  1. I think it would be beneficial if there was the ability to sort documents by date last opened instead of date created. I have tons of documents and sometimes it’s hard to find what I need even if I just opened it. I want my most frequently used to be at the top of the list. Even the ability to pin a folder/ notebook would be nice

  2. If all Goodnotes files were saved alongside other files it would make it easier to store all files in one place and not have duplicates on Goodnotes and my Files app. I understand that Goodnotes make all files the .goodnotes format in order to save annotations and such, but I still think saving these Goodnotes formatted files in the Files app is far better as it gives a better way to view all my notes in once place and not have to import everything into Goodnotes. Maybe users can be given the option to convert PDFs to a Goodnotes format…

  3. Covers imported directly from the market place are able to be grouped by the same cover. Custom imports should be able to also be categorized with different color options all together under one cover, instead of having them all separate in the same group.

  4. It would be great to add an option where you can „secure“ a picture on a page

    So, sometimes I add pictures to my pages with exercises for my students. But then, when I want them to write answers on them, they accidentally touch some spot on the page and the picture moves and the writing is underneath and so on. I know it’s possible to add a picture as a new page but sometimes I add several pictures on one page. Just please give me the option to securely add a picture to the page.

  5. (For larger documents) allow a way to type the page you want to go to, instead of scrolling through (thumbnails) to find it

  6. I wish there was a feature that allows you to set a notification (not like the current one), but with a random question from a study set throughout the day, I would like to receive a notification to test myself at any time of the day. I think it would be very useful to maintain focus, even for those study sets that we have forgotten.

  7. Laser pen .....
    Doing rough Work with laser pen on document is good as a part of learning process
    But the only drawback is it gets vanished too soon i suggest Good notes team to atleast increase its disappearing time to 5- 6 seconds instead of existing 1-2 second when apple pencil is lifted up from screen :)

  8. For those who forget to stop the audio recording there should be a way to crop audio ASAP like in the next update so we don’t have to delete audio or have a really long audio file that has nothing on it.

  9. Just like we have options for typing, image and other, we should get an option for tape where we just add a picture, use the tape option to cover what we want to know and when we are practicing, each tape opens up one by one. If we get it right we press good and if we get it wrong we press wrong :)

  11. The eraser tool has an option to erase only the marker. It would be interesting if you could choose to delete only the text written with the pen tool

  14. I wish the items inside the element windows were bigger.
    When you need to search for a sticker or a sentence, it is always very difficult to pick the right one straight away . Stickers should fit the window.
    Thank you

  17. There is no way to see just the notes, comments, or annotations made within a documents. Other apps like PDF Expert and Notability do this, making it easy to go through whatever pages have notes written in them or annotations or comments.

    A nice bonus would be to also make comments searchable.

  18. I love the new audio recording feature but find a few issues with it and potential improvements.
    1. Once you’ve recorded, to play a recording it plays the first ever recording and you need to find the spot for your latest one. I think it would be more logical to automatically play the latest recording, especially for people with large notebooks who don’t want to skip through hundreds of previous audio recordings.
    2. Be able to rename audio recordings or have GoodNotes use AI to rename the audio recordings (name it the title of the page, or do like voice…

  19. Display highlighter colours as how they appear on the page of the notebook when used. I can never guess how the highlight colour will actually show up when I select it.

  20. I am currently trying goodnotes 6. I was excited about the math feature, however, when writing equations they seem to be consistently converted incorrectly. I understand that there is a process to improve handwriting recognition, and it can be especially difficult when it comes to complex equations, but I was disappointed to see that I could not edit the latex to correct the mistakes. This would be a simple implementation and could allow goodnotes to collect data in order to improve the conversion.
