  1. Turn handwritten titles into links

    I would love to be able to use the lasso tool to select a handwritten word in a notebook and have that take me to a particular section in my notes. I know you can link to a certain page, but from my knowledge the link must be typed and I would like to be able to be able to link to a section of the screen. This could maybe be done by zooming into a certain section that you want to link to and having a button up the top allowing you to save that position in the screen…

  2. Ruler Settings

    I love the ruler, however, why is the inch version set to 1/10 of an inch increments? This makes zero sense. It's a metric ruler with an inch baseline and is of ZERO value. I use this feature to get rough square footage calculations from architectural drawings and although it works ok - if you are claiming to have a ruler, please have a "ruler."

  3. Critical problem: User copy and paste large amount of text into Goodnotes 6 app resulting in data loss

    After I copied 1,409 words from Bear iPadOS app and pasted into Goodnotes 6 iPadOS app, only some text are pasted. Most of it are truncated (data loss) as the pasted text only stops at the first page (current page). The Goodnotes 6 app failed to auto create new pages to cater to the pasted text. This is not a problem for all note taking apps in the iPad App Store.

    Add the option to have no language selected for text recognition so you won't get the red dots under your handwriting in your own language

  5. Fix Search function, please

    • there is an issue with it highlighting the correct word so it will show that the word is on the page but it won't highlight it or if it does highlight it the highlighting is not actually on the word so you still have to look around the highlighting to find the word you're looking for

    • there is a glitch that makes searching really slow so I have to retype the word a few times for it to show up

    • sometimes it says the word is not in the document but when I search on other platforms it comes up…

  6. Table of Contents

    Please create an auto-generated table of contents template, that can also be edited. This should include an option to sort by date, through your outline, or topics.

    Someone else said "Allow me to select the text, eg my page heading like (meeting to discuss projected financial) and then click on a button which shoots the page heading to an automatically generated table of contents in the front of the Notebook. Table of contents will be built using all the specified headings, and should also display the date of that entry for easy reference." THIS IS GREAT AND SO HELPFUL.

  10. Grouping notes like tabs

    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.

  12. To Do List App integration

    Many of us use Goodnotes to take notes but are also using to do apps/task management apps (e.g. Todoist, SkedPal) to keep track of our work. We used to be able to take handwritten notes, convert to text, and then run a shortcut that would push it out to todoist; however, that seems to be broken. Any foothold you can provide that would allow for easy integration to a task management app would be amazing - I’d be able to quickly move my todos out of my notes and into my task list and I’d be so productive (…granted I’d…

  13. arrange

    When arranging objects I would like to be able to send back and forward some items between items. If I have more than two overlapping objects, it’s a pain to place objects in the order I want. For example, there are apps the send the object completely to the back or front, but I can also send forward or backwards the object not entirely to the back. I don’t want to send back an object but then have to send front the other and the other to have them in the correct arrangement. This happens when working a collage or…

  19. Side-by-side pages

    It would be nice being able to see more than one page at the same time. I love the overview that you get in the thumbnail feature but it would be awesome if you could edit the pages while comparing them. (like the feature Microsoft Word has where you can see two pages side by side)

  20. Tiled Display of Cards in Study Set

    The study set is a very nice feature, but it is not fully functional yet. One of the requests regarding the study set is the ability to display cards in a tiled or list format. If pairs of cards were lined up on the left and right, as in the image, and could be shown and hidden with a tap, it would greatly increase the efficiency of learning.
