  1. Add the flag for flagging pages back to the top left corner. I hate that I now have to click on the page organizer to add a flag or see which pages are flagged. It was especially helpful when the flag was located on the menu bar for when I am reading a document because it signals when to stop reading.

  2. One of my main uses for good notes is thinking. I like to draw or write ideas to get to conclusions quicker. The problem is that those pages doesn't have any use after I reached to the conclusion.

    I'd like to have a special Notebook for fleet notes that deletes pages that are inactive after certain amount of time. I truly enjoy writing in good notes more than any other writing app in iPad but I end up with big notebooks of useless information.

    With this auto-cleaned fleet notes notebook I would have always a go-to notebook that I can…

  3. I am left-handed and it is uncomfortable to begin writing at the edge of the page because the page edge is at the edge of the screen. The current workaround I have is inserting a pdf which allows this to some extent. I would like to be able to zoom out further so I can place the edge of the page in the middle of my iPad screen. This would allow my hand to rest on the flat surface of the iPad.

  4. When the page is magnified.If it is shown the percentage of the magnification done.As it is shown in Onenote.I think it could be of help to many while writing at a particular magnification for better fit and to make proper idea about the size of the pen to be used while writing at that particular page magnification.

  5. please add a feature to place the toolbar vertically on the Left/Right side of the screen. It's really useful as you don't have to move your hand way up or down to change tools or colours as well it allows larger space for writing.
    Similar features are available in notability and apple notebook 👇👇

  7. This would be a lasso feature similar to what already exists but upon selecting something, the selection is immediately copied and the next tap pastes at the tap location. This feature exists in the current lasso feature, but the suggested idea would save time.

  9. Much like Canva, have the ability to import SVG images to use as stickers with the option to change the sticker colors, like Canva does (it can change up to 5 colors).

  10. I write with my palm resting on the right side of my iPad, but when a line I've written reaches the right side, I am suddenly writing with my palm on the table. I'd like an option that supports moving the page off-center to the left and having it stay there, so I can continue writing without shifting my hand.

    For comparison to another drawing/writing app, Procreate canvases let you do this.

  12. Hello,

    I am a surface user and I am currently studying full time. I take physics and maths so the ability to write on my screen is essential when taking notes in lectures.

    Unfortunately there is a distinct lack of note taking software available to use. The most apt, Microsoft journal lacks simple functionality like a ruler function.

    A well designed software such as goodnotes would definitely fill that gap in the market.

    Would goodnotes ever be released to other platforms?

    Yours,
    A frustrated windows user

  14. I love GoodNotes and have been using it for several years. I also use GoodNotes for workshops and presentations. Therefore, I've got many large PDF's in the database.

    My problem is, that the GoodNotes database (synchronized with iCloud) already has more than 26 GB. This fills up both my iPad and my Mac.

    I'd love the functionality to be able to view and sort all files by size (without folders), check the largest files, and delete them in a bulk action. This would really help!

    I assume that other passionate GoodNotes users have the same problem.

    Thank you,

    Stefan

  15. Wenn man die Lernkarten auf dem Smartphone (in meinem Fall iPhone) durchgeht und mehre Zeilen auf der Karte stehen kann man diese nicht scrollen, zumindest nicht im vertikalen modus. Wenn man sein Handy kurz horizontal stellt geht es und dann auch im vertikalen Modus. Bei der nächsten Karte geht es dann wieder nicht und man muss es erneut drehen.
    Das ist sehr nervig beim lernen, es wäre schön wenn dieser Buck gefixt wird.

  16. It would be great so that in your notebook you could have the option to create a sub section so that when you import documents or have a subject within a notebook with a few pages on, it which can be scrolled through

  17. Mir gefällt an GoodNotes sehr, dass man das Cover des Notizbuches selbst gestalten kann.
    Für die Struktur arbeite ich jedoch lieber mit den Ordnern.
    Deshalb wünsche ich mir, dass man die Icons der Ordner ebenfalls selbst gestalten könnte oder zumindest in verschiedenen Farben wählen könnte.

    —————————

    What I really like about GoodNotes is that you can design the cover of the notebook yourself.
    However, I prefer to work with the folders for the structure.
    That's why I wish that you could also design the folder icons yourself or at least choose different colors
