  2. I write with my right hand and select with my left; being able to move the selection bar to the Left would really improve my note taking efficiency.

  3. I would like to change paper models from GoodNotes Std to A4 in order to print an entire Document I wrote. (applying this mod to every page)
    At the moment you can only do it by switching models PAGE BY PAGE.
    Could you please implement this feature?

  4. If I'm looking at my notes on my laptop, I don't want to handwrite them; I want to type them. Goodnotes should have much better typing tools on the Mac app. We need better indentation, line spacing, hotkeys for italics, bold, underline, and bulleted/numbered lists.

  5. In the current Goodnotes application, it is only possible to draw lines or quadratic functions, which makes it hard to draw cubic function graphs or graphs with higher degrees. It would be much better if graphs with degrees over three (preferably cubic function graph and quartic function graph) also got automatically corrected when the user draws them.

  7. When lassoing a photo I can long press and drag to copy it and then drop it to paste, it would be amazing if you could do the same with handwriting instead of rewriting the whole thing

  8. Please add the outline option (like in the notebooks) in the flashcards too, so we can quickly access a specific section in a larger set.

  9. Whether through web, chrome web store, linux, or making the android app available to download on chromebooks (in that order of preference), can there please be at lease one option to get this on a chromebook? Thank you!

  10. I have spoken to many fellow students who all use GoodNotes and agree that an option to have highlights not overlap when continuing marks would be amazing. It is incredibly annoying when I want to continue highlighting after lifting my pen that when I go to highlight more I get a little discolored section because of the highlight marks overlapping. I think it would be an easy quality of life improvement for users of the app like me who like to take clean and beautiful notes.

  11. I create folders for each of my pupils all containing lesson plans/ handouts etc. I use a template folder then copy it for each pupil. I use comments a lot to set questions. I would like to be able to set these questions in the comments in the template file. However at the minute everything copies/pastes or duplicates from the template except comments. This means all comments have to be redone in each and every new file. I can use around 100 comments or more in each pupils file, so this can be very time taking. Please can you make…

  12. I want to request adding a "Select and Search" feature in GoodNotes. This feature would enable users to select a word or sentence within a PDF and click "Search" to initiate a search for that text throughout the document.

    This will be a huge time saver and more efficient, especially with study documents that have questions at the end; this will make it easy to look up and review the answers to those questions quickly. Otherwise, especially when I'm using my iPhone on the go, I'd waste time on repetitive unnecessary steps of clicking options, scrolling to find search, and…

  14. Hi,
    I would really appreciate the chance to use a SQUARE-TIP fountain pen like the one available on Apple apps (Freeform, Note,...) after the update to IPadOS 17.
    It would be a real game changer to me. Thanks

  15. Linking should be faster to use. It currently too slow to hold onto a link that is generated, it should be a simple click and take me there.

    Linking is to simple. Being able to create links only out of text box is a huge limitation that makes this feature not only clunky but super limited and not competitively viable compared to the FREE alternatives like Obsidian's Excalidraw.

    Links are page based, WHAT if i need to link somewhere specific in a page? They need to link back

    Links to somewhere should also link back. Like if i link to…

  17. Similar to the old school paper notebooks, I am having difficulty writing at the bottom of any page, as my hand is out of level from the notebook (iPad goodnotes) and I do not like leaving my pages half blank just because its a digital notebook.

    It will be very helpful to write with the same comfort level on the whole page if the bottom of the page can be pulled to the middle (at least while in Zoom) with non-writable blank space to put my palm on.

  19. I wish we could edit recordings!! Sometimes i forget to stop the recording in class and after a few hours i notice that it has been recording for a while, I think it would be pretty useful to enable a feature to at least trim the audios we record, thank you.
