  1. The same colour and size is selected while annotating for Pen tool and Drawing Box/circle/shape tool by default . I hope the team works on this in future updates and lets users have separate colours for each tool and not necessarily default choice, so each time we switch tools it doesn’t hamper the flow

  2. Especially University Students will have to use f.e. Excel Files saved on OneDrive or Websites in their studies.

    It would be nice to be able to embed OneDrive links or Internet-Hyperlinks as Elements in Goodnotes folders, so that you have every data related to your studies in one place and in one view.

    Suggestion:
    When creating an element in GoodNotes, we use the „+“sign on the top left.
    One of the Options shown could be „Embed Link“.
    There can then be an interface to enter the link and choose a Name for the Element.
    Maybe let us also choose/customize the…

  4. My suggestion is to add a feature that enables changing the size, font, color etc of individual words within the same text box, without affecting the formatting of the entire text. This would provide more flexibility and precision in formatting text, and make it easier to create professional-looking documents.

  5. Hello, everyone! I'd like to recommend you https://getmp3.pro, a program that allows you to easily convert any YouTube video to MP3 format. I use it to download music to my phone and it's really convenient and free. I also really like that the service works very fast and without any restrictions. If you love listening to music, you should definitely try this service! It will make your life one step easier and more enjoyable.

  6. I’m left handed and purchase my digital planners in portrait mode. When I write on GoodNotes I flip my iPad to landscape. When flipping to landscape I do lock my screen on the iPad but I’d also like to lock the document itself. When you purchase a portrait planner and flip to landscape the orientation is small so you have to zoom in, but when doing so the page can still move around. Please offer an option to lock the document.

  7. when resizing handwriting or images, allowing the user to snap back to the original size would be helpful as some people may only want to rotate/change orientation of the object without changing size.

  9. I read a lot of papers from Arxiv, which are of the form https://arxiv.org/pdf/XXXXXXXX.pdf

    I would like to import a pdf to read directly from the link. Right now, I have to download the paper, store it in hard drive, import it in Goodnotes, then delete the file. This creates unnecessary steps and I have to delete the files later anyways. Would be great if I could import pdf directly from a link that links to a pdf.

    In OneNote, I can directly import pdf to OneNote notebook using a Chrome extension.

  10. After I selected OneDrive, it showed a blank page when I logged in, and there were no response. No matter how long it waits, it won't be able to successfully log into my OneDrive account.

  11. When in the pen tool with pressure sensitivity scaled to absolute minimum there is still a pressure sensitivity, at the very end of the scale there should be an option for zero sensitivity, whatever I have selected for line thickness is exactly how it comes out!!

  13. It would be great if it could be an option to remove the little green icon that reminds you to study the flashcards. After an exam is done I still want them there but I’m not going to revise anymore and the fact that the icon appears on the whole folder is distracting.

  15. So Im Using GoodNotes for some time now and imo there is some Features missing:

    • Color Picking tool (tap on the color to copy it and use it on a pen or marker till its being changed)
    • Mathsymbol Converter or Mathsymbolpaster
    • Advanced Drawing mode:
      • Dotted Lines/Objects Mode
      • Drawing Symmetric Courves without adding them together
      • Aligning Lines
      • rotating Drawings without changing their Size
      • Layering [Would also be nice for studying with the folders to make some sort of "Tap on the field to show solution" outside of the learning cards]
    • Optimized Textfields:
      • single field
      • Squared area

    And if its possible to…

  17. I would like to if the handwriting into text box which automatically changes the handwriting would be possible all the time (i dont have apple pencil so no scribble). You could add it to the setting so the writer could choose if they want it automatically changed or not. Also maybe if i could use the text boxes with zoom because it is easier to write like that. It changes my handwriting into the text box while using zoom feature but the words dont show up and they disappear.

    1. Es fehlt ein button mit dem man alle geöffneten Seiten auf einmal schliessen kann.
    2. Bilder sollten durch ziehen einfacher auf die selbe Grösse des schon eingefügten Bildes gebracht werden können. (Auf dieselbe Grösse snapen)
