  1. *no send to back/bring to front options
    *no table creation options
    *no way of editing hyperlinks within goodnotes, you have to do it externally
    *no layer tool (adding this would solve the send to back issue)
    *no opacity settings for pens
    *no bullet point options for typing

    These are such basic tools in other apps and I’m actually astounded GoodNotes does not have them. Even word 2007 had some of these options, let’s not pretend they’re innovative tools. Without them GoodNotes is frustrating to use and frankly just a poor way of organising information, I really expect better, come on…

  2. In Goodnotes you can only list documents by last date you changed the document, name etc., but you cannot list documents by the date you create this document.You cannot see the creation date and you cannot search for it, too. But for school and university this is so important to be organised. Because of this problem I stopped using my Ipad for university.

  3. When I turn on "low power mode" screen turn off after a short while. If tgere was an option to keep tge screen awake when goodnotes is open, it would be a pleasure.

  4. When 'Mirror Presenter Page' or 'Mirror Full Page' is active, it would be useful to be able to progressively reveal elements.

    I imagine this would be grouped with the laser pointer tool and when selected would dim or reduce the opacity of all elements on the page in the device view but hide them on the external display. The tool would then function like the inverse of the eraser (stroke, standard or precision, different pen sizes) to reveal the elements. Selecting another tool would reveal all elements again (no saved state) and selecting another page while the reveal tool is…

  8. While studying flashcards i often realise I've made a mistake while initially making it. It would be so so useful if there was an option to edit the cards while in study mode. Would make the flashcard feature way more efficient!

  9. I'm unable to add a template with multiple pages. Not allowing this makes it where I cannot use the auto-zoom feature because it zooms too far down and cannot be adjusted unless it's a template. PLEASE FIX!

  11. Goodnotes should add more shortcuts for Macbook users. For example to hide or show sidebar, or to transfer from reading type to annotation type.

  12. I find myself opening up many notes at once, sometimes it leads to accidentally deleting some notes and I have to find them to re-open them again. If it were possible to have this function, I think it would be nice. A function similar to how google chrome on pc works, we can group tabs on chrome pc. I’m not really sure about chrome on iPad but if it were possible to use that type of technology with GoodNotes I think it would be helpful.

  13. please add a feature where the ball pen has a tip sharpness, i dislike the way it looks and enjoy that more rigid writing style without the added pressure, such as the fountain pen

  15. To improve the accuracy of handwriting searches, it would be ideal if the user could edit the recognition results to some extent.
    My handwriting is clean, but sometimes there are spaces in words such as English words, and when this happens, they are not found in searches.
    Also, no matter how many times I rewrite my handwriting, it is always different in GOOD NOTES, so I can't search for it.
    I am a Japanese speaker, so I use hiragana, kanji, and katakana, and I sometimes write in English and other languages. I expect it would be difficult to recognize them…

  16. Problem: I’m used to write down a few sentences as P.S. on original pdf files. When I export the edited file as pdf its size increases ~ 800%.

    Solution: Algorithm optimization for compression for simple editing on already original files.

  17. Problem: sending pdf files to GoodNotes via e-mail the home screen is updated with new files and pdf extension is added to the file’s name, what it turns out to be MyFileName.pdf.pdf when the edited pdf file is exported.

    Solution: Adding a favicon to the top left indicating it’s a pdf file and removing the .pdf from file’s name itself.

  18. Currently, I have to use several different apps to take my notes and go through the annoying process of sharing back and forth via Google Drive or some other convoluted method.

    Please include PC compatibility for note-taking (not just viewing) and a cloud sync to avoid issues with transferring notes back and forth. See sites such as Canva that already do this. Honestly, sometimes I just use Canva for taking notes since at least I can control text formatting, grouping and locking, and cloud sync.

  20. When studying flashcards on iOS, the card is severely minimized to the point where the text can’t be read. Not all people use flashcards for single words or short texts. It’d be better for the whole question portion to be maximized in full screen when studying the flashcards in landscape mode, then have the answer show up in fullscreen next.
