  1. Please bring this as soon as possible 🙏

    For med/NEET students with 30k–40k+ flashcards, Smart Learn becomes extremely overwhelming because it recommends too many cards at once.

    This is seriously affecting study efficiency, revision speed, consistency, and long-term retention.

    Please let users set their own max active card limit (ex: 200 cards) for smarter revision.

  2. If you’re using tape to practice recall (not for decoration) then it’s always covering important information, even when printing.

    When I’m printing my documents I don’t want the tape to be visible. I would prefer a toggle so it shows up in it’s highlighted revealed version.

    Many people have mentioned removing tape for exports/pdfs/back ups. I’m specifically requesting this toggled functionality for printing.

    This is critical for me because at the moment I just don’t use tape because it means each time I print I have to manually remove all the tape from my notes. I’d love to use this…

  3. I practice multiple choice questions a lot , and instead of writing and erasing the answers , i want the temporary pencil like auto deleting the components i wrote after 1 ,2 hours. So i can practice again over the same sheet.

  4. Goodnotes 開発チームの皆様
    いつも素晴らしいアプリを提供していただき、ありがとうございます。

    建築設計の業務において、iPadのGoodnotesに図面のPDFを読み込み、手書きで検討や修正、打合せ内容の書き込みを頻繁に行っています。その中で一つ要望がございます。

    「定規ツールの縮尺(スケール)を、読み込んだ図面に合わせて任意に変更・設定できる機能」を追加していただけないでしょうか。

    現状の定規ツールでは、図面上の実際の寸法(1/60や1/70など)を測りながら、クライアントに「階段の幅は〇〇cmです。」などの説明をする際に電卓で換算しないと寸法が出せません。定規のスケール合わせが可能になれば、建築やデザイン分野での実用性が飛躍的に向上し、さらに手放せないツールになります。
    今後のアップデートにて、ぜひご検討いただけますと幸いです。よろしくお願いいたします。

  5. Handwriting mindmap is soooo needed! there are few apps can do this, but if it is combined in goodnotes, i am sure there will be much more subscribers

  6. It would be great to be able to edit flashcards quicker than always taping in and out of editing mode. I'd also like to be able to toggle tape while viewing flashcards because I need more than just a question and answer side. There should also be an option to flip cards in smart learn.

  7. Refine handwriting (Restyle) does not work with Korean handwriting in Goodnotes 6 on iPad. When the document language is set to Korean, the option disappears from the Lasso menu. With Auto-detect, the option appears but only works for English handwriting. Goodnotes support confirmed that Korean is not currently supported for this feature.

    Please add Korean support for Refine handwriting / Restyle. Korean handwriting recognition and search are already supported in Goodnotes, and many Korean users take handwritten notes, so this feature would be very useful.

    Thank you!

  10. Goodnotes has become more cumbersome and slower with the latest update. I now need two clicks to switch between pens and the laser pointer. When I have images, there is now always a white border at the top of the projection, and I first have to switch to read-only mode to display the image in full screen.
    The fold-out toolbox also takes up space on the screen.
    Adding to favorites also requires one more click.
    The updates have only increased the amount of work involved and represent a deterioration. On the other hand, I don't need AI or sound recordings.…

  13. I would like to suggest aligning the grid spacing and the ruler in GoodNotes with common measurement standards.
    In many countries (for example in Europe), squared paper follows a standardized pattern where two squares equal exactly 1 cm. This standard is widely used in schools, universities, and technical work.
    Currently in GoodNotes, however, two squares correspond to about 1.12 cm when measured with the built-in ruler. Because of this mismatch, the ruler becomes difficult to use for precise measurements or technical sketches. Lines drawn using the grid do not correspond correctly to real-world measurements.
    This can be especially inconvenient for…

  14. When using GoodNotes in split-screen mode, I record audio on one side so I can listen to it later, while studying for a test on the other side. However, if I close the screen I’m studying on, the recording disappears. The same thing happens when I try to open a different document on the study side — the recording stops and disappears.

    This feature worked fine before the update and also in GoodNotes 5, so I really want this issue fixed immediately. It’s seriously affecting my test preparation, and I’m having a lot of trouble because of it. Please fix…

  15. Visible route / direct link back to the document home folder. When working on a document and leaving it open amongst several other open documents… what folder is the open document link to? What is the route back to that folder? I have many ‘orphaned’ documents that I’d like to link to others…if I knew which folder they were in!?

  16. Hi Goodnotes team,

    I’d love to see native iOS Translate support added to Goodnotes.

    In many iOS apps, when you select a piece of text, the standard context menu includes a Translate option. Tapping it immediately opens Apple’s built-in translation interface and lets you translate the selected text into your preferred language.

    Currently, this option doesn’t seem to be available when selecting text in Goodnotes. It would be extremely useful, especially for people who use Goodnotes for studying, reading, or working with materials in foreign languages.

    It would be great if Goodnotes could support the native iOS Translate action directly…

  17. English: Hello! I would love to suggest a feature improvement based on an issue I've run into. When I used my Apple Pencil to take notes while recording audio, I loved how the playback showed my handwriting stroke by stroke in sync with the audio. Since I switched to typing with my keyboard a few months ago, I noticed it only displays the entire paragraph at once once you finish typing. It would be amazing if the keyboard typing could also sync up and display word-by-word or letter-by-letter in real time during audio playback, just like the Apple Pencil.

    Spanish:…

  19. I am writing to report a critical usability flaw regarding the Text Box tool that severely disrupts the core note-taking workflow. I strongly request your development team to review and resolve this issue as a top priority.

    Currently, Goodnotes only allows users to tap and create a Text Box in completely blank areas where no document text exists. When I tap directly over or near areas with existing document text, the app completely ignores my touch input and refuses to open a Text Box at that exact spot.

    My entire workflow depends on tapping directly on or right next to…

    Currently, Goodnotes only allows a Text Box to be created when tapping on completely blank areas of a page. When I tap directly over or near existing document text, the app ignores the touch input and fails to open a Text Box at that location.
