  1. There are similar ideas to this but when handwriting in Goodnotes, since you have to zoom in quite a bit to have compact notes it would be very convenient if when you lift the Apple Pencil after getting to the edge of the screen, the page moves to have your handwriting in the centre so you don’t continuously having to switch between the pencil and your finger to scroll along

  2. Have an option for users to be able to choose whether files are all stored locally or by cloud storage as many people pay for cloud storage so it would be very useful to save local storage. For example, after only 150 pages in 2 weeks of use, I have used 1.4 GB of local storage which could be saved if these notebooks were stored on the cloud.

  3. Each laptop has different contents, so it causes inconvenience when trying to check each other's contents. So I hope laptops have a function that allows them to be easily switched between each other.

  4. I’m a high school teacher, and I rely on GoodNotes for all my classes. It’s been an essential part of my teaching. I’d like to request a feature that would make presentations and lectures even more effective.

    What I’d love to see is a “Presenter-Only Pen” feature.

    Here’s the idea:
    When preparing class materials in advance, I often want to write down talking points, hints, or solutions on the slides. However, I don’t want my students to see those notes during the presentation. It would be incredibly helpful if I could write notes that are only visible to me as…

  6. The default size of the picture added to the iPad has been enlarged. The original default length is exactly half of a page of paper. Now two iPad screenshots can't be stuffed in the x-axis direction of a page.

  8. I’m sure I’m not the only one that has had countless words erased by this feature. All a lot of us need is a way to disable it, the feature doesn’t even have to be removed completely. There is no position on the iPad where you can avoid it while writing.

  9. When you click on the four squares on the top left and zooms out all the pages. Being able to title each page would be great. As it would be easier to look for notes related to what im looking for. I have added an attachment as an example. I used an IPAD

  10. Es wäre schön wenn sie es für Tablet Nutzer ermöglichen, wie bei iPads mehrere Fenster öffnen zu können oder eine Autokorrektur für Tabletnutzer zu erstellen.
    Es muss fair bleiben und jeder sollte die gleiche Möglichkeiten haben goodnotes in der Schule zu verwenden

  12. I'm using the new beta version on my iPad and I need the writing option back– the option where you can write like in words. This feature is very useful for school and writing notes fast. It has do be added back in in the new beta version!

  13. Goodnotes is preventing my Android tablet (Xiaomi Mipad) from going to sleep mode. Is there a way to disconnect this feature?

  14. I have PowerPoints with hundreds of slides and it would be super helpful to be able to remove all the tape from every slide with one button when I'm done studying the PowerPoints.

  15. When I take note of a subject but the size of template I use isn’t perfect
    eg. the last section of the topic need to be on another page
    Which I usually add another page with custom template size (increase in size number is guesswork which make it harder to use) which I had to transfer old note onto new paper which I have to arrange it again

    So I suggest just when you take note have tool to drag paper down to increase size

  16. right now on android you can only export small files to pdf, I suggest goodnotes starts working on making exporting of bigger files to not only pdf but other formats as well, for example the goodnotes one.

  17. Kinda how Google works with having folders for tabs, but having folders for active notes. For example, when I'm doing homework, I will use 2-4 different notes, and they get mixed up between all of my classes.

  18. I was watching a makeup tutorial online where the artist used individual lashes to create a soft, natural look. The result was amazing, and it made me want to try the same. But she didn’t mention where she bought them from, so I’m left wondering. Can you guide me to a trusted store or brand that sells good individual eyelashes suitable for both beginners and regular wear

  19. I have seen many comments about the requests for layers, but none that mentioned exactly the things that I would like to see, so forgive me if this is a duplicate of pieces from a couple of individual ones that I may have missed the wording to:

    Noteful added the ability to create specific layers on top of a PDF, and this is fantastic. I can write my specific notes on top of scanned in meeting minutes, program notes, notes about anything my kids are doing, I just scan a picture of the meeting agenda into a pdf, load it,…

  20. I really like the app so far, but I also feel nostalgic about writing with a proper pen on proper paper. So I wondered, given the brilliant handwriting recognition of your app, wouldn’t it be possible to import handwritten text via OCR keeping the handwritten form without converting it. So I could eventually write with my stylus and eventually write on paper integrating the text seamlessly with the text written with stylus. Unfortunately there is no other application able to do this at the moment, but I think it would be something beneficial for everybody who likes the personal touch…
