  1. Added the function of creating folders in the Favorites, so that the collection page of different files can be sorted and summarized, users can more intuitively and quickly find the corresponding collections of the corresponding files to avoid the problem of cluttering different collection files in Favorites.

  2. Add template with alternating borders. First page big border left, second page big border on the right. I know there is a symmetric template with big borders, but need all space on die page. The problem comes up when I punch it and put it in a folder

  3. Or just add additional buttons to do those things separately. Or better: give us the option to activate those additional buttons.

    From time to time i don't want to change the seize of objects while i want to change their angle. Right now, for example, I am using a geometric ruler which isn't a standard tool for Goodnotes right now. For measuring angles and lengths, i need to turn and move the ruler without changing it's size. It would be great if I could turn this object on a fast way without having to click as many times as I…

  6. I'm unable to add a template with multiple pages. Not allowing this makes it where I cannot use the auto-zoom feature because it zooms too far down and cannot be adjusted unless it's a template. PLEASE FIX!

  7. When highlighting a word or sentence in an imported pdf, tap to enable a hidden note embedded within the highlight. The reason I say imported pdfs is because most files do not have space to take notes on the individual pages so embedding your note within the highlight provides space to take notes where the note applies while keeping the file looking clean.

    i.e. the definition of a word in the middle of a paragraph

  9. As a medical student I have to go through lots of lectures and content daily. I have been using onenote as it allows for a fast importing of powerpoints when you convert the slides into PNG file types so i can make notes around them. Im struggling with goodnotes as although you can very quickly import these slides you cant make notes around the slides and you cannot import the slides onto the page of the notebook eg 2x slides per page without doing screenshots which takes a very long time for a lecture with over 100 slides in it.…

  10. I think many people want better use of theyre Keyboard. So it would actually be worth bringing a MacBook with you, and not only using GoodNotes for Handwriting.

  11. Right now, the eraser would get whatever is in the background of the handwriting, so if I have a brush stroke and it's beautiful, it's gone if I want to change the text that I had overlaid on top of it. Like with the lasso, the eraser should have more options so it doesn't erase things we want to keep

  13. When Scanning for example an A4 document, it is „placed“ on the GoodNotes standard aspect ratio, creating white unused space next to it. It would be nice to either be able to select the aspect ratio or that the document is simply imported just like a normal photo (not placed on any white background with the wrong aspect ratio)
    Thank you very much :)

  14. Whenever I’m writing my finger is held down on the screen and opens the menu shown in the photo. It’s extremely distracting and makes it impossible to use this app.

  16. When rotating a page in a PDF document, the width of the single pages varies from the upright to the horizontal ones. This causes vertical scrolling to also scroll left or right sometimes. Double-tapping to zoom also doesn't feel as natural anymore.
    I'd like to have an option to display all pages in the same width which would solve both problems.

  18. Sometimes when users want to open a new document. They have to tap return multiple times to all folders if they have more folders inside folders for classification, and finally they can open the document they want. This severely decrease productivity and annoy users.

    To make tab logic easier to understand, one tap for the “+” button can open a new tab for all documents and open the document they want faster.

    Also for the text tool, we hope that users can set three default style for better visual hierarchy in text notes.

  19. All the things at one place - in GoodNotes

    Please add support to as much formats as you can. Even links with just preview would be awesome. I don’t want to have some type of stuff in files and other in GoodNotes. I all the time struggle to find what I have and where.

  20. Please add the function: so that the highlighter can be kept straight, instead of being held for a few seconds and turning into a straight line. This would increase the speed of working, which is often very annoying when it turns into a curve...
    please apply it
