  2. I am joining the many who have requested a sticky note feature, hoping that GoodNotes will consider this request.

    I love how Goodnotes handles notebooks and flashcards so well, and I would like to be able to write sticky notes in GoodNotes. The template would be a stack of sticky notes that users "peel off" and place on other documents. Apple has something like this for their computers.

    There could be a "bulletin board" where sticky notes could be placed if they aren't being placed on other documents. The board could work like notebook paper, and users would need to…

  4. Hi! Sometimes I forget to stop the audio clip and it continues to record leaving me with so much wasted data space and unnecessary long clips that I can't edit or shorten. If we just had the feature to simply edit the audio clip, that would be AMAZING.

  5. I would like the ability to make larger font sizes.
    Currently, I view a A4 size and I double that so that I can see essentially 2 pages on one page.

    I would like the ability to make larger font sizes. Right now, the largest you can get is 200.

  6. Goodnotes lacks granular cloud backup options, limiting users' control over their data.

    Solution:

    Implement granular backup options to allow users to:

    Choose specific folders and files for backup
    Choose where the specific folders are stored withing the cloud
    Define individual backup schedules
    Exclude folders and files from backup

  7. Add the option to have no language selected for text recognition so you won't get the red dots under your handwriting in your own language

  8. Currently, Goodnotes only offers automatic backup of files and folders to the selected cloud storage provider. This is useful, but it does not allow for full synchronization of files that are directly added to the cloud. This can lead to inconsistencies between the files stored in Goodnotes and the files stored in the cloud.

    Solution:

    I propose a new feature that would allow users to fully synchronize their Goodnotes files and folders with the cloud. This would ensure that any changes made to files in Goodnotes are also reflected in the cloud, and vice versa.

  9. This one is simple! Please add a feature to zoom out of a page or powerpoint slide so that we can view one slide in a smaller frame than the screen size is. I don't like how the slide automatically fits the page without being able to zoom out a little to give space to edges/corners.

  10. I would like invisible notes. Would be great in GN-pages for preseting or teaching. Just an option for a text-field to mark it as invisble in the presentation oder "only visible on iPad".

  12. I want more features to be able to either filter or reorganize the items in my folder as I please instead of having the first item being the last thing I opened.

  13. Add the ability to program a gesture to rotate pen colors. I use multiple colors for my notes and this feature would save me SO MUCH time.

  15. I hate the thing that if you are searching for a note on a folder o if you exit by mistake while taking notes you must open a new file to return back in “notes mode”. Just add a “back to notes” button or make tabs view also available in search, documents, ecc pages!!

  16. Make android math convert available for android user.
    I tried to follow your instructions about the math convertor, and I didn't find this option for it in the android app (using tab S8+).

  17. Improve the overflow feature of typed notes so that if I go back and add more to an earlier page, it automatically flows down. Also allow for a header that repeats across multiple pages of typed notes (like in a notebook filled with notes for a semester worth of classes).

  18. I love you guys, but you seriously need to fix the shape drawing tool. There are currently (as far as I know) two ways of drawing shapes:

    1. Draw them quickly to get exactly what you drew: This is (almost) always imprecise for shapes like rectangles, since I obviously can't draw a rectangle consistently, so this is a non-starter for rectangles

    2. Draw them and hold for shape perfection: This is for some reason almost always turned into a circle or an ellipse which is incredibly frustrating.

  19. according to textbox:
    1. different border styles for textboxes (dotted, dashed, ...)
    2. textbox-shadows also on other sides, not just bottom (for example: just on the left side, ...)
    3. multiple favorites including line height for usage in different paper styles

    according to full-page-text-typing
    1. option to change the font and color of H1, etc. (for example: I want a blue headline and black text for my notes, so i can manually change this to the font and color I like and dont need to recolor after writing notes)
    2. multiple textboxes in different templates (for example: in the 2-columns-paper…
