  1. As a left-handed person, the exit button of the tab is always on the left. Sometimes the tab closes mistakenly because of the touch. It sounds unavoidable for left-handed users like me.

  3. There should be a section goodnotes that is accessible only after entering an access code similar to locked notes on iOS. This will allow users to save sensitive notes in a separate section.

  5. Currently, I have to use several different apps to take my notes and go through the annoying process of sharing back and forth via Google Drive or some other convoluted method.

    Please include PC compatibility for note-taking (not just viewing) and a cloud sync to avoid issues with transferring notes back and forth. See sites such as Canva that already do this. Honestly, sometimes I just use Canva for taking notes since at least I can control text formatting, grouping and locking, and cloud sync.

  6. If you have a selection it would be nice to be able to just double tap the selection on the screen to copy it. Then if you double tap the screen outside the selection it will paste. Would make the process quicker and less tedious when copying a lot.

    Just to make it clear, I'm not saying double tap the pencil, I am saying double tapping the screen with the pencil.

  7. When exporting handwritten notes or handwritten assignments, it would be very helpful to be able to add margins after the fact so that it can be printed and/or graded. I often write to the very edge of the screen and this neither looks good nor is practical if I want to print and put in a binder. This is a feature Notability has and one of the only things I like better about that app.

  8. I would appreciate to have a Notebook-Counter in order to see, how many notebooks I have (in a specific folder or subfolder) and to identify/detect empty or overfilled folders or subfolders.

    After the name/title of each folder or subfolder should be in parentheses the number of (sub)folders and the number of notebooks they contain. (See figure.)

  9. Create a way for a written note to become an Asana task. This feature would improve our efficiency greatly.

  13. It would be practical to be able to select which files you would like to upload to iCloud, as, if you don‘t have enough storage for every single file, you can‘t even share a single file with anyone, which is quite annoying.

  14. In previous version my battery was draining and fetching heating issue while using GoodNotes. Then I got updated version telling that it will be resolved. But for me it hasn’t been resolved yet.

  15. Add Restore Page to the top right (...) menu (rather than requiring that we go back to the trash bin to restore (to make it quicker and easier to restore if the wrong page is deleted inadvertently).

  16. ONE NOTE has a glitter pen option and adding this to good notes would make the notetaking app the best one out there!! I added an image example, seriously consider this so I can only use good notes and not have to bounce between apps all the time.

  17. Please increase max. Pen thickness to 5mm or 10mm. Right now it is only 2mm, which makes blackening (redacting) text very cumbersome and looks messy.

  18. I use GoodNotes for my planning and now create my planner in keynotes first so I can link the tabs to the right page. I’ve seen more people suggesting this feature comes in GoodNotes itself too so you don’t need keynotes anymore.

    I want to add something to that suggestion: I would also like to link objects or text boxes so what you write on one place will be mirrored to another place.

    For example; I have a monthly overview but also days and weeks. I have in every day page a square in the same size as in the…
