  3. Mirror entire page, in the same menu where I can now rotate an entire page by 90 or 180 degrees.

    Use case: I want to make notes on a floor plan in an imported PDF file.
    But the floor plan is a mirror image of the actual space. So I want to begin by creating a mirror image of the page. In this case, I want a mirror of the image on the PDF page. I can also see reasons to be able to “flip” either the entire page with annotations or just an image in the imported PDF file,…

  4. When typing and reaching the end of a page, the text does not automatically continue onto a new page. It would be very helpful if the app automatically opened a new page when the bottom of the current page is reached, similar to other programs like Word or Pages.

  6. I love everything about goodnotes EXCEPT that you are lacking this very basic feature. I am high functioning ASD (and the stereotypical sloppy handwriting) and have connective tissue disorders that make my hands hard to control on a regular basis. I thrive with visual data and organization and your app truly is THE BEST - but I always discontinue use of this app very quickly due to the absolute chicken scratch it turns my handwriting into. This is a very real accessibility issue that I am disappointed to see overlooked by a company of your size and acclaim.

  7. Please implement a shortcut for Apple users, which converts —> into a „pretty“ arrow (as in word)

  8. Text formatting

    • (Some) Markdown support -- including the extended syntax
      • TeX and LaTeX support (like $\TeX or \LaTeX$)
      • Inline code and code blocks -- I'm not expecting syntax highlighting due to security reasons
      • Links
      • Footnotes [^*]

    Styling initial paragraphs

    Most of the time, I style the first sentence of my document as Paragraph, not as Heading.

    With the current unresponsive UI when using on macOS, I have to click Style & Formatting and change the style every single time. It would be great if the app could let me set my styling preference for new documents.

  9. It is vital for me to see the date of the creation of my page. Some pages are memories from trips. Some notes are memories from a special event on a work day  . I would love to be able to see the date and time, and there may be more details about the specific page. I was so surprised to find that you cannot :)

  10. There are basically 3 pen thickness slots, eraser slots, and highlighter thickness slots, so I'd like to have additional thickness slots and eraser slots.

  11. It would be helpful so that we can create additional study sets easier as I have found excel is the best way to input info into study sets but without the ability to merge sets at this time.

  13. We should be able to add multiple elements or stickers and make them the same size with a precision sizing tool. If I put down 3 memo pad stickers and I want all 3 to be the same size, there shouldn’t be a constant resizing from the corner sizer. We could click on the sticker or element and put in a font size or pixel dimensions.
    Or an option as we are placing it to choose the size. Either way something to keep stickers and other elements consistent in size from page to page and even on the same page…

  14. Please improve the overflow text feature. Right now, if I add text to an existing page and it reaches the end, I have to add a new page for overflow each time. It should be possible to overflow to the next existing page automatically. Also, I do not see the overflow text until I add a page, so what I have written can easily be lost if I am not paying close attention. I have to backspace until the writing reappears, or add a new page- but not seeing a paragraph I have written is very stressful. It also breaks…

  15. I noticed that the device gets really hot when I use Goodnots. I let a diagnositcs tool run and confirmed it.

    The device does not heat up when i use other Apps or watch videos and the brightness is around 30%.

    I would appreciate if this could be fixed.

  16. I have had multiple documents that needs to be synced but they generally take their own time before syncing. If there can be a button to force sync all files to cloud that would save me so much headache and time.

  17. I’ve been using the app extensively for note-taking and organization, and I believe that the addition of a toggle menu feature would be incredibly beneficial. This feature could streamline navigation and provide a more efficient way to access different sections within the app. By allowing users to toggle between various menus seamlessly, it would make the overall experience more intuitive and user-friendly.

  18. I use Goodnotes for reading academic papers in college and it would be very useful if I can take notes right next to paper, not in another notebook. So, when I open the pdf, I also want to see the side notes I took in the same page.

  20. Hello Goodnotes team, apple introduced the interactive widgets with ios 17. I think it is fantastic, if you add the vocabulary function to the interactive widgets. apple showed it with the example of quizlett in the WWDC. If you add this you can learn easy your vocabularys on your Home screen by swiping between the apps.
