  1. I travel a lot and am randomly signed out of my Goodnotes account. When this happens and I don’t have internet, I am unable to access any of my notes, despite the fact that they’re downloaded to my iPhone and/or iPad. Is there a way to continue to access my Goodnotes notes when signed out and without Internet access??

  2. I am using Goodnotes on MacOS 12.6 and there are no updates that work with my version of the mac. My notebooks are not getting updated on iCloud.
    At least fix it so we don't always need the latest version to have our files synchronized across all devices...

  3. A button to configure a specific card to be reviewed with both the question first, or the answer, helping us to study cards in both directions, as already used in some flash card apps.

    Would also be ideal to be able to use the tape on the flash card questions, if tape is implemented.

  4. It would be cool if we could bulk import pen/pencil/highlight colors. To click through as you add is a bit time consuming.

    Also, I think we should have different pen types. My handwriting looked phenomenal on the pages app but I love Goodnotes so I’m sticking with it.

  6. Dear GoodNotes Team,

    I am an avid user of GoodNotes and greatly appreciate the page linking feature. However, I would like to propose a few improvements to streamline this functionality.

    Currently, generating a page link requires navigating to the previous page of the target page, creating and copying the link, and then deleting the text box afterward. This workflow feels unnecessarily cumbersome.

    It would be incredibly helpful if you could add an option to copy the link of the current page directly from the “More” menu. Additionally, having a shortcut key for this function would enhance usability even further.

    Thank…

  7. I’m working on a university project and need reliable statistics on child abduction cases in Minnesota. I'm particularly interested in recent trends, different types of abductions, and demographic data. If anyone knows of credible sources—like government reports, studies, or databases—that provide detailed info on this topic, I’d really appreciate your recommendations. It’s been tough finding accurate data! Thanks in advance for any assistance!

  8. En la función de tiras estaría muy bien tener una opción que permita cubrir/descubrir todas las tiras a la vez en lugar de ir una por una.

    Gracias

  10. I would like to be able to choose what orientation the fountain draws. I would prefer it be flat like this “—“ rather than slanted “ / “ I have a pencil pro but I would rather it stay flat like this “—“ “than me have to rotate it everytime.

  13. I would love to see continuous numbering across pages in the numbered list format on the typing side of Goodnotes. It drives me a little bit crazy that my list numbers start over when I need to continue onto a new page and my list starts back at "1."!!!

  14. 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. I use lasso tool to move parts of my diagrams. Until last update, it was selecting only shapes under selected area. I was able to select inner shape from a nested shape. Unfortunately now every time I select a nested shape, the outer shape also move along. This is happening when outer shape is perfect shape (with shape tool). Kindly disable this feature or provide mode to select option.

  16. I think it would be nice if there is a feature to join two markings/Highlight strokes together such that the overlap vanishes

  17. It would be great if there was an option to change the font. Not just use headers ore bold/italic.

  18. 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.

  19. There could be an option to have text boxes saved in custom locations based on the template. I attached an example if some folks don't know what Cornell notes are, but like having text boxes ready to use in each section of a Cornell Note so there's no reason to click-to-create and resize a new text box on every single page or text boxes already cropped to size in the days/months boxes on a calendar.

    Also please add this even if it this rec doesn't get a ton of votes Goodnotes people because it would SIGNIFICANTLY reduce my studying time.

  20. Masking tapes with colorful patterns and the improvement of shapes such as a heart, star, cloud, conversation bubble like in a comic book, question mark, exclamation mark, brace sign, etc. - all this is offered by other applications
