  2. So let's say I'm opening 20 different lectures on goodnotes at the same time as well as one file with a checklist of all my lectures. Once I finish I lecture I have to go searching and hunting around all my open tabs for that checklist file in order to tick that lecture off. It's very annoying. I really want to just pin that checklist file because its something I like to keep open on goodnotes all the time and its a document I need to return to all the time. Allow us to pin up to three tabs and…

  3. Please add Basque language for handwriting recognition and spellcheck. It’s an official EU language and many of us use GoodNotes daily, but without Basque support words keep being auto-corrected to Spanish. Adding Basque would greatly improve accessibility for Basque speakers.

  6. 언제부터인가 텍스트가 제대로 작성되지 않고 작성시에 블러처리된듯이 보입니다. 텍스트 주변 여백부도 너무 커졌어요. 작성완료후에 글은 잘 보이지만 작성시에는 글씨가 잘 보이지않습니다. 갑작스런 변화로 어딘가 에러가 나거나 했을것같은데 수정요청드립니다. 잘사용하던중에 갑작스런 상황에 어플삭제 후 재설치도 해보고 해볼만한건 다 해봤는데도 그대로입니다.

  7. When you toggle the squeeze to show color palette instead of tool palette in the stock setting app, squeezing doesnt do anything in goodnotes, but it does in the stock notes app,
    I'm not changing between tools opften, but i am changing colors often on the tool bar,

  9. I would appreciate if I could use the built-in timer without having it taking space of my paper. But if I do so, I don't get reminded when the timer stops... So please add a setting, where I can turn on a alert sound. Keep up the good work!

  10. Add layers to a page. It would allow users to work on layers above without accidentally moving items that should not move in background. Layers could be turned on/off as needed.

  11. With "Auto backup", it is possible to sync my documents as pdfs to my Google drive, which is really useful.
    But this also drains battery.
    I would like an option so that I can decide when to push my documents to Google Drive, instead of app doing it whenever it wants while I'm using it.

    Currently, I just disable auto backup and turn it back on every week, but this means it re-uploaded my entire library, which can take upwards of 40 minutes.

  12. Need space to annotate without breaking up your document? With Swipe Right, just swipe on the page you want and instantly create a stack of extra pages right inside that page. Clean, simple, seamless. Extra pages shouldn’t wreck your document’s flow!

  14. I would like to write two notes at the same time. I will split the screen so that I can look at the notes and write another note.For example, I want to look at one notepad and start writing other notes in another notebook, but without splitting the screen it’s very difficult.

  15. I am currently using the GoodNotes 7 beta version, and I noticed that when working on text documents, there is no option to zoom in or out of the page. This makes it inconvenient to adjust the view depending on the amount of content or personal preference. It would be very helpful if a zoom in/out feature could be added for text documents.

  16. Make the writing in pictures permanent, and move with the pictures if I rearrange them. It is very frustrating trying to use this feature when every little thing, moves what I have written to the background or simply moves it to another part of the picture/page where I do not want it.

    I literally only use Notability for this feature since they do not have this problem, and I wish to finally switch completely to Goodnotes!

  17. Support boox e-ink devices. They're android.. but when i try to run goodnotes on my air 4c it says browser not supported.. i installed chrome and tried to get it to run that way and it will on occasion but big lag. I purchased a subscription hoping to run this.

  18. please add support for e-ink tablets - particulary boox, the highly popular boox air 4c doesnt seem to support it even though its android. Just says not supported by browser.. these e-ink tablets are really popular. I bought a subscription to goodnotes as i assumed it would run on android.. it will on a basic android tablet but not on these e-ink android-based ones like boox.

  19. It would be great if transcriptions could be in "tabs" that you can extend and collapse. I've noticed that when I make multiple transcriptions in a notebook they all tend to get mixed into one large transcription. It would be great if they could be kept seperate and if we could copy the whole transcription of a single section/tab rather than everything that has been transcribed in the notebook.

    Hope that makes sense!
