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

  3. 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.

  6. There are not more frustrating than take notes of a 1000 pages exam and for no reason, when i go back to re-reading some notes, know that some text or whole pages are disappeared, it think.
    If this app was a 8 with this problem become a 2..
    I've seen other users wrote about this problem, no answers.
    How it happen: for exemple after i wrote 30 pages and the last thing wrote is in 30th pages, if i push back button, disapper text in page 5.. I wrote 25pages after that.. why it go back in page 5?!

  8. I really love the new beta flashcards. I like that now studying takes up the whole page and that the cards seem to have more space to write on. However, I think it would be good if we didn’t have to tap to make the flashcard bigger in order to hardwrite, just like you don’t have to to type. It would be more efficient for the one making the flashcards. Also, there’s no option to easily scroll through the flashcards. In notebooks you can press the button with the squares and see all the pages quickly. I can’t use the…

  9. I didn't find another way to send a message to your guys, so I just write in here.

    I am an old user of goodnotes in Mac/ios/ipados, but recently I have to move my desktop platform to windows, I just signed up to beta waitlist, but I really need to use it right now

    Is it a way to give me a priority to use the window beta version? thank you

  10. For dark paper notebooks, it would be nice if when you press to type, the text is automatically white instead of black, that way you don't have to go up and change it manually every time. Or even just when you change text to white, the next time you make a new text box, it is automatically the last color you used, so; white.

  11. Working on my ipad and taking all of my notes on it, these tend to take up lots of storage, which i don’t mind on my ipad and i want to be able to access every notes even without internet on it.
    However, on my iphone, goodnotes syncs every notes and downloads them locally on my iphone which is problematic because it can quickly take up a lot of storage on the device when you only consult a few documents on your iPhone.

    It would be great if GoodNotes had a syncing option just like the one that iCloud Photos…

  12. Hi, it would be great if you could add the feature to customise colours for text too! Also to be able to change parts of the text block and not the whole block!

  14. I want to be able to use GoodNotes to read PDFs on my Mac. However, it isn't easy to highlight when reading a PDF. Notability has an option where you can hold the selected sentence, and it will highlight it for you. I would love for an option like this to be added to GoodNotes. In addition, selecting texts in PDFs is challenging.

  16. please make Goodnotes available for Android Tablets, it would be the best app for note-taking, especially with so many functions that benefits uni students. Nothing has to change, it can be the same as IOS just please make it happen 😭

  17. Currently, especially in portrait mode, you can barely zoom out of a document like you can on Notability, which is definitely a UX design oversight. At least have an option for this I'd say.

    This would especially be useful for math, where you often move back and forth upwards and downwards to reference previous content, but unfortunately with Goodnotes, you are unable to see large amounts of pages at the same time, or be able to scroll up and down many pages quickly due to lacking this feature.

  18. Currently, the toolbar remains purple, which can be distracting when everything else is white. It'd be good to be able to customise that colour to white or black or something more neutral or subtle, or even colour code the tool bar based on notebooks (like theme colour). its all about choices... and the purple right now shouldnt be the only option

    1. It would be nice if the function to change the handwriting into a pen, a paintbrush, and a fountain pen was added when the part of the handwriting was selected as a noose.

    2. When you choose the part you wrote as a noose, it would be good to change the thickness of the handwriting.

    3. I think it would be good to add a rectangular tool for noose as well as a free form.
