  1. The black paper on GoodNotes is "black" but it's not PITCH BLACK. I find that my notes pop out and look better with a pitch black paper, I'm so sad the GoodNotes "black" version is more of a dark gray.
    I love the variety of colors offered by GoodNotes but I keep going back to Notability because their paper is darker and I'm able to actually use the highlighters (and have them pop) .
    Please please provide true black paper that's compatible with highlighters! The highlighters do show, but they are not bright and get lost in the grayness of…

  2. It would be great, if an imported PDF formular would still be editable. Not just with annotations but with typed text in the recommended type-in boxes

  3. Even darker dark mode for M1 iPad with XDR Display for deep black look. Would look stunning.

  4. I'm a teacher and I use Goodnotes for marking many assessments seeing as we are largely remote nowadays, it would be nice to change the number of pages we see in each row (even if that means making the icons smaller). For example, in a test that was four pages long, I can bookmark the start of each new student's test and it lines up nicely, but if I am marking anything other than a four page test, it doesn't - if possible, it would be great to pick and choose how many pages are seen per row (like a…

  5. As a student I have it iced myself flagging slides/pages for many reasons. It would be nice to have the ability to change the color of the flags. For example, so I can quickly see what items I need to review and what items I have favorited for reference.

  6. Adjust the minimum magnification limit of zoom. The current situation is that many pages can be magnified at a high magnification, but they cannot zoom very little. Almost only one page of content can be displayed on the screen. It is very inconvenient when turning pages. I hope it can continue to zoom out so that multiple pages can be displayed vertically on the same screen, as shown in the figure below.

  9. I’m amazed that people have been suggesting direct access to Dropbox for YEARS now and nothing has come of it. Having to import documents from Dropbox into GoodNotes file management system is ridiculous and tedious; let me open the file directly from Dropbox and save it directly TO Dropbox rather than having to import and export!

  10. I often teach from PDFs that I want to slowly reveal small portions thereof as I lecture. The new "elements" feature whereby you can insert an image (like a blank sticky note) and set it on top of text/information/answer is a step in the right direction. If I could tap on the element and it would become invisible (but not erased), that would allow me to slowly reveal what I am presenting in lecture as I lecture. In addition, when I close that PDF after lecturing, all elements would be reset to visible.

    I think the ability to tap on…

  12. If you export a single document as PDF and set the setting to "Editable", the outline is preserved. The PDF's which are created by the automatic backup (Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive) do not contain the outline, because they are saved as "Flattened". Please add an option to automatically save the documents as "Editable-PDF" in the cloud.
    Alternatively, an option for a one-time backup of the whole library in GoodNotes to "Editable-PDF" would be a great option. At the moment the option "Backup Data" can only be used to create a backup in the Good-Notes file system.

  18. When the writing is too small or the pen thickness not thick enough, one can change the size of the writing separately of its thickness. Now it is only possible to select the whole area to make the ratio bigger or smaller, i.e. the whole word becomes bigger and thicker at the same time. It would be nice to be able to change size and thickness individually, e.g. bigger and same thickness or same size but thicker lines.

  20. Es wäre gut wenn man beim Stift eine gestrichelte Linie aus wählen könnte.

    Geht ja schon beim Lasso Werkzeug das entsprechend mit bleibenden Linien und allen Fähigkeiten des Stiftes.
