    Since latest update to iOS (17.6.1) I’ve lost the ability to create a shortcut to open a specific notebook/document.

    Please fix this!

  2. Text Size

    You can already edit the text size in text boxes, but why can‘t you do that when you are writing on the full page? The feature is so satisfying to use, it automatically aligns perfectly with the lines, but why are there only some premade options like heading 1, heading 2…? The normal size is just too small. I think this would greatly improve your app and it should be pretty easy for you to implement it. Thank you for this great app.

  3. Convert power point/ pdf into flash cards….

    The option to convert a pdf or power point file into a flash card would be a really nice add on feature, I spend much of time creating power point but to manually copy and paste and create a flash card is time consuming… hope the future update will have this option.

  4. Full LaTeX Math Conversion Recognition

    For a math conversion tool, it's essential that Goodnotes should be able to recognize every mathematical or science symbol/sign. Simple symbols like the mathematical “therefore” symbol, ∴ , can't be recognized, making writing and converting one's math's notes a challenge especially in academic writing. Now I realize there are a lot of symbols out there, but one way to go about it is to take a look at the comprehensive lists at ctan.org. They have comprehensive list of every LaTeX symbol, which pretty much equates to every math symbol that can be indentified for conversion. I've attached one such file.…

  6. Option to create plots on the app (Graphing calculator)

    It would be amazing for math notes if a plotting option could be integrated. This way to plot functions you could do it on the app instead of having to paste a picture (which is harder to easily change)

  7. Drag Folders from Finder

    It would be amazing if we could drag a number of folders from Finder into GoodNotes and it creates the folders in GoodNotes with the PDFs in each one.

    I use it a lot for reviewing documents and currently I have to create the folders to match Finder and then drag/drop the PDFs into each one...

    I want the paper colour to be automatically changed when activating Dark Mode just like Notability. That is the only reason I am forced to use Notability else I immediately shift to goodnotes.

  11. Link other notebooks

    please make a function to link another document within a document!!

    I am making a short summary to study for my class final, I would love to be able to link a different document within my goodnotes folders to a specific word to have more detailed information

    for example: my note says " - the sea is full of organisms", I then tap on the word "organism" and my notes on organisms I took during class pop up, because I was able to link them to my short summary

  12. Zoom button enable/disable button

    For example, I would like to have a toggle for the zoom button so that when I press disable, it doesn't zoom in when I try to zoom in, and when I want to zoom in, it only zooms in when the zoom button is enabled.

    When I try to writing things, it keeps zooming in when I don't want it to, which is inconvenient.

  13. Move comments to the outer margins of docs.

    Currently, when you write a comment of a doc it blocks the whole screen when you open it. When I add a comment to a doc it would be helpful to have it to the side where it doesn’t obstruct the whole page and I can read the comment while also looking at my document. I think utilizing the gray area around a doc would be a great place for this.

  14. Page reveal button

    Interactive buttons would be wonderful that delete when touched to reveal answers underneath. it would be awesome if some could make noise such as clapping or buzzer sounds to help make lessons more interactive. The sticky notes can be used to reveal but you have to move them and then they do that crazy copy feature and get smaller. it is very annoying and would greatly improve if a double tap or two finger touch could disappear them. Thank you

  16. Handwriting Recognition

    It is INCREDIBLY frustrating to REPEATEDLY go through the processes of (1) complete the "Contributing Handwriting" feature multiple times, (2) add Custom Words to the Personal Dictionary, and (3) when a red line appears tapping on the redline then "More" --> "Add to Dictionary" --> then complete the "Add Custom Word" field AND THE RED LINE REMAINS after tapping Save. Please know this REPEATED experience has frustrated me to the point of looking at alternative handwriting recognition apps or go back to keeping a paper journal.
    I'm in a professional occupation where keeping a journal is essential, and repeatedly going…

    Please add a setting to move the page to the left/right side of the display while using the editor so you don’t have to put your hand next to the device while writing.

  19. Collaborate over bluetooth

    Hi there,

    Being able to collaborate on a documents is excellent.

    I would love the ability to be able to callaborate over bluetooth though. Unfortunately we do not always have the internet available when we are collaborating, and even when we do, we would rather not use the data.
    I imagine this would also result in faster updates when editing a document.

    Thanks

  20. Choose to save more Text box colour presets!!!!

    I REALLY REALLY need this feature because I used text boxes as headings in my notes and it wastes wayyyy too much time going in to change the colour each time

    It's such a simple feature I can't believe it hasn't been implemented yet T^T. I would pay ungodly amounts of money for this because it would seriously save me SO MUCH time for note taking
