  1. It would be great if you could save more than three colours for pen/highlighter. The space in the top right corner would be enough to save 5 colours. Would really help folks who study with highlighting in (many) different colours

  2. Add an option to horizontally flip all the templates to be used with right to left languages.
    As an example: Cornell notes with Hebrew should be flipped…

  3. Goodnotes highlighter palette sucks at opacity. It's like using a highlighter that is screaming in pain and is about to die out lol. I would have to rehighlight the entire line 5-6 times just to get my desired level of opacity and that really sucks as it causes distraction in flow while reading.

    About sharp straight end what I mean is to add a feature like OneNote. DEAR GN , REAL HIGHLIGHTERS HAVE SHARP ENDS NOT ROUNDED GLOBULAR ENDS. Please change these two features 🙏

  4. I use GoodNotes a lot to insert pictures of my lectures and make digital notes with pictures and I also use pictures to make digital presentation boards. Every time I insert a new picture, I have to manually adjust the size to match the previous picture that I inserted and it takes a lot of time wasted on unnecessary tasks. I was hoping if your software engineers team could code a feature that would show grids once you are at the exact same size if the pictures are being placed next to each other on the same page.

  6. The ability to have a function under Export page that not only exports the PDF but also the converted text in the body of an email would be great.

    The Remarkable 2 implements an element of this in one step and also Notes Plus implements this quite well.

    I take copious notes in all my meetings but then send to my PA to action highlighted actions straight after each meeting.

    It’s cumbersome in Good Notes currently, you have all the functionality ... just needs pulling together in one step.

  7. This very easy-to-add feature makes the life of PDF readers A LOT EASIER, by rapidly switching between pages when reading and allows them to pass up the annoying scrolling. It is featured by Notability. PLEASE make it happen!

  8. Since you are able to select multiple pngs to move at once, it seems logical that you should be able to resize multiple PNGs at once. Similarly, being able to drag multiple PNG files into a goodnotes notebook at once would be amazing ( I heard this was previously a feature that went away).

  9. When I use my Apple Pencil I can easily scroll through the PDF documents with my finger. That works just amazing! But I can not click links within the PDF to other pages in editing mode. This forces me to change to read mode and then click the link, go back to editing mode and start editing. This takes a tremendous amount of time if you use GoodNotes as a with a digital life planner.

    Thanks.

  10. The option to "favourite" a page can do this, but it would be much better if there was an option to mark a page as a "doubt". Or select a certain area and mark that as a "doubt". Also, if possible, a small caption option should also be there with the doubt and you could see all doubts in one place like the way we can see favourites. This would be very helpful when we get a doubt while revising and have to wait to ask somebody for clarification

  12. Add wide ruled options for the multi column templates. I love using the multicolumn templates when I'm taking notes but find the line spacing to be to narrow to be practical. I know I can zoom in but this takes away from me seeing the "big picture" (i.e., the other notes on the document) without constantly having to zoom in and out. It should be a relatively simple update, please make this happen!

  13. A highlighter option that changes the colour of your notes by just highlighting the text instead of using the colour option on the lasso tool.

    Would be very helpful as I no longer use the normal highlighter because it looks ugly.

  15. It would be really helpfull and way easier to be able to import colors for pens and highlighters instead having to type in every hex code! An eye dropper tool would be really nice too so that you can easily change colours :)

  17. I hate having to move my hand all the way to the top of the screen to change colors and then go back to the bottom of the screen to continue taking notes. I would like it so that I could just pop out the color tool bar and move it to the bottom of the screen so I can easily color-code my notes. Having it to the side would be useful as well.

    I attached an example of what it could look like.

  18. If It isn’t only picture also some movie can insert books ,that’s wonderful!It will be compressed size and adjusted duration while insert function by edit view. Movie size should be compressed to prevent it become big file size. This is great helping to business use. We can make more visible and easy understanding report to all. Movie duration is enough only 5sec.duration / pc.

  19. I'm a teacher and I use Goodnotes for marking many assessments seeing as we are largely remote nowadays, it would be nice to change the number of pages we see in each row (even if that means making the icons smaller). For example, in a test that was four pages long, I can bookmark the start of each new student's test and it lines up nicely, but if I am marking anything other than a four page test, it doesn't - if possible, it would be great to pick and choose how many pages are seen per row (like a…
