  1. I use GoodNotes on iPadOS for marking students' work. I normally have the files in a folder "To Mark" and once I mark them I move them to a folder "Marked". I do so by clicking on the name of the document and choosing "Move to a Different Folder" in the menu that opens up. Alas, every time I do this, the file browser starts at the top of the hierarchy. It would very convenient if GoodNotes would default to the previously used folder. It would save me (# students) x 4 clicks!!

  2. Sometimes when I read and take notes on lecture PowerPoint pdf on GoodNotes, I feel like the pages display are too big (I used an iPad Pro) esp when the content on the slides is not very compact. So I wonder if it’s possible to set how the pdf to be displayed, like for horizontal it can be set to 2x2, 3x2. Or for vertical, it can be set to 2x4, 2x6, or even 3x4 etc instead? To be able to view more pages at a glimpse like the outlines and also able to actually read the content would be…

  3. I am constantly taking screenshots when I do research and I'm looking to gather them together into a notebook. I want to quickly paste screenshots into the notebook and also be able to add my personal notes next to them or directly on them. I wish I could do this immediately after taking the screenshot without having to go to my gallery to upload the image into GoodNotes. This will allow me to maintain my train of thought better and it will be less tedious. It will make my workflow much more effective. Since right now I have to go…

  4. Adding a page in GoodNotes currently, you just pull at the end of a notebook as if you are navigating to a new page.

    Imagine if pulling to add a new page had the option to duplicate the current page or changing the page template.

  7. When I select some writing with the lasso tool in Goodnotes, there is an option to change the color of the writing.

    In Notability you can also edit the line weights to make the pen strokes thicker or thinner.

    Could an option to edit line weight be added?

  9. Hello, I'm using GoodNotes to organize the pdfs for my grad school classes and wanted to make two feature requests:

    1. Please make the character length for document titles longer on Mac and iPadOS. When dealing with multiple documents from the same author in a single folder, it quickly becomes confusing because there is very little room to display the document name. I can understand this limitation on iPhone, but it should not be an issue on a Mac.

    1. Would an integration with Zotero (Mac app only, sadly) be possible? Ideally, I'd imagine a workflow where I can use…

  10. It woud be very helpful to have the opportunity to use your fingers navigate in more ways. A) For instants, use (starting from full page) 'zoom-out' with 2 or 3 finger to get to overview like the 4-square-icon does, with-out opening a new overlay windows. B) use 2 or 3 fingers to swipe faster through pages in a way the pages will move from the stack of pages.

  12. I can't use it on my iMac because it is an older version but I would truly appreciate a website version with sync capacity even if it didn't carry some of the app features

  18. Please provide a way to decrease the size of the PDF's. I mark student work all the time sent to me from iOS devices - the only ones that I can not seem to decrease the size of using every technique in my arsenal are ones from GOODNOTES - inside I am saying, "BADNOTES, BADNOTES" - please fix this - thanks. For example the builtin DOC scanner in the iOS notes creates PDF's that are a very reasonable size. Thanks

  20. When do handwritten notes direct on a landscape oriented page (in big paper formats like A3) there is no room on the right to scroll out of the page, having enough space that my hand stays on the iPad so that I can continue writhing.
    Example: When you use a horizontal A4 page and zoom in that you can straight write on the page you can move the page more and more to the right while you are filling the paper. Once you are reaching 2/3 of the page you can still continue scrolling right and there will be this…
