  2. It would be very helpful to see the size (in MB, GB, etc.) of each note/document/folder/notebook in GoodNotes. That way, we can see which files can be deleted to recover more space on our devices and on iCloud.

  3. A eye dropper for the pen and high lighter because a lot of people use this app to study or for calendars (including myself) and some people like to group things with high lighters or underline and it’s pretty hard going back and checking if you got the right color or if it’s slightly lighter or darker especially with the highlights

  5. GoodNotes automatically organizes documents by Date, Name or Type. Since I have so many documents, it can be hard to find what I'm looking for or what I use the most. For example, I would prefer to have my Planner as the #1 document, but it's not possible since I use other documents intermittently (Date), my planner is not first alphabetically (Name) and my folders always come first (Type). If I could just click and drag where I'd like my documents, I would be able to organize my space much better.

  6. Since we have vertical scroll, i would like to see an option for chapter scrolling.
    For Example: If vertical scroll is enabled (for pages), you can use horizontal scroll for scrolling through chapters. If pages scroll horizontal, chapters could scroll vertical.

    Together with page links - i think - this could be a great boost for structuring notebooks and usability.

    This may include the creations of chapters or - if not possible - using outlines (as "start" of chapters)

  7. I'm a medical student and I spent hours upon hours on this app.
    Few critical suggestions to help my time-management
    1. Specific search tool, to search within a folder or certain phrases when doing this "...", u know like the google search bar
    2. Audio speed, everyone keeps recommending it. So yeah obvious. Time management
    3. Sticky notes that can close and open when u click on them

    Those are the most important for now. I have some more in the back of my head, but those, oh boy... critical for a medstudent

  8. Now I am constantly reminded to study something that I no longer need. With a deadline for the flashcards function, the system would stop informing me when the exam was written.

  9. Dear GoodNotes 5 Developers,

    I hope this email finds you well. I am reaching out as a long-term user and fan of GoodNotes 5 to share some suggestions for potential app improvements. I have been using GoodNotes for over a year now, and I believe implementing the following features would greatly enhance the overall user experience:

    Addition of Dotted or Dash Stroke Styles: It would be fantastic to have the option of using dotted or dashed strokes while writing or drawing. These stroke styles can be beneficial for creating charts, diagrams, or for emphasizing certain elements within our notes. I…

  10. It would be useful to have the option of keeping a fixed line thickness when scaling. Proportional scaling as it is is great and very useful, but it would be good to have both. Say you have made up a bunch of graphs and saved them as stickers, you don't want the line thickness of the axes to scale with the overall size of the graph. I would find this feature useful in iOS/Mac as well.

    (If it's a headache to implement I'd rather GoodNotes stay unbloated.)

  11. I have one main issue that I encounter frequently when writing notes on my ipad. And thats when I run out of room to rest my palm when writing on the far right hand side of a page. My suggestion is to add the ability to scroll a bit past the page (say about a third) so that im able to properly write on the page without it auto aligning with the edge of the screen (I have included an example of what would be ideal). I personally use vertical scrolling and this idea would only work in this mode,…

  12. It would be great if the "Comment" allows handwritting in case the user prefers to have a better description of the "Comment" or else make references to equations and/or graphical elements without affecting the main document due to small margins or high density of information..

  13. The creation of the market place where we could buy the designs of other creators, which is a great chance to support creators. However other apps are required to design and build the functionality of these planners, as the necessary tools are not available within goodnotes. The addition the necessary tools to your app will allow individual users to design their own planners specific to their needs, will expand on the creativity and personalisation of the planners, expanding on who can create planners without needing other apps to do so.

  16. Let typing mode cover the full page instead of losing some space at the edges, especially at the top and bottom of a page.

  19. Its great that Goodnotes is using flash card and similar spaced repetition to ANKI. We need the ability to create and share flash cards between the windows PC and Ipad. So i can create flash cards on a windows pc and then sync to my ipad and vice versa.

  20. As a piano teacher, I use GoodNotes for my student's lesson assignments and refer to other pages within that document (e.g. scale fingerings see pg. 7, chord voicings see pg. 11, etc). It would be nice if the pages could be accessed via a link to them without having to scroll through 12 pages; and then, if I add a page and page 7 becomes page 8, the link automatically updates to the pages new position within the document. This would be a game changer!
