  1. HI! Nursing Student here. (also I swear by GOODNOTES till the day I DIE!) While I am very aware of the AI feature "Ask Goodnotes", I wish that when I ask it to re-word something or say it in a different way, it would do that instead of literally changing the words around to form a new sentence. Like the other competitors of Ai software, NOT NOTE TAKING APPS (I love GN) have it be able to answer questions with a response not just based on the imported slides but also using sources from the web similar to the big…

  2. The full page typing version doesn’t have many fonts, just the headings. I would like it if you could make it possible to use system and imported fonts to be usable in iOS version. Not sure if android does this already. The in page typing version lets you use different ported fonts but not the basic full page typing. First photo is the normal in lined typing mode. And the second is the writing mode that supports other fonts.

  3. Non-editable time stamps are critical because they ensure the integrity and accuracy of notes, while providing a reliable and tamper-proof log of when actions or events occurred.

    This is essential for maintaining trust, accountability, and legal compliance in various systems and processes. Many of my personal notes can and have been used for this type of documentation.

    With paper notes, you can definitely tell if one note is older than another if you constantly use the same notebook.

    With electronic notes, there is no way to determine if what was written was done that morning or 4 years ago.

  5. I often need to export my comments as PDFs for my workflow and records. Currently, I could not find a direct option to export comments in PDF format. I believe adding this feature would significantly improve user experience, as it is a simple yet powerful addition for documentation and sharing purposes.

    Could you please let me know if this feature is on your development roadmap, or if there is an alternative way to export comments as PDF for now?

    Thank you very much for your continuous support and improvement of the platform.

  6. Not every notebook is the same, being able to save font styles and sizes per notebook would be infinitely easier and would encourage people to buy different notebooks

  7. I love the new feature that highlights notes along with an audio recording, but I think it would be even more useful if it worked the opposite way as well. I mean if there was a way you could select your notes and have the audio jump to the section of the audio clip that corresponds to those notes. If this is not possible, maybe adding something that serves as a marker so that you can tell which audio clips correspond to which pages in your notebook.

  8. What I need:
    • A blank “integrated notebook” shell we can start with
    • The ability to import my own PDF page or planner template
    • Fully working jump-links — which I already handle myself
    • Access to your under-the-hood integrations: date logic, calendar hookups, auto-navigation, to-dos, etc.
    • No fluff—no dated layouts, stickers, or templated design—just raw power and flexibility.

  9. In structures, you can choose wheter you want to see the PDF-structuring.
    Please save this decision, so you dont have to select it every time you open the document and want to look into your own structuring.
    (It is very annoying, please fix that)

  10. I want to be able to quickly take screenshots of portions of my lecture slides, copy them, and paste them elsewhere. Currently, the screenshot function takes 4 clicks: Lasso->screenshot->share->copy. It would be a lot easier if there was a way to Lasso a portion of the slide I want copied, and in one click copy ALL the contents of the lasso -- INCLUDING the slide itself, NOT JUST DRAWINGS/IMAGES/ETC.

  11. Einen Taschenrechner der automatisch das Ergebnis ausgibt wenn man ein = schreibt. So wie bei dem Apple Taschenrechner auf dem iPad der es in der eigenen Handschrift schreibt. Ich und meine Klasse in der uni würden das sehr feiern

  12. Currently, you have to use the lasso tool to highlight handwritten text, then click convert, then several more prompts. In Nebo, you merely have to double click. A quicker option (such as a double click) would make the process quicker and simpler (can retain current process).

  13. Wouldn't it make more sense if the undo button was on the top right instead of the left? As a right-handed person, clicking on the undo button covers the whole screen and you can't see exactly what has already been removed. Its just annoying (goodnotes 6)

  14. You can not delete the duplication until restart of the app. Then the old picture/text etc. disappears and only appears at the intended place. It‘s really annoying. Also if you zoom in to write sometimes parts of the strokes or dots disappear. You have to either overwrite it to fix it or erase/undo and write again.

  15. Instead of having a limited number of colors on the color pallet and having to scroll to see all the colors.
    Have an option to only show top 5 colors with a drop down arrow beside it to see all other colors in our color pallet. That way, we can still see and have easy/ fast access to our stroke settings , as well as our pens colors instead of having to scroll back and forth.
    Just like how the hidden tools arrow is. A drop down like that for the color pallet

  17. I wished I could insert equations into my flashcards in the text part. Just like how I would insert an equation in LaTeX... Since GoodNotes allows to convert handwritten text to LaTeX equations, it would be nice to insert the LaTeX code directly into the flashcard for studying formulae.

  18. One thing I would love to see, since text documents are now way better than before, is a better support for academic papers. It at least looks like it doesn't support a table of contents, sources and a few more. Microsoft Office is now no longer free here in Germany for new and old students due to the government's decision to no longer use Office and I believe this is now I big opportunity to help us. I guess this is also pretty cool for every other students ww to have everything in one place.

  20. I have a suggestion that I think would make it even more useful for reading and taking notes. When I read a PDF document, I often come across references or links that take me to other pages within the document. This is especially useful when the text contains a reference number or symbol that I need to look up to fully understand the content.

    However, one thing that can be frustrating is when I follow a link to a new page and then want to return to the page I was reading before. In order to do this, I have…
