  2. Detatch the color palette for markers and pens so you can change colors quickly and move wherever you want. The palette could be moved freely and displayed vertically or horizontally. The background could be translucent but the colors in the palette could be shown correctly (rn Night mode shows highlighters colors in a weird way)

  4. I would honestly pay extra for this app literally just for that.

  5. I always use goodnotes in math class. If I use a ruler as an image and then want to rotate it, the scale changes. this is very bad for a ruler. it would be a very good improvement of goodnotes if i could fix graphics so that the scaling no longer changes when you rotate them.

  6. I miss the bookmark icon too, but I also understand that toolbar space gets scarce - there might even be other features upcoming that need it.
    So why not overlay the bookmark icon/button on the actual page - in the top left or right corner, like every ebook reader app does?
    (Zooming and scrolling ensures it could not cover up something on the page.)

  7. Would like to be able to add a template for larger paper

    At present, the largest paper template is a tabloid, but due to the nature of the work, I am used to thinking and recording on larger paper. In other recording apps, there are 300 times the size, such as "Unlimited Draft". Although I don't need such a large paper, I still hope There are larger paper templates, such as large newspaper templates or modules that are several times or even ten times larger than the current tabloid. Thanks.

  9. It would be nice to add an Apple pencil pen function, Mono Line Pen, and Watercolor Pen function, which are installed in iPAD OS 16.1.

  10. Can we add the option to insert a new blank page, which has exactly the same size as the pages in the PDF?

    As a student, I open various PDF slides everyday. However, when I want to insert a blank page in between for more detailed notes, it's difficult to figure out the exact same width. But using a page with a different width makes scrolling and zooming less fluid.

  11. Hello GoodNotes Team,

    I'm a teacher and we are currently testing tablet-classes (iPads). I asked my student to create a GoodNotes document for my lessons and share it with my, for me to view their notes. Now comes my suggestion, could you add a function to create folder in which shared-documents can be sorted/moved? That way I could sort them by class/subject, which would make it clearly arranged and much easier to find a specific shared-document.

  12. Please allow us to embed YouTube videos in our notes.

    Also allow us to import video files and audio files from our device into our notes.

    These features are very important for study purposes. I can’t efficiently go through all of the info that I have to review without being able to make proper use of YouTube videos, as well as video and audio files.

  13. Since it takes a lot of time to write flashcards by hand, it would be amazing to have a feature to create flashcards from the notes directly.
    GoodNotes already possesses the ability to recognize the written text. It would be great to add the option to create flashcards by "highlighting"/marking the text you want to create a flashcard with and the app creates the flashcard automatically.
    I feel like this would help a lot of students who have to read a lot so they can save time in making flashcards.

  14. I type or dictate my notes, so they are typed on my mac.
    It would be nice to be able to do an outline format for my notes.

    this is a pain in goodnotes and since I don't just use it as a planner but a notetaking app it is something that is critical.

    I've actually started checking out other apps for class and bsns notes.

  15. If you write a text and just want to move one word / sentence, you have to be very careful that your selection doesn’t touch other parts you don’t want to select.
    It would be great if GoodNotes could figure out, what you want to select. The Apple Notes App does this.

  16. I wish I could change the color of the file on the main screen to something other than blue. It would be cool to change the color I chose myself. It's time to distinguish between all files....

  17. Quick duplicate: lasso/select object, tap, hold, drag, & release.
    Options for selected objects/elements: add ability to lock object(s) (to prevent erasing or moving) or group multiple objects together.

  18. Be able to type directly into the document without having to use a text box. Like a word document for example. But still be able to write or annotate if wanted.

  19. Toggle Menu like the one in Notion would be a game changer for Goodnotes. It will help me as a medical student to recap and memorize my notes in an organized way, leave Notion and use only one app that has everythig i need.
