  1. I have an older mac which runs on Catalina thus I cannot install the goodnote app on my imac. I would love to atleast have the iOS library sync to the web version so I can use it on universal device without needing to create a link for ease of use.

  3. I have been a Goodnotes user for over 5 years, and it is currently my primary note-taking app for my studies in medical school. I have recently noticed a small redundancy that I believe can make the user experience a lot smoother if a slight improvement is made. When accessing the outlines within a notebook composed of imported PDFs, there are both custom outlines and auto-imported PDF outlines. As is the case with many students, the PDF outlines are often cluttered and sometimes irrelevant, so custom outlines are instead used to divide the various subsections (eg. lectures) within a notebook.…

  4. Because there is no way to contact your company, I am putting my issue here.
    The newest version has an issue on my iPad that while handwriting with the apple pencil, portions of my writing erases without me changing pencil types. If I use the redo button, it will back up to what I just wrote. I have all the latest updates of the app and iPad installed.

  6. I like the dot grid because it’s more subtle than the squared grid, but unfortunately the dot grid is huge now and it sucks! I’d like to submit an idea to have the dot spacings be adjustable. This would be nice to have for the graphed and lined paper as well!

  8. Hello, good note developers.
    I'm a good note user of Windows.
    I'm currently using Surface Pro, and I'm using the third generation of Surface Pen. Currently, the Good Note for Windows supports the noose function with a side button. Please make it possible to customize the function of the side button. Side buttons can be customized with various functions such as changing an eraser, changing a pen type, and changing color, not a snare. I really like the ability to use the eraser on the back. If I can customize the side buttons I want, it will be a more…

  10. App setting to choose to default the spell check for handwriting to off or on. Then inside a document, the ability to set it to off or on.
    I want to be able to default the spell check to “off” for all documents. Then inside a document if I want to turn it on for that document, allow me to turn it on.

  16. Please add an option to open documents with “page width view” (just like what we have in Microsoft Word) to zoom the page so that the width of the page match the width of the screen (fit to page width).

    I use my iPad in landscape mode and whenever I open a document in Goodnotes, I have to double tap it to view the document in page width view. There should be an option to make this default. Notability opens documents in page width view without doing anything.

  17. Infinte Page / Extra Space for notes when editing a PDF

    I'd LOVE to see this! Like, I use the vertical orientation when I take notes / edit a PDF and I think what would really elevate the App would be if there was the option to not only add pages below my last one but sidewise to every other page es well.

    Like right now you can do this:

    Page
    Page
    Page
    Page
    (swipe to add new page)

    And I really need the feature to add like "note pages" next to ever page like

  18. When you are in the classroom sometimes you take a picture of a projected slide from the side, so the picture is in “diagonal” or angled. There are apps that allow to adjust for the tilted angle to return the picture so it looks like it’s facing forward. It’s better, and more readable. It also takes less room from you note since you don’t have excess corners

    The request idea is to be able to adjust the corners so the picture adjusts the angle and it looks facing forward

  20. There are a few key items missing for digital planner users.
    1. Please allow digital planner users to click on hyperlinks in every mode - not just in read mode. Planners are hyperlinked so that we can get to pages quickly. Pressing and holding to open link is not efficient
    2.Now that we have move to front/back can we please get lock in place
    3. Copy and paste in exact same place on another page
    4. Customizable tool bar, more pen options, and more than one text favorite
    5. Get rid of drop down toolbar which decreases the planner space.…
