  1. It would be very helpful to have more possibilities to customize an format typed text. The current way of typing text does work but notes often look bulky and there is no good way to change it.

    Something like Markdown, more bullet point levels, "fit text to lines"... would make hybrid hand-written and typed notes much easier.

  2. Requesting the ability to create a sticker which contains an added link, which can be edited as needed, mainly for the use of repeat pasting to pages.

    Example: I have created a document which has internal page links throughout. I want to add a sticker that already has a link embedded to a specific page within the document.

    Otherwise, I am unable to group together a sticker with a text link to copy and paste into other portions of the document as needed.

  3. GoodNotes is fantastic for handwritten notes, but it lacks deeper organizational tools like the page hierarchies available in OneNote.

    Adding features such as pages, subpages, and sections would significantly improve the ability to manage complex projects, studies, or work materials.
    This would not only enhance productivity but also allow users to navigate their notes with greater clarity, all while preserving the joy of handwriting.

    Implementing this would provide users with better control and structure, making GoodNotes an even more powerful tool for both personal and professional use.

  4. I use Goodnotes for studying. So I thought that making a sheet of a study planner would work well. I can see my schedule within Goodnotes at once. I think it would be beneficial, instead of carrying study planner books instead.(= carrying studying books makes my bag heavier and also makes less room in my backpack to put more books in.)

  5. The new post it feature is great but i would love to have the option of making them see-through. I think it would be really useful for studying so you can put it over an image to label it and then minimise it to review. Or just to add extra notes without disrupting what’s under or if you’re taking notes of an already typed PDF file where you can’t change the text underneath.

  6. I would like to have the ability to print out PDFs so I can place them directly next to a picture, text or another PDF on the Canva. I know that OneNote for example already offers this and I used it very frequently.

  7. Allow the color pallet to be dragged away from its location at the top of the page, allowing for users to have quicker access to different pen colors anywhere they want on the page instead of being limited to just the top.

  8. Like the new Ask Goodnotes feature, AI may be used to generate properly formatted tests in app from multiple notebooks or folders. There can be various test modes like MCQ based, Subjective, True/False etc.

  9. Please add support for more iPad models for audio transcription, as many students use Goodnotes for note-taking. This feature is very useful, but unfortunately, it only works on several iPad models. Not all students can afford to but a new iPad while the old ones still working!!

  10. I really like the new pencil writing tool, it’s definitely my favorite to write with in terms of smoothness and just what I like for journaling - but I can’t actually use it because it’s SOOO LIGHT. Like its opacity is WAY WAY DOWN. Can it be like an actual pencil?? So I can write with it and actually be able to read it??

  12. I would like to see the page number on the printed paper, like in word. So that I can see the order better and have a nice overview.

  14. Bildschirmausschnitte und Bilder sollten nicht nur Zugeschnitten sondern auch GESPIEGELT werden können, bei meinen Skizzen ist dies immer wieder notwendig - oder ein Shortlink zu einem Malprogramm.
    Optimal wäre natürlich auch die Funktion VERZERREN!

  15. Can you please allow the search function to work with notes written with the pencil tool? I see the search function works for the pen, but I prefer the feel of the pencil when taking notes. Thank you.

  17. 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.

  18. not sure if this has been brought up but as a student, sometimes our notes have pages irrelevant to our revision but we can't delete it either. similar to Google Slides, maybe Goodnotes can add a function to allow you to hide pages so that it wont appear when you scroll through the document, but can still access in the pages menu maybe?

  20. I ALWAYS have my iPad in landscape orientation. So when trying to edit colors & hex codes, I have to turn my iPad in portrait to access the hex codes cause the pop up won’t scroll down. Very annoying.
