  1. Leider vermisse ich die Funktion, dass man einzelne Notizbücher mit einem Passwort oder ähnlichem schützen kann.
    Oder, für mehrere Benutzer entsprechende Passagen Passwort schützen. Für diesen Preis sollte es möglich sein. Des weiteren vermisse ich noch eine Terminierungsfunktion. Dies ist gerade für die Zusammenarbeit mit mehreren Personen sehr wichtig, um Folgeabläufe steuern zu können. Ein direktes umwandeln von Handschriften in Maschinenschrift wäre auch noch sehr von Vorteil. Leider reagiert hier der Support nicht!

  3. When collaborating on documents, sometimes it may be necessary to make a copy to make individual annotations. However, making a copy will not keep other annotations up-to-date/synced with the master/main copy. Thus, a feature allowing users to “fork” a document and keep it synced while adding their own edits in their forked document would be useful. This is important and especially essential for educational settings where a teacher or project leader may wish to distribute a template version for individuals to edit, but keep annotations or edits updates on all copies.

    A further extension to this would be the ability…

  4. For small businesses, it is important to keep your intellectual properties to yourself.
    We spend countless hours creating spreads, and I want to restrict some parts of it so that the spreads cannot be manipulated but users can still write on the pdf and add pages. Sort of like flattening the spreads as a background image with links instead of shapes that can be extracted.
    However, when i restrict editing with a password in adobe reader, I have to type in the password before I can open the document in goodnotes. Is it possible to import the pdfs as a…

  5. Dears,

    I am a really satisfied user of GoodNotes5, but I really think that the app would be so much better if you allow the customers to create their personalized subsections of any file they are reading. As of today it is only possible to create Sections in the table of contents but there is no way to create Subsections which would allow users to navigate in a more structured way through their notes.

  6. I often prefer using the undo feature over switching to the eraser tool and requiring two taps per undo often makes it feel like I have to play a button-mashing Mario party mini game just to delete the last word I wrote.

  7. For note taking I usually use black, red, blue, and one other color. It's difficult to keep up with a professor with change one of the colors to the other. So I wish there was another color selection in the toolbar. Also, the option for more toolbar customization would be nice. I don't use some of the features all the time, so being able to hide them would be nice

  8. Would like to be able to use either a Bluetooth or USB (via adapter/receiver) presentation remote to advance slides in GoodNotes. Sometimes there are parts of the presentation that do not require annotation and it would be nice for instructors to be able to put the device down for a sec and still be able to advance pages/slides.

  9. I really like the Ultimate Study Planner, though I haven't used it, as I really can't work with the Sunday-Monday-Tuesday-...-Saturday format. Any chance that you can adapt this planner (and maybe also others that include this format of weekdays) for those who use Monday-Tuesday-...-Saturday-Sunday format?

  10. While we open a goodnotes shared link in browser tab (web), currently we have a plain title as "Goodnotes" for all the urls.

    It would be great if we set title as document name.

  11. As today we have only 03 colors & three pencils options to switch between. There’s space to at least the double of each in the toolbar.

  13. I'd love to see an option to add more than 3 pen colors as "quick-access". I often use up to six colors and it is quite displeasing that I have to switch them around so much. I added a screenshot to clarify what I mean by "quick-access".

  16. Page Turner doesn't work when using iPad Pro 12.9 3rd Generation 4th Generation.

    I heard that it sometimes works on iPad Pro 11 inch, iPad Pro 12.9 inch 5th generation M1, but it doesn't work on iPad Pro 12.9 inch 3rd generation 4th generation. I thought it might be a compatibility problem with the page turner, so I tested 4 units for each different type of page turner, but it doesn't work. A typical example is that it does not work with iRig Blue Turn products.

  18. I am autistic and have ADHD and I use Speechify to read out loud any documents that I read. I am studying an engineering degree and use GoodNotes for all my work. I would love if you could somehow include a Speechify extension in GoodNotes so I don’t have to use two devices.

  19. Ability to create outlines of documents like books , using AI rather than manually creating every single outline for easy accessibility of the subtopics or chapters within a document.

    Also the ability to copy and paste outlines from one document to another should be there.

  20. Currently when I search a keyword, it will show the search features of both my handwritten keywords + the typed keywords. But I want to search keywords quickly without showing the handwritten contents. In another words I can add some typed label for some sections header for clearer structure.

    Can the search function allow the options to search ONLY typed words?
