  1. I love good notes, but, unfortunately, the tool bar enables us to only use three colours which makes the process of changing colours quite tedious. I also think the toolbar takes up a lot of paper space, especially if you use more than one tab. It would be fantastic if you guys implement these changes.

    Below I have attached my designs:

  2. Please give us a fast way of adding notebook pages or purchased papers to our Template Libraries.

    I just bought a number of paper templates from the GoodNotes Store and it seems will now need to waste twenty minutes manually exporting PDFs of each individual page, and manually adding each page separately back in to my Template Library. It won’t import a multi-page pdf and split out the pages. It won’t import an exported GoodNotes notebook. It will only import templates from Files or Photos. It would be nice to just tell it to add page X from notebook Y…

  3. Is it just me?
    - You look at a part of your page
    - select the writing box
    - and it jumps to a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT part on the page

    So you then have to zoom out, orientate yourself, and then zoom back in to where you were originally trying to write.

    Clearly a programme glitch. Please look at this quick-win Mr/Mrs Engineer.

    A completely brilliant indispensable programme, so well thought through, I rave about it to everyone......apart from this INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING jumping.

    Please please please fix (please please).

  5. I use one document for my work. And each day I need diferent pages. Now I need to delete all bookmarks and prepare bookmarks for another day. If I could do this preparation in advance for all the days with diferent packs of bookmarks, it would save lot of time.

    Using outlines doesn't work for this need.

  6. We are already able to copy an image to clipboard with the lasso tool.
    Would be great if we could insert that image directly from clipboard without saving it to photos which will not create junks in the photos. A pretty small idea but an efficient one

  7. I am trying to use the build in text to speech reader with iPad OS however goodnotes is not compatible as it states "document content area" instead of the content in the document.

    I would really appreciate having some text to speech functionality to make studying easier.

  8. Digital planners would be near perfect on Goodnotes with this capability. The only think I see available is the option to basically manually import events from Goodnotes Digital Planners templates into a calendar. Having items from my calendar automatically put into my digital planner would be amazing as there are several apps that will automatically add to your apple calendar with permissions.

  9. Turning the highlighter marks into pen colors (this will obscure the text, which is what I need) allows me to temporarily hide the key word and turn them into fill-in-the-blank questions that I can memorize

  10. This feature (see attached) renders the option to toggle images on/off via the lasso tool useless. Instead, any tap on any image regardless of the tool being used will allow the image to move. This feature might be ok if image locking ever becomes an option, but for now it’s extremely frustrating when you’re working with layered images.

  11. When adding (pasting) pages to a existed document, it would be great if the width of the added page is adaptive to the width of the existing pages if all pages of the document are of the same size. If not all pages are of the same size, then allow users to choose the width, e.g. existing page width (A3/A4/…), same as preceding page, etc.

  13. Save multiple text box presets
    Sometimes when text input is used.
    It's too troublesome to adjust the style, font size and color of the text box back and forth.
    For example, if you want to use the writing of headline, subtitle and body part, you can't switch quickly
    Now that you can save the style as the default, why not add more save fields.
    Switch quickly like a pen

  15. Hey!

    I would like to request a feature that allows me to remove the background of a picture (make the BG transparent basically). For instance, let’s say I import a picture of a cup of tea on a red background. I’d like to be able to remove the red background from the image so that it becomes transparent and doesn’t overlap any object/text close to the cup of tea.

  17. when you use the select tool and use the color option, you should get the option to have multi-recolor, such that you can see each color used in the selected region and get the option to switch each color to another color manually, while also having an all - recolor option to change everything which we have now

  18. It would be great if one could move/drag the page higher, so that the hand would still lie on the tablet when one wants to write at the very bottom of the page.

  19. My school uses a Learning Management System (LMS) which accepts LTI1.3. It would be amazing if GoodNotes could also have an LTI1.3 option- which would allow my students the ability to use/access their GoodNotes in the LMS (and turn in assignments there).

    • It should be possible to fetch the desired color from the page, for example from an image.
    • Change the name of the audios, and have something that would appear if that specific page had an audio. | It was good to have an option where what we wrote during the audio didn't stay on the page, or that for example we could record the red pointer together with the audio.
    • The option to adjust the position of an object and "send to the back" or "bring to the front", also divert is possible.
