  1. I suggest the function of short-answer questions. Currently, I know that there is the function "study set", but we can pass a question despite we didn't memorize it accurately. So, it can be prohibited by make the type of question of "short-answer question".

    More specific form is as below.
    Form of the document is same with the study set. However, the method which it tests us will become "short-answer questions". Only if we write the accurate answer, we can pass to the next question. If we don't know about the answer, click the 'answer' button, then we can see the…

  2. Make a sign here box that when applied to a template and I click it then it can bring up a window to sign on screen which is applied to the page. It would be helpful for business.

  3. Enhanced search functionality with LLMs that can recognize handwritten notes, keywords, and phrases, and provide results even from scanned text. These LLMs should be capable of searching things with Natural written things in sentence in the search bar of GoodNotes, such like these example for photos from Apple in the Picture. So it understands the Context of what you are searching for. You can search with natural language.

  4. Tapes to hide content - right now if the app crashes or refreshes, the tapes you’ve taken off to quiz yourself reset and hide the content again

    • suggestion- A button to manually reset the tapes that way you know what content to revisit rather than losing all your progress

    Index words on pictures- right now if you screenshot a document and upload it into good notes, the words on the picture aren’t searchable

    • Suggestion- being able to search words on images

    AI quiz questions-right now if you do multiple quizzes on a document, the AI repeats the same questions unless…

  5. I really enjoy using these flashcards for anatomy and the tape feature to cover diagrams. I wished I could send links to my friends so we can collaborate on flashcards like we can documents. We frequently are able to work on pre-labs together, but cant flash cards.

  7. The same functionality that exists for linking inside of a textbox should exist within the sticky note function, but there is no "link" function when you select a word in a sticky note. I would love for that functionality to be added.

  9. automatic scrolling and smooth transitioning into new page while typing text or pasting new images instead of manually doing it. You're unable to insert images from an existing Page to a new page directly scrolling it down as it will go under the new page which is also an issue as with the texts

  10. Hello GoodNotes team,

    I’m running GoodNotes 6 on my iPad (latest version) and have purchased the “All Platforms – Yearly” subscription (renewal date: May 15, 2025) through my Google account. My Windows app correctly shows that I’m signed in with the same account and my subscription type.

    However, on the iPad under Settings ▶ Cloud & Backup, I only see the iCloud Sync toggle. I have:

    Disabled iCloud Sync

    Signed out and signed back in (using my Google account)

    Confirmed I’m on the latest GoodNotes 6 release

    …yet the GoodNotes Cloud option never appears. As a result, I cannot enable…

  11. 'm a paid GoodNotes user and generally enjoy using it, but there are a few usability issues that make the experience less efficient.

    There's no way to undo with a single two-finger tap, so quickly erasing even a couple of strokes takes multiple steps. Double-tapping the Apple Pencil always switches to the eraser instead of toggling between tools, and these gestures can't be customized, which limits flexibility.

    Accidental finger touches sometimes delete notes or trigger the paste popup while writing, which breaks the flow. Also, with the Apple Pencil Pro, using the squeeze gesture to access the lasso tool isn’t…

  12. I’ve noticed that the lengths on the ruler do not align perfectly with the boxes on the checkered sheets. Fixing this alignment issue would greatly improve accuracy and usability.

  13. I would like to suggest incorporating AI technology into GoodNotes to enhance and beautify handwritten notes. This feature could improve handwriting in real-time, making it more legible and visually appealing, similar to what Apple Notes has introduced. This addition would greatly benefit users who prefer handwriting but desire a cleaner and more consistent appearance for their notes.

  14. Funktioniert überhaupt nicht... es ist extrem anstrengend, nervig und störend. Man versucht einen Text, ein Protokoll zu schreiben und ständig wird alles auf eine solch penetrante Art und Weise auto-korrigiert. Es ist teilweise sogar richtig Aufwendig dann den Text schreiben zu dürfen, den man eben schreiben will. Und ich habe meine Sprachen die ich nutze richtig eingestellt. Aber das funktioniert mal überhaupt nicht. Bin ansonsten sehr zufrieden. Deswegen Zahl ich ja dafür. Aber das ist extrem nervig und unglaublich schlecht gelöst !!!!!!!!!!

  15. This feature exists when writing on white/yellow paper, however, it does not work when using dark mode. I have to manually select the highlighted region and send it behind the pen, which is very tedious. I'd greatly appreciate an option where the highlighter will automatically be set behind pen marks.

  16. Instead of every change in palette or pen type or size to be applied to every notebook, can we have the features same as the last time we used that specific notebook instead of every change being applicable to every notebook? If one had to make an art notebook and a notes notebook then the choice of colours and pen would vary and it's not practical to set everything up again before resuming

  17. I have been using Goodnotes 6 on my iPad Pro almost a year with my 2015 MacBook Pro running a version behind the requirement. The app works but not the documents created on the updated iPad. I sincerely hope GoodNotes Team able to create an option for syncing that it either can create a general basic compatible option for the documents upon syncing / saving. It's very frustrating that I will have to buy a new MacBook in order to use the sync function and so on. I suggest if possible there are options or patch allows the older version…

  18. I don't think I can explain it in detail in writing, but I hope my handwriting (speed) improves. Compared to Apple's pure note app and other note apps, the handwriting seems to be very slightly slower. If Apple's pure note app responds at 0.0000X seconds, the Good Note has a handwriting feeling that feels like there is a delay of about 0.02 seconds. You may not feel much difference, but when you use the Good Note while using the Apple memo app, there is a slight difference in response speed and the handwriting feels slightly different.

  20. 굿노트5에선 올가미로 스크린샷 캡쳐가 바로 떳는데

    굿노트6에선 올가미로 스크린샷 캡쳐를 할 경우,
    접힌 메뉴를 한번 더 눌러야 나오게 되어있습니다..ㅠㅠ

    굿노트 내에서 스크린샷 캡쳐를 자주 사용하는데
    굿노트5때처럼 개선 부탁드립니다 ㅠㅠ
