  1. When using the magnifying option to write notes, it is frustrating to keep moving the box while writing. In the app Notability, the magnifying box would move once the writing reach the end of the box that way the writer can continually write without interruption.This would make taking notes more efficient.

  3. I need a template for organic chemistry--Specifically a hexagonal-lined notebook. These are imperative for note taking and problem solving in organic chemistry class and as I use Goodnotes mainly for my stem classes this would be very useful!

  4. the textbox tool is broken.
    when using the text box and tapping the screen (even if using the on-screen keyboard) the textbox will undo ( and it won't be reversible ) so you will need to retype everything. furthermore, it keeps this weird overlay of way should have happened if it would work correctly or something that should have been deleted but for some reason stays. and when switching pages and then editing a textbox you will get "teleported" into a random previewed page. and if the pages are similar you might rune some notes.

  5. Please add the ability to customise folders and their colours!!!! For example, different coloured folders, add emojis or text to folders etc. That would make the app perfect!

  6. Beim arbeiten in der Schule habe ich bemerkt, dass es bei ihrer tollen App einen Verbesserungsvorschlag meinerseits gibt.
    Beim Scrollen (horizontal) wäre es gut, wenn sich der eingezoomte sichtbereich beim Scrollen auf eine andere Seite nicht nach oben verschieben würde.

  7. I am using GoodNotes for work. I have multiple notebooks covering different topics, and sometimes certain points would be relevant in multiple notebooks.

    Was thinking that an ability to ‘twin’ a page to another notebook would be helpful. Not just a link, but twinning. For illustration,

    Notebook A has pages A1, A2, A3.
    Notebook B has pages B1, B2, B3.

    Now, I can twin page A2 into Notebook B, so its pages become
    B1, B2, A2, B3. Notebook A remain as A1,A2,A3

    After twinning, Whatever changes made in NotebookB, page A2 will be reflected in Notebook A and vice versa.

  8. Currently in Windows 11 if you have a laptop that can work in portrait mode, GoodNotes only allows you to view notes only. It would be nice to be able to edit/create notes in portrait mode instead of only in landscape mode when using a windows tablet in portrait mode.

  9. We can edit what we want to do with the gesture. For example, a two-finger single tap can do something, and two fingers double taps can do something. For myself, I like to undo with two fingers single tap (I always forgot when I use different apps like procreate...)

  10. Since the beginning it is only possible to have 3 colours for immediate access while writing. The field where they are would be big enough to host 5 colours, without making the section bigger. It makes the usage way more convenient to be able choosing 2 more colours without having to replace the others in the preselection.

  11. Can we have more default paper template, and more sizes for them? It will be great to have small medium and large three sizes

  13. I wish I could remove all the annotations in one document by ONE CLICK!

    I guess that is too much request...rather, simple feature other apps provide.

  15. If you're not going to try to add voice recording to goodnotes, I think it would be just as helpful to add the ability to link websites, or paste videos into the notes the same way you'd attach a picture. GIFs would be fascinating as well.

  17. it would be nice for colour palettes to be shared across tools so that we don't have to add the same colour multiple times for each tool's palette.

  18. The Lasso Tool should be integrated into the Zoom Window. I believe this feature would be useful to many others who are accustomed to using the Zoom Window for normal writing. It's tedious to have to exit the window just to move objects around, change the color, or other common tasks using the lasso. Being able to utilize the lasso without having to exit the Zoom Window every time would just increase ease of use.

    Thanks!

  20. your app is great
    could you make it possible to turn off automatic document centering? I need to move the document to the left so that the edge of the sheet does not rest against the edge of the tablet. it is very inconvenient to have the hand rest on the edge while writing.
    here is how it is implemented in procreate:
