  1. I use several different text styles in my documents, this includes fonts styles and sizes. While currently I have a notebook and a collection of the fonts & sizes I prefer. I’d love the ability to have multiple text style presets. Most of the time I’m using between 6 and 7 different fonts between my notes (it’s why when I try a new font, I make sure my most recent fonts stay in the recent section), but having the ability to have multiple text box presets would be beneficial.

  3. 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.

  4. Hi,
    I like Goodnotes very much, but I miss some features for my workflow as
    architect. I use Goodnotes for measurements on location.

    1. Layers
      I would like to have some layers for structuring my drawings

    2. Dottet / Dashed Lines
      … selfspeaking

    3. Forms with graphical options for lines/edges and surface
      It would be nice, if we could define line-style and surface-style
      e.g. surface: white (with options for transparency) and lines/edges
      as dashed line.

    4. More as 3 lines thicknesses in UI-Menu

  5. 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.

  7. I love that GoodNotes has the night mode feature but while I like my overall iPad in night mode, I don’t want my notes in night mode. There is no way to override this. I’d like to be able to have GoodNotes in light mode while my iPad is in night mode. Y’all rock! Keep up the hard work.

  9. When creating a study set, I wish I could zoom in or out of the screen. In particular, it is difficult to see the questions and answers at a glance because it is not reduced.

  10. Now I have to click then select stroke size, which is make me get slower. Before It appeared in the toolbar and I only do one click, but for now two click is required. For me adding more colors doesn’t necessary (at all), I don’t always change the colors, but I always change the stroke size, so bring it back please 🙏🏼, I’m so upset to click for change stroke size, can you make me change immediately whenever I want to.

  11. I think adding a tool for drawing curves for diagrams that for example engineering students must draw for their notes will be very helpful like the one exists in CollaNote.

  12. 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.

  14. After the latest update which is the addition of voice recording into the toolbar, the brace cursor disappeared. I think the toolbar customization feature should be offered because the sidebar for the pages does not work effectively, especially for large pdf(s) (for ex. while I am looking at page 123 the sidebar stays at page 4). Thus, adding a brace for any page becomes frustrating.

  15. I regularly use comments to annotate on slides where there is limited space. Would it be possible to include these comments when exporting to pdf format?
    This would for instance allow me to review my notes on my pc while making summaries on goodnotes.
    Thank you!

  19. Flashcard Update! Please make this a permanent feature. There should be an outline so you can quickly find a card without flipping through the full size ones. Also have a way for you to save your progress. If i make a deck of 120 cards I may not have time to make it all the way through and want to come back where I left off. Also a feature to let you study only the ones you missed. And a feature to let you view them in order or randomly.

  20. The ability to import a pdf as a smaller file/image similar to the way Notability lets you import scanned pdfs by giving you two options of either importing it as an image or importing it as a full-scale pdf would be an amazing feature. GoodNotes seems to make it imperative that something must be scanned instead of imported from another source in order to recognize text. This is the case at least when importing images or pdfs that were not OCR'd and have unrendered text in them.

    I feel like this proposal would be helpful, in that, it would allow…
