  1. Making it possible to insert multiple pages of text at once (or import a word document and be able to edit it) where it is able to move the text, so you can write under parts of the text, with the rest of the text moving further down on to the next page. (and also have the handwritten notes follow, when editing.

    Right now when I insert text from a multiple long word file the text is just put into the textbox instead of continuing on the following page. Also the text and the handwritten text do not complement each…

  2. Double clicking on a blank area in the op menu bar (header) in the Mac app should expand the app to fill the desktop (not enter Full screen). This is fairly standard in Mac apps but missing in Goodnotes.

  3. I am a math teacher and would love the ability to use these tools during my lesson. I generally use GoodNotes to project the pdf version of the math book students work from. But when I have to use manipulative such as a ruler or protractor or fraction pieces I have to go back to my doc cam. I love the ability to move around the room that GoodNotes and iPad has allowed me to do instead of stuck behind my desk using a doc cam.

  4. Have the ability to annotate the original PDF file from the Files app (or Google Drive) and keep it in sync across different apps without having to import and essentially create a second version of the file in GoodNotes

  5. I run an organisation that uses GoodNotes as our digital white-board app for hybrid Zoom and in-person classes. Due to switching from a single Zoom license to Zoom Rooms for our organisation i've had to create a new GoodNotes account for our in-classroom iPads, which all sync nicely amongst themselves now that i've created a organisational Apple ID. The notes from these classes now no longer sync with my GoodNotes app on my laptop (as my laptop uses my personal Apple ID. As I sometimes forgot to email the notes from each class to myself at the end of the…

  6. I'm an engineering student who uses Goodnotes for his note taking in class. The thing I miss the most in Goodnotes is plotting non linear functions such as exponentials and sinusoids.
    I think it will be very helpful for all the students out there who use this fantastic app in class

  7. My suggestion is the app could have a smal window inside a pdf to write notes about... Or import a notebook (small) on the archive, or, at least, add "post it" to attach the file (and be able to export them all at the end- not one by one, please).

  8. It’d be nice to be able to copy and paste pages from the thumbnail view instead of having to copy them, close the thumbnail view, click add page and paste them.

  10. Please allow to offload folders oder large documents from the ipad and just let them be saved in the icloud. So you can save more storage on the device an still have access to the documents that you dont youse a lot (e.g. Textbooks or old Powerpoint slides).

    Just like Apple does it with their icloud documents on a mac.

  11. The collaboration feature is great! But will be even better if there is a function where all parties can look at the same page, instead of people looking and editing different pages.

  13. I have been using GoodNotes for over two months now. The only thing I would point to as poor is the text input/editing functions. Please add a few basic options such as Bullet Point, Check Box, and Tables.

    GoodNotes is my favorite note-taking app, but the text function could be improved a little more.

  15. It would be a huge time saver if somehow the app would automatically index any sort of annotation to either the front of the doc to summarize certain chapters or documents. This could effectively summarize the ideas and create an outline of the doc so that one would not have to go back to find different highlights etc.

  18. Erasing within a circles erases the circle itself. The tools should not do this and should be working like it does within other shapes.
