  1. Better Math Support

    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.

  2. Default spell check setting option

    App setting to choose to default the spell check for handwriting to off or on. Then inside a document, the ability to set it to off or on.
    I want to be able to default the spell check to “off” for all documents. Then inside a document if I want to turn it on for that document, allow me to turn it on.

  4. Little Bug with Apple HUD

    In GoodNotes 5 (Version 6.3.9 (2595824.519274371) ) there is a little bug: when using a sheet, taking notes or using a notebook the HUD of Apple (time, date in the left corner; wifi, battery, VPN, connected bluetooth devices etc.) is not shown any more. When opening GoodNotes or opening a normal folder, everything is fine. Could you pleas fix that with the next update?

  5. Convert rotated sheet

    The convert to text is great but when I have rotated a sheet so my iPad more resembles a sheet of paper it does not work, just gives random images. I can rotate and convert but would be nice to not have to.

  8. Possibility to make notes on the side

    When opening any document, especially with PDFs but also with my own notes, it would be great to have the possibility to have a separate page on the side to take notes on WITHOUT activating Split View, so all important notes are directly next to the page. Like in the picture but with more space for notes. In the settings you could choose which kind of paper you want to write on and which side the notes should appear on.

  10. Problem: It’s demotivating to add new page one by one in Goodnotes 6 iPadOS app

    Why not implement a feature where user can type a number, e.g. X in a text box, tap “add new pages” button to add X number new pages (according to template) at one go?

  11. Changing line thickness without resizing

    Please add the option to change the line thickness of your notes (with lasso tool) without resizing everything.

    This would be very useful when realizing that your notes would look better if the linewidth was smaller/larger after you already took a lot of notes

  12. highlighter

    Non overlapping highlighter! Or the ability to change the opacity on the highlighter! I use goodnotes for drawing and coloring is soooo difficult right now because you can’t lift your pen up or it will overlap the color :(

  13. interactive widgets

    Hello Goodnotes team, apple introduced the interactive widgets with ios 17. I think it is fantastic, if you add the vocabulary function to the interactive widgets. apple showed it with the example of quizlett in the WWDC. If you add this you can learn easy your vocabularys on your Home screen by swiping between the apps.

  14. Adjustable vertical border between Cornell page layout space and page main body space

    Why not max profits and global IQ & knowledge quantity or complexity of humans by implementing adjustable vertical border between Cornell page layout space (template) and page main body space in Goodnotes 6 iPadOS app? This allows user to take good notes without fear of running out of space. Integrate the concept of infinite free form canvas and Excel adjustable columns into Cornell page layout (template) for global note taking apps.

  15. Group Pages in a Notebook

    I use a notebook for music for church band on Sundays. I upload a set of sheet music, and order the music for the Sunday we are going to play it. I would like to group the pages of each song together so when I move one page it moves the entire group of pages for that song at one time. I like to reorganize my pages so the set of songs for each Sunday are in order for that week.

  16. Internal links for elements instead of just Text

    I love the new feature that involves internal links (linking to a seperate page within your document) however it is only accessible for a text box.

    I write most of my notes by hand with my Apple Pencil and would love to be able to use the lasso to select my handwritten notes and attach an internal link to other pages. The same could be said for elements/stickers

  17. Please put "Add to Favorites" back in the main toolbar

    With the most recent update, microphone access knocked the "Add to Favorites" button out of the main toolbar. I'm regularly adding pages to favorites as part of long documents that I mark up by hand, which I then use to pull only the favorite pages out of the document and send to a colleague quickly; now the button requires 3+ clicks to get to. I'm not going to use the microphone. At least make it the user's option to move around the icons that are featured in the main toolbar.

  20. Increase the size of the thumbnails on iPad

    Hello Goodnotes,

    I simply requesting for the size of the thumbnails to be increased when viewing a document in thumbnail view. There is currently space in between the thumbnails to enlarge them as well. They are so small it is hard to get an idea of what is written on the pages.

    It would make it so much easier to skim through large documents, if you could see the documents better in a more zoomed in view. Please see photo.
