  1. I always use goodnotes in math class. If I use a ruler as an image and then want to rotate it, the scale changes. this is very bad for a ruler. it would be a very good improvement of goodnotes if i could fix graphics so that the scaling no longer changes when you rotate them.

  2. I see a few requests for larger buttons in specific use cases. I’d like to see larger tap targets overall, wherever possible. The aim would be to make less mistakes, reduce the concentration required to perform an action, and help people with less steady hands or thicker fingers. I was thinking that across the top, there is plenty of room to create more space between the icons. Maybe it gets tight on smaller iPads. Maybe not. But either way perhaps the spacing could be a little more dynamic, or larger for larger iPads. Not exactly a feature but something to…

  3. I only use Ipad - which I hate - for GoodNotes. I would gladly pay $30 for a Windows version to use on a Microsoft Surface. Please make a Windows version and free us from Apple.

  4. Hello GoodNotes Team,

    I'm a teacher and we are currently testing tablet-classes (iPads). I asked my student to create a GoodNotes document for my lessons and share it with my, for me to view their notes. Now comes my suggestion, could you add a function to create folder in which shared-documents can be sorted/moved? That way I could sort them by class/subject, which would make it clearly arranged and much easier to find a specific shared-document.

  8. We use goodnotes in school and its hard to like read a text and do notes at the same time, because you have to switch pages every 2 seconds. Thats why i would be nice to have, this zoom-handwriting thing to work at the another page, while you reading at a page.

  9. GoodNotes should implement a feature to filter out only pages with annotation, side by side with the outlines menu.
    This would be much more convenient when reviewing large documents and e-textbooks.

  10. Dear GoodNotes team, please improve the formatting of written text so that it is placed correctly on a page (e.g. like in Notion or Microsoft Word). I crave for such an improvement, as it would be the solution to the only problem I have with GoodNotes!
    Thank you!

  12. I write text, but want to delete it so use the eraser function. When I remove my apple pencil off the page, it goes back to write function (pen) automatically. Great feature

    I write text. I now highlight the text using the highlighter function on GoodNotes. But it stays on the highlighter function so I have to click back to the pen function to continue writing.

    Why can the highlighter function work like the eraser function in reverting back to pen mode automatically

  14. I love good notes, but, unfortunately, the tool bar enables us to only use three colours which makes the process of changing colours quite tedious. I also think the toolbar takes up a lot of paper space, especially if you use more than one tab. It would be fantastic if you guys implement these changes.

    Below I have attached my designs:

  17. 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…

  18. 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.

  19. I often practice for exams with my children. When doing that we take or get pictures or pdfs from the teaching material.

    Today we import each of those a picture, scale it to fit the page and then work with it.

    It would be amazing if we could create a new Notebook by selecting any number of photos and have them imported as a new background.

    It would be almost as good if it could automatically scale the picture to match the page. The reason to have it as background is that we never want anything to be behind it.…
