  1. Like in Apples Keynote App, when connected to a beamer I have the posibiltiy to make annotations for the current slice. There are different colored pens and a kind of Laserpointer tool (a glowing red dot or so). This is great for demonstrating things, whithout manipulating the current slice.

    Same would be great for GoodNotes - as a teacher I use GoodNotes as a Replacement for the traditional board. At the moment I do a workaround by undoing the pencil strokes I made for showing things on the current sheet.

  2. Since there is an audio record feature, why not add transcription feature and AI-based auto notes generation. This way we do not need to pay for multiple apps and stick to our beloved Goodnotes for everything.

  3. 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 !

  5. Graphite Pencil is a must, flow by moleskin has a great pencil it really enhances the note taking experience. If Goodnotes had this capability it would become my sole note taking app.

  6. ● add a color picker tool, how hard is that?
    ● add more than three colors to your paper templates (pink, blue, green, purple,...etc) THAT DON'T REQUIRE MORE MONEY of course. Add them like it is a default. Not only (dark grey, yellow and white) it would be perfect if we can make the color chosing the color wheel.

    ● add rulers and a protractor 📏 📐
    ●add a way of being able to change the entire app appearance (like the color of the bar and the background, and the shape of the folder, like we can make the folder…

  8. 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.

  11. ~It would be better to have multiple audio recording split up, instead of having one huge line of recordings. Having them split up will give the option to pin point exactly the part of the recording you want to go back to.
    ~Improve the audio recording to go pixel by pixel so the notes are better synced together with the voice.

  12. I would like the possibility to use continuous pages instead of a set size of a page. The width is okay, but the possibility to scroll down more or less endlessly would be nice. I think this way my notes are more structured because I can have one topic on a page and not over several pages. I know this concept from OneNote and this is the only function I really miss.

  13. I want to request adding a "Select and Search" feature in GoodNotes. This feature would enable users to select a word or sentence within a PDF and click "Search" to initiate a search for that text throughout the document.

    This will be a huge time saver and more efficient, especially with study documents that have questions at the end; this will make it easy to look up and review the answers to those questions quickly. Otherwise, especially when I'm using my iPhone on the go, I'd waste time on repetitive unnecessary steps of clicking options, scrolling to find search, and…

  14. Shortcuts to get to books. For instance I want a book to be in two folders since its relevant to two folders. However I dont want different copies of the book in the two folders. I would rather have the book in one folder and a shortcut of it in the other.

  15. I can’t use the scribble option in swedish. If I want to write “Hej” it only writes “He” and so on. If adding a new language is not an option please let the scribble be non-restricted

  16. It would be great if lines snapped into place at the intersections of the checkered template (as with Notability). In addition, I would not add a ruler but a information directly next to a line that shows the length of it (as with Freeform). Finally, I would add an icon to the toolbar with which you can quickly draw a coordinate system.

  17. It will be very helpful to have a widget opción for the Home Screen, so you can open a specific document directly from the Home Screen. Please make it happened. 🙏🏼🫶🏼

  18. 1.First of all, we cannot edit when we are not connected to the internet. This is really bad. We should be able to use the application while offline.
    Also, the writing experience with the stylus pen in the android version is not smooth.

    2.You should make a trash bin.

    3.In order to use pen options more effectively, you should make a floating favorite bar and you should not set a number limit on this feature and we should be able to position this bar horizontally or vertically.

    4.There is a 100 mb file size limit when importing notes. This is…

  19. Please add a function so that we can embed audio and video files just like images into good notes. Or at least that we can link them, but embedding would way better. Thank you.

  20. I think, tabs and notebooks should remember several settings, such as the scaling of the notebook, the pen style, and probably several other settings.
