  1. ■Strongly desire to support left-opening of PDFs.

    Japanese books open on the left.
    In order to open a PDF of that book, it needs to move horizontally and open left.
    Also, I would like to be able to choose between “one page appears independently” or “the previous and next pages appear continuously”.

  4. The system can already read your handwriting, so the ability to have the app code this writing to determine a Date and Time for a reminder would be amazing. Whether that be for an In-App reminders section which also pings on your phone and on top of the screen like "In your face"(APP) would be amazing.

    It would be brilliant if the app could automatically set a reminder in your default reminder software.

    As others have mentioned, this app is used for notes, diary and everything that people usually write down - so make it a super-app with the reminders…

  5. If you write with a pen or type text and choose an object with a classo tool and enlarge it, the letters will be enlarged completely, such as 100%, 150%, and 200%. For example, I wrote in the size of a 0.8mm thick and thick pen, but I zoomed in and reduced it to the classo tool because I think there was not enough space to write or the letters were too small. However, when I zoomed in/enlarged, the result displayed appears as if it were 0.2mm/2.00mm thick. I would like to add a function that can be modified to…

  6. If there is text in the photo or there is an equation, it would be nice to add a function to convert it into a text in the form of a good note or an equation function, as if adding text or entering an equation from a good note. (Transform text and equation in the photo directly into text and equation objects.)

  7. When exporting in good note or PDF file format, I hope to add a password function that allows only those who know the password to open the file.

  8. It would be nice to add a (PDF edit) function that can be modified if there is a typo or incorrect text within the PDF file, or if it contains unnecessary content or unnecessary attaches.

  9. As a college student, I have access to the slides to my classes but there are no spaces on the side to write my own notes. It would be cool if there was a feature to add that on the side of my documents.

    It would be similar to the image but rather a whole added side to the document just like adding another page but on the right of the page/document.

  10. The experimental math conversion tool for Goodnotes6 is fairly good. It can convert most of 1-liner math handwriting satisfactory!
    However, it seems that the color of produced math formula is black only and can't be changed.
    Please make it possible to change color of the produced formulas, like other objects such as lines and typed texts. Assuming LaTeX as the conversion backend, it shouldn't be very difficult to make it by inserting a preamble \color{colorname} just before the math script.

  11. Similar to MS paint it would be useful to have a paint bucket tool that would fill a color inside the lines of a shape. Most of the functionality is already added with the shape fill color option, but for drawings that dont use it there is no efficient way to fill the space.

  13. If I create a note using the squared paper, positioning text (in text boxes), export that as a flattened PDF, import it as a template and use it, the typed text area no longer correctly aligns.

    It's weird, it's not starting the typed text box in the same place on the template as it is on the squared paper template, and the text seems to have a larger size or more of a gap between lines as it starts to creep line by line down the page (see example below).
    Should be a (super-)quick fix?

  14. Allow users to zoom out further than the page size to quickly scroll through the content, and write on the edges of pages by centering the edge on the tablet.

  16. Coloured Tabs would be great.
    I have many goodnotes files open, many for different subjects. If I could colour the tabs, I could more easily distinguish betweens subjects and more quickly find the subject I am looking for.
    For example: my thermodynamics folder is red. Notes to my thermodynamics lecture could corresponed to a red tab by default. Homework for thermodynamics, that are also in the red thermodynamics folder, could also have their tab colour switched from red to pink (similar colour, different purpose).

  17. Instead of having the overflow text at the end of the pages, just automatically add a page, just like the Word app would do. Make the pages connected instead of divided.

  18. Being able to write document names in three lines (like citations: title, authors, journal) is very useful for those of us who use GoodNotes to read scientific articles.

  19. Please make it so we can adjust an image to exact dimensions. It would be so much easier resizing an image to match other images exact size. I do a lot of book journaling. The pre made pages of the journal are created so you can drag and drop book covers on to the page. I find myself spending ten minutes per image trying to fit the book cover in the pre made square. And even when I fit it in there, it’s never the same size as the other ones. I would also suggest fixing the resizing corners. PLEASE…

  20. Activer l’utilisation du ruban en mode pointeur optimiserait le flux de travail et réduirait les interruptions inutiles.
    GoodNotes deviendrait ainsi un outil encore plus puissant pour les enseignants et les professionnels.
