  1. I've seen really mixed reviews—some people love it, while others say it's full of bugs and practically unusable. Is it still worth buying? Should I go for Goodnotes 5 instead? Or would another app be a better choice?

    For context, I'm in high school and plan to keep using it in snake game, where quick reflexes and a good appetite are all you need to dominate the leaderboard.

  2. As a high school teacher, it is important for us to let panel head acknowledge and check our markings on students' works. Also, collaborative work could not be done because each goodnotes classroom folder could not invite other teachers to edit or view content. This highly increases the inconvenience and decreases the possibility in transferring files to the other teachers concerned.

  3. Hello I really enjoy studyset feature.
    My only complaint is that the card is too small even in the landscape mode in ipad mini/pro.
    Could we make the interface like the one in the second screenshot?
    Also, it would be amazing if we can do pinch zoom in the studyset cards.

  4. If linked to the outline, the pages linked will guide me to the content I linked.
    Example for current situation:
    If I add one page before the content I wish to link on Document A, the current linked page will move to the next page from page 7 to page 8. And when I click on the link on Document B, it will still guide me to Document A, page 7. But the actual content has already moved to page 8 cause of adding a page.

  6. I like to use black background with white ink as primary ink (I believe it is good for my oled pixels).
    I like to use other colour inks here and there for emphasis.
    I would love a feature that turns things as follows

    Black background——————> White background
    White ink —————————> Black ink
    Other colour ink. ——————-> no change

    Because that would be the most ideal way to print something
    (Of course I can do these with existing features, but it will take a lot of time depending on amount of notes I make)

  7. Maybe a function where you can erase specific pens ex) erase pencil only

    Also when you remove tape it removes anything written over it as well :)

  9. This request has been sitting unresolved for over 4 years now. Please add a menu toggle to return to current notebook from the Documents view. Having to click on a note to get to the view is super clunky (for example, if you have lots of folders to organize your many notes). It should be as easy to swipe to the open notes view as it is to move to the library from your note.

  10. If we want to do a lasso screen shot of an area which is free of self made elements, the screenshot icon appears directly on the lasso-options-bar, but when we want to do a screenshot with self made elements (does not matter if it‘s a picture, stylus writing or normal text) inside the lasso, we need to click on „more“ to get to the screenshot option. Please just add this back so it works faster, I think this was possible a couple of years ago.

  11. On macOS, the user interface in both documents and the folder overview often appears too small on large screens. It would be helpful to have an option to scale the UI—both to enlarge and reduce it. This feature would be useful not only on Mac but also on iPad and iPhone.

  12. Something I don't like about GoodNotes is that when you are on the Typing option in the Nav Bar (the keyboard symbol), you can't add line spacing when you have numbered list selected. How is this not something already integrated into the app?

  13. I want to be able to use my own AWS account for AI related features so that way all my data stays strictly with me. It would be ideal to have a place to enter my access keys or whatever credentials I used to access my account.

  15. It could be great if the study set cards could be more customizable so you could add text and a photo and don't have to choose between them.

    In addition to this, it could be great if the app could be made controller compatible so you can link a controller to scroll through the cards.

  16. Goodnote kept getting an error, so I deleted it and reinstalled it, but all the data disappeared. Unable to back up the data. What should I do? There were all the test materials there...

  18. 🎀 Adding a widget feature on the home screen (Documents) and in any section is better, to make it customized through individuals' perspectives. For more clarity, this includes different sizes of widgets, photo widget (from Pinterest, notion, or even from the device itself), customizes to-do list (customized shape (framed and unframed), colour, wallpaper, and bullet point), clock widget and etc.
    🎀 Moreover, customized wallpaper (colour, fancy frame, etc.) will improve the user's comfort, space, and creativity. It will help the users find their pace to suitable mood, zone, and comfortability.

  19. I loved getting a satisfying ding when using Microsoft Suite’s to do list and ticking off a task. It would be great if we could add a sound when inserting stickers for the same gratification. Even if this were just made possible through ‘Shortcuts’ on the iPad, so we could add a sound. That would increase my motivation.

  20. Instead of having to drag past the edge for adding a new page, it would be nice if Goodnotes had an option to always add an empty page at the end, similar to how Notability does it. This would be particularly useful for vertical page, since writing at the bottom edge of the screen is ergonomically difficult.
