  1. There should be some middle ground for the answer. I mean currently there are only 2 options, “i know” “i dont know” it will be great if you add two more like “i knew it partially “ and “i knew it but took effort to get there”. And one more suggestion if it contains nested subfolders. It will be great.

  2. It would be great if there is a way to display the hexadecimal color codes right under the color in the color menu. Maybe with a button in the menu itself.

  3. Please make a chromeOS version and/or and android compatible, since ChromeOS can emulate android app through Googel Play Store.

  4. For people who create PDF digital planners for GoodNotes, it would be great if we could protect them from illegal distribution. I'd love to see GoodNotes develop it's own app store for these, so that the only way to get them is to buy and download them through the store. I think this would motivate more digital planner creation.

  5. Display or show the paper size of each template. For example A4 210 by 297 mm. This will allow us to know which template is bigger or smaller by looking at numbers instead of just guessing. Allow us to edit that size and also include a print preview

  6. As a digital journaller/planner, I want to be able to insert photos and then crop them into a perfect shape eg square, circle etc. I haven’t found a way to do this in Goodnotes.

  7. At the moment, it is a two step process to return to the normal eraser after using the highlighter only erase.

    It would be much more simple if the pop-up message had the option to disable the highlighter only erase, rather than the current pop-up where there is only the options to go to the settings or ignore.

  8. I'd like to see GoodNotes available on older versions of Windows like Windows7. There are many homeschoolers who do not have the latest devises, etc. You would be able to reach more individuals. Regardless GoodNotes is a fantastic app, keep up the good work.

  9. I like to color code my notes. It would be so helpful to have the option to set a different color palette for every notebook without it affecting the rest, rather than having to rearrange my palette every time i want to take notes for another subject

  10. A very useful feature would be the addition of a scissors/cutout tool which can be used to manually cut out a PNG shape from an uploaded image.

  11. When inserting a photo, most of the time I just want it to span from left to right while keeping it’s aspect ratio / proportions. Currently, scaling a photo is scaling it from it’s center. This results in the necessity for several resizes and drags to match the page border left and right.

    I suggest an option to just hit a button in the context menu to scale the picture to a size where it‘s borders automatically align with the page borders!

    An alternative would be to add the option to scale a picture from it‘s corner, rather than it‘s…

  12. 1) while copying and pasting text from one document to other opened in same window ,in addition to providing dedicated copy paste option , add a drag and drop feature
    2) if we have to copy and paste multiple times then everytime it switches tool to text styling and it disturbs the work flow and affects productivity ....it would be better if tool selection in every tab can be fixed , so we dont have to swicth tool from text styling to any other for copying again

  13. I need the ability to change the “creation date” of a note.

    This, along with the ability to sort by creation date would allow a reasonable sort of my notes as I sometimes need to write notes referring to previous day.

    Without this, as manual sorting is not an option and wouldn’t make real sense for many people I guess, GoodNotes becomes unusable as it quickly turns into a mess.

  16. Hello Goodnotes team, apple introduced the interactive widgets with ios 17. I think it is fantastic, if you add the vocabulary function to the interactive widgets. apple showed it with the example of quizlett in the WWDC. If you add this you can learn easy your vocabularys on your Home screen by swiping between the apps.

  17. Goodnote provide 'delete page' now (green box in attached picture).
    It removes all note on the current page.

    I want expanded function.
    1. delete broader range - like delete whole document removal
    2. delete mode - choose between pen or highlighter

  18. How about making 'non remain pen'?
    Sometimes I solve problems by Goodnote.
    I solve the same problem over and over again for practice.
    I only mark the score, so I want to remove my solution.

    A pen that doesn't remain on the document will help.
    Like 'closing the file without save' pen

  19. 삼성노트에서 필기한 파일을 굿노트에 불러오고, 불러온 파일을 편집가능하게 해 주세요.
    Please make sure import files from Samsung Notes, and make it possible to edit the file.

  20. Someone who's learning Japanese may face the same problem as me. Every time I need to write/insert the Furigana (pronunciation of Kanji) manually for the Kanji that I don't know how to read. It would be great if there's a button to do that automatically like MS Word and ios Pages.
