  1. I am still using the Goodnotes 4 app because the pen thickness options are much better. In 5, the ball pen is either too thin, the smallest option, or too thick, the middle option and higher. None of the present options feel natural. In Goodnotes 4, I use the 3rd weight (2nd thickest) and there is no direct equivalent in 5. The variations between thicknesses in 5 is too great.

  2. The writing area in GN5 is actually reduced with respect to 4. I spend 100% of my time writing notes in the same colour, so the always present toolbar is a waste of space. I would like a toolbar which contracts when not used and expands when touched, something like the menubar in OSX. More writing area! At least, make the toolbar more compact

  3. It is fairly easy, at least once I learned how, to drag and drop images into good notes. However, as buggy as it is One Note allows you to copy and paste videos. I feel it would be a great addition to GoodNotes if you could drag and drop embedded videos into notebooks.

  5. I think it would be much easier to sync notebooks across devices if there were user accounts and you just login to the app. That way you could access your files from any computer, tablet, phone, etc, just by logging in.

    Files would be stored online through good notes, instead of relying on iCloud syncing or google backups, since i am finding that the iCloud syncing is not reliable.

    This would be similar to how you can log into your Google Drive account from any device and see access to all your files if you have an internet connection.

    There…

  7. There is no note-taking app out there that supports both handwritten notes and typed notes. By adding the keyboard feature, Goodnotes has taken a first step towards becoming an all-rounder app. The only problem is that the keyboard feature can't compete with apps like Obsidian or Notion, as it is extremely time consuming to format the text. So far, it is only suitable for aesthetic reasons, but is not practically usable. By adding support for Markdown, Goodnotes would finally have the first hybrid all-rounder solution for notes.

    I attached some examples of how it could look like implemented.

  10. Since there is an audio record feature, why not add transcription feature and AI-based auto notes generation. This way we do not need to pay for multiple apps and stick to our beloved Goodnotes for everything.

  11. In my online textbook we have sticky notes that when you press on it, it expends to reveal the sticky note you wrote and when you press it again it minimizes to a bubble to save space on the page. I would love to have this feature!!!

  12. Coloured Tabs would be great.
    I have many goodnotes files open, many for different subjects. If I could colour the tabs, I could more easily distinguish betweens subjects and more quickly find the subject I am looking for.
    For example: my thermodynamics folder is red. Notes to my thermodynamics lecture could corresponed to a red tab by default. Homework for thermodynamics, that are also in the red thermodynamics folder, could also have their tab colour switched from red to pink (similar colour, different purpose).

  13. I have ugly handwriting and notice that the autocorrect in Goodnotes have extremely nice handwriting, is it possible to have a feature to auto correct our every word to the goodnotes "autocorrect suggestion" handwriting.

  14. Currently in Goodnotes 6, when importing a document, the default location seems to always be the main document folder. In goodnotes 5, the default import location would be whatever folder we’re opened in or created at the time.

    I would like that back because I think sometimes when we’re in a hurry, we would import PDF as new documents and because the default location is the main documents folder… we would have to go back back back to the main folder and move the files to our intended folder. Which is a huge waste of time.

  15. For those who forget to stop the audio recording there should be a way to crop audio ASAP like in the next update so we don’t have to delete audio or have a really long audio file that has nothing on it.

  17. There you be a way to make multiple flashcard sets in a single flashcard box so that you can more easily separate different topics. For example if you have a textbook, you should have different sets for each chapter, and in the box all your flashcards.

  18. GoodNotes users are looking to integrate AI features into the app, similar to other note-taking apps like Notion. AI-powered features such as transforming notes into practice tests, flashcards, table forms and summaries can help users study and revise more efficiently. Additionally, users would like to see AI-powered grammar and vocabulary suggestions to improve the quality of their notes.

  19. In version 5.9.88, an extra slot for stroke colour was added, burying thickness control out of easy reach. Reverting to three colour slots and easier-to-access stroke thickness controls would be more convenient

  20. For natural scientists it is necessary to be able to write text characters and numbers superscript / subscript. This could be done via the format selection.
    The ability to insert mathematical formulas and shapes would also be helpful. A text recognition of mathematical notation would be even better.
