  1. Integrate Goodnotes 4 Pen to Goodnotes 5

    I am one of the lucky people who is able to use Goodnotes 4 to experience the best note taking pens in the App store. ✍️

    I constantly check for Goodnotes 5 updates to see if the pen experience has improved.

    The biggest differences can be seen when writing the letter "S". 🖋️ The mechanism used in Goodnotes 5 almost forces the letter to fix itself 👷 while as in Goodnotes 4 its thicker while also making sure it doesn't force your handwriting a certain way.

    Goodnotes 4 feels so natural and without manipulation while preserving the nice thickness of…

  2. Restore recording after crash

    Audio recordings should restore themselves after a crash, app restart, etc. Competitors such as Notability already have this functionality.

  3. Pencil, Highlighter and Shapes Tool thicknes submenu option

    It would be nice to have the thicknes presets in a submenu like in one of the previous updates. It doesn‘t has to be standart but to at least the option to have it in a submenu would be nice. Ideally you‘d have up to five thicknes presets in there, so you don’t have to switch the presets thicknes. I have seven colorpresets what is just a little to wide for the space i have in the mainbar, so it would be far more comfortable to have the thicknes adjustment in a submenu so this anoying scroll thing does not…

  4. Scribble , presets for font size

    1) We can sure update scribble without a text box like we have in apple notes.
    2) Also we can have three different font size presets so we can easily change font size faster. Same should be done in the fonts , like favourite fonts so that we don't have to scroll down

  5. staves

    As a musician I would love so much to see a tool in Goodnotes which would allow to draw perfect parallel lines for music staves in any length. The optimum would be to be able to select the number of lines drawn, from only one when needed for percussion/pure rhythm notation to five for the regular system and even up to six lines (for guitar tablature). The famous music app ForScore has this feature in pro version which works great, but the general functionality of drawing and colouring in this app is so poor, I feel GoodNotes is light years…

  6. Improve tab spacing when typing

    When using text boxes, I can only tab across the screen to a certain extent (about 1/3 of the page width) before the cursor jumps to the next line. When trying to type around embedded images or handwritten notes, it’s extremely frustrating to use the tab key only so far and then have to press and hold the space bar for the cursor to go exactly where I want. It would be great if you added the ability to use the tab key across the entire page if we wanted to instead of having the cursor move to the next…

  8. Please, add the locking function

    I ask you to add the locking function, each folder or file.
    I think it would be perfect if that function was added.
    Please consider it positively.

  13. Faster scrolling

    In other apps like Notability, the scrolling is quite fast and "normal". When I tried to switch to GoodNotes, the first thing I realized is the fairly slow scrolling. Please make the scrolling faster because it can get really annoying trying to scroll around finding notes but it takes too long.

  14. Change stroke thickness by swiping up/down on size selector icon

    I use the stroke thickness A LOT.

    The new update has hidden the stroke width selectors.
    I understand that you need the space for more colors, and am fine with the updated setup.

    A “swipe up/down on icon” gesture to change the stroke’s thickness solves my problem pretty well, without needing a buttons and layout redesign.

    The current 2 tap design has killed off my speed. I didn’t realise that a single additional tap would derail me so much.

  15. Essential Text Formatting

    It would be extremely beneficial to adopt some formatting options for text, bulleted lists, and outlines similar to typical document editing programs, such as Microsoft Word or Google Docs. While the app is currently great, the lack of an option to create an outline-style text box is a huge inconvenience. If you could make an outline with roman numerals and tab over for uniform subsections the app could save countless frustrating situations that students face having to use multiple document programs. While this may seem like a small problem, it is the only thing preventing GoodNotes from completely perfecting the…

  17. GoodNotes Andoid on my Fold 4

    I love GoodNotes on iOS but would LOVE to use it on my Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 which is 7.6" - just shy of the 8" minimum. Any chance as the beta goes, GoodNotes will open up to my size screen?

  18. GoodNotes for Windows

    I know the Windows version for GoodNotes is still in the Beta, but I would like to suggest making it like the App Version. I'm also missing the Text tool. I'm only working on my desktop pc, so it's useless to use GoodNotes. It would be such a blast if this could be added in the future to make it useable for everyone.

  19. Absolute Eraser

    I think that an absolute eraser would be beneficial for Goodnotes. It would work with a higher level of erasing than what is currently available, not only erasing annotations but erasing whatever was imported. For example, importing a handout from university, an absolute eraser would allow us to erase a specific paragraph so that we can write and reword it better which fits our understanding better. This is not limited to rephrasing but also making it such that some words may be erased for fill in the blanks to promote active recall without the need to do flash cards. I…

  20. Improve studysets

    I don't know why there are two options
    1.Making flashcards using flashcards template
    2.Making flashcards using study sets
    Instead you can combine both to make it best .Read following point to know how ...
    1.There should be only one option to make flashcards (either by "Flashcard" / "Studyset" name )
    2. In this we can make our flashcard with all those options that are present in making flashcard using flashcard template
    a.Like editing image-by cropping it ,writing on it etc ,unlike studysets where we get only 3 options (text,image & sketching)

    b.Could share only selected flashcards instead of sharing whole…
