  1. Now that graphs are an option, I would like to see this being improved and features being added. I use GoodNotes for maths a lot and I would want to add two graphs in one graph view, set an interval to a graph, recolor the graphs, display intersections with other graphs or the x-axis, support for calculus and equation solving algorithms to find parameters for a polynomial, for instance. That would be beneficial.

  2. My idea is make the voice imported from voice memo or export it alone or within the file itself ( as in the pdf expert and document app ) as shown in the photo below

    Please voice this as it is crucial for every persone to save there files for the future

  3. So I don't hate the new update, but there are some things that could be a little better. Then new tool bar is taking a bit to get used to, but I genuinely like it. One of my biggest problems is the updated snap to shape. I would like to Goodnotes to snap into shape, but I would like it closer to what I am trying to draw. For example, Goodnotes will not snap into a hexagon to draw organic molecules.

    On another note, I see real potential with the arrows for the new shape update. I really like the…

  5. The latest update has the text box tools floating on the page when I type. This is a nuisance and is extremely distracting. It makes it impossible to think and write. The previous toolbar system worked just fine. Either revert back to the earlier method or allow the floating toolbar to disappear while typing.

    Please fix this pronto! Sometimes change for the change’s sake is just a bad idea. This is one of those times.

  6. Recently, the lasso tool seems to have changed — if I select just a small part of a circle’s edge, it also selects anything crossing or inside the circle, even though I didn’t include them. It didn’t work like this before.

  7. While making digital notes, ESPECIALLY for chemistry, polygons are essential for drawing rings. With the new update, we can’t even adjust each point’s position manually, nor can we make polygons other than quadrilaterals (I’ve been doing it through the pen's 'Snap to Other Shapes' feature), so please fix this as well.

  8. When importing PDFs:

    ✔ Allow users to choose “Add expandable writing margin”
    ➡️ Let us set how many cm to add on each side (top, bottom, left, right)
    ➡️ Let us select a background style (grid, lined, blank) for the expanded area
    ➡️ Optionally, allow us to choose whether the background layer appears above or below the imported PDF (this could be added later—no rush!)

    🔥 This would create a perfect page layout with the PDF on one side and structured space to take notes, do calculations, or annotate clearly.

    No more floating sticky notes or struggling with extra pages—just…

  10. Dear Good Notes team,
    I’d like to make a small suggestion that I believe would make the experience even better: the ability to change fonts in the Windows version. Right now, only one font is available, and it would be amazing to personalize our notes with different styles, just like in the iOS and macOS versions. This would help make our notes more organized, creative, and tailored to each user’s needs.
    Best regards,

  11. 굿노트로 공동 작업을 하고 있습니다.
    그런데 멤버마다 선호하는 폰트가 다릅니다. 텍스트 상자에 적용되는 글꼴을 한번에 원하는 폰트로 바꾸는 기능이 있으면 좋겠습니다.
    pc버전에서라도 텍스트 상자 글꼴 바꾸는 버튼을 편집 기능에 넣거나, ctrl+클릭 등의 방법으로 텍스트 상자를 복수로 선택해서 폰트를 한 번에 바꿀 수 있게 부탁드립니다.

  13. Allows you to add margins to select pages within your current notebook/file. This will help students who import lecture slides from a professors course page, and then they can "Add Margins" to the slides to provide additional space to take notes instead of having to write cluttered notes directly on the lecture slides. Could have multiple different margin options: increase entire border, or only add extra space above/below, or left/right of the original content.

  14. Mirror entire page, in the same menu where I can now rotate an entire page by 90 or 180 degrees.

    Use case: I want to make notes on a floor plan in an imported PDF file.
    But the floor plan is a mirror image of the actual space. So I want to begin by creating a mirror image of the page. In this case, I want a mirror of the image on the PDF page. I can also see reasons to be able to “flip” either the entire page with annotations or just an image in the imported PDF file,…

  15. When typing and reaching the end of a page, the text does not automatically continue onto a new page. It would be very helpful if the app automatically opened a new page when the bottom of the current page is reached, similar to other programs like Word or Pages.

  16. I would like to suggest integrating GitHub accounts with GoodNotes to enable synchronization between a specific repository and a designated GoodNotes directory (or a virtual directory mimicking the repository). This feature would use the GitHub API to periodically push and pull data, allowing for backup creation and facilitating tracking edits and collaboration. Considering its intended use in university settings, if the API costs become a concern, offering this functionality as part of the GitHub Student Developer Pack could be an option. I appreciate your consideration of this suggestion. Thanks.

  17. I’d like for there to be a way to “tag” cards within individual study sets a variety of colors. For example, if I have cards related to biology, I can tag them “green” and cards related to math can be “red”. When I go to study all of my cards, I want to be able to customize how many of each “tag” I want in my study session. For example, maybe I want to have a study session that’s mostly Biology with some Math as well. I would customize that I want 15 “green” cards and 5 “red” cards in…

  18. I know it's been asked a few times but none recently (from what I have seen). I think it would be the best addition for people like me who write in cursive so that our handwriting is simplified (because I put so much pressure on the pen to write neatly). Procreate has this option and it's so helpful !

  19. When selecting objects written with pen or highlighter by using the lasso tool, add an option to the lasso tool which allows you to create internal and external links just like we can currently do with text!

  20. Hi! I’ve been enjoying Goodnotes 6 a lot but I realised that it heats up a lot (Like A LOT) when using it and I use it on ipad. (Using it on ipad means I have to write and my hand gets uncomfortable and kinda red) I hope there could be a feature, like make it run smoother but emit less heat. Thanks!
