  1. I find I am always looking to go BACK to the HOME or FOLDER LIST and would like a shortcut key (i.e., CMD+___) to quickly go back a page. So for instance, I want to open several documents under a folder. I’m using the HOME button AND would like a keyboard shortcut to make that happen.

  4. Let us write notes next to the slides, like you can do in OneNote. It is absolutely crucial for students, especially when teachers write a lot on their PowerPoints. I love GoodNotes but I keep thinking about switching to OneNote because of this feature.

  7. Is it possible to expand the Goodnotes cloud service to all users?
    I read the page ( Goodnotes Cloud on IOS Pilot Program).On this page, the Cloud is only eligible for Yearly plan members...That is pretty sad 😢 What I am concerned about is I already paid for other cloud services. For iCloud,I won't pay a subscription.

    Meanwhile, I saw there may be invitations to upgrade iCloud to goodnotes cloud...hope that I am not misunderstanding, cause two statements are a bit contradict.

    If this advice will be accepted in the future, It is convenience. Thank you.

  8. Something I have noticed when typing out paragraphs, is that sometimes good notes will auto finish a word without me pressing space or tab for example and just inserts the whole word whilst I'm typing. Lets say I am writing While and start writing the first two letters, it will auto finish the word but I keep writing in the middle of the word so it becomes really weird; like this WHwhile I am doing thisILE, The capital letters is what good notes automatically wrote for me

  9. I noticed that my iPad battery gets drained very quickly when I use Goodnotes. It would be great if the Goodnotes team could introduce the features of "Battery saver mode" and "Performance mode" so that it won't consume a lot of battery when I don't need peak performance.

    Also, it would be even great to have to GoodNotes team decrease the overall battery consumption of app without introducing those 2 features :)

  10. A feature that would allow users to use their own OpenAI API (ChatGPT) to interact with their notes could be helpful. GoodNotes has been rolling out the Goodnotes AI feature, but the FAQ says that you can't increase the usage quota (which is set to 30 messages). The issue with this is I consume 30 messages limit within a few hours 🙁, so I have to ultimately switch apps back and forth (GoodNotes and ChatGPT).

  14. The AI lasso tool is used to spellcheck any words you may have misspelled, but what if it could improve your handwriting. I’ve found that as I write, there are a lot of inconsistencies in my handwriting. If you could add a baseline for each character (number/letters) and lasso over any words to improve the quality of handwriting that would be so cool.

  15. As the title suggests, the Windows app is missing a lot of key features. Audio Recording is a must when taking notes in class. The handwriting is unusable. It's the worst among handwriting apps on Windows. And if you want to type your notes, you're stuck with one single font.

  16. When I switch from the document editor to the view of the structure, I would like to see at once the line in the structure which is equal to the page in the document, which I am about to edit.
    In the mini-page-view this works already. In the structure view of the document, I miss it.

  17. The current smallest eraser size is still too big to make fine adjustments. I’d love to see the ability to set a custom size, like with the pencil.

  19. You should be able to draw on study sets. For example I am using a picture as my question for the study set, but want to highlight/mark or even point to a specific part of the picture. This change would have lots of applications

  20. 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.
