  1. I am a student who uses GoodNotes to study.
    I'm mailing to suggest features that would be great when I study in GoodNotes.
    It's moving to a page you've seen before, which is similar to the previous channel feature of the tv remote.

    While studying, there are many cases of moving and looking to refer to pages that are far away, and then returning from the previous ones.
    If this function is added, it seems that the efficiency of study can be improved.
    Thanks for reading :)

  4. If you set your page scrolling to lets say horizontal and you scroll to the right you can create a new page there. What if you can create a new page on the right side and below. That way you have columns and rows for pages. You could import a PDF document vertically and add to every page on its right horizontally a new page.

  5. Taking notes on my iPad is perfect, it's seamless and very user friendly; however, when taking notes on my Mac it's a lot less user friendly. therefore, I kindly request for a more Mac friendly experience when taking notes

  7. Should be able to customize way more-
    • unlock aspect ratio on things like rectangles
    • choose if you want border
    • pre-set shapes instead of being required to draw it
    • drag straight, vertical, horizontal line options again, instead of having to draw
    •graphs

  8. Hi there,
    1) In LiquidText, you have the ability to create links not only between different pages of the same book but across different books in the app. I want GoodNotes to implement it in pdf textbooks and digital handwriting notes and it will make study and research very easy.
    2) In LiquidText again there is a feature in which you pinch to collapse the pages so that you could compare the material between two different pages of the same book. It’s awesome and it will make studies very easy and productive. So please work on it
    3) Please either…

  9. Implement Kanji paper as draft.
    For learning and writing Japanese / Chinese Characters (Kanji), a specific paper is used (see attached img). Implementing this paper style in GoodNote drafts would be great!

  10. 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.

  11. Please make corner focused resizing to be an option for pictures and shapes. Resizing them to fit exactly in what I want is a nightmare because it is center focused, and the entire pic/shape changes.

  13. So far so good!
    I’d like to see a new layout implemented. I’m sure most users use Outlines to organize their notebooks so it’d make perfect sense to have a fast way to access the outline of the notebook without having to press on the four Rectangle button and then click on Outline (when being in thumbnails or favorites).
    So my recommendation is to have a button to directly show the notebook outline, since I’m working a lot with lectures slides and I have one notebook for each course. The placement of the button could be near the title on…

  14. It would be very helpful if there was a "mark as read" option in GoodNotes, especially when you have a lot of texts to be read so you can see at a glance which ones you have read and which ones are still to be read. Currently, I am using the "tick emoji" in the document name which is an alternative but being able to actually tick off documents and mark them as read would be so helpful!

  15. The collaboration feature is great! But will be even better if there is a function where all parties can look at the same page, instead of people looking and editing different pages.

  16. In some pdf, the words are well formatted. Therefore, I thought it would be much easier for us to use mouse cursor or trackpad to select the word for copy and paste or translation.

  18. It would be useful to being able to write in a document even with the toolbar being invisible. This had the effect that the whole page being visible would be bigger as it fills the whole iPad screen.
    Maybe you could create some kind of „mini toolbar“ in pop-up style that could be used in this mode.

  19. Sometimes I accidentally click on the star on a document from my favorites and it immediately removes it from the list.

    Please add a toast message to allow undo for this operation.

  20. In documents packed full with words, it would be really helpful to be able to add sticky notes to annotate. They do not have to be uploaded to the PDF when exported, but I just wanted an option to add a small space to write next to the documents.
