  1. You have the bookmarks, but including a priority star at the top as a reminder to revisit the document as a whole would be helpful for those in school

  4. It would be amazing to be able to add a grid overlay to documents. I primarily use GoodNotes to annotate note slide pdfs with blank backgrounds and i find it would be much easier to have neat and straight printing if this feature was offered.

  5. I am using GoodNotes for work. I have multiple notebooks covering different topics, and sometimes certain points would be relevant in multiple notebooks.

    Was thinking that an ability to ‘twin’ a page to another notebook would be helpful. Not just a link, but twinning. For illustration,

    Notebook A has pages A1, A2, A3.
    Notebook B has pages B1, B2, B3.

    Now, I can twin page A2 into Notebook B, so its pages become
    B1, B2, A2, B3. Notebook A remain as A1,A2,A3

    After twinning, Whatever changes made in NotebookB, page A2 will be reflected in Notebook A and vice versa.

  7. Every time, I search in one file, It begins from the first page to search.
    But sometimes, I just want to search from this chapter.
    Better search from the page where I was.

  8. As a left-handed person, the exit button of the tab is always on the left. Sometimes the tab closes mistakenly because of the touch. It sounds unavoidable for left-handed users like me.

  10. It would be nice to rename existing files. I noticed that recently you are able to rename files when uploading. Please also give the option to rename after uploading.

  11. One thing that would be great is a way that the page can be locked into place when zoomed in and using vertical scroll.

    When I take notes, I use an A4 page and double click to zoom it in and write. But one thing that annoys me so much is sometimes my hand or arm will touch the page and then the page will be shifted to the left or right.

    I propose a small lock button that allows you to lock a page in place, from moving left or right, but still keeps the vertical scroll.

  12. I can’t draw a straight line and I use goodnotes mostly for studying and I have to use highlighter a lot and I find it uncomfortable to undo over and over again to undo not-straight line highlight (or even curve line). If I want it to be freestyle I’d set it to freestyle right? So, PLEASE make the option be as it should.

  13. Goodnotes has available in its pop-up store: "Hexagonal Grid: Draft Papers" which features a hexagonal grid. However, because line snapping only works at 45° angles, there is no useful line snapping for this grid, which makes is somewhat useless as a template. It would be great (and I imagine very easy to implement) if there was a toggle in settings to access 30° line snapping.

  14. I would appreciate to have a Notebook-Counter in order to see, how many notebooks I have (in a specific folder or subfolder) and to identify/detect empty or overfilled folders or subfolders.

    After the name/title of each folder or subfolder should be in parentheses the number of (sub)folders and the number of notebooks they contain. (See figure.)

  17. Its a pain to move pages by dragging them if you have 500+ pages. Can we get a way to move multiple pages at one time in a single journal?

  18. Hallo Goodnotes,

    Könnten Sie die App erweitern mit einem Scanner welcher Bilder und handgeschriebene engescannte PDF nach Texte scannt, sodass sie beim Durchsuchen der Aufschriebe/Notizen gefunden werden. Hierfür wäre ein gezieltes Durchsuchen von einem ausgewählten Ordner am besten.

    Außerdem können Sie die noch eine Erweiterung mit einem Zirkel machen, da wenn man mit den bisherigen Kreisen arbeiten möchte für den Zuschauer nicht ganz klar ist wie groß der Radius und wo die Einstichstelle bzw. welche Drehrichtung verwendet wird.

    Freundliche Grüße
    Tobias

    Hello Goodnotes,

    Could you extend the app with a scanner that scans images and handwritten PDFs for text so…

  19. There is a free hand highlighter tool, but it makes highlighting multiple lines of text tedious because it requires dragging across each line of text in a paragraph.

    However it is currently possible to press and select text and then tap on the "highlight" option in the menu that appears. However, this requires using a finger and is not possible with a stylus. It also requires multiple steps to accomplish.

    A better solution (and one that other apps have) is to have a separate tool that the user can use to only highlight text. Ideally, the user would be able…
