the toolbar should be allowed to move to both the LHS and the RHS, it would be more convenient for changing the tool to use more rapidly when writing!! The position of it should be moved by the drag of our finger which make it easier to chance position instead of search for the bottom in the settings.
