  1. I would appreciate if I could use the built-in timer without having it taking space of my paper. But if I do so, I don't get reminded when the timer stops... So please add a setting, where I can turn on a alert sound. Keep up the good work!

  2. With "Auto backup", it is possible to sync my documents as pdfs to my Google drive, which is really useful.
    But this also drains battery.
    I would like an option so that I can decide when to push my documents to Google Drive, instead of app doing it whenever it wants while I'm using it.

    Currently, I just disable auto backup and turn it back on every week, but this means it re-uploaded my entire library, which can take upwards of 40 minutes.

  4. I would like to write two notes at the same time. I will split the screen so that I can look at the notes and write another note.For example, I want to look at one notepad and start writing other notes in another notebook, but without splitting the screen it’s very difficult.

  5. I am currently using the GoodNotes 7 beta version, and I noticed that when working on text documents, there is no option to zoom in or out of the page. This makes it inconvenient to adjust the view depending on the amount of content or personal preference. It would be very helpful if a zoom in/out feature could be added for text documents.

  6. When resizing images in GoodNotes, the image always scales from the center. This makes it very difficult to align multiple imported images like sheet music pages. Please allow resizing from just one side or corner (e.g., like in Keynote or Pages).

    This would make GoodNotes much more usable for music editors, designers, and people who work with imported documents. Thank you!

  9. It would be nice to be able to adjust the sensitivity of scribble to erase. Sometimes, when trying to erase large blocks of writing, if you don't scribble thoroughly enough Goodnotes won't recognize that you're trying to erase and you have to do it again. Maybe there could be a feature for us to determine how sensitive we want it to pick up on scribble-to-erase, for users who use it really often to erase?

  11. Also, wenn man so ne neue Seite hinzufügen will, muss man immer das Format einstellen, das man haben will, wenn die Seite vorher nen anderes Format hatte. Also die Idee ist dann, dass man sich nen Format oder mehrere abspeichern kann und die dann auswählen kann, wenn man ne neue Seite hinzufügt. Liebe Grüße 😘

  12. When I search for a word in my Preview app, it shows every occurrence in the document. However, in GoodNotes, the same word is sometimes missed, even though the file is an OCR-enabled PDF. It would be great if the search feature in GoodNotes could be improved to match the accuracy and reliability of other apps.

  14. The app is nice, but worst of all, there's no visible backup option, as confirmed by other users. I hope they fix the issue of not being able to back up or control it soon, otherwise I'll have to change the app. I'm using it on a Samsung TAB S9. It also lacks Polish language support. I'll change my rating if they add the backup option.

  16. For each of my classes I like making a 'Lecture' and 'Practice' notebooks, however when I have multiple open I can't tell which lecture Notebook is for which class without clicking on them.

    In order to remedy this I think it would be a good idea for GoodNotes to display the folder name the notebook is in when there's multiple notebooks with the same name opened.

    For example:

    Instead of:

    Lecture | Lecture | Practice

    It would say:

    Lecture - /STA256 | Lecture - /MAT232 | Practice

  17. It would be great if Apples new MathNotes feature from iPadOS 18 would be integrated in GoodNotes. It is such a useful feature.

  20. Instead of having a separate color pallet for pens/ highlights/ text, have the option to use colors from one pallet on another tool. Ex: using pen color presets for text or highlighters. I often use the same color in different tools for my notes but in doing so I have to create the same color pallet for each tool.
