  1. Many GoodNotes users want to share documents with people who do not have the app, so it would be incredible if you added the option to share through a link so that anyone from any browser can view it and download it in pdf format, and that when we are modifying the file the other person reload the page and the changes made will appear.

  2. Hi,
    My professors sometimes provide us with scans of documents to read. I like to annotate as I read. However because these can be scans with black edges from scanning, it is really hard to find a color that will show through. If I was able to put an opaque shape behind my text to make it easily viewable, that would be awesome. The current fill only allows for a see though fill and it doesn’t help at all. I also can’t chose white because it would not show on the white spaces and I don’t want to be changing…

  3. Es wäre super, wenn man in Goodnotes Links einfügen könnte und diese dann auch mit dem Hyperlink verbunden wären. Gerade bei Zusammenfassungen könnte man so die Quelle verlinken.

  4. Make a function like a text bubble in PDF expert.
    Very useful on powerpoints where there is no place to write on top off the slides.

  5. Ink to maths would be perfect, notability has added the feature via my script and it will be excellent if good notes could do the same

  6. Add schedule that can link my document to certain days like for example in Sunday I want to review my pharmacology notes and to complete another note, when I tap on the name of the note that is written on the schedule it takes me directly to the note page.

  7. The Lasso Tool should be integrated into the Zoom Window. I believe this feature would be useful to many others who are accustomed to using the Zoom Window for normal writing. It's tedious to have to exit the window just to move objects around, change the color, or other common tasks using the lasso. Being able to utilize the lasso without having to exit the Zoom Window every time would just increase ease of use.

    Thanks!

  9. When i use good notes to add my own annotations in my professor's presentation slides, I would love to have an option to click through the pages instead of scrolling through them. It makes the reading faster and it's easier to navigate between the slides.

  10. A small bar that can be positioned around the edge of the screen. I use the Goodnotes app to take notes during Uni lectures and I find myself using the brush pen for titles and key info, and ball pen for the notes. When you have the app on half screen so that the powerpoint takes up one side you lose the access to the quick "one tap" colour selection.

    The ideal quick bar would be able to move to either sides of the document you are taking notes on. You would be able to had a set style and…

  11. Um ponto muito negativo desta app e que leva muitos usuários a não comprá-la é o facto de quando queremos colar imagens umas por cima de outras, teremos de pensar muito bem antes de o fazer, o que leva a perda de tempo. Por exemplo, se eu colocar uma imagem de um campo de futebol, depois colar várias imagens de jogadores por cima desta, se por ventura, quiser apenas mover 2 ou 3 jogadores simultâneamente a app não permite fazer, ou seja, ou tenho de mover um a um, ou se utilzar a ferramenta de seleção para selecionar os que…

  12. When I screenshot parts of a document and insert them at a different point, the ratio always changes and the screenshot is bigger/smaller than the original image/text passage I wanted to take a screenshot of.
    I have to resize the screenshots every time which takes time and both parts often don't end up being the exact same size.

  13. These idea already was written, and the status is "done". But in fact it isn't. Look how the highlighter is on dark paper when it is done and when it is selected or with apple pencil on it when you make it. You should review this idea and realise it already please.

  14. Hey GoodNotes Team,

    I‘m a teacher from Germany and love & use GoodNotes5 for preparing und presenting my lessons.
    The presantation mode is great, but I dream about a function, that would allow me to see the whole script, that my students on the external screen don‘t see. Like a thin layer, so I see points I shouldn‘t forget or where I must draw or write something, without using an extra piece of paper.

    Best Wishes
    Dustin

  15. The flashcard feature is great but there are a few features that I would like to see:

    1.) Ability to switch the Q&A sections

    After a few weeks of using this feature, there are times when I would like to flip the Q and A section of the flashcards.

    2.) Convert any page into a flashcard

    I've created a PDF file (around 60 pages) to be turned into flashcards and was hoping to be able to import it and just convert it from there. This was not possible and I had to make a template for each page, set it…

  16. Because of me writing with my left hand, i have problems by writing at the edge of the paper when i zoom in a bit. A Mode where you can position your page a bit further to the right would be great !!

  17. I do not know why but every time I use a text box and type vs. using my apple pen to write. IT DELETES. All my notes are gone. It's very frustrating.

  20. I hate having to manually change to eraser each time I make a mistake. I think Nebo has this function.
