  1. Please update Goodnotes for Windows. There is no reason we can't have the same versions as iPad users, like changing fonts! Give us more features PLEASE

  2. Write in Place makes the page automatically shift to the left while writing, so your hand can stay almost in the same position. It does not matter where on the page you begin writing. As soon as you write a letter or a word, the system measures how far your pen moves to the right. The page does not move during the stroke itself, but every time you lift the pen, it immediately shifts to the left by exactly that amount.

    This is especially important for cursive writing: if you write a whole word in one continuous motion, the page…

  3. hello goodnotes.I am from India. I am currently using the 1year(essential) plan. but I want to upgrade my subscription to the special edition/ lifetime subscription. but it seems like ,in India- the special edition subscription is not available .there is only the essential/yearly plans and one Pro plan. so it will be very helpful if you add the special edition plan for India region.

    I desperately need the special edition plan. and it is not available in India region so is there any other way that I can buy the special edition subscription.

    if you add the speciality some subscription…

  4. I would like to request the addition of tip sharpness, pressure sensitivity, and tip flatness options to the highlighter tool.

    With these features, the shape of the highlighter stroke could change depending on the tilt of the pen tip, and setting the tip flatness to 100% could produce a more angular, chisel-like highlighter shape rather than a rounded one.

    These controls are essential for achieving more precise, realistic, and professional highlighting behavior, and they would significantly enhance the flexibility and usability of the highlighter tool.

  5. I sometimes work with several workbooks in parallel, for example, several projects. I maintain one workbook per project.

    It would be great if there were a task function (task type, task, task description, responsible person, deadline, status, task category, relevance indicator in the central task register) that would converge centrally on a user workstation, regardless of which workbook it is in. This would make work much easier. It would allow to-dos recorded in meetings to be managed more effectively without losing track of the big picture.

    If it were also possible to synchronise by task type (calendar entry, task entry)…

  6. The Goodnotes AI monthly credits are very limiting. As a student in an accelerated program, the credits run out quickly especially when trying to transcribe a lecture. I also wouldn’t mind paying for an annual, all inclusive subscription (without credits) at a higher rate. AI generated quizzes would be a plus as well.

  7. One of the reasons I haven’t switch to GoodNotes:

    One of the key features of this app is recording in (iOS). Therefore, there should be more features when recording. THERE SHOULD BE OPTIONS FOR EXPORTING AND IMPORTING AUDIO FILE. If imported, it should be able to summarize it as well. NOTABILITY has this options. Also when recording sometimes there is 5/10 minutes that there is no one talking (many reasons). There should be an option to be able to cut/delete portions of the audio file. Just like notability. Thank you.

  8. Text tool feels clunky compared to Google Docs

    Issue: Copy/paste, selecting text, and typing across pages doesn’t feel smooth or reliable.
    Why it’s annoying: The friction breaks flow and makes typed notes feel like a worse experience than handwriting.
    Request: Improve the text tool to behave more like Google Docs:

    Auto-add pages as text grows (no manual page management)

    Smoother transitions across pages when selecting/typing/erasing

    More reliable copy/paste behavior

  9. With recent updates, the option to filter or prioritize favorited documents within a specific folder has been removed. Now, clicking on Favorites just throws every single starred document into one massive global list.

    This completely disrupts an organized workflow. When I am working inside a specific folder, I want to be able to filter for or automatically pin the favorites of that exact folder to the top, without having to look at files from completely different projects.

    Please bring back local favorites filtering or an option to sort folders by "Favorites First".

  10. Subject: Zapier Integration Request - Automate GoodNotes Workflows

    Hi GoodNotes team,

    I'm a fan of your app and would love to integrate it with Zapier to automate my workflows. Specifically, I'd like to:

    Create new GoodNotes notebooks/documents automatically when triggered by events in other apps (like our job management system)
    Organize notes based on job details (client name, job ID, etc.)
    Optionally export or sync GoodNotes content to cloud storage
    Do you have plans to launch a Zapier integration? If so, when might this be available? If not, is there an API or webhook I could use in the meantime?

  11. It would be nice if I could download only the documents I wanted. I have a small iPad mini capacity, but downloading all the documents makes the capacity so much that I can't even update the iPad os.

  12. I found an issue where custom fonts installed on iOS (e.g., via the Bakey font app) do not appear in the font list when Goodnotes 6 uses the new Whiteboard-enabled UI.

    Here are the details:

    ✔ Old UI (no Whiteboard option)

    “New note” menu does not show the Whiteboard button

    Font toolbar is in the top ribbon

    Custom fonts appear normally

    ✔ New UI (with Whiteboard — released around Sep 25, 2025)

    “New note” menu includes a Whiteboard button

    Font toolbar becomes a floating popup near the text box

    Custom fonts do NOT appear in the font picker

    Happens across…

  14. I use a different app (speechify) to read off pdfs, etc to me. It works really well and helps me get through readings in in uni I would struggle with other wise. However, I much prefer to highlight my readings, etc as a doc in goodnotes. I think such a feature would be immensely helpful for college students in good notes.

  16. I often use different sets of highlighting colors depending on what I’m working on. It would be very helpful if Goodnotes allowed users to create and save groups (or palettes) of highlight colors. That way, I wouldn’t need to manually change the highlight colors each time I switch tasks or subjects.

  17. This feature was previously there but recently been taken away. It is very cumbersome to custom the type, size and colour of the font every time when i try to write. So this feature called “save as default” option should be there for typing font, size and colour.

  18. Hello GoodNotes Team,

    I’ve recently noticed that in the latest version of GoodNotes for iPad or Iphone, the “full-page text input” mode no longer provides an option to change the font size and style.

    In previous versions, users were able to freely edit both the font size and font style while using full-page text mode. This was especially useful for multilingual users like me who often type in Chinese and Japanese — since these languages have different character heights, being able to adjust the font size ensures that the text aligns properly within each line.

    In the current version, however,…

  19. If you have a deep folder hierarchy with a lot of subfolders it is useful to have the option to "show info" to see the folder where a document is saved in, for example if you found it via search. the same thing would be useful for a subfolder.

    Ideally you would have a clickable breadcrumb path, for example in a sidebar as others have suggested.
