  1. Please bring back Community Notes!! It was one of the most meaningful parts of using Goodnotes. I relied on it every day while learning Korean and Mandarin. Seeing how other learners structured their notes, practiced grammar, and organized vocabulary didn’t just help me study. It gave me motivation, community, and the feeling that I wasn’t learning alone.

    Community Notes turned Goodnotes from just an app into a shared classroom across the world. Without it, something feels missing. Bringing it back would mean restoring that bridge of inspiration and connection that so many of us truly valued.

  4. It would be nice if we were able to use more than 1 default font in typing mode. The feature is useful and could be upgraded to be like the text box feature to include numerous fonts to choose from and to be able to use custom fonts like other popular note-taking apps such as Notability and Freenotes.

  5. I would like to propose the idea of an eraser only, as I have been using Goodnotes for a very long time, and in the recent update an eraser for only highlights and tape was being added. I found it convenient and easy to use, but I encountered some problems as I could not out my writing without deleting highlights and tape, I found it frustrating and inconvenient as I have to re-highlight or re-tape every time I want to change something, therefore by adding pen only eraser it would solve the problem, and would certainly elevate my experience in…

  6. Sometimes I'll go back during a live translation to copy down what someone said. However, when I scroll up to look at the translation, it forces me back down to the newest translation making it impossible to look at the past text while it's translating live. I would love for it to not force me to scroll and instead just have a button to take me back down to the newest text once im done.

  9. As someone who struggles with a physical illness (hand tremors), having a drawn line snap to the background grid of a page or having anything snap to a grid pattern of a page, would really, really help. It seems bizarre that this very basic feature is not available as its available on Notability. It's the single reason I can't switch over completely to Goodnotes, as just about everything is great, except for that very, very important feature.

  10. I often have to switch from searching by name, to the most recent document. Having the banner with date, name on the top center of the screen was very convenient. Either I changed a setting or the banner was removed and now a much more tedious process of going through the drop down menu. Please return the banner to the top of the page, or make it an option like "header".

  11. We should be able to organize different screens differently.
    Say that I have a main page full of different folders, with content inside each folder. I would like to be able to order the folders by title, but the content by last edited.

  12. Game changer app Rock Daily Planner, combine what I was looking for since first Apple pencil came. Calendar based notes with hand writing. It can replace my go- around notes management where with templates I simulate functional calendar …. My most desired approach for note taking (in business)

  13. Hi,
    In class, we tried to collaborate on vocabulary by having each student write down a portion of the words in a separate study set. The idea was that at the end of the lesson, we could merge all the sets into one, so everyone has the complete vocabulary list.

    Unfortunately, we realized that Goodnotes doesn’t currently allow merging study sets, which makes this workflow impossible. Instead of learning with 30 different study sets, it would be great to have a feature that lets us combine multiple sets into one.

    Would love to see this added—does anyone else think this…

  14. It would be really helpful to have something that warns the user that there is writing already on the document to prevent overwriting. Sometimes when writing on a page, it doesn't fully load for a very long time and turns up blank.

  15. Goodnotes has been added to windows which is great, however the user experience is poor when it comes to using something like a Wacom tablet connected to the PC. Often times strokes will be cut off half way through writing or deleted entirely I imagine this could be fixed with a quick update.

  17. I find the application very good and practical, but I think it could be improved a lot if some key functions were added. For example, the possibility of creating tables similar to those in Word, with the option to give them custom colors and formats, which would help a lot to organize the information in a visual and orderly way. It would also be very useful to have brushes to highlight, underline or customize annotations in a more dynamic way. In addition, I consider it important that documents can be sorted according to my preferences and not only by date…

  18. More features on the "type with keyboard" tab, such as highlight, superscript and subscript, and maybe even equations in keyboard (for all of us math students)

  19. Could you please consider allowing masking tape to be activated during pointer mode?
    Having to manually switch modes slows down the natural pace of a lesson or a talk. Offering direct access to masking tape without switching would provide a much smoother and more flexible experience for all users.

  20. I wanna say yes and and improve the Index Post-It idea. It makes navigating in the digital notebook almost impossible when you don‘t have guiding index post-it‘s on the side, especially if the content of the study is already quite big by it‘s nature, like the German Grammer. Having the ability to put it would make Goodnotes equal with the paper book alternative. But having it as a Structure-Tree would make it even better.

    I have drawn a simple UX Sketch here. The idea is to give the Content Structure Tree its own extended module to be able to freely…
