  1. Sometimes a PowerPoint slide or PDF file might not have enough room to write notes on, or gets too cluttered.

    I like to create a new blank page and write notes on that. The issue is the fact that sometimes these additional notes do not take up the whole page so I just have a huge blank area beneath the notes.

    I'd like a way to resize each individual page, if needed. That way, I can cut out all the blank, wasted space and keep my notes seamless.

  2. Have a feature that summarise what is written at the end of the day to revise or recap the important ideas across different notebooks. Show "card-like" pages sorted by different notes/folder. A good way to review what we've learn and to slows down forgetting curve.

  5. The app is amazing. I just got it today BUT I can think of a feature that would be very useful - locking individual pages so that you can’t write on it until you unlock it. I’m a very clumsy person and I always end up accidentally writing/drawing on things on accident even when I am done with them.
    I see a request to lock all pages but I would also like the function to lock them individually so that I finish them I don’t put something on there that I don’t want.

  7. In university, there are some worksheets that are blank. Is it possible to have "virtual lines" so that our handwriting can be neater. These lines should not be permanent & not show up on the final document.

  10. When I inputted my class Syllabus and other long multiple-page documents to my notebooks they cluttered my notebook. It would be great if we could have a feature that condenses those un-necessary elements to one outline level and separate subsequent pages in the large documents from the rest of the notebook view.

    Maybe utilize the vertical and horizontal scrolling? Have normal pages scroll using the user designated scroll direction (eg vertical) and the sub-outline pages scroll the other scroll direction (eg horizontal).

    You could only add two directions then I suppose

  11. It would be great if highlighters worked on black paper just as on white. What I mean is: if I write with black pen on white, the highlighter goes behind the written text, but if I write on black paper with white tint, the highlighter goes over the text. I prefer using the dark theme.

  13. PLEASE REMOVE THE NEW (+) BUTTON FROM THE DASHBOARD. PLEASE REPLACE IT WITH A SIMPLE PLUS SIGN LOCATED TOP RIGHT. THERE IS NO REASON THE + SIGN SHOULD OCCUPY SO MUCH SPACE IN THE DASHBOARD.

  16. For formatting reasons, I would love to be able to keep my images, tables etc. in the same spot. Even a 'send to back' 'bring forward' option. It's so difficult at the moment.

  18. I recently switched all my notes and flashcards over to GoodNotes because I loved the flash card feature so much. Most flashcards apps randomize the cards which I personally don’t like because the order of the cards can be very important. Now that you have introduced randomization it has severely impacted my ability to use the flashcards (which I just made hundreds of). Please allow users to turn randomization on or off based on their own preferences. Thank you!

  20. Hi goodnotes!
    I use the goodnotes app for notetaking and for digital planning and with digital planning it would be sooooo nice if you could add a feature to embade a link to another page. So let’s say I am planning my month and I want to refer to a page where I write all my important events. It would be so good for me and I am sure for others too if you could add that feature. It would be benefic for notetaking as well.

    Thanks for hearing me out,
    Adalia
