  1. As someone who struggles with a physical illness (hand tremors), having a drawn line snap to the background grid of a page or having anything snap to a grid pattern of a page, would really, really help. It seems bizarre that this very basic feature is not available as its available on Notability. It's the single reason I can't switch over completely to Goodnotes, as just about everything is great, except for that very, very important feature.

  2. Implementation of an advanced AI Math Assistant in GoodNotes 6, offering features similar to MathNotes in iPadOS 18, but with additional capabilities to control and improve handwritten mathematical notes and calculations on personal PDFs. The goal is to create the ultimate AI tutor experience for all types of mathematical functions and calculations using AI.

    Details:

    1. Intelligent Text Recognition and Correction:

      • Handwriting Recognition: The AI Math Assistant should accurately recognize handwritten mathematical formulas and equations. It should automatically detect calculation errors in equations or computations, correct them, and display the correct solution. The assistant should identify mistakes in handwritten calculations and…

  3. Goodnotes 6 should be able to add a feature wherein a request for authentication code is sent first before deletion of account. Sometimes people “misclick” the delete button account which made other devices log out of the account. It is a hassle for everyone 😫

  4. It would be really useful to have the same expanded font choice for a keyboard entering and handwritten text to typed text that you offer using the text tool in the box. I’m a creative person, and I like to choose my font to type in.

  5. Study sets should be exportable to Anki or other flashcard types so you can easily share them with others.

  6. While recording audio, GoodNotes should periodically autosave and start a new recording, e.g. once per hour. This would break the recording into hourlong chunks. This functionality is available in Notability, for example.

    Use case: if the user forgets to turn off recording, it’s easier to delete unnecessary recordings later by looking at the timestamp.

  7. Add an option for the pen tool that would smooth out handwriting (similar to a feature in procreate.) I can get really picky about my handwriting and will spend 5x as long writing a sentence trying to get the jitters and bumps out of the hand writing.

  8. Have a feature similar to photoshop, where you can adjust the smoothing of your lines. This would make drawing shapes and diagrams easier, also make handwriting notes easier for those with a shaky hand.

    For both iPad and Mac please

  9. Please add the ability to edit keyboard shortcuts. I have a very specific setup and being able to assign keys where I want them is a very important factor in workflow.

    I am glad there is keyboard support at all, but I can't imagine this is beyond the ability of your staff to add.

  11. If you want to add some extra points to your note, but you don't have that much space left, you can use the “insert note” feature, where a small icon can be placed anywhere in the note. When the icon is touched a small note pops up , where one can write. This feature is already there in other pdf annotating apps. I have attached screenshots of another app.

  12. When I complete flashcards, it says there is a time I should come back to review it again. Would be nice to have a notification to remind me on the day.

  14. It would be great if there was a mode wherein all the text that you highlight (using a specific tool designated for this mode), would be hidden (the text disappears but you see a blank line in its place). When you click on the blank line again, the word will reappear (then clicking another time will make the word disappear) -- basically it's becomes a mini flash card/ fill in the blank option!

    Also, this would only apply when you turn the mode on. Once its turned off the file is back to normal/original form and you won't see which…

  15. When text is added on one page, Goodnotes could automatically add another page below the current one, so we don't need to pull to add page as we go. Although the pull feature works, it would be nicer if this was done automatically so the user can continually write without breaking up their flow to add a page. The last blank page could be excluded from page exports as well.

  17. It would be great if we could fill the shapes that we create with more unique fills. Not only will this make the process more creative but it would also make our visuals more understandable.

  20. Add option to change page template of entire document (pages) all at once.

    I use "squared paper" template when I write notes. It helps in maintaining a good hand writing experience. But to review/read, a white background feels much better to go through. Also while exporting it as pdf, blank background is better to read with. It very tiresome to change individual template of 200+ pages individually.
