  1. While writing, my palm touches the screen and most often the "Zoom | Add comment" option pops up. It would be great if this menu can be made optional.

  2. As I study, sometimes i have to take notes on an assignment and my class notes are filled with pages that are only for those assignment and when i revise my notes to study I don't need those. I think it would be great to be able to choose pages and hide them, so they don't bother me once i have already used them but if i need them i can use them again.

  3. Linking the same page or document in one folder to a different folder or document. Basically, the ability to edit something in one document and have it updated in the linked document or page without having to copy it or do it twice.

  4. When creating a study set, I wish I could zoom in or out of the screen. In particular, it is difficult to see the questions and answers at a glance because it is not reduced.

  5. The zoom out is very limited. I'd want to zoom out to see more into the pages above and below.

  6. The ruler in 6.2.7 is great, but a TRIANGLE RULER as a ruler option would be absolutely great. Thanks!

  7. currently it allows the selection of line color and line thickness, but they are isolated from each other, if they can be combined as a "compound style", and have multiple of them, it will be perfect.

    e.g. compound style 1 = "red line + thickness in 1mm"
    compound style 2 = "green line + thickness in 2mm"

    if i can select directly between compound style 1 & 2, instead of keep selecting between red / green AND 1mm/2mm, it will be very very handy.

  8. I tried the text feature on the flashcard part of goodnotes and i like the way it looks. but it's really annoying that I can't add photos to it with text. Only if I write out my cards am i able to add photos.

  9. I use many different types of devices such as Mac computer, Windows PC, iPad, Android. I know this seems weird but I do use them daily. And I need an app/program other than One Note from Microsoft. If my notes can be synchronized and loaded from all the different types of devices I would appreciate so much. Since there are not many that supports Mac/Windows/iOS/iPad OS/Android and you are one of the few, I really hope to see you supporting this feature. Thank you.

  10. As a student, I have a notebook for each class and like to record the lectures for especially difficult topics. I would like to be able to quickly review the audio files when studying; I think the rename feature is vital so I can quickly access a specific lecture topic without trying to figure out what day (or even what hour) the lecture was given. It will also help me organize topics.

    I also think a separate space for an audio transcript would be extremely helpful for productivity. Not only does it help me quickly navigate the recording (e.g. jump…

  11. As a web developer student, I would highly find it useful if goodnotes can format code to make it easier to read when code is typed or pasted.
    A functionality that works similar to google docs extension add on, named "Code Block" would be awesome!

  12. As I used voice recording function, I suggest two improvements.
    First, it will be better if we can save recorded file out from GoodNotes.
    Second, I suggest that we can adjust speed of the recording when listening.

    Thank you

  13. Can we have even more colours for the folders, ie dark blue for instance. Can we also have more icons for the folders, suggestions such as a movie icon, different sports (balls etc), travel (i.e aeroplane, train, car, bicycle etc), domestic appliances, nature symbols (trees etc). Thanks.

  15. It would be very helpful to see the size (in MB, GB, etc.) of each note/document/folder/notebook in GoodNotes. That way, we can see which files can be deleted to recover more space on our devices and on iCloud.

  16. I'm a bit of a perfectionist with my handwriting, its an issue. But I would love custom pen settings similar to Procreate Brush Studio for smoother pen flow, especially since I have very jittery over-caffeinated hands haha. Specifically for ball point pen! See attachment for my example of what I consider "smooth" pen flow; note starting/ending pressure points. Examples of settings would include stroke properties, jitter, stabilization, pressure sensitivity, streamline, etc.

  17. The comments should be searchable in GoodNotes!!
    Comments is a very useful way to take notes, thus I write many of my thoughts in comments. However, I find I can’t search for my comment in GoodNotes, which cost me a lot of time to search my notes. I hope the the contents inside the comments can be searched.

  19. Being able to show where edits are being made, like in the corner it says the page number of where you were writing at that moment in the audio reocording, would be helpful

  20. My handwriting is so messy that I write with a ruler in daily life. I tried it with the ruler on the screen, and it’s not possible.
    The words are ‘sucked’ like a magnet to the ruler and automatically draws a line.

    It would be soooooo nice to be able to have the ruler not be ‘magnetic’ and write on it.

    I can’t read my own handwriting without ruler and it looks very very stupid when I’m holding a real life ruler against my ipad screen in meetings…
