  1. Make a way for people to vote for the mod response as an appropriate solution.
    For example, the person requesting a calculator in app. The mod pointed out you can swipe and split the screen with a calculator, and that’s a brilliant idea I didn’t think of. I
    There’s no need for GoodNotes to develop and in app calculator, this would be a waste of the GoodNotes teams time and resources, and a waste of storage space on my iPad adding this feature to GoodNotes.
    I want to be able to vote and say the mods response is so great…

  3. I have a lot of pages in my notebook, and to go to some older page I have scroll all the way there. It would be nice to have (like a pdf) pages minutares and possibility to click on the minutare in order to go there.

  4. This has been brought up a bunch of times in the past couple of years and I don’t see any admin responses to any posts.. why not add a feature that lets you drag and drop text/ images to the next page within the same document?

  5. In the "More" (i.e. ...) section, we can see the current page number and it would be practical to have "Go To Page" just below. I also wish to suggest adding some space, perhaps a section title, and group together "Clear Page" and "Move Page to Trash". I very frequently use "Go To Page" and always have to be careful to be precise so I don't accidentally press "Clear Page".

  6. Having a small toolbar on the side that contains user’s favorite pens, highlighter, etc… will be able to add new colors to the favorite bar, and able to adjust the order of the pens on the favorite bar.

  7. When in read-only mode, the two finger double tap gesture to undo still works. I suggest that this undo gesture is disabled when not in edit mode.

  8. Would be nice to have an "insert line" option/feature like in Apple notes. It's frustrating not being able to go back and add additional notes to certain pages.

  9. To make them decent looking it would be good if there would be flashcards with linings, dotted etc. thus improving the handwriting and keeping one look at all notes (for the visual lerners)

    Linierte, karierte, gepunktete Lernkarten für ordentlichere Notizen und Fortführung bisher genutzter Formate der Lernunterlagen

  11. I often need to change scrolling direction due to the fact that this setting cannot be applied to each document independently.
    Therefore, it would really help if the scrolling direction menu item was a simple toggle button, which would make perfect sense since there are only two options and so it is totally unnecessary to dive further in the menu settings to be able to change it.

  12. It would be amazing if text colour and size can be changed through keyboard shortcuts, and more advanced text features like Markdown can be brought in here. (Please learn from google docs and notion - thanks!)

  13. When Scanning for example an A4 document, it is „placed“ on the GoodNotes standard aspect ratio, creating white unused space next to it. It would be nice to either be able to select the aspect ratio or that the document is simply imported just like a normal photo (not placed on any white background with the wrong aspect ratio)
    Thank you very much :)

  14. Allow for hashtagging (much like Apple Notes). This allows for easy searches, etc. GoodNotes is great, but hashtags will make it better!

  15. Hi, passion planner release a digital version of their planner (www.passionplanner.com), they recommand to use goodnote 5 to have the best experience. I love your app and my passion planner, but it will be very very veryyyyyy usefull, for a person with ADHD (me :D), to have a notification calendar function in goodnote 5. Even for other fonction in goodnote 5, like flashcard and notebook. Sorry for my bad english writing, is not my first langage.

    Thanks you :)

  16. I would like to be able to change the angle at the end of a curved line and not just the position of the end point. I used to have a similar tool in Adobe Illustrator. I find myself often wishing for something similar in GoodNotes. I would be able to draw a wider range of curves and I do not think it would be so difficult to implement. In addition to the small square icon that one can reposition, I would add a kind of thin line (directed like the tangent of the curve at the "square" point with,…

  17. hello everyone!
    we have some ideas for GoodNotes. First of all, we find a protractor very helpful for mathematics lessons. Next, a kind of pen, so that we can choose a color on a picture or paper and then paint or write with this color (I really hope you understood!)
    Have a good day!

  19. Highlighting with dark papers is currently bad. It goes over/on the text and it makes it harder to read.

  20. Every time you enter a Text into a text field and leave this particular text field, and create a new one at a different place. The previous configurations about the text field are set back to standard, and don’t stay the way you set it.

    This is really inconvenient, because if you want to create a note with various text fields which are all in the same style, you have to configure the text settings again and again for every text field
