  1. When working on math it is very common to have a formula that you need to reference often. At the moment we always just have to either zoom out, or keep scrolling back to the section we wrote it in.

    It would be great if we could do some kind of rectangular selection and have just that section of the page become a floating popup window (perhaps as a small square on the opposite side of our writing hand?) showing the contents that we selected, so that we dont have to keep awkwardly navigating through all the pages.

    And maybe…

  2. I want to customize the order of Apple Pencil quick bar. Currently, Customizing tool bar(not Apple pencil quick bar) is available, but not Apple pencil quick bar.
    I use Lasso tool a lot, but at quick bar, it's way to far to approach on it.

  4. Hi everyone,
    I’d like to report a limitation I’ve noticed when working with shapes in Goodnotes and ask if others feel the same.

    When drawing or editing shapes such as circles, squares, and lines, there is currently no snapping or anchoring system. This makes it difficult to align shapes precisely or connect them to each other.

    In particular:

    There are no visible reference points (such as center points, midpoints, or edge anchors).

    It’s hard to find the exact center of a circle or square.

    Aligning shapes or connecting lines to other shapes requires a lot of manual adjustment and is…

  5. Currently, the Eraser Function and Writing Tools are two different tabs. This disrupts the continuous flow of writing, as users have to frequently toggle between two different tabs. This issue is especially vital as the tabs are at a higher eye level, thus users have to take some moments to locate, and select the eraser function when needed, which also causes users to mistakenly tap onto another mini tab.

    This brings about inconvenience to users, especially since the flow of thoughts is disrupted.

    Thus, I would propose shifting the position of the eraser function into the writing tools tab. This…

  6. Lock images so that when I write on them they do not move around. Also the general ability to lock certain layers and things so when I erase not everything deletes.

  8. Hello, I really enjoy your site. I work at a community college with students with disabilities and I refer students often. I noticed when I ran your site through wave.webaim.org and there were a few areas that could be easily fixed. I am requesting that you use the site to improve the accessibility.

  9. When I squeeze the Apple Pencil Pro, the floating toolbar (Palette) appears. It currently contains many tools I rarely use, while the Lasso tool — which I use constantly — is placed almost at the end of the list.
    Please add an option to customize/reorder the tools in the Apple Pencil Pro squeeze toolbar (Palette).

    1. The text tool should be pinned all the time and not having to pin it each time.

    2. A lock function or layer function. Noteful has this and they are significantly cheaper than goodnotes.

    3. Move the stupid back button back on the toolbar. It takes up space for my document. And covers the document. For us digital planner people the space is important.

  12. We really need to provide an online image feature similar to the one shown in the picture. It needs to be like a GIF, and it's very much needed.

    1. I would like a dedicated section for all audio recordings linked in one area instead of only being able to hunt them down in a bunch of different folders. Also provide a pathway to show where the audio was stored.
    2. Option to select a specific audio instead of just the running audio.
    3. Easier way to export audio

  13. Ich fände es super, wenn man beim Bearbeiten mehrere Seiten gleichzeitig anschauen könnte. Es würde bereits helfen, wenn man aufeinanderfolgende Seiten nebeneinander hat. Noch besser wäre es allerdings, wenn man ohne, dass sich die Reihenfolge ändert auch bspw. immer die letzte Seite mit sichtbar hat.
    An einem Beispiel wird es vielleicht deutlicher:
    Ich korrigiere viele Aufgaben und habe auf der letzten Seite meinen Erwartungshorizont in den ich für jede Aufgabe Notizen mache. Aktuell muss ich immer auf die letzte Seite scrollen und wieder zurück. Da die richtige Stelle zu finden dauert teilweise relativ lange. Wenn ich aber die letzte Seite…

  14. An option to manually set the rotation of fountain pen tip. When you turn off the recognize pen rotation option, which is a nice feature, it sets in an oblique angle. It would be nice to be able to manually rotate the pen tip and set it whichever angle you want it.

  15. Gerade ist es so, dass wenn ich eine PDF eingefügt habe ich nur sehr umständlich
    einzelne Wörter markieren kann um diese dann z.B. zu kopieren.

    Ich muss erst das Textfeld erstellen Symbol auswählen
    Dann kurz die linke Maustaste gedrückt halten und kann dann erst markieren.
    Und wenn ich das Wort dann markiert habe funktioniert die Tastenkombination Str + C nur bedingt.

    Und außerdem ist es sehr schwer die richtige Zeit zum Mauszeiger bewegen zu finden da oft einfach ein Textfeld erstellt wird oder garnicht markiert.
    (Keine Ahnung wieso das so kompliziert ist)

    Kann ich nicht einfach wie in einer PDF…

  16. Post making a study Set of any Main Topic, which which will have ‘n’ number of subtopics. But the next day when we get notification to study our study set, and when we open it, it gives us prompts showing one of the subtopics. If we don't want to answer it, if we want to skip it, there is NO option of "Skip".

    If we close our Study Set and open it again, we will again be given the same subtopic which we have shown earlier which we wanted to skip earlier. There is no switching to a new subtopic.

  18. I would like to report an issue I’m experiencing while editing text on the iPad version of your app.

    When I select or edit a text box, the floating formatting toolbar appears directly over the text I’m working on. This makes it difficult to see the content underneath, especially when the text box is near the top of the page. The toolbar does not automatically reposition, and I cannot move it manually, so it constantly blocks my view.
