  1. Make Text mode more science friendly

    In Text mode:
    - Being able to insert text symbols, specifically arrows, e.g. ↑→↓← and "therefore", as these are useful shorthand in notes describing processes and events (specifically medicine).
    - Recognising super-/sub-script
    - Convert to "chemical reactions" not just math

  2. When I import pdf, link to references should be enabled

    When I import any paper or pdf which has references, upon clicking on used references taking to the right reference should be enabled.
    Right now this feature does not exist. The current update is charging so much but this simple feature is not yet there even after so many posts. Other notes apps provide this feature. Kindly consider this.

  4. Collaborative Note-Taking

    Imagine a collaborative note-taking feature where users can share notebooks with others, enabling real-time collaboration on projects, meeting minutes, or study sessions. Users could see edits and annotations in real-time, making it an ideal tool for group work, team projects, or study groups. This feature could enhance GoodNotes' functionality for both personal and professional users who collaborate on documents regularly. Additionally, the ability to leave comments or tag collaborators could further streamline communication within the app. Users could share thoughts, provide feedback, and collectively create comprehensive, dynamic notebooks.

    This collaborative note-taking feature could be a game-changer for users who want…

  6. Earn Recognition for Your Handwriting Contributions: Rewards and Badges

    I appreciate the opportunity to share my feedback on GoodNotes' handwriting recognition feature. I think it is a great initiative to allow users to contribute their handwriting samples to improve the accuracy of the algorithm.

    However, I also think that there is room for improvement in terms of motivating and rewarding the users for their contributions. I suggest that GoodNotes should implement some kind of reward system or badge system that recognizes the users' efforts and achievements. The rewards could be something simple like some free exclusive stickers. And the badges should indicate the number of contributions made by the…

  8. add a page notes/summary option in pdf documents

    Hi, I would be glad if you could add a fuction, which will allow us to summarise and write notes right next to the page. I often upload pdf textbooks or research papers, but there is not enough space next to the text. For example Cambridge Spiral allows you to add a note next to the page you read, so it does not cover the text on the page. I would love that fuction if I could write the notes by hand. I think it will be useful mainly for other students who use Goodnotes to write and highlight in…

  11. Move Item(s), Images: Forward or Back 1 Layer

    Often I find myself needing to copy/paste to change the position of an item so that it is layered properly.

    Apparently, the options to “Sent to Front” and “Send to Back” have ben added, but I don’t see how to use them. This also doesn’t solve the problem fully.

    We need to be able to move by a single layer as well. The additional options to “Move Forward” or “Move Back”, would completely resolve this and the number of other requests for the same thing.

    Ideally, using the lasso tool to select any number of objects including handwriting, or long…

  12. Change layout of utensil / colors / tip selection

    I'd like to be able to remove pens/etc from the selection area so that I can access more colors / tip selections. Also the scrolling is annoying. I only need the pen, eraser, marker and maybe the shapes.

  13. Change font

    I would be very appreciate if the team add a function that I can apply the new font into my whole note pages/notebook automatically at one time, without changing the text inside the text box one by one.

    For example: I want to change my notes from Calibri font to Arial font, it took me a long period of time to change all my notes (inside the text box) into Arial font. Therefore, I hope the team sees this message and takes it into considerations. Thank you very much

    I have a samsung tab s6 lite which apparently only allows up to good notes 5 and there is no page rearrangement capability. This would be a very useful and necessary capability.

  19. Selective Lasso

    It would be nice to have a selective lasso option during collaboration so when collaborators write over each other, they can select their own (or the others) writing and moving it instead of erasing/moving both.

  20. selecting only the highlight

    I wish I could select only the highlight in the page. It is under the Handwriting toggle. I wish the pen and highlight were separate for the lasso tool so I can selected them individually.
