  1. Agnostic OCR, whatever languages

    When make a notes, usually I pick the words that I have them the most easier to remember, in whatever languages.
    As an Indonesian people, sometimes i use English, Indonesian, or even local language, whichever diction that the easiest for my brain to remember.
    Maybe OCR per character would be able to implemented that, although not sure about mathematical equations which needed some symbols.

    Thank you.

  2. Due to the fact that apart from my iPad Pro I‘m still working with my iPad Air 2 I would like to see the Wacom Fineline 3. Gen. stylus supported in GoodNotes 5!

  3. Love the new white pen color. They’d be great to use on black paper templates for when writing outdoors in bright sun. The notebook cover options are great, but being to add my own artwork to notebook covers would make special.

  4. The new Goodnotes 5 on iOS has 2 toolbars + tabs, which take up a lot of space on a horizontal iPad, and above all it is too distracting. Please create an option to either morph the 2 toolbars into one or to hide one automatically (probably the top one).

  5. My goodnotes documents are extremely large because inserted photos. I would like to select photo from library and the choose size of file... like when I send an email.

    Also when I take photo to directly insert into a Goodnotes.. allow me to be able to control file size.

    Also... GoodNotes should allow me to see size of my file.

  6. I use GoodNotes App on MAC and IPad to keep my notes. However, when I need to use these two platforms at the same time, it will suffer because the syncing frequency is too low to immediately reflect what I edit on Mac on my IPad. Therefore I have to quit the app and re-open it to continue my work with Apple Pencil on iPad. Same happens on Mac when I need to insert a figure on the computer.

    I understand that it will cost a lot of energy(much more frequent request by the application to sync the current work)…

  7. Show the GoodNotes Files in the new iOS Files App as a pdf-Version to share and edit them easily with Apps like PDF-Expert.
    A two-way sync would be also nice to edit files on any devices from the Cloud and have them automatically updated in GoodNotes

  8. More templates and paper types would be good. I would love to notes templates with ability to type in the date, a To Do list would be also great. It would also be good to be able to change the colour or style of your notebook once it has been created

  10. Is there a problem with fountain pen mode? It doesn't look like a fountain pen. It looks like a ball point pen.

    Please improve the look of the fountain pen mode. Make it look like the fountain pen in the Noteshelf app. That one looks absolutely beautiful.

  11. I attend a few conferences and constantly use Goodnotes, and get asked about it. I would love to be able to add the camera to the task bar. I miss some slides/information because of the time it takes to open the camera. Video would also be good to add. And voice recording. Then it would also be perfect for marking my students work and giving verbal feedback.

  12. When using the tv out mode it would be useful to have a set up mode where the ink does not show up on the large presentation screen.

    This would allow a teacher to create a lecture not pdf for the class to see and then have solutions already completed only visible on the iPad.

    The ink could be selectable so that it can be revealed at an appropriate time. Finally, at the end of the class the template can be reset so that all of the ink is invisible to the class again.

  15. 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.

Implementation of an advanced AI Math Assistant in GoodNotes 6, offering features similar to MathNotes in iPadOS 18, but with additional capabilities to control and improve handwritten mathematical notes and calculations on personal PDFs.

  17. It would be very Helpful to have the possibility to create Tables. Similar to tables in Pages or Word. It would be best to use a template with rows and columns that adapt to the size of the written content.

  19. 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).
