  1. Add template with alternating borders. First page big border left, second page big border on the right. I know there is a symmetric template with big borders, but need all space on die page. The problem comes up when I punch it and put it in a folder

  2. I will be typing on a page and all of the sudden it will move me 10 pages over or back. Makes it annoying in classes and taking notes.

  3. I usually screenshot parts of a pdf (i.e. questions) and then move them onto a new page (to solve).

    Right now I have to:
    - Select the region
    - Select "Take a Screenshot"
    - Wait for a pop up window to show up
    - Press the "Share Button"
    - Wait for another pop up window to show up
    - Press the "Copy" button
    - Wait for both pop up windows to close
    - Then hold the lasso tool and press "Paste"

    It would be great if I can just:
    - Select the region
    - Select "Take a Screenshot"
    - Then…

  4. Hopefully, this is something simple but basically bold the first half of a word as seen in the Bionic Reading example: https://bionic-reading.com

    This helps reading drastically.

  5. Hi,
    I have used goodnotes for a long time. I was just working on my Mac and goodnotes in not even open and I got a popup (not a notification!) asking if I was enjoying goodnotes. I believe this is a violation as I do not have notifications enabled for Goodnotes on my mac. How do I make sure this never happens again? I think it is absolutely unacceptable for any app-especially if it is not even being used-to randomly open a popup on my computer. Please address this important issue immediately as this is a professional computer that I…

  6. It would be really nice if you could make the outlines more interactive, to be able to do stuff with it. After all, this is our table of contents and I would like if it was possible to export it, print it and even have a toggle to show it within the document on the side (not on the page directly but by the side of the marked page) like Microsoft word’s proof reading correction comments.

    Furthermore, something that has been causing me a headache is once you mark a page and give it a title in the outline, if…

  7. When highlighting a word or sentence in an imported pdf, tap to enable a hidden note embedded within the highlight. The reason I say imported pdfs is because most files do not have space to take notes on the individual pages so embedding your note within the highlight provides space to take notes where the note applies while keeping the file looking clean.

    i.e. the definition of a word in the middle of a paragraph

  8. I’d love a feature that would allow you to easily select all highlighted (with the highlighter tool) material to copy and paste into another note. When studying, or when reading over documents or notes, I tend to be “old school” and highlight relevant material for further review or further studying. I would then love to be able to take all of my highlighted stuff and copy it into a condensed note for studying only what I’ve highlighted. Hopefully that made sense!

  9. I mostly use Goodnotes to annotate PDFs. But sometimes after making my annotations, I realize the the original PDF has a typo or requires some sort of alteration. In the current iteration of Goodnotes, I have to drag and drop the annotations from the old to new PDF. It would be amazing to be able to replace the underlying PDF with a few clicks. Please! 💔 So many people's workflows would improve drastically.

  13. As a medical student I have to go through lots of lectures and content daily. I have been using onenote as it allows for a fast importing of powerpoints when you convert the slides into PNG file types so i can make notes around them. Im struggling with goodnotes as although you can very quickly import these slides you cant make notes around the slides and you cannot import the slides onto the page of the notebook eg 2x slides per page without doing screenshots which takes a very long time for a lecture with over 100 slides in it.…

  17. As the University years go by, especially as a healthcare student with many lectures and modules, it would be incredibly beneficial to be able to have the search function within individual folders to avoid irrelevant information from different years and modules coming up when searching. This would greatly improve workflow. One thing I've noticed is that the more files you have the harder it is for the word/phrase search function to bring up all the results so being able to change/filter what folders to search would be good. It would also be good if this filter stayed until we changed…

  18. In the "More" (i.e. ...) section, we can see the current page number and it would be practical to have "Go To Page" just below. I also wish to suggest adding some space, perhaps a section title, and group together "Clear Page" and "Move Page to Trash". I very frequently use "Go To Page" and always have to be careful to be precise so I don't accidentally press "Clear Page".

  19. Would be nice to have an "insert line" option/feature like in Apple notes. It's frustrating not being able to go back and add additional notes to certain pages.
