  1. It would be great if you could change the gmail your account is linked to, so that you could have access to them in another drive. When I first made an account it was with my everyday email, now I have a separate one for business and school. Would be awesome if I could change it even if it was only allowed one time.

  4. 既存のノートに、スクラップ帳のように画像を取り込んで、その上から文字を書き込む使い方をよくするのですが、その時に、誤タップや投げ縄ツールで取り込んだ画像を選択してしまい、画像が動いてノートがぐちゃぐちゃになってしまうことがあります。そこで、ページ上の特定の画像のみを「編集不可状態」に出来るようにすることで、「取り込んだ画像に対する書き込み」の快適性を格段に高めることができると考えました。ご検討ください。

  5. Have a button that you can click to return to all open pages when searching folders and say you don’t want to open another folder/document.

  6. Goodnotes already has a website integration. I hope it can create an external embed link that works on 3rd party apps like websites, notion, and anything else simply as a view. This used to work with the website link, but since last year, it has stopped working.

  7. I would like another eraser setting in which you can erase by layer. E.g if you have handwriting overlapping or have written in a filled shape, it would be useful to have the option to erase only the top layer, instead of deleting everything beneath.

  8. I routinely scan student papers so that I can grade them on my iPad. The other day I accidentally had some papers upside down when they went into the scanner.

    No problem! Goodnotes has the ability for me to select pages in mass and rotate them around.

    However, when grading those papers and attempting to convert handwritten comments to text, I noticed that the conversion gets oriented upside down from my current viewpoint because it interprets that the page was rotated all the way around and so it’s attempting to make sure that the conversion is viewable correctly from the…

  9. Mostly i make notes with a taken foto as whole page, there is a menu option for that. But the foto is only in goodnotes. It would be very nice when there is a copy in the standart foto library as well. Then I don´t have to take the foto again with the standart foto app to have a foto without any notes.
    Maybe there is an option to choose between storing in the standart library as well or not...
    That feature would help and save a lot of time...

  10. I am dislexic a PDF read aloud would help so much. (like how adobi arcrobatic) this would help as well as when I am trying to take a brack but would like to keep reading but my eyes may not be able to take any more reading anymore. (part of the reson I love how I can highlight the needed parts of any test book pages I needed with this note taking app.)

  11. I would like to suggest adding an option to unlock files within a specific folder instead of unlocking all locked documents across the app after unlocking just one. This would enhance security by limiting access to only relevant documents while also providing more control and convenience for users. Thank you for considering this improvement!

  12. All of the time I want to create a circle and because it's not perfect enough it gets completed to an oval. I would suggest a menu when you click on the shapes tool (like the one when you click the lasso tool) where you are able to enable/disable shapes that get created.

  13. Please add Indent, Bullet and a Numbering icons next to the return button. This would be very helpful when using handwriting to text.

    • there is an issue with it highlighting the correct word so it will show that the word is on the page but it won't highlight it or if it does highlight it the highlighting is not actually on the word so you still have to look around the highlighting to find the word you're looking for

    • there is a glitch that makes searching really slow so I have to retype the word a few times for it to show up

    • sometimes it says the word is not in the document but when I search on other platforms it comes up…

  14. I do believe that Goodnotes does some of the best (if not the best) work at editing PDF powerpoint slides. One feature that I love about another competitor app however, is the ability to edit on the side the PDF slide aka slide notes. This would be a great way to add additional information (definitions, questions, images,stickers) and avoiding layering on an already cluttered slide. I think this would pair well with Goodnotes 'presentation' mode which I use quite often and pull up my own notes to present lecture slides.

  15. Since the recent updates, my imac will not go to sleep even when I do not have goodnotes open on it - it is kept awake by using goodnotes on my iPad. Please change this as it's costing electricity!

  17. i usually use Goodnotes for PDF so sometimes objects drawn with pen tool are difficult to see. therefore, i suggest new type of pen which has edged line like lazer tool.
    my another idea is adding wavy and double line to pen or shape tool. now i can draw only single lines to highlight words / sentences. However it seems there's lack of function. thus we need wavy and double line tool.

  19. Add this to suggestion box: make It easier to add a current page I am working on to the templates. Right now I have to export and then import back in and that is annoying and useless. Thanks.
