  1. Make the text feature simple like it would be on a word document or google docs (bullet points, ability to highlight text) AND ensure that the tape feature follows or is "attached" to that section of the text.

    Currently I have to complete my study guide, download as a PDF, then use the tape feature. If I gain more clarity and have to add/change my notes, I lose all my progress with the tape feature on goodnotes since PDF are not editable.

  3. It would be nice to have the option to incorporate our title page onto the cover page if wanted by user

    Also allows user to create book before creating book AND has QR code to share

  4. Allow users to insert a map or location similar to Penbook. This would allow us to customize our documents and allow us a variety of customization so that we’re not limited to what we can do on this app. Adding these additional features would make Goodnotes the ultimate notetaking app!

    I really love goodnotes but I’m considering getting Penbook just because of their additional features! I think Goodnotes has so much potential to becoming THE APP!

  5. There’s a way compress the text between two paragraphs (or) sections to compare the text side-by-side instead of scrolling from page to page. It would deter frustration and make this app so much more powerful.

    This featured example came from LiquidText

  6. When using the ruler zoomed in, there is a limit as to where the ruler can go. And when I zoom out, the position of the ruler changes and it's also hard to measure since the start is elsewhere.

    So there should be a feature to lock the ruler in place and also change where the count of the ruler starts.

  7. Almost every other note-taking app has the auto-date option. This would be a huge help!

  8. It’d be nice to be able to rotate; not only move around. Notability allows rotation and zooming in and out. That would be very helpful!

  9. When using Mac OS or iPad OS in landscape mode, the adaptability of the pages is suboptimal. As shown in the figure, even though the window has enough space to accommodate two pages, it only displays one. This becomes particularly inconvenient when reading professional documents that include diagrams and technical terms, as these often span multiple pages, forcing users to continuously flip back and forth. The current non-adaptive windowing leads to a very poor reading experience.

    I hope that future updates will include more flexible adaptability, enabling the feature to read two or multiple pages simultaneously.

  10. When taking collaborative notes in lectures only the user recording can “play recording” on their notes. It would be great if it also did it to the other user (but all in one recording). So one person records it synced the lecture notes from both users into the recording.

  12. Sometimes it takes you one page before, sometimes it takes you to the absolute beginning of your folders. Terrible. Bring back the old one. Why did they fix something that wasn't broken?

  13. (This used to be a previous feature, now taken away) When importing a file, I want to import it into the folder I'm currently in, instead of it taking me all the way back to the main Documents page and me having to click through all the folders again to find the spot I was already at where I wanted the file to go. I don't know why they took this feature away, but that was a mistake on their part.

  14. Integrate a sophisticated AI chatbot, akin to ChatGPT, accessible via a “Chatbot” button in the menu bar. This AI assistant can understand and analyze all notes taken within GoodNotes, providing users with an array of functionalities:

    1.  Answering Questions: Users can ask questions about their notes, and the chatbot will provide accurate and context-aware answers based on the content.
    2.  Summarizing Notes: The chatbot can summarize selected handwritten or typed notes, offering concise overviews.
    3.  Contextual Information: It can offer additional information or explanations related to the content of the notes, enhancing learning and understanding.
    4.  Task Automation: The chatbot

  15. On Android and Web, currently the download filename differs from the name of the notebook. It would be good if both is the same.

  17. just as we can “play recording” from the contextual menu for handwritten notes; it would be highly beneficial to have the same in typing mode

  18. I loved the new keyboard option for writing, like in “Word.” But I would like more options to modify the font and other aspects, other tools, to improve the writing part. Another suggestion is that when I paste something I copied from ChatGPT, it comes with symbols like * and #. There could be an option to locate these symbols and remove them all. Add more features to the study cards (you can borrow some ideas from Anki) haha. Thank you, I look forward to it! I love the app <3

  20. Return, please!! the removed functionality to insert PDF snippets in PDF format !! on Mac.

    Before I could insert snippets from PDF documents without them being converted to a low resolution image format. Just rectangle selection in the Preview app, and paste in the GoodNotes, without the text being distorted and in Vector PDF format.

    Now, the snippets are being converted to low res images and all the text and quality is distorted.

    Please, change it back or add such an option.

    That was the best feature in GoodNotes for me.
