  1. I have all my notes for medical school on goodnotes. It often happens that we have the same topic in different subjects. So it would be so great if there was a „collections“ feature where I can collect all notes regarding a certain topic from different documents without it being removed from the original document or folder.
    Just like when marking certain pages of my document, there could be a function „add to collection“ and then these pages are shown when I open the collection, but also when I open the document.

  2. For me, it would be so important to just write down my extra-thoughts next to the actual page. It could be designed as „post it“ that os not on top of the page it self, but next to it, or just blanc space next to the actual page.
    I mean, theoretically there is unlimited space in Goodnotes, but I can‘t use it properly to write my thoughts right next to the related notes.
    In my opinion, it would be a pretty basic and uncomplicated feature that would make such a huge difference for me!

  3. Right now, I can only add images from Photos. I keep all of my images in folders. I would like the ability to add images from those folders too.

  4. Suggestion:

    GoodNotes currently offers a library of pre-designed templates for various purposes, such as meeting notes, to-do lists, and calendars. However, these templates are currently stored in a separate "Library" section, making it difficult to organize and access them alongside other documents.

    Proposed Solution:

    Implement a feature that allows users to organize purchased templates within their existing folder structure. This would enable users to:

    Create dedicated folders for specific template types: For example, a folder for "Meeting Notes Templates," another for "To-Do List Templates," etc.
    Easily access templates within their relevant folders: This would eliminate the need to navigate to…

  5. I would like to be able to change the color of my marking after I have made the marking. For example, if I have highlighted a full paragraph in yellow, but I later decide I want to change it to red, I don't want to have to start over. I would really like to be able to select that marking and change it without having to rehighlight or rewrite something.

  6. 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.

  7. Since latest update to iOS (17.6.1) I’ve lost the ability to create a shortcut to open a specific notebook/document.

  10. I bought an apple one-time account. By the way I want to sync my iPad with windows. So I appreciate if you provide the function for changing one-time account to annual account.

  11. I want my highlight to be less transparent so it sticks off the page more. Could we please get a way to toggle how transparent a highlight is?

  12. 虽然goodnotes 6提供了直尺以及形状工具,但对于绘图作业,这些工具仍然不够。希望添加圆规,量角器等工具,以便绘制出精准尺寸的形状。

  13. Include both an image and a text box on the front of a flashcard (e.g., an image with a related question) would greatly enhance flexibility!!

  14. I’ve been enjoying Goodnotes for most of my classes, however I find when it comes to taking notes for my electric circuit analysis classes, my drawing ability on a tablet starts to lack. So I suggest including symbols for general ECE components into the shapes library OR have an option to create custom shapes (more applicable than just ECE) that could be added to the shapes library. I enjoy the shape-snap function because it’s quick, and I need that for those fast paced lectures.

  15. It’s almost 2025 and GoodNotes has no feature to smooth and stabilize writing with the Apple Pencil. A lot of people prefer to hand write notes as using ‘scribble’ can be tedious at times, especially to those with poor handwriting which GoodNotes seems to ensure regardless of how well you write. I find it confusing that this wasn’t added a long time ago as it’s not a difficult feat compared to something like ‘word complete’ or other AI technology they have implemented is…

  17. I think the smart study feature lets you repeat the cards way too often. This is really frustrating if you have a study set with a lot of cards (100+). I think it would be better if the intervals were longer.

  19. When there are many recordings available if you select one to play you have to go back and find the specific one so I would like for the specific recording that is being played to be highlighted so you can know which one is which when you want to select it.

  20. Students across the world use GoodNotes. They use it for reading and making notes. Some of those books and notes are so big that it seems impossible to read them again and again to memorise. It is helpful if we make notes out of it. Thet is the standard approach. But it is tedious and time consuming to do so.
    Wouldn’t it be easier to just select the text that you’re reading and paste it to a new document to make an entirely separate notebook with all the selected text. That way it would be faster to make notes and…
