  1. A vertical zoom window for those of us on top-to-bottom documents, as opposed to left-to-right documents.

  2. I want the option to be able to go to a different page and then click a 'back button' to whatever page I was on previously (within the same notebook). This would be really helpful since some of my notebooks are really long, and sometimes I just want to check something out on a different page and then go back to the page I was previously on. It takes me a long time to scroll all the way back to the page, so this would be very helpful :)

  4. Hide bar showing the multiple files when I’m editing one specific file. Request: When I wanna switch, I’ll click the screen and call upon that bar to switch between files. Pictorially explained in photo.

  5. When zoomed in trying to write, ocasionally the whole thing zooms out having to zoom in again. This is very frustrating, especially when doing things under time restriction such as exams or some kind of quiz. I have noticed that this happens when moving the palm when writing.

  7. Please add a option to delete documents and folders on your device without deleting them entirely. Similar on Files on MacOS where your files are in the cloud and you can choose to delete them just from your device. This would be especially useful on a low storage device.

  8. As example, we could have the option to open a pdf inside the notebook, making easier make slices from the book to notebook (no need to save in the gallery or copy the image, just select and slide). Thais way, when the image copied get clicked at the notebook, the book reopen in the same page (they keep linked). Just Like a referenced cell.

  9. I would suggest another function for the lasso tool which makes it possible to chance the font size of the selected handwritten text without enlarging the whole text.

  10. My idea is, that you can organize and see your GoodNotes files in the files app on iOS/iPadOS devices. This would enhance/improve the workflow with GoodNotes files. Beside it would be nice, if GoodNotes would support shortcuts, e. g. automatically creating new notes or search for notes with filters. Thank you

  11. When I sometimes accidentally imported pages to the wrong document, I need to go through a lot of trouble to move it back to the correct document. I’m not sure if there are any current functions that would allow me to move pages within existing GoodNotes document easily, if not should we please have this function added? Thank you so much!

  12. The ability to open the flashcards as full screen when we are studying them instead of it opening a separate page. Also a function that enlarges the text/ zooms in when you are studying the flashcards. I always zoom in initially to write my text but then I go to study flashcards function and I can't even read what I have written. So I have to go back and enlarge all the text. This is so, so annoying - please change this. And more options to track the cards you've studied and ways to overview/ provide a summary of the…

  14. Hi,

    For me it would be very useful if I could sort a documents pages in thumbnail mode by creation date and date of last modification.

    Especially in larger documents it's hard to find the side where I have changed something yesterday...

  15. I want improved folder/ note organization where the same file can be placed in multiple locations without compromising space (e.g. if I have a folder labeled textbooks, but then want to access a specific text from a different folder like Year 1 Microbiology which includes lecture PDFs, notes, and review sheets).

  16. The text editing functionality is adequate, but it really needs table stakes functionality such as bullets. That's the main thing missing for me. Ideally, it would have robust, but lightweight functionality like Slack offers in chat. Using asterisks or hypens and manually futzing around with indention is a pain.

  17. Even if not full version, being able to access and view your notes on PC would be great.

  18. When using an Apple Pencil with the lasso tool, if I get too close to the edge of the page I frequently go just beyond the edge, causing the lasso tool to think that's the end of the lasso area selection. This typically does not result in the desired area being selected.

    Instead of terminating the lasso area selection when going out-of-bounds, snap the lasso selection to the page boundary and continue lasso area selection.

    (This seems to be the behavior of the macOS app when using the lasso tool with mouse. It would be good to enable similar behavior…

  19. I use to have 3 or 4 notebook opened (as tabs), on the iPad when we open Goodnotes we are on the last state (with notebooks already opened), on the Mac each time I open Goodnotes I start with a blank stage, on folder page and nothing opened.

  20. The iPad dock line at the bottom interferes a lot with my hand while taking notes. I see that other apps like Procreate hide the dock line, and I need an extra gesture to get the line visible. This feature will be awesome on Goodnotes as I currently have a bad experience where an entire line of writing disappears sometimes because the iPad dock line was engaged by the bottom of my hand that was resting.
