  1. Printing out PDFs

    I would like to have the ability to print out PDFs so I can place them directly next to a picture, text or another PDF on the Canva. I know that OneNote for example already offers this and I used it very frequently.

  2. Provide different fonts in type section of Goodnotes

    Apparently goodnotes 6 only provides 1 default font type in the "typing section",

    I suggest goodnotes to provide different text fonts in goodnotes, such as "Times New Roman", just like in the textbox feature.

    If this feature of providing different text font is also provided in the "typing section", this would be very useful, as some people are only used to a particular type of font.

  3. Audio Transcription for more iPad model !!

    Please add support for more iPad models for audio transcription, as many students use Goodnotes for note-taking. This feature is very useful, but unfortunately, it only works on several iPad models. Not all students can afford to but a new iPad while the old ones still working!!

  4. CANT SEE WORDS I WRITE WITH PENCIL TOOL

    I really like the new pencil writing tool, it’s definitely my favorite to write with in terms of smoothness and just what I like for journaling - but I can’t actually use it because it’s SOOO LIGHT. Like its opacity is WAY WAY DOWN. Can it be like an actual pencil?? So I can write with it and actually be able to read it??

    COLOR DROPPER FUNCTION FOR FOLDERS!!!

    I am a medical student and have 12 classes this semester. There are only 9 colors to choose from when picking a folder color. Is there any way we can add a color dropper to the folder colors? To give us more options for colors!

  7. More languages for writing / pen support.

    I dont write all my notes in english and it would be great to be able to have all my notes be the same- no matter the language.
    Would be great if there would be added icelandic, Danish and more european options.

  8. Ability to hide ‘tab view’ when working on documents

    currently you are forced to have this ‘tab view’ at the top of your screen that seems to be a huge waste of space when you are working on a single document and not jumping around. Please add the ability to toggle a ‘tab view’ so you can enter more of a full screen viewing mode. Similar to notability.

  9. Goodnotes can implement iOS 18's calculator AI into the app

    Goodnotes can implement iOS 18's calculator AI into the app to calculate when the user types mathematical formulas, including advanced calculation formulas, something we can't do with iOS/iPadOS 18's calculator.

  11. Changing thickness of writing with lasso tool

    I hope the Lasso tool could change the thickness of the writing. Currently we could change the color, but at times we need the thickness to separate titles from body text that we couldn't do when we are busy taking notes. This could help the note review process slightly more efficient.

  12. Please add 'Draw and Hold' feature to 'Tape tool'

    I really hope it will be possible to use 'Draw and Hold' feature when using 'Tape tool'.

    You know, 'Draw and Hold' means, it allows the pen tool to draw any shapes by holding stylus at the end of a stroke.

    In Goodnotes, we can already use this function when using 'pen tool' or else, except 'Tape tool'.

    When using Tape tool, we can just draw a line and cannot draw any shapes by holding stylus at the end of a stroke..

    I added some picture that can explain what I said. These are pictures that I took when using…

  13. Search pencil tool

    Can you please allow the search function to work with notes written with the pencil tool? I see the search function works for the pen, but I prefer the feel of the pencil when taking notes. Thank you.

  15. Pages side by side

    Can we please be able to have 2 pages side by side in landscape view.
    On one side a text for example and on the other side : notes, drawings...etc the split screen feature makes the need of scrolling the 2 sides differently. Also if printed the pages face each other.
    Very useful when we annotate a pdf document.
    That feature exists for example on the app "Sriptation" that I often use.

  17. Eraser Customization

    The current smallest eraser size is still too big to make fine adjustments. I’d love to see the ability to set a custom size, like with the pencil.

  19. Option to Hide Pages in a Document

    not sure if this has been brought up but as a student, sometimes our notes have pages irrelevant to our revision but we can't delete it either. similar to Google Slides, maybe Goodnotes can add a function to allow you to hide pages so that it wont appear when you scroll through the document, but can still access in the pages menu maybe?
