  1. Please make sharing notes view only and better web browser support. This would make Goodnotes most likely the best educational tool on the market. I use Goodnotes to deliver lessons and have to export as pdf everyday which is annoying.

  4. Used to be able to search or open “table of contents / outline” and then when you clicked on your selection in the sidebar or on the page the sidebar would be minimized / in the background. The first pic the sidebar is open and to visualize the entire page you now have to tap on the search/table on contents icon at the top to minimize and see the entire page. The other 2 uploads is a previous search where you clicked on your selection in the sidebar and then you could click on the page to minimize the sidebar…

  6. I use quicknotes for all of my notes in class, a separate document for each day of class. It would be nice if I could use the AI feature to ask questions about a whole folder because I don’t always remember what day of class I learned a specific subject.

  8. formatting handwriting in GoodNotes is a real chore.
    For example, I want to insert a carriage return, there is no gesture to do that, or insert a tab. It really defeats the purpose if I have to go back through and apply formatting.

    Every good critique has a proposal:
    Most people hold their tablet with two hands, I envision a tool pallet on the opposite side, where the user can use their thumb to press buttons like "new line", or tab. this can later be expanded to include buttons like italic, bold, different pen colors.

    A second idea, is to…

  9. A feature that allows us to write over an image without selecting it by accident. Every time I write on images it gets frustrating when it selects it. It would be nice if images can only be selected when we click on the image tool so it doesn’t interfere with my writing.

  11. When text reaches the bottom of the page, it should automatically go on the next page. Also, when adding text to the previous page, text should automatically readjust on the following pages (just like it does on Word).

  14. I think the smart study feature lets you repeat the cards way too often. This is really frustrating if you have a study set with a lot of cards (100+). I think it would be better if the intervals were longer.

  15. I like the new feature where the outlines can be viewed in a side bar alongside the document. However I really wish I could have it that the outline title can wrap and go onto multiple lines instead of being cut off with ‘…’. Even though it would mean I have to scroll more to see all the outlines, I’d find it very useful to be able to read the full title I gave each page.

  16. There are many add ons in the marketplace like planners for example that we’d have to pay for to access.

    There should ideally be an option to try them out for a short period of time before buying. It’s difficult to determine which planner option would be bested based on the screenshots shown under each in the marketplace.

    The last thing anyone wants is to spend €9.99 on a planner that doesn’t suit your needs.

  17. I would like to have an "AI Pencil Enhancement" option Pencil within the GoodNotes pencil bar. This feature would leverage AI to transform rough sketches into refined drawings with clean lines, consistent shapes, and enhanced details. Users could customize the level of refinement and choose from various drawing styles. Such as the Feature Apple presented from Apple Intelligence at WWDC 24.

  18. Masking tapes with colorful patterns and the improvement of shapes such as a heart, star, cloud, conversation bubble like in a comic book, question mark, exclamation mark, brace sign, etc. - all this is offered by other applications

  19. Hello, in the attachments I have added screenshots from only one CollaNote application, in which, in addition to basic pens, calligraphy pens and a classic pencil, we also get a dozen or so decorative artistic and 3D markers. Goodnotes is great, but it lags behind the competition when it comes to markers. Please add new pens.

  20. I can't find specific templates in the market place. It would be nice if there was a way to search for something like, "habit trackers" or even a theme.
