  1. Windows版を利用していますが、テキスト入力時の『行間調整機能』を早期に実装してください。現状、フォントに関わらず行間が広すぎてノートが非常に作りづらい

  2. I use good notes for creating cue sheets for live shows. I can write bullet points for the show, have lyrics and chords on a page etc. What I'd like to be able to do is paste/import a backing track into Goodnotes (ideally using the Mac to bring in the WAV file, and then play it from the iPad).

    So it would look like a play button on the page - maybe even one where I can customise the background/size, and pressing it would cause the sound to play out through bluetooth or the iPad speaker.

  3. This is what makes goodnote useless to STEM students and engineers.

    No Code Formatting: Lacks dedicated code snippet boxes or syntax highlighting, meaning you must paste code as flat images or screenshots.

    Less Copy-Paste Utility: You cannot easily copy text out of a handwritten note into your IDE

    plus latex style formatting,
    connecting chatgpt and claude. goodnotes ai was a good idea, but it's not fully matured as well as the plugin for goodnotes and chatgpt. it's not functional.

  4. the sticky notes are searchable while expanded...but the instant you collapse them the content can't be searched..Also image addition to the sticky notes should be feature. And the text in the added images(screenshots) should be searchable as well.

  5. The learning sets shouldnt just offer choices like did know & didn’t know, but also options like almost correct or almost known. The system could handle this differently. And learning would be even more specific and efficient.

  6. Subject: Feature Request – Batch Import and Automatic Vertical Alignment of Lecture Slides

    I’m a medical student using Goodnotes 7 on an iPad Air M3 with Apple Pencil Pro. I frequently take screenshots of lecture slides and import them into my notebooks to study and annotate.

    Currently, importing and organizing multiple screenshots is unnecessarily time-consuming. I have to insert images individually, resize each one, manually align them vertically, and adjust the spacing between slides.

    I would like to request a new feature: Batch Image Import with Automatic Vertical Alignment.

    The ideal workflow would be:

    1. Open the Apple Photos app and…

  7. I use the laser pen tool for reviewing notes and repetition, but now for some reason the dots on the i’s and sometimes some short vertical & horizontal lines vanish, making it hard to study. please bring back the old laser pen tool

  8. I’m not too concerned about spelling in my notes, and the red lines can get a bit annoying, but every time I turn off handwriting spellcheck, it only turns off temporarily. Maybe that could be a global setting instead of a temporary one.

  9. Title:
    Let us move the Layers panel or add it to the toolbar

    Description:
    The Layers panel sits in the top right corner of the page. Even when minimized, it keeps its full width and still covers that corner. In many digital planners, this is exactly where the navigation links are (home, month icons, shortcuts), so they can't be tapped while Layers is in use.

    Please let us drag the Layers panel to another position, or move Layers into the toolbar. This would make Layers much easier to use with hyperlinked planners and templates.

  10. While writing down reference details of the contents being written in the notes, the undo/redo button often comes above it in the top right/left. Hiding it while using the gestures for undo/redo is a better option in this case.

  11. I really love these flashcards, but some adjustments would be great

    1) if I were able to quickly edit a flashcard when in learning mode that would make things a lot easier, I can delete or add something that I just realised it needed.

    2) If they could make it so you can have a preset background colour for your flashcards, rather than having to change the background colour every time you make a new study set.

  12. Would it be possible, in future, for a symbol or icon (e.g. a speaker icon) to appear next to notes for which a voice recording has been made? I use GoodNotes with my pupils, and I ask them, for example, to record new vocabulary so that they can also learn how to pronounce the words. However, they often don’t know which written notes they’ve made voice recordings for, so they have to click on each individual word to check whether a voice recording is attached. If there were a symbol in the notes – for example, in a vocabulary mind…

  13. Goodnotes sollte Links direkt als solche in Dokumenten erkennen und als hyperlink über das Internet per Klick zugänglich machen. Außerdem sollte Goodnotes qr Codes erkennen und ebenso direkt über die App ans Internet weitergeleitet zugänglich machen.

  14. Bei der Auswahl beim Einfügen sollte man nur beim einen mal auswählen müssen, ob man die Seite woanders als nach der aktuellen Seite einfügen will anstatt, dass, wenn man davor eine Seite vorher angefügt hat die nächste auch voreingestellt davor eingefügt wird sollte man dies wenn man es nochmal will nochmal einstellen müssen. Ansonsten sollte wieder danach einfügen ausgewählt sein.

  16. Ich hätte gerne, dass man bei unterschiedlichen Notizbüchern die Scrollrichtung für das jeweilige Dokumet festlegen kann. Und nicht dass die Umstellung bei einem Dokument alle anderen Dokumente beeinflusst werden.

  20. Feature Suggestion: Advanced Mind Mapping in Goodnotes

    I recently noticed that one of my friends uses MindNode for creating mind maps, so I asked him why he prefers it over Goodnotes. His explanation made me realise that Goodnotes is missing a very useful feature when it comes to mind mapping.

    Currently, creating and organising mind maps in Goodnotes feels quite manual and time-consuming. It would be amazing to have a more structured and intuitive mind-mapping experience, similar to MindNode or XMind.

    For example:
    - Allow users to click on a parent node and instantly create subnodes or child nodes.
    -…
