  2. I wish we had the ability to change the order of images, like in Microsoft Word. Instead of having to paste images in a certain order for the correct one to be on top, I wish we could click the image and either send it forward or backward.

  3. Die Datenschutzerklärung und Nutzungsbestimmungen auf Deutsch einsehen zu können wäre wirklich hilfreich. Ich kann zwar Englisch, aber es gibt die App auf deutsch und ich fände es halt angenehmer.
    Es hält mich zwar auch nicht ab, mich zu informieren, aber es wäre halt angenehmer für mich.

  4. you already know this but seem to ignore the community, can’t react to the community or both. TEXT, TEXT, TEXT. FIX IT. you know what it needs. It’s well documented by the community.
    Start with spacing and usability of the text box. On an iPad. With an Apple Pencil. The primary use case scenario.

  5. A feature that enables creation of single-document documents. That means documents that do not allow to switch to other documents in goodnotes.

    This feature would enable to use goodnotes for writing exams. Currently this is not possible, since student can easily browse their other goodnotes for cheating.

    While it is possible to lock in students in the goodnotes app using Classroom, it is not possible to lock them in a specific document, e.g. the exam.

  7. I always use goodnotes in math class. If I use a ruler as an image and then want to rotate it, the scale changes. this is very bad for a ruler. it would be a very good improvement of goodnotes if i could fix graphics so that the scaling no longer changes when you rotate them.

  8. I see a few requests for larger buttons in specific use cases. I’d like to see larger tap targets overall, wherever possible. The aim would be to make less mistakes, reduce the concentration required to perform an action, and help people with less steady hands or thicker fingers. I was thinking that across the top, there is plenty of room to create more space between the icons. Maybe it gets tight on smaller iPads. Maybe not. But either way perhaps the spacing could be a little more dynamic, or larger for larger iPads. Not exactly a feature but something to…

  9. I only use Ipad - which I hate - for GoodNotes. I would gladly pay $30 for a Windows version to use on a Microsoft Surface. Please make a Windows version and free us from Apple.

  13. We use goodnotes in school and its hard to like read a text and do notes at the same time, because you have to switch pages every 2 seconds. Thats why i would be nice to have, this zoom-handwriting thing to work at the another page, while you reading at a page.

  14. GoodNotes should implement a feature to filter out only pages with annotation, side by side with the outlines menu.
    This would be much more convenient when reviewing large documents and e-textbooks.

  15. Dear GoodNotes team, please improve the formatting of written text so that it is placed correctly on a page (e.g. like in Notion or Microsoft Word). I crave for such an improvement, as it would be the solution to the only problem I have with GoodNotes!
    Thank you!

  17. I write text, but want to delete it so use the eraser function. When I remove my apple pencil off the page, it goes back to write function (pen) automatically. Great feature

    I write text. I now highlight the text using the highlighter function on GoodNotes. But it stays on the highlighter function so I have to click back to the pen function to continue writing.

    Why can the highlighter function work like the eraser function in reverting back to pen mode automatically

  19. I love good notes, but, unfortunately, the tool bar enables us to only use three colours which makes the process of changing colours quite tedious. I also think the toolbar takes up a lot of paper space, especially if you use more than one tab. It would be fantastic if you guys implement these changes.

    Below I have attached my designs:
