  1. Automatically switch between pen and full keyboard when pen is used on the keyboard page or key is pressed on the pen page. Or switch to pen tab when pencil is undocked, and switch to keyboard when pen is docked. This would make it easy to use a pen to draw while typing with an external keyboard like the Magic Keyboard for iPad.

  2. When presenting/mirroring to a display, there should be an option to always show the full width of the page, regardless of whether you zoom in or out on the iPad. The next page should appear directly below the previous one when scrolling vertically, so that you theoretically have an “infinite” page to present.

  3. So every time I've to choose a different notebook from a different document I'm being forced to exit my current notebook and go to documents and find my new notebook which makes the accessibility hard.
    In such case as we can see below OneNote by Microsoft has made it easier.
    As far as I know, this could be the only thing that Goodnotes lacks as of now.

  4. 更新到6.6.70後,
    便利貼功能這版本有問題,
    狀況1:在任何文件上,無論有沒有上一動功能下,開啟便利貼功能在PDF上,便利貼會顯示游標,但輸入鍵盤不會跳出來,也無法切換任何功能,最後若主動關閉GoodNote後,再開GoodNote,所有文件打開都變成白色,直到重開iPad才能恢復;若不主動關閉,則會閃退,再開有時會與前述一樣變成白色的,有時就會恢復正常。
    狀況2:若能成功開啟便利貼功能,並且也完成編輯後,若再次開啟便利貼功能,則又會發生前述狀況1的問題。

  5. I have an iPad Air 5th generation m1, I can’t use the pro palette function which really disgruntled me. I suggested a feature a while back suggesting an alternative optional wheel menu for the toolbar instead of the regular straight toolbar at the top or bottom, now I discover that this format is available but only for Apple Pencil pro compatible devices which is incredibly disappointing.

    I really suggest expanding the wheel/palette format to the entire toolbar, pencil pro users can keep the squeeze feature and people who don’t use Apple Pencil pro would also be able to enjoy the…

  7. Hello,

    Adding the flashcard feature is a serious improvement to the app. I have two requests that can improve said feature.

    1. When I enter into practice mode the app displays black bars which make the flashcard smaller. Is it possible for you to remove those black bars to make it more readable?
    2. Can you possible create a sharable link for non-Apple users? I want to create flashcards for my students but I’m only able to share it with those who have Goodnotes, which are only a handful of students.

  8. I use the text tool many times on Mac, but the color keeps reverting to black. Even though I created my own preset and removed black from it, it still reverts to black. If the text tool could default to the first color in the preset like pen tool, it would be much more convenient.

  9. There is an issue with the usage of the Apple Pencil Pro.

    First, when using the pen with the hover feature is enabled, the writing experience feels significantly different compared to when it is disabled. Specifically, enabling the hover feature causes severe strokes or unintended extensions in the written text.

    Second, please fix the pencil experience. There is an issue with drawing curved shapes, where part of the shape turns into a dotted line. Additionally, the pencil tool appears too faint, leading to reduced visibility.

  10. On smaller Ipads I would like to use most of the screen as paper but the toolbar takes up so much space on the screen. A way to put it in full screen mode to edit or even have the option to make it smaller like apple notes or notability would be great.

  11. I really often change strokes depending on the situation.
    I need more variation for these.

  12. I accidentally didn't turn off my audio recording on my iPad and it has been recording for 5 hours. I want to edit it so that it's only the length of my lecture but there's no option to do so. Please add a way to shorten the length of the recording. Thank you.

  14. When you select text, either with your finger or your tablet pen, along with the options, like “define”, “highlight”, “strikethrough” you would also have “tape” which would put tape over all of your selected text.
    Example is shown below.

  15. Requesting the ability to create a sticker which contains an added link, which can be edited as needed, mainly for the use of repeat pasting to pages.

    Example: I have created a document which has internal page links throughout. I want to add a sticker that already has a link embedded to a specific page within the document.

    Otherwise, I am unable to group together a sticker with a text link to copy and paste into other portions of the document as needed.

  16. GoodNotes is fantastic for handwritten notes, but it lacks deeper organizational tools like the page hierarchies available in OneNote.

    Adding features such as pages, subpages, and sections would significantly improve the ability to manage complex projects, studies, or work materials.
    This would not only enhance productivity but also allow users to navigate their notes with greater clarity, all while preserving the joy of handwriting.

    Implementing this would provide users with better control and structure, making GoodNotes an even more powerful tool for both personal and professional use.

  17. I use Goodnotes for studying. So I thought that making a sheet of a study planner would work well. I can see my schedule within Goodnotes at once. I think it would be beneficial, instead of carrying study planner books instead.(= carrying studying books makes my bag heavier and also makes less room in my backpack to put more books in.)

  18. Please make an option to export or share the audio recorded on the app. This would be really helpful to also have the audios on the cloud.
