  1. It should be possible with one click from anywhere in the document view to get back to currently open tabs. Currently the only way to do this is to open another notebook via one direction or another. Why not have an option to “close” the document view and bring up the open notebooks?

  2. I believe implementing a feature where the zoom window can be pinned to a specific position would be a significant enhancement. This would serve as a game-changer, allowing users to lock the zoom window to specific questions or images they wish to work on. This feature could greatly enhance user experience, especially in scenarios where space is limited, enabling more flexibility in annotating and addressing specific elements within the document. I hope you consider this valuable suggestion for future updates.

  5. 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.

  7. 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.…

  8. 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.

  10. 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!

  12. Hi,
    I would really appreciate the chance to use a SQUARE-TIP fountain pen like the one available on Apple apps (Freeform, Note,...) after the update to IPadOS 17.
    It would be a real game changer to me. Thanks

  14. 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…

  15. Need to be able to lock individual items. In planners sometimes the layout itself is a sticker. Need to lock that so I can move the stickers above without the bottom one moving.

  18. Recently accessed folders deserve to be put more noticeable. While sorting in alphabetical order and type do include folder, isn’t it great to get folders included? Especially if you work with folders a lot?

  19. 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.
