  1. I would love a way to shift everything below a certain point down. Right now, I have to do a thousand lassos, or just erase and rewrite with the extra stuff in super tiny handwriting.
    I’d like to draw a line with the lasso and have everything move down some set amount of space (width of a line or whatever divider your page background is).

  2. Live Notes collaboration take too long to update. (takes around 30 seconds to update) Collaboration feature should be immediate, similar to google docs/ slides

  3. Please provide support so that the contents of the sticker memo can also be searched. I tried several tests, but I had the problem of not being able to find important information because the contents of the sticker memo were not searchable. thank you

  4. Allow the user to specify a default notebook for quick notes. If not specified, use a system default notebook. Never close an open notebook when starting a new quick note (open the specified default notebook or the system default notebook in a new tab if they are not already open)

  5. Above the inserted image, draw "lines, circles, polygons, etc.", click to select "lines, circles, polygons, etc." again, the selected "lines, circles, polygons, etc." will disappear and cannot be selected again. Only after exiting and re-entering will they reappear.

  6. Do you think possible to add new feature to create "flashCard on the fly" inside document creation ?

    My idea is to have new tool/feature to convert part of document to become flash card attached to document.

    With this, no need to switch between document and flash card area.
    => "just", we determine part of document to become flash card element (link, ...) ;-)

    Thanks a lot for this tool ;-)

  7. I am using 64gb ipad and i have problems with storage. So can you make all the files in goodnotes online and using the internet to edit and let user control which note can be used offline like google drive. I have slides which is easily used with the Internet and some books is too heavy so i want to download it and use offline

  8. I was really excited about the sticky notes feature at first. After the rocky launch and the subsequent patch that supposedly fixed things, I ultimately ended up moving the sticky notes icon to the hidden section of my toolbar—never to be used again (ironically, toolbar customization is probably the most useful feature for me, LOL). Experience tunnel rush, where neon-lit tunnels twist and turn as you race through a kaleidoscope of obstacles, blending stunning visuals with heart-pounding action.

    The way sticky notes are implemented is clunky and unintuitive, creating more problems than they solve. I don’t understand why they…

  9. I took notes after importing the PDF, and then I modified the original PDF. How can I re-import the PDF without losing the existing notes?

  10. Bookmarks in shared notebooks don’t sync for other users. I add bookmarks, but my students can’t see them. It would be great if bookmarks could sync across devices. Thank you!

  11. Goodnotes takes up a TON of space on my phone - so much, that had to delete it in order to update my ios

    I don't need access to most of my notes all the time - it would be great if we were able to selectively synch specific notebooks or folders to be on our physical devices while the rest stay in the cloud. At present our only option is to export notebooks as goodnotes files or pdfs, save them somewhere else and delete them from the app.

    For example there's only one notebook I'd like to have access…

  12. Some pens support haptics like the microsoft surface pens. Goodnotes currently doesn't support this function and being able to write with haptic feedback on a pen that supports it would make writing feel much better.

  13. I would love a format that is similar to a word processor so when I add or delete a section on a page it automatically resizes the pages joining accordingly.

  14. If you press Clear page and quickly swipe, you actually clear the page you swiped to, and not the current page. This is very annoying, and almost never what you actually want. Can you make Clear page always clear the current page?

  15. GoodNotes is the best note taking app for iPad.

    But there is a chunk of the userbase which uses it on their laptops/mac's and use the text feature a lot - both full page writing tool and floating text box alike.

    There's a lot to improve and catch up in these features comparing to dominating industry standards of note taking apps writing tools like in Notion for example.

    GoodNotes could leverage its handwriting features combined with an improved text writing experience to be even more outstanding in the market of note taking apps.

    The improvements include:
    1. Introducing easy via…

  17. It would help if one could move Cards between different decks. Merging multiple Card Decks into one session would also be helpful for the smart study Mode

  18. I've seen really mixed reviews—some people love it, while others say it's full of bugs and practically unusable. Is it still worth buying? Should I go for Goodnotes 5 instead? Or would another app be a better choice?

    For context, I'm in high school and plan to keep using it in snake game, where quick reflexes and a good appetite are all you need to dominate the leaderboard.

  19. As a high school teacher, it is important for us to let panel head acknowledge and check our markings on students' works. Also, collaborative work could not be done because each goodnotes classroom folder could not invite other teachers to edit or view content. This highly increases the inconvenience and decreases the possibility in transferring files to the other teachers concerned.

  20. If linked to the outline, the pages linked will guide me to the content I linked.
    Example for current situation:
    If I add one page before the content I wish to link on Document A, the current linked page will move to the next page from page 7 to page 8. And when I click on the link on Document B, it will still guide me to Document A, page 7. But the actual content has already moved to page 8 cause of adding a page.
