  1. In the screenshot below I was linking the pages of my weekly readings for a class. I had the beginning of each week in the outline and wanted to access them by clicking on the text at the beginning like a table of contents. I had to link them by having the outline open on the side then scrolling to find the page on the other menu. I think it would be more efficient to just have the option to see bookmarked and outline drop a like and comment if you agree.

  3. Now that audio recording is available, you also need to add functionality to allow the audio to be exported out of the note as a separate mp3. I use this function on another note-taking program so that I can have the audio transcribed. I can't use Good Notes for my job until this is possible, so I'm staying tuned to see if this is added in the future. Not sure if other people are this specific. Adding this and voting for all the suggestions that are close to this idea.

  4. The Laser-pointer is nice and i appreciate it. But it would be cool if you could customise colour, transparency and how long the laser will stay on the paper

  6. Until now all flashcards are white but it would be good if we could change the color to improve studying.

  8. Within the smart learn function in making flachcards, priority customisation function would be beneficial in improving the learning the ability of the flashcards. Give us the option to choose which flashcards should take priority within the smart learning instead of the flashcards showing at random.

  10. Hello GoodNotes Team,

    I’ve been experiencing significant issues with the audio recording feature after restoring my data using an iCloud backup. Since the restoration, my audio recordings no longer sync properly with my notes. For example, when I play recordings at 2x speed, only the audio accelerates while the notes remain at 1x speed, causing a mismatch between the two. Additionally, the app crashes frequently during playback.

    I’ve seen reports of similar issues from other users as well, so it seems to be a recurring problem. This issue is severely affecting my workflow, and I would appreciate it if this…

  12. 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.

  13. Notability has a feature that creates transcripts from audio recordings and syncs the written notes with the transcript. I believe this feature would be incredibly useful and make Goodnotes more competitive with Notability. PLEASE make this a feature in an upcoming update!!!

  14. Would like for programs like Launcher Pro and others to launch the app without the app believing you are trying to upload a file. This creates an error every time I launch Goodnotes from Launcher on my iPad.

  15. Wäre super, wenn man die Seitenränder individuell einstellen könnte, damit es auch mit den Vorgaben von Universitäten übereinstimmt. (Z.b. für Abgaben)

  16. I often teach math using goodnotes. It would be great, if I could turn on the visibility of the ruler. So my students could see, where I put the ruler and how I meassure.

  17. It would be helpful to group open notes like they're tabs.

    This would be helpful as I could still have my frequently visited notes open on the Goodnotes app, but they wouldn't be taking up a lot of space at the top of the app (and I wouldn't have to reopen the same note multiple times a day). I would be able to find and organize my notes easier and it would look nicer.

    I have attached screenshots of what this tab grouping looks like on Chrome as an example of what it could look like on Goodnotes.

  18. When you are writing to convert to text it will not match what I capitalize. Only the leading letter of the sentence or phrase.

  19. While I love the current organization options, I think it would be amazing if we could be able to move folders/notebooks around ourselves (or manually). Like a manual option as well.

  20. As an secure organisation, we only allow Apple Volume purchase program (VPP) apps as per https://www.apple.com/au/business-docs/VPP_Business_Guide_EN_Oc16_ANZ.pdf.

    Since the public app store is not allowed in our managed iOS / iPAD OS devices, can you provide a feature such as sign in for the paid subscription to the VPP apps version of Good Notes.
