  1. Pen, pencil, marker etc, the basics, have a look at the apple notes, it provides the basics plus a ruler for drawing functions/graphs, tables. I Just purchased this app and pissed off/disappointed to be honest. One may ask why do we even need markers or a pencil when it’s digitalised notes.... well user experience!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    1. During writing I need to switch pen’s color and thickness and this slows down me. Make available more than one pen with adjustable color and thickness on both trays at the top and in magnified writing area.
    2. When changing the pen s color ... I need to go all the way to top and adjust it , so I am losing time.
    3. After adjusting color and thickness this setting windows must be closed automatically so we can save time with this too

  2. I would like to be able to create and edit the outline section, and make it exportable into a PDF document, too!
    That would give me a table of contents at hand which would make it a breeze to navigate around chapters of my documents.

  3. I’d like a paper template that uses the solid & dashed lines for handwriting practice. Many of us are new to writing on a tablet, and GoodNotes is sophisticated enough for practice to matter. I’m talking about paper lined like this:

  4. I want to import Outlook email messages into Goodnotes.

    Currently I use a computer to print the email as a pdf and send it to myself that I import directly into goodnotes.
    Is there a faster way? Can I do this on the iPad without needing a computer to print the email?

    Can you create an app

  5. I'm a student so sometimes while typing my notes, my professor makes an error or changes something so I can't go back to the text box to edit it. Also, whenever I want to bold one word or sentence, the entire sentence gets bolded. You guys should change this and allow us to only bold, italicize, and underline the words we want. Also, please please PLEASE give us the option to go back to our text box that we were typing in.

  6. The existing shape tool uses a "draw and hold" feature to automatically recognize shapes. While useful, this can lead to incorrect shape detection, especially when drawing quickly in time-sensitive environments like college lectures. The tool may select the wrong shape, causing frustration and slowing down workflow.

    Implement an option to pre-select specific shapes (e.g., rectangle, circle, arrow, straight line) before drawing, similar to the shape selection tools available in Microsoft OneNote or Word. This would allow users to choose their desired shape in advance and draw it more quickly and accurately without relying on the shape recognition feature.

  8. It is an AI feature that converts typed text into handwritten notes, mimicking the user’s handwriting style. This would be activated when typed text is pasted into GoodNotes.
    - Advantage: This allows for seamless integration of digital and handwritten notes, enabling a more personalized and cohesive note-taking experience.

  15. I accidentally didn't turn off my audio recording on my iPad and it has been recording for 5 hours. I want to edit it so that it's only the length of my lecture but there's no option to do so. Please add a way to shorten the length of the recording. Thank you.

  16. We want REAL RTL.
    The editor support RTL alignment but we cant really use it as it supposed to be.
    In Word, we have this extra icon for making the app understand we right on RTL language and not only english text from right to left.
    Please let us use bullets and numbered lists :)

  17. I would love if bullet point features were cleaned up. I am torn because goodnotes does not have sub bullet points and notes look VERY messy in this app.

    I would hands down use this app if this was corrected.

  18. Please - urgently - change the link on the page! With more than 1000 pages, it is necessary to enter the page number, as scrolling is too cumbersome. 1001 thanks.

  19. Instead of searching indexed text, I want to be able to search with a handwritten phrase/drawing. The result would be whatever looks most similar in my handwriting. This would be a game changing feature.
