  1. Goodnotes already has a website integration. I hope it can create an external embed link that works on 3rd party apps like websites, notion, and anything else simply as a view. This used to work with the website link, but since last year, it has stopped working.

    • there is an issue with it highlighting the correct word so it will show that the word is on the page but it won't highlight it or if it does highlight it the highlighting is not actually on the word so you still have to look around the highlighting to find the word you're looking for

    • there is a glitch that makes searching really slow so I have to retype the word a few times for it to show up

    • sometimes it says the word is not in the document but when I search on other platforms it comes up…

  2. Goodnotes outdoes every other note taking app and is hands down my favorite BUT I keep going back to Apple Notes because I just love how the calligraphy pen/pressure just flows and writes amazing!

    Please update the pens to offer better pressure and writing. Please add better options! Please make the fountain pen to be more like Apple Notes. I just don’t feel any of the options you guys offer allow for appealing daily writing for notes and journaling.

    If Apple Notes offered everything you did I would delete the Goodnotes app just alone for the pen/writing options.

  5. As I do not need the reminder to learn old study sets of the past semester, I would really look forward to establishing the possibility to deactivate study sets with regards to smart learning. Otherwise I always have to delete my studysets to get no notification any more.

  6. Add a button in the Bar at the top, similar to the pen layout. There is tons of empty space and the only button gives a short explanation on how to use it. There could easily be a button to convert to text, math, copy, paste, etc. Instead you have to click through the menu that pops up by holding with your finger, requiring you to drop the pen etc. This would improve workflow and is an easy implementation. Seems like forgoten feature.

  7. I would love if there was an option, when importing a PDF, to import it with a standardized and beautiful style, with text formatting, spacing, etc., sort of like Omnivore or Kindle. It would make reading PDFs on GoodNotes so much nicer of an experience. You could go even further and have options to increase text, change the color background, etc., like you can on the Kindle app.

  9. Now that the customizable taskbar update has been released, it would be useful to have the ability to resize/adjust the length of the taskbar sections left and right in order to make room for more or less tools and colors. That way instead of having a user scroll through a bunch of colors, they can just adjust the section bar to the left to reveal more of their color palette.
    [Similarly to how Window PC taskbars have the “bars” that adjust icons left and right.]

    It would also be great to have an option to lock the adjustments as well.

  10. I am using the notecards feature to study a different language. There are (4) features that would help me greatly. 1 - having multi-language support. 2 - being able to search my notecards (couldn't figure this out on Mac but needed to correct a word that I'd misspelled). 3 - In setting up my notecards, it would have been great to have a side by side option where I could look at my old notes while creating new (I eventually just opened two windows). 4 - Reverse test. It's great to know the words from one language to the other…

  11. It would be great to be able to have the opportunity to add indices and exponents to our words/letters/numbers!
    I have a bachelor's degree in biology and it would be very practical for mathematical formulas!

  13. When using keyboard function on the menu bar I can only change the style and formatting to the pre-set styles. I would like to have the ability to change Font size, Font style (Helvatica, Arial, etc.) I can do this on the Pen menu but not on the keyboard menu.

  14. As someone who relies on color coding for studying and uses GoodNotes on multiple devices, it‘s incredibly annoying to manage the colors for the pencil and highlighters on each and every device, as these things aren‘t synched with the cloud.

    A solution would be synching the tools or maybe accounts where you can create a custom set ups of tools and colors to use

  16. Search functionality

    Study-set page copying functionality, so that I can paste it into different sets of study sets for practising random questions from different topics holistically.

    Table insertion using an apple pen to either draw a table or delete a table.

    Ability to switch between handwriting, typed text and inserting photos, without erasing a study set content.

    Multiple-order bullet points functionality that is computer keyboard friendly.

    I prefer to study from a study set, rather than a flashcard template, because it presents the learning material in fairly large size when I study from my iPad screen (usually) or my computer…

  17. There are notifications inside the Goodnotes app which tell you when the app thinks it is time for you to review your study sets. I would like these notifications to trigger push notifications outside of the app, on my iPhone Lock Screen and in the Notification Centre.

  19. Allow a sidebar menu link to allow opening a document from recent history across devices.

    Useful when we don’t want to save it as a favourite but have opened in another device and want to pick up from where you left.
