  1. Right now if you directly type into your document, you are restricted to the style & format provided by Goodnotes, you can't find words or phrases using the search tool, and when typing too long or moving from different tabs it sorta sticks & won't allow you to type even though you can move & see the blinking text cursor. Additionally when the page overfills, it does not automatically continue to the next page and it instead keeps asking you to create each new page. Then when you want to shorten or lengthen pages, you have to individually copy and…

  2. Handwriting can sometimes be illegible when taking notes quickly, so adding this feature is extremely important for college students.

  3. To Link across documents
    Make it more useable like LiquidText , like just linking things with just connecting words and pages. Which will be more helpful for researching.
    Add a side notes taking freespace for pdfs like LiquidText , which will also be very helpful.

  4. Hi, it would be great if we were able to tell the number of pages in a document from the main home screen, rather than to enter each document to check it. Plus, at the same time, it would be great if we had the visibility of the number of notebooks in a folder.
    Thank you!

  5. I have lots of textbooks that have page number's, but you cannot enter the page number and jump to it in goodnotes because of title pages, table of contents, etc. I just want to be allowed to set a page as page 1.

  6. It would be amazing if we could drag a number of folders from Finder into GoodNotes and it creates the folders in GoodNotes with the PDFs in each one.

    I use it a lot for reviewing documents and currently I have to create the folders to match Finder and then drag/drop the PDFs into each one...

  7. Since the addition of the timer, a random name generator would be beneficial for classroom randomization. As a teacher, randomization is essential for a classroom environment to ensure all students are learning. I teach on my iPad, and switching between windows is inconvenient.

  8. I want the paper colour to be automatically changed when activating Dark Mode just like Notability. That is the only reason I am forced to use Notability else I immediately shift to goodnotes.

  9. As we can read here: https://support.goodnotes.com/hc/en-us/articles/7445581406095-Share-notebooks-between-iOS-and-other-platforms#share-notebooks-between-ios-and-other-platforms-0-0 the complete synchronisation between iOS App and Web Apps is not possible yet, but Link Sharing and editing should be working.
    I just was testing the Link Sharing and editing option. The Sharing Option works, but the editing option does not synchronize between iOS App and WebApp.

    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Create Notebook on iOS App.
    2. Create Share Link for that notebook in iOS App.
    3. Open Link in Browser or Windows App.
    4. Edit in Browser or Windows App.
    5. Wait for Status "Synchronised" in Windows App.
    6. Wait for Synchronisation in…

  10. About tape tilt
    When you pull the masking tape, it ends up at an angle, which is inconvenient.
    Therefore, I would like to be able to pull the tape straight instead of diagonally.

  12. As a Physics teacher I have to do so much calculations while solving numerical. It will be very helpful if we have apple math notes with all the features like graph plotting and variable detection etc integrated to goodnotes.

  13. I’m so pleased with study sets, it’s very useful function for studying.
    But when I practice the sets it’s hard to read the cards because the texts on the screen are too small to read. Even though in horizontal mode, the text size is same to in vertical one.
    I hope it be improved asap. Please refer to screenshots I sent.

    1. Fixing Images in Place : Currently, selecting images with a finger causes the image to move while writing on it. This makes it difficult to work with images. Allowing users to fix images in place would greatly improve usability.
    2. Exporting and Importing Audio Clips : It would be very helpful if users could export audio clips and import them from external sources.

  16. please make a function to link another document within a document!!

    I am making a short summary to study for my class final, I would love to be able to link a different document within my goodnotes folders to a specific word to have more detailed information

    for example: my note says " - the sea is full of organisms", I then tap on the word "organism" and my notes on organisms I took during class pop up, because I was able to link them to my short summary

  17. In order to allow the use of Goodnotes company, we require to be able to apply certain security policies. This is done via MS Intune MAM, which require that the app is integrated with Intune SDK. I know this is a requirement at many large companies. The fact that this is not the case, excludes Goodnotes from a lot (!) of users.

    Please integrate Intune SDK to the source code, so that it can be included in our and several others app repository.

  18. The present linking process is time consuming…to make it easy my suggestion is while linking a page from one document (A) to another page (lets say page no-206 of document (B)) can u please allow us manually entering the page number instead of scrolling to the 206th page in document B….because it is too tedious.

  19. Currently, when a PDF file is imported into GoodNotes, users cannot scale the individual pages, especially if they contain existing content. This can be problematic when working with PDF documents that have a page size much larger than desired, leading to an inconsistent and cumbersome user experience.

    Proposed Feature:
    Introduce the ability to scale and resize entire PDF pages after they have been imported into GoodNotes, regardless of whether they contain existing content. This would allow users to adjust oversized pages to a more manageable size, ensuring a more streamlined workflow and better usability when working with PDF documents.

    Benefits:…
