  1. It is difficult to write in corners of a page while resting your hand on the screen. The ability to rearrange the page to a position where the corner of the page is near the center of the screen would improve user accessibility and comfort while writing.

  5. The page preview thumbnails are so small you can't really make out details, and the size of the thumbnails or the sidebar can't be customized. That makes it hard enough to navigate a notebook if you don't have an outline structure in place as it is, then then changing pages when you're in a zoomed in view kicks you over to the selected page at the center of the destination page.

    It gets annoying having to manually scroll up to verify the page title each time you move throughout the contents of a notebook.

  6. I'm using Goodnotes on M1MacBookAir. I often copy and paste images but sometimes pasted images are converted original first pasting form. I would like you to fix this condition, in which edited images form will be saved permanently.

  7. Hey there,

    we use GOODNOTES at our school on a daily basis and I think it would be a great idea to manage the import of documents like PDFs. For example: if I want to open a PDF in OneDrive and share it in order to open it into another App like Goodnotes, I can only choose to import it into the current document or open a new document. It would be a great idea to be able to choose the document and maybe have it saved to multiple documents at the same time.

    Kind regards

  8. When scanning, each scanned document is converted to the US Letter format. This means an originally A4-sized sheet is shrunk and gains borders. This is problematic because I am a geometry teacher, and when a student draws a line of, for example, 7 cm on their A4 sheet, the internal Goodnotes ruler only reads 6.3 cm. This is inconvenient. I would like to be able to set the format to A4 during scanning so that all real lengths can be accurately measured by the Goodnotes ruler.

  9. Hi Goodnotes Team,

    As an architect, I take a lot of measurements on construction sites with GoodNotes and my iPad.
    I take a lot of photos for the measurements, which I then label with GoodNotes.
    Unfortunately, I have to reset the desired camera settings for each photo, e.g. flash on or zoom setting of the camera.
    It would be nice if there was an option to save the last camera settings.
    Greetings Tobi

  11. Dear GoodNotes Team,

    Hello, my name is Tami, and I have been using GoodNotes since its initial release. I believe you must have tried the app CollaNote at some point.

    Today, I have a request. In the CollaNote app, when you write, it automatically adjusts the shape of the letters to keep them from looking uneven, almost like a magnetic effect. As a left-handed person with tremors, I often struggle with keeping my writing neat.

    I would greatly appreciate it if GoodNotes could add a similar feature that automatically adjusts the shape of letters in your next update. This feature…

  14. A way to organize the elements library would be very useful, sometimes I download loads of stickers at once but then i can’t change the “folder” they’re in

  15. There's already been a highlight feature and a strikeout feature for selected texts on PDF files, so I wonder if you can implement applying tapes onto selected texts as an addition, since we have tape functions just on board.

  17. We have been using a web app with zero functionality for almost 2 years now. Did you guys abandon us? We paid for this and still do. Why can't we have the real goodnotes? It's literally the goodnotes from wish .com right now. No stickers. No goodnotes files, different ui, everything is horrible. It can't even handle importing a .pdf without zooming weird. Why do you do this to us. It's so sad.

  18. GN works well on iphone/ipad. However, it is poorly optimized for Macbook (where many of us use it). Needed improvements: decrease memory use and battery drain, set standard window size, fix glitches leading to freezing and need to exit and restart.

  19. Being able to instantly make flashcards of your college slides. To be able to automatically have each slides as an answer, and only having to come up with a question relevant to the slide. Now I have to spend hours placing my college slides in the answer bar of the flashcards.

  20. Guten Tag
    Es wäre super, wenn es Vorlagen für Lernsets gäbe (z.B. kariert oder liniert)

    Zudem wäre es einen grossen Mehrwert, wenn die Lernsets wieder als pdf exportierbar wären.
    So sind die Karteikarten an die App gebunden und es ist kaum möglich diese offline zu repetieren, was sehr schade ist.
    Bei der Version 5 gab es diese Option!
