  1. iPadOS 16.2 added external monitor support. However, when I open a notebook in Goodnotes it messes with the size of my external monitor due to presentation mode automatically starting. I want to be able to deactivate it, so I can properly use my monitor.

  2. When a new page is created or a pdf imported into GoodNotes, there is a margin on the sides. Occasionally, students use these pdf slide decks to take notes, but end up marking up the page. Sometimes those pages don’t have room for notes. Being able to write in the free margins of the window would be an excellent way to take notes without writing directly on slides/pages. Either making it a permanent change or an option to make margin notes in documents would be great.

  3. I always use goodnotes in math class. If I use a ruler as an image and then want to rotate it, the scale changes. this is very bad for a ruler. it would be a very good improvement of goodnotes if i could fix graphics so that the scaling no longer changes when you rotate them.

  6. The flashcards are blurry in learning modus. Thus, when you have written a little bit more on the cards, you are not able to read it anymore.

    Further, it would be nice to have the possibility to classify each flashcard (with a little menu on the right hand side of each flash card). Then you could add for example all vocabularies and assign them to each chapter. When you enter the learning modus, you could tick the chapters which you want to learn.

    In the end, a little summary of your learning would be nice. (How many ended at which…

  8. Having written black pages with white font color, it would be great to just switch to the negative (page turning white, white font color changing black, the other colors don’t change) to print the notebook.

    Would love to have this feature !

  9. Could you please try handwriting on GoodNotes with the iPad M2, it is really strange and writes small lines at the end of each letter if you write fast. I believe that it is due to the pencil hoover feature, since this is implemented correctly on the apple app “notes” where the writing seems fine. Thanks

  11. I would love to be able to write or add text on the folders icon, or have different patterns or colours. This would be helpful to quickly and easily distinguish folders from each other

  12. Auf unseren Lehrer iPads steht uns die iCloud wegen Einschränkungen leider nicht zur Verfügung. Es wäre super, wenn man auch über andere Cloud Dienste synchronisieren könnte.

  16. Idea: Allowing white ink in dark mode to automatically be switched to black ink in light mode. Basically, allow for visibility of the inks when switching between dark mode and light mode. Collanote (a free app) is able to do this and I would love for this to also be available in Goodnotes!

  17. Ability to create outlines of documents like books , using AI rather than manually creating every single outline for easy accessibility of the subtopics or chapters within a document.

    Also the ability to copy and paste outlines from one document to another should be there.

  19. Please make some updates in the app. I as a medical student need to draw a lot of diagrams in my notes, especially with curves. Whenever I try to make any curved diagram it's automatically turned into edgy one. So please consider this improvement.
