  1. Allow the user to pin certain files or folders so that they stay at the top in the document browser, regardless of the sort settings. For example, I like sorting my date, but I don't want to have to dig through my files to find my folders. Instead, I would like to be able to pin the folders I want while still sorting the rest of my documents by date.

    (I know GoodNotes already has "Favorites" which is pretty similar and I guess essentially has the same use, but I just find it more convenient to view pinned documents on…

  3. I use adobe color to pick out sets of colors and I wish I could group them easily long-term in Good Notes 5. I would like to see the ability to assign color palette groups to a new notebook and a menu to alter the current palette. The workflow would look like:

    I find a set of n hex values to import into good notes
    I copy & paste, Good Notes intelligently recognizes a list of hex values and asks if I would like to import.
    I accept and see a small box menu that describes “Which Notebooks to Add…

  4. 1 - There should be at least different types of tables available.
    2- mind mapping should a must have thing for students for making and remembering notes very easily.
    3 - shifting of documents ,notes , and pictures automatic to next page if added in between will be very helpful for us.

  5. GoodNotes takes several gigabytes (sometimes more than 10 gigs) of RAM on my computer for just 5 documents. These are not fancy documents, just one note with 17 pages, one grayscale textbook PDF around 400 pages, and 3 more notes with about 5 pages each. This definitely should be fixed. This happens when the GoodNotes is running for several days, and seems like GoodNotes will never release acquired RAM, which is something any programmer should have learned in his/her Introduction to Programing course. Chrome, which is famous for its RAM consumption, "only" (I used the word loosely, comparing to GoodNotes…

  6. I use several colors regularly and I must select the one that does not appear in the bar. If there were 4 colors and even five you could have them available more quickly. Others handwriting apps have quite a few colors available on the taskbar so you don't waste time choosing. In the figure I have put six colors and it does not look bad.

  8. Current scroll mechanics has no acceleration, pretty painful skimming long notes (ie. > 20 pages).
    Enable drag sidebar to scroll will be great.

  9. I want to hide the status bar in iPadOS 15 for screen work space.
    In the previous iPadOS 14, I was able to hide the status bar, so I could use the screen space largely, but I can't hide it after I turned 15, so it's a little inconvenient.

  10. Button from home taking you straight to your open tabs so you don't have to click on a random file, delete it and then continue working on your already opened tabs.

  11. I want a ruler that moves on GoodNotes according to the magnification of the note. Sometimes I want to draw a line that is accurately lengthed in your notebook. I also want a function that allows me to draw a circle centered on a certain point.

  12. It would be perfect if you added another type of pen, mimicking colour pencils. That would be a great addition, since all we have now is either a transparent highlighter or a solid marker. It should be precise, pressure sensitive, and angle of the apple pencil sensitive.

  14. There are a lot of times where a sketch,graph,shape is symmetrical around a point and copying one side of the graph for example won’t do the job. It would be really easy and precise if the lasso tool had vertical and horizontal flipping.

  15. Bug: the new iPad mini 6 doesn't have the settings for stylus and palm rejection. I'm guessing that it isn't on the list of supported devices yet. Extremely inconvenient because a finger touch draws and there is no way to turn this off.

  16. I love that you can backup to google drive but think it would be even better if we could backup specific folders in goodnotes to specific folders in google drive. i.e. a lecture notes folder on goodnotes only syncs to a google drive folder for that class.

  18. On dark paper when you highlight after writing, the highlighter goes over the pen instead of under, which is bothersome. Would prefer if y'all made it so that the default is highlight goes under pen no matter what the color of the paper is.

  20. I will use different pen style when taking notes in class. I need to switch very quickly. But Goodnotes only can quick switch 3 colours which is not enough.
