  1. I have all my notes for medical school on goodnotes. It often happens that we have the same topic in different subjects. So it would be so great if there was a „collections“ feature where I can collect all notes regarding a certain topic from different documents without it being removed from the original document or folder.
    Just like when marking certain pages of my document, there could be a function „add to collection“ and then these pages are shown when I open the collection, but also when I open the document.

  2. For me, it would be so important to just write down my extra-thoughts next to the actual page. It could be designed as „post it“ that os not on top of the page it self, but next to it, or just blanc space next to the actual page.
    I mean, theoretically there is unlimited space in Goodnotes, but I can‘t use it properly to write my thoughts right next to the related notes.
    In my opinion, it would be a pretty basic and uncomplicated feature that would make such a huge difference for me!

  3. Suggestion:

    GoodNotes currently offers a library of pre-designed templates for various purposes, such as meeting notes, to-do lists, and calendars. However, these templates are currently stored in a separate "Library" section, making it difficult to organize and access them alongside other documents.

    Proposed Solution:

    Implement a feature that allows users to organize purchased templates within their existing folder structure. This would enable users to:

    Create dedicated folders for specific template types: For example, a folder for "Meeting Notes Templates," another for "To-Do List Templates," etc.
    Easily access templates within their relevant folders: This would eliminate the need to navigate to…

  4. We should be able to duplicate the current page just like adding a page, in the same menu. Like in the image I am attaching, In the Add Page menu it should also include Duplicate page. Makes it easier, more accessible than going into the contents menu every time.

  5. please let us customise the square size and the distance between lines when creating a notebook.

  6. 虽然goodnotes 6提供了直尺以及形状工具,但对于绘图作业,这些工具仍然不够。希望添加圆规,量角器等工具,以便绘制出精准尺寸的形状。

  7. Include both an image and a text box on the front of a flashcard (e.g., an image with a related question) would greatly enhance flexibility!!

  8. A search option for flashcards, similar to the notebook search, would make it much easier to find specific cards, especially in large sets.

  9. I’ve been enjoying Goodnotes for most of my classes, however I find when it comes to taking notes for my electric circuit analysis classes, my drawing ability on a tablet starts to lack. So I suggest including symbols for general ECE components into the shapes library OR have an option to create custom shapes (more applicable than just ECE) that could be added to the shapes library. I enjoy the shape-snap function because it’s quick, and I need that for those fast paced lectures.

  10. Hello
    I'm a user who was using a good note
    I hope that this feature will come out with good notes
    I'm using tape function as follows
    If I click tape function, Then, the tape function of the item disappears and appears, so it's very convenient
    But I think I'm going to disappear again at once again, so I think it's a little uncomfortable
    If any of the other buttons or tape functions are included, I suggest what it would be like to use the functions mentioned above

  11. It’s almost 2025 and GoodNotes has no feature to smooth and stabilize writing with the Apple Pencil. A lot of people prefer to hand write notes as using ‘scribble’ can be tedious at times, especially to those with poor handwriting which GoodNotes seems to ensure regardless of how well you write. I find it confusing that this wasn’t added a long time ago as it’s not a difficult feat compared to something like ‘word complete’ or other AI technology they have implemented is…

  14. The ruler is used with the pen tool to write straight lines. I need it to also work with the eraser tool to erase straight lines. I am creating a drawing with sharp edges and the eraser simply passes through the ruler.

  15. In the past you blended out the tab bar if there is only ONE notebook open. this was good because it did not distract me as I was writing.
    Could you please reactivate that? Or better bring an option where the tab bar can be hidden. Like a button or something?

  16. I have Goodnotes 5 and I am happy with it. I don't need Goodnotes 6. As I have bought this from you, you weren't supposed to show me any add about your new product! Please stop annoyingly showing Goodnotes 6 upgrade notification & features. Or you should add an option to stop viewing it.

  17. says: Would you please send this up as a feature request? I’m making bird ID cards for a trip to Hawaii. For the answer, I would like the common name, the Hawaiian name and the scientific name (those are traditionally indicated by different italicized fonts). This is much easier to use than Anki, but flash card formatting is a bit limited. Bullets would be nice too (make another card with important field marks list.

    I would LOVE if there was a way to add audio file, so that the bird makes its noise when you look at it. It seems…

  18. The template purchases currently download as a notebook with 300+ pages that you have to manually input into custom templates page by page.

    I want my purchase to either download as the full template or have the proper system to upload the full pdf and organize between cover or page.
    Basically just be able to do a multiple page template download that's doesn't have a limit to pages downloaded at once.

  19. It would be great if you could select the default highlight color depending on the document you're in, so that if you highlight using the text selection for multiple lines, you can have it in the colour you wish, and not always yellow. It's a bit tiresome to have to change the colour to your own preference every time

  20. I love the save as default feature, but depending on the document I will use one size or the other. It would be great to have a default font per document, just as you can choose one template per document and do not have to change it every time I write
