  1. Ich würde mir wünschen, die Funktion des Masking-Tapes auch im Pointer-Modus öffnen und schließen zu können. Bei Unterrichtseinheiten oder Präsentationen möchte ich gerne das Masking-Tape verwenden und gleichzeitig mit dem Pointer auf Inhalte hinweisen. Derzeit ist es notwendig, vom Pointer-Modus in den Stiftmodus zu wechseln, um das Masking-Tape zu benutzen, was umständlich ist. Ich wäre sehr dankbar, wenn Sie diese Verbesserung in Betracht ziehen könnten.

  2. Lors de l’utilisation du mode pointeur, je souhaiterais pouvoir ouvrir et fermer la fonction masking tape. J’aimerais utiliser le masking tape tout en faisant des présentations ou des cours avec le pointeur. Actuellement, il est nécessaire de changer du mode pointeur au mode stylo pour utiliser le masking tape, ce qui rend l’opération fastidieuse. Je vous serais reconnaissant(e) d’envisager cette amélioration.

  3. Wouldn't it make more sense if the undo button was on the top right instead of the left? As a right-handed person, clicking on the undo button covers the whole screen and you can't see exactly what has already been removed. Its just annoying (goodnotes 6)

  4. Instead of having a limited number of colors on the color pallet and having to scroll to see all the colors.
    Have an option to only show top 5 colors with a drop down arrow beside it to see all other colors in our color pallet. That way, we can still see and have easy/ fast access to our stroke settings , as well as our pens colors instead of having to scroll back and forth.
    Just like how the hidden tools arrow is. A drop down like that for the color pallet

  6. One thing I would love to see, since text documents are now way better than before, is a better support for academic papers. It at least looks like it doesn't support a table of contents, sources and a few more. Microsoft Office is now no longer free here in Germany for new and old students due to the government's decision to no longer use Office and I believe this is now I big opportunity to help us. I guess this is also pretty cool for every other students ww to have everything in one place.

  8. Can you add a page continuity feature in your notes? Sometimes it can be very inconvenient to use your single page design. I hope you can add a page continuity feature in your page management, whether it's taking notes or viewing PDF files

  9. Currently, it’s not possible to write on both the question and answer sheets at the same time when the tablet is in vertical mode. This means I have to switch between them, by clicking the “Edit” button, which makes it hard to see and edit both simultaneously. If we could keep both sheets open and editable at the same time, it would be much easier to compare and modify them quickly.

  11. DENTISTS ARE DOCTORS TOO :( I love all the notebooks, flashcards, mind maps, etc. for all other health professions, but I'm in dental school and have been constantly checking to see if anything dental-related gets added and it never does. I'd love to have some stickers, notebooks, flashcards, mind maps, treatment planning templates or ANYTHING for dentists. So many of my classmates use Goodnotes too so I know these things would be popular. Please consider adding! :)

  12. I play guitar and I want an autoplay feature for the flashcards. You see the term, I play the chord, and then it flips so I can see if the hand placement is correct. The flashcards already shuffle so I can practice the chords at random but this way I can practice hands free. It would also help those who want to hear phrases in the background for language learning if there was an audio function.

  13. I’d like to suggest a feature that would greatly improve the experience for users with an SPen:

    Could you please add an option to customize the SPen button action?

    For example, instead of always switching to the eraser tool, it would be very useful if we could assign the button to perform an Undo action.

    This would speed up the workflow and match how some other apps handle the SPen button.

    I believe many Samsung tablet users would appreciate this added flexibility.

    Thank you for considering this request and for your great work on

  15. Hi there!
    I’m a long-time GoodNotes user and I’d love to suggest a feature: the ability to embed PDFs or documents as tappable miniatures inside an existing page, not as new notebooks.

    This feature already exists in Apple’s Freeform app, and it’s incredibly useful for organizing study materials or combining notes with reference files.

    I believe many users would appreciate this option. Thanks for considering!

  17. When writing near the edges of the page (especially the bottom or side), it becomes uncomfortable because the palm starts sliding off the iPad. This makes writing less natural and more difficult. It would be very helpful to have the ability to slightly shift or reposition the visible
    page area, so I can keep my hand comfortably on the screen while writing near the page margins.
    Avoid hand sliding off iPad

  19. It would be amazing to have vector based lines that are elastic, that could be editable and moved around after sketching the initial path. For the ends and mid points of the lines should allow user to pick arrow heads, circles, squares, etc. As an end type option the ability to connect to an object or photo, so if you move that object the line stretches to the new location yet the line remains edible.

    The line corners should have adjustable arcs or curves that could be tweaked.

    I use this app to draw diagrams of audio visual setups, so…

  20. 1)Currently , when we review flashcards , we cannot zoom in/out . So this makes it difficult sometimes to view photos/ handwritten text because it appears very small.
    2) Instead of showing the answer by flipping the flashcard , make the answer appear on the same page so that we can see the question and the answer at the same time .
    3) If we want to add long answers to the flashcard , the space seems a bit less . so allow us to add multiple pages in a single flashcard .
