  1. Hi,

    I use GoodNotes to complete two pages of tasks I have to grade during instruction. It would be great to have a virtual fold function so the labels were next to the grade column I'm working on.

    Thanks!
    Have a great day!

  2. We need a kind of way to sync it cross-platform without needing to use iCloud... I'd love to have my files on my PC and access on my Ipad or phone without having to ALWAYS export it. I don't use iCloud... and I can't even share it using a local sharing or a sharing using any other cloud service as the base for it.

  3. In academia we usually have to read a lot and with that comes a necessity to organize and keep track of citations, I know that there are aps for that but I like the idea of using goodnotes highlight when reading, as it keeps the document clearer

  4. It would be nice to be able to store files (notebooks yes, but also elements!) either in iCloud, some other cloud, or in a GoodNotes cloud system, and have them accessible and editable on device.

    I have very limited space on my iPad, but i have several notebooks, and I have TONS of stickers that I would love to add to my elements. The problem is that I do not have the space for it on my iPad at all... However I do have space in cloud storage. Now I have to use iCloud and add png files to Goodnotes…

  5. While editing in Study Sets, there should be an option for the toolbar placement, instead of being locked in to the toolbar being placed on the top.

  6. Situation:
    As a frequent user of GoodNotes, my primary activity involves editing PDF files. I import numerous documents into the app to annotate and review them using my Apple Pencil. These edits include highlighting key information and jotting down spontaneous thoughts. Once edited, I export these PDFs to store them in my personal file system, including iCloud, for access through various other tools like Obsidian or Adobe Acrobat Pro.

    Improvement:
    I propose an enhancement where GoodNotes can directly link to specific folders on iCloud or local storage on a MacBook. Instead of importing PDFs into GoodNotes' internal storage, this feature…

  11. When using the resize tool to resize images, stickers, text, handwriting etc… the resize tool anchors from the centre so when you pull it down at the bottom it will also shoot up at the top. This makes it hard to get it to the exact size you want as you can’t predict exactly half of how much bigger you want it if that makes sense. Basically just have options on all four sides to pull out or push in the image etc…

  13. When typing in a double column, only the left column is used and the right column cannot be typed. Please improve the left column typing so that the right column typing can also be connected naturally.

  14. In the current version, when importing images into Study Sets, the photos taken are directly reflected on the cards, and the image ratio is fixed at 1:1.
    In order to create cards that are effective for study, we need to be able to beautifully turn a photo taken into a card and also be able to import images in the ratio of our choice (sometimes even the answers to questions are imported onto the surface!) .
    Therefore, (1) the captured image should be corrected as if it were a scanned document, and (2) the user should be able to freely…

  15. Line should be separated as a different line after we cut a line.
    After we erased the center of line, it looks like a different line. But it move sync when we select and move a line. It's very troublesome when I want to edit a simple picture, because I have to delate all of the connected line only when I want edit part of the line.

  16. Dear Developers and Desginers,

    I would love to be able to insert text in between lines already drawn. Otherwise I have to manually move text and try to insert the rest, IF there is space on the page.

    I understand that enabling this feature might mess up pages. Well, I would suggest to try to use AI to solve this problem.

    Or you might enable the feature while warning the user that the pages might get messed up. To do this you have to treat different pages as if they were one infinite page, I know... So, I suggest that…

  17. The usage of battery and cpu is high, it is essential to change this, because this high usage of battery and cpu makes devices like the IPad unable to work with Goodnotes, please improve this.

  18. Acho que a organização dos adesivos deveria ser mais fácil, e em uma janela melhor de visualizar o que estamos fazendo. Pois quem tem muitos adesivos demora horas pra organizar e da muito erro no processo.

    Xxx

    I think organizing the stickers should be easier, and in a better window to visualize what we are doing. Because those who have a lot of stickers take hours to organize and cause a lot of mistakes in the process.
