  1. Have the option to zoom in the collections to verify the stickers instead of posting each one to find the one that I'm looking. It would be great if can be in the Mac app and iPad app.

  3. I work as a civil engineer in a paperless office. I have to deal with a lot of construction plans and for me it is important to be able to take measurements from those plans or draw in exact measurements. So I would be very pleased if a ruler, which can be set to a certain scale (e.g. 1:50) could be added to GoodNotes. Currently I have to resort to a pdf-software on my PC, which disrupts the workflow.

  5. When writing while holding the iPad in portrait or landscape mode I often rest my land on the screen to leverage. As approachthe second vertical half of the page I run out of room and have to comfort my hand which causes a great deal of strain. Attempting to scroll further beyond the page boundary rubberbands, with no effect. Is like to be able to over-scrolljust under half a page so that i can fill the sheet similar to how scribble Let's me over-scroll in this basic textarea field on you support form.

    Thanks.

  7. Would like to be able to add a template for larger paper

    At present, the largest paper template is a tabloid, but due to the nature of the work, I am used to thinking and recording on larger paper. In other recording apps, there are 300 times the size, such as "Unlimited Draft". Although I don't need such a large paper, I still hope There are larger paper templates, such as large newspaper templates or modules that are several times or even ten times larger than the current tabloid. Thanks.

  8. I type or dictate my notes, so they are typed on my mac.
    It would be nice to be able to do an outline format for my notes.

    this is a pain in goodnotes and since I don't just use it as a planner but a notetaking app it is something that is critical.

    I've actually started checking out other apps for class and bsns notes.

  9. If you write a text and just want to move one word / sentence, you have to be very careful that your selection doesn’t touch other parts you don’t want to select.
    It would be great if GoodNotes could figure out, what you want to select. The Apple Notes App does this.

  10. I wish I could change the color of the file on the main screen to something other than blue. It would be cool to change the color I chose myself. It's time to distinguish between all files....

  11. A mode in which the app zooms in to a certain proximity so that 1 cm on the device‘s display is actually 1 cm of the document.

  13. Pull to Add Page is a great feature. However, in my case it seems to always duplicate the last page in the document. But that doesn't seem to make sense. For example, why - if I have marked up an image in GoodNotes, - would I want to duplicate it? Then I just have another page that is the same as the one before it.

    So I find myself constantly pulling to add page, and then having to delete the newly created (duplicate) page, and then I have to go up to the dropdown menu and choose the template. It…

  14. Dear GoodNotes Team,

    I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to you today to suggest a new feature that I believe would greatly benefit your users. Specifically, I would like to propose the integration of a sorting function in the app that would allow users to easily sort and find their notes by day, week, or month.

    As someone who uses GoodNotes frequently for note-taking and organization, I often find myself sifting through my notes to find specific information from a certain day or week. I believe that by adding a sorting feature or allowing users to…

  15. How about a stats which tell
    1.how much pen did you use
    2. Which pen colour did you use the most and
    3 what percentage you use eraser and pencil and highlighter
    4 and which notebook did you used the most and how many times
    5 how many letters you typed
    6 how many strokes you deleted

    There is literally endless possibilities of what you can add to stats.

  16. The option for infinite pages like Onenote would be amazing! I find being able to scribble out ideas for mind mapping really helps me with my ADHD.
    The ability to print it out later would be great as well, perhaps in the form of light outlines in the background on the template so we can visualise where all of the writting is going, or an auto suggestion?

    I love how CollaNote allows you to have multiple pen/highlighter options on the side of the page instead of the top bar. That would be reallly really helpful as well as I colour…

  17. The default iOS Split-screen mode is not enough. I’m an English major from China , and have heavy using needs on GoodNotes for long English articles .it would be super convenient if I can split my screen up and down like I’m notability, it would help me easily match the Chinese translation with original English text and take notes .

    The reason why I require this is because in terms of marking and highlighting sentences with pen and shapes , Notability is inferior to GoodNotes . If this function can be added , it’ll completely change me into a full-time…

  18. Very specific problem, but on a shared document, lets say I write something, and the person I am sharing with wrote something in the same area without me knowing and it hadn’t uploaded yet, once their work finally loads, it covers mine. However, since I have already moved on to other areas of the document, I can’t simply undo the work I did during that previous time or at that area of the document… I wish there was a way to select the undo function for a specific time in the editing history or maybe even placement on the doc…

  20. Hello! Thanks for the great app. It would be really cool to add a third scrolling mode: instant slide switching. This is sorely lacking. When I make podcasts, I have to erase in the reverse order, and return the elements as the podcast progresses. Switching (seamless) would be much easier
