  1. Integrate maths notes to Goodnotes

    As a Physics teacher I have to do so much calculations while solving numerical. It will be very helpful if we have apple math notes with all the features like graph plotting and variable detection etc integrated to goodnotes.

  2. Add back ability to click on page to minimize side-bar to see results

    Used to be able to search or open “table of contents / outline” and then when you clicked on your selection in the sidebar or on the page the sidebar would be minimized / in the background. The first pic the sidebar is open and to visualize the entire page you now have to tap on the search/table on contents icon at the top to minimize and see the entire page. The other 2 uploads is a previous search where you clicked on your selection in the sidebar and then you could click on the page to minimize the sidebar…

  4. Custom Sort Option

    I like that we have three options of sorting, but honestly I would like to either manually sort the folders etc…or have it where inside different folders you can have a different option selected. To be honest having both would be awesome.

  5. Allow the user to use the AI feature to ask questions for an entire folder, not just a notebook or one document

    I use quicknotes for all of my notes in class, a separate document for each day of class. It would be nice if I could use the AI feature to ask questions about a whole folder because I don’t always remember what day of class I learned a specific subject.

  6. formatting when handwritting

    formatting handwriting in GoodNotes is a real chore.
    For example, I want to insert a carriage return, there is no gesture to do that, or insert a tab. It really defeats the purpose if I have to go back through and apply formatting.

    Every good critique has a proposal:
    Most people hold their tablet with two hands, I envision a tool pallet on the opposite side, where the user can use their thumb to press buttons like "new line", or tab. this can later be expanded to include buttons like italic, bold, different pen colors.

    A second idea, is to…

  7. Image stabilizer

    A feature that allows us to write over an image without selecting it by accident. Every time I write on images it gets frustrating when it selects it. It would be nice if images can only be selected when we click on the image tool so it doesn’t interfere with my writing.

  8. Remove background

    The tool similar to the one they have on word ( either the remove background, or set to transparent tool) for images… because I love to make aesthetic notes and it is so time consuming having to manually remove the background on images of third party tools and then import them into my notes

  9. Add a 2 page display option to show PDF as a book

    Add the ability to display 2 pages at once as if it were an open book.

    It would be a massive advantage to read and annotate a 100+ page pdf, as information often continues from one page to the other and single page view is very limiting,

    This is the only reason preventing me from using this otherwise great app.

  10. Fix handwriting with hover enabled

    Hover seems to break handwriting in Goodnotes with Apple Pencil. My handwriting looks noticeably worse with hover enabled, it's as if there are tails coming out of my handwriting even after the pencil has been lifted off the screen. Other apps seem to have overcome this problem. Please fix this as this is a dealbreaker for an otherwise solid app.

  11. Allow option to open or close ALL TAPES in a document

    I like how when the tapes are open, they look like highlighted texts, so I can read through the document without getting bothered by the tapes. And when I finally decide to quiz myself, I can just close them all at once.

  12. Short trial of marketplace items before buying

    There are many add ons in the marketplace like planners for example that we’d have to pay for to access.

    There should ideally be an option to try them out for a short period of time before buying. It’s difficult to determine which planner option would be bested based on the screenshots shown under each in the marketplace.

    The last thing anyone wants is to spend €9.99 on a planner that doesn’t suit your needs.

  13. AI sketch enhancement

    I would like to have an "AI Pencil Enhancement" option Pencil within the GoodNotes pencil bar. This feature would leverage AI to transform rough sketches into refined drawings with clean lines, consistent shapes, and enhanced details. Users could customize the level of refinement and choose from various drawing styles. Such as the Feature Apple presented from Apple Intelligence at WWDC 24.

  15. Artistic Pens !

    Hello, in the attachments I have added screenshots from only one CollaNote application, in which, in addition to basic pens, calligraphy pens and a classic pencil, we also get a dozen or so decorative artistic and 3D markers. Goodnotes is great, but it lags behind the competition when it comes to markers. Please add new pens.

  17. Paste accross multiple selected pages

    In the pages tab can we select multiple pages and then choose “paste into” to then paste the clipboard contents into all selected pages in the same place as the item was copied from. Eg boxes, shapes, text for tabs etc

    I know we can paste pages but paste INTO pages would be amazing.

  18. Change UI color as an option !! Can't stand blue UI any more.

    I was using Good Notes for a while, it was great. However, I can't stand the blue color of the ribbon in the UI any more (it's the same for me as with the OneNote, I can't stand their purple color). The white and blue UI in the reading mode is alright, however in the writing mode it becomes very annoying. Could you add an option in the settings to change the color scheme to white and gray (or some smooth black), at least make an option to preserve the reading mode scheme all the time even in the editing…

  20. Making Hidden sticky notes more useful.

    Let us expand the usefulness of the comment feature, I would like to write a mind map for each page and then hide it like the comments, the comment and sticky notes that you have provided for us could be more useful if we can write and draw on that using the Ipad pencil. Like making mind maps. The “linking page” feature is almost the same as what i need, but still a hidden mind map would be the most helpful.
