  2. The function of clicking on the picture to move this picture is too easy to touch by mistake. Please cancel this function. This function is really difficult to use.

  3. Digital planners would be near perfect on Goodnotes with this capability. The only think I see available is the option to basically manually import events from Goodnotes Digital Planners templates into a calendar. Having items from my calendar automatically put into my digital planner would be amazing as there are several apps that will automatically add to your apple calendar with permissions.

  4. By adding variables (for example a date variable), the user wouldn’t have to rewrite the date ever time.

  6. Make the setting global for (1) questions and (2) answers. Allow customization on each card. The global settings are more important than customization.

  8. when you use the select tool and use the color option, you should get the option to have multi-recolor, such that you can see each color used in the selected region and get the option to switch each color to another color manually, while also having an all - recolor option to change everything which we have now

    • It should be possible to fetch the desired color from the page, for example from an image.
    • Change the name of the audios, and have something that would appear if that specific page had an audio. | It was good to have an option where what we wrote during the audio didn't stay on the page, or that for example we could record the red pointer together with the audio.
    • The option to adjust the position of an object and "send to the back" or "bring to the front", also divert is possible.

  9. I am in management and use GoodNotes for many things including staffing. It would be great to be able to share documents that are ‘live’ with any updates that I make, without having to ‘reshare’ a link, BUT with a option to share in a VIEW ONLY MODE (so I can make changes that my staff can see in real time, but my staff not be able to make changes)

  11. We are an engineering office and work very intensively with GoodNotes to document construction sites. For this we insert many images into prepared documentation templates. In order to ensure a uniform layout, the images currently have to be inserted manually into the placeholders. Here we would like to have a scaling function (proportional and unproportional) in which the dimensions of the image can be specified numerically.

  12. I am loving the new typing mode, but an important limitation is it does not currently support writing test in at least two columns (even in the default two- and three-column templates).

    Furthermore, the potential workaround of "manually" making columns by tabulating the gap between the desired columns in each line does not work either: after a couple of tabs, the cursor immediately moves down to the next line.

    This would be especially useful for e.g. typing vocabulary lists in two languages (one per column) or making long lists with short entries more compact (in terms of numbers of pages).

  13. It is hard to edit the title when the notebook is opened because of the Split View window. It always prioritizes the Split View option menu, which makes it quite frustrating when trying to edit the title. Either make the title offset to the side or have a button that enables editing so it is not so close to the Split View button.

  14. I have a use case where it’d be useful to be able to link the scrolling of Goodnotes on two devices.

    I’d like it to be bi directional so which ever device you scroll on the other would follow.

    And conversely it’d be great to easily temporarily break the link and then link back up.

    One could extend the benefits of this by having one device viewing the outlines and jumping around and the second device hopping to key parts.

    Many thanks

  15. I have a suggestion that I think would make it even more useful for reading and taking notes. When I read a PDF document, I often come across references or links that take me to other pages within the document. This is especially useful when the text contains a reference number or symbol that I need to look up to fully understand the content.

    However, one thing that can be frustrating is when I follow a link to a new page and then want to return to the page I was reading before. In order to do this, I have…

  18. I wish there was a feature similar to the one on Notability that allows you to place a sticker over information that you are studying. When you tap the sticker, it reveals the information underneath. This would be helpful when studying diagrams or portions of your notes.
