  2. Please add an undo button on Mac, it annoys me to have to be careful all the time because there is not an undo button for some reason.

  3. I currently „struggle“ a lot with this.
    What I mean is, it would be nice if you are able to cut of the end of your paper. For example, in school you have to work on a task and write something down but the next task is a document. Then there’s a lot of space between the handwritten task and the document.
    It would be great if you could be able to shorten the page and not just change the layout, because I often don‘t know in the beginning if I have to use a whole page or just a…

  4. Add a keyboard echo so users can hear what they are typing.

    Please consider (even if votes are not as high as other requests) as this would help low vision users. A student I work with would benefit greatly from this.

  5. A feature that would allow you to put transparent lines/ grid over any page and can be added and removed when needed to assist with note taking. This would be incredibly helpful when annotating imported documents such as powerpoint slides. The feature would help people make their notes neat and tidy.

  6. to import ppt or PowerPoint file to The goodnote, we need to convert it to PDF then import them, for ease of use, it's good to import it directly and good note convert it to pdf automatically.

  7. Add a feature, so that the pen size stays the same pixel amount, no matter how much the user zooms in, similar to how the rubber always looks like the same size.
    I am so confused not to have found a lot of this request before, since i really get annoyed of not having this function.
    Whenever i zoom in, in order to write something in a smaller space, i would really appreciate not having to change the pen width/size manually.

    Besides that i really like your App :)

  8. When we left-handed people (and i guess it’s the same problem for right-handed people at the right side of the page) write on goodnotes , we cannot rest the left hand on the screen of the ipad while writing when beginning a sentence, because the paper cannot be moved around. So our hand is always partly on the edge of the ipad partly on the table.

    So if it was possible to pull and push the paper around on the ipad as we want, we could calmly rest our left hand on the screen when writing. To understand what i…

  9. In comparison to Safari there is always this bug, that when i import a pdf-document from the chrome browser, it often won’t be the usual size, but it is too small. Can be seen in the picture.

  10. After updating the feature for editing stickers is gone. It used to be able to lengthen/ widen the stickers given, now I can only enlarge the whole thing and it does not fit with my notes from time to time.
    there's also issues with the element function, sometimes after deleting one and adding another the previous one would pop up and I cant select to delete it again :/.
    It would be good to have a library of stickers or list of our stickers so we can add in or remove them by group. Able to change the colours of…

  12. Animal/veterinary science does not fit within the biology or medicine categories as it is a separate field entirely. Would be nice to have a specific displine category to upload my notes to and would make it easier for others in this field to find and contribute notes.

  14. I would like to have GoodNotes keep the page-zoom as I had when I changed from GoodNotes to another app on my Ipad Pro. Now the page will zoom out again if I switch from GoodNotes to another app and back. Or if I switch between 2 GoodNotes windows

  15. Add a button allowing the users to turn off the shortcut of drag to duplicate the text box function. As most of the time I want to drag the text box elsewhere, but it keeps duplicating. It can be resolved by tapping on the text box instead of holding it if you are typing with the keyboard on the screen. But if you are connected to a hardware keyboard, trackpad or mouse, it will long hold automatically instead of tapping when trying to move the text box.

    It would be more convenient to keep my hands on the keyboard to…
