  1. Wäre super, wenn man die Seitenränder individuell einstellen könnte, damit es auch mit den Vorgaben von Universitäten übereinstimmt. (Z.b. für Abgaben)

  2. I often teach math using goodnotes. It would be great, if I could turn on the visibility of the ruler. So my students could see, where I put the ruler and how I meassure.

  3. It would be helpful to group open notes like they're tabs.

    This would be helpful as I could still have my frequently visited notes open on the Goodnotes app, but they wouldn't be taking up a lot of space at the top of the app (and I wouldn't have to reopen the same note multiple times a day). I would be able to find and organize my notes easier and it would look nicer.

    I have attached screenshots of what this tab grouping looks like on Chrome as an example of what it could look like on Goodnotes.

  4. When you are writing to convert to text it will not match what I capitalize. Only the leading letter of the sentence or phrase.

  5. While I love the current organization options, I think it would be amazing if we could be able to move folders/notebooks around ourselves (or manually). Like a manual option as well.

  6. As an secure organisation, we only allow Apple Volume purchase program (VPP) apps as per https://www.apple.com/au/business-docs/VPP_Business_Guide_EN_Oc16_ANZ.pdf.

    Since the public app store is not allowed in our managed iOS / iPAD OS devices, can you provide a feature such as sign in for the paid subscription to the VPP apps version of Good Notes.

  7. ● add a color picker tool, how hard is that?
    ● add more than three colors to your paper templates (pink, blue, green, purple,...etc) THAT DON'T REQUIRE MORE MONEY of course. Add them like it is a default. Not only (dark grey, yellow and white) it would be perfect if we can make the color chosing the color wheel.

    ● add rulers and a protractor 📏 📐
    ●add a way of being able to change the entire app appearance (like the color of the bar and the background, and the shape of the folder, like we can make the folder…

  8. Please add a setting, so that the squeezing of the apple pencil pro switches to erase and as soon as one stops squeezing the mode gets back to the previous one. I use this a lot in the Notability-app and I got used to it so quickly, that I always squeeze the pencil, when I want to erase something...

  9. I wish for a feature that creates hyperlinks from headlines from imported files (pdf, image ...) and connects them to similar headlines that are hand written in the following.
    Here is the scenario where I imagine this function:
    When I get an excercise sheet at university, I import the pdf file to Goodnotes and start to solve the exercises in the following (handwritten). Because most exercises start with "Exercise 1" or something like that and I start my answers with the same headline. For easier navigation it would be helpful if Goodnotes recognizes these same headlines and creates a hyperlink…

  10. I wish for an interactive page numbering tool, that let's you place a field for autogenerated page numbers in your document or just a section of it.

    Here is my idea (translated by google):
    I love taking notes at university with Goodnotes. However, I find it cumbersome to add page numbers by hand to large documents. I use my own template for Goodnotes, which has a free field for page numbers at the bottom. I would like a function in Goodnotes that allows me to automatically generate page numbers and place them where I want.
    My idea includes a kind…

  11. It would be really helpful if it was possible to stack pages, meaning that when scrolling through the notebook only the first page of that stack (for example a PDF or PowerPoint) would be visible and you would have to swipe left/right to see the rest. This way it would be easier to keep an overview and find notes more quickly without having to scroll to through dozens of pages, especially when you insert lots of multi-page documents/powerpoints.

  12. I currently study chemistry at university and use GoodNotes for all of my note-taking, as well as the flash cards feature for general revision. It would be incredibly useful to be able to use rich text formatting so I can accurately enter chemical equations and chemical formulae, rather than having to come up with new forms of notation that I have to remember when revising.

  13. It would be great if you could do different things with different types of clicks and pressure with the Apple Pencil.

    In addition to a better distinction between the pencil and the finger, that if you touch a link with the finger it opens and with the pencil it does not do anything or it can be edited (it depends)

    Other useful things could be done with one, two or a hold click of the pencil and finger.

    For example, if you click (with Apple Pencil or finger) on the pen thicknesses, it will quickly change between the predefined thicknesses…

  14. Writing becomes so much better and enjoyable when having motion smoothing like for example Noteful has, would greatly appreciate if this was added

  15. Marker that hide the text or blur the text which by tapping on it. The text becomes visible and tap again it hides the text.

  16. Instead of searching indexed text, I want to be able to search with a handwritten phrase/drawing. The result would be whatever looks most similar in my handwriting. This would be a game changing feature.

  17. When I'm making several shapes or using images and want to be able to auto align them by either aligning of the top, bottom, middle, etc. Also the ability to space them evenly would be amazing.
    The ability to link/group these shapes/images together

  20. As of today we have Audio Recordings in GoodNotes - thank you!

    You can simply forget to switch off recording, ending up with a long audio recording between lectures or meetings - it would be nice to have a functionality to split an individual audio recording in 2. Therefore it will be possible to delete needless ones.

    Custom naming of audio recordings will make it easier to navigate between them.

    Exporting audio recordings within a single notebook in bulk and individually as .mp3 file would be very convenient as well.
