  1. I would like to suggest a new feature for GoodNotes. When the scrolling direction is set to vertical, it would be great to have an option to lock the scroll strictly to vertical movement. For example, after setting a zoom ratio, pressing a button could lock the view so that touch gestures only move the page up and down, with no side-to-side movement at all.

    The reason is that palm rejection is not perfect, and my notes often shift sideways unintentionally while writing. This feature would really improve the writing experience.

  2. I’d love to be able to use the Red dot (fading ink) tool at the same time as the hidden tape feature (interacting with the tape while the Red dot is activated), this will help me with active recalling info from the hidden tape easier as I can type my answer anywhere and reveal the tape without having to switch my red dot setting. It is a mild inconvenience but I’ll love for it to be changed

  4. ■Strongly desire to support left-opening of PDFs.

    Japanese books open on the left.
    In order to open a PDF of that book, it needs to move horizontally and open left.
    Also, I would like to be able to choose between “one page appears independently” or “the previous and next pages appear continuously”.

  6. The system can already read your handwriting, so the ability to have the app code this writing to determine a Date and Time for a reminder would be amazing. Whether that be for an In-App reminders section which also pings on your phone and on top of the screen like "In your face"(APP) would be amazing.

    It would be brilliant if the app could automatically set a reminder in your default reminder software.

    As others have mentioned, this app is used for notes, diary and everything that people usually write down - so make it a super-app with the reminders…

  8. If you write with a pen or type text and choose an object with a classo tool and enlarge it, the letters will be enlarged completely, such as 100%, 150%, and 200%. For example, I wrote in the size of a 0.8mm thick and thick pen, but I zoomed in and reduced it to the classo tool because I think there was not enough space to write or the letters were too small. However, when I zoomed in/enlarged, the result displayed appears as if it were 0.2mm/2.00mm thick. I would like to add a function that can be modified to…

  9. If there is text in the photo or there is an equation, it would be nice to add a function to convert it into a text in the form of a good note or an equation function, as if adding text or entering an equation from a good note. (Transform text and equation in the photo directly into text and equation objects.)

  11. The Good Note UI is designated blue by default, and I want to change the UI with various colors. I hope they add theme features like this.

  12. When exporting in good note or PDF file format, I hope to add a password function that allows only those who know the password to open the file.

  13. It would be nice to add a (PDF edit) function that can be modified if there is a typo or incorrect text within the PDF file, or if it contains unnecessary content or unnecessary attaches.

  14. As a college student, I have access to the slides to my classes but there are no spaces on the side to write my own notes. It would be cool if there was a feature to add that on the side of my documents.

    It would be similar to the image but rather a whole added side to the document just like adding another page but on the right of the page/document.

  15. File Size Too Large (Add Compress File Size). This is goodnotes' biggest flaw. It is so hard to export to email because the file sizes are ALWAYS above maximum. I have to save to my ipad storage and manually compress because GoodNotes does not provide that option.

    Notability does not have this problem! I may change.

  16. Einen Taschenrechner der automatisch das Ergebnis ausgibt wenn man ein = schreibt. So wie bei dem Apple Taschenrechner auf dem iPad der es in der eigenen Handschrift schreibt. Ich und meine Klasse in der uni würden das sehr feiern

  18. Import pictures, allow freehand crop, allow layering and transparency reveals.

    This would be great for example in teaching anatomy, simply search images, import it and crop freehand, layer it, then have a slider to go over the layered freehand cropped pics. From clothed person, muscles, organs, skeletal, nerves, and veins…

    For architects or home design, picture a scene, search for plants, furniture, objects and people. Then you can present it to make an impact. From a simple scene, to an idea that you can pitch with impact.

  19. Being able to write document names in three lines (like citations: title, authors, journal) is very useful for those of us who use GoodNotes to read scientific articles.

  20. Please make it so we can adjust an image to exact dimensions. It would be so much easier resizing an image to match other images exact size. I do a lot of book journaling. The pre made pages of the journal are created so you can drag and drop book covers on to the page. I find myself spending ten minutes per image trying to fit the book cover in the pre made square. And even when I fit it in there, it’s never the same size as the other ones. I would also suggest fixing the resizing corners. PLEASE…
