Better Support for typing (on iPads and Macs)
It would be amazing if text colour and size can be changed through keyboard shortcuts, and more advanced text features like Markdown can be brought in here. (Please learn from google docs and notion - thanks!)

cloud
Allow real-time sync with cloud storages like Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, etc so that files occupy less storage on the ipad, while allowing for editing and annotation of the file stored in the cloud. This would save a lot of space for those of us using lower end devices.

Backlink to a Goodnote page - Hook links
Would you please add the minimal API (AppleScript, JavaScript, command line interface, or other) required for App Name to work with Hook? I use the macOS productivity app, Hook, to provide the missing links between my favorite apps. Hook enables me to to link items from my favorite apps to each other. This provides many benefits.
Hook needs AppleScript support to get a name and URL (or other unique identifier) of the frontmost open resource in your app; and
be able to open this resource later using that same URL/identifier.That’s all there is to it. It’s quite easy to…

Resize group of shapes but keep original thickness of the lines they are made of
I often re-use arrows and all sorts of frames (lined shapes without filling) that I need to immediately adjust in terms of size but not in terms of thickness.
Another user case is that I hand-write some text with a pen (not text tool) and then I need to make the whole of it a bit smaller or larger BUT KEEP THE THICKNESS of the lines.
Let’s say I drew an arrow with a pen 2 mm thick and then I need to make the shape bigger - longer in this case - BUT I STILL WANT IT TO BE…

Favorites scrolling
When in the Miniature view and on Favorites, let users swipe right and left for next and previous Favorites, this small feature would make finding important stuff way easier.

Edit Word and PowerPoint files in app
A lot of apps (other than the MS Office suite) out there can edit Word (.docx) and PowerPoint (.pptx) files.
Given that a lot of class notes are given by professors in these formats, having the ability to modify them within the app would allow users to replace MS Office apps for basic note editing work.
I already keep all PDF docs in GoodNotes. Having the option to properly import and edit Word and PowerPoint files here would make it much more convenient.
This would make GoodNotes more attractive for working professionals as well.
Hope to see this feature sometime…

Automatically scroll to, and highlight, outline closest to current page in document view area when opening outline section of page grid view
When opening the page grid view, and clicking on the outline section (as opposed to thumbnails section), it would be awesome if the outline section would automatically scroll down (and highlight/bolden) the outline that is closest to (but before or on) the current page the user is editing/looking at in the documents view page. Currently, every time the outline section of the page grid view is selected, the list shows the very top of the outline list, and the user has to scroll down to outlines that are relevant to the current page, as opposed to the outline section automatically…

PC Notetaking
Currently, I have to use several different apps to take my notes and go through the annoying process of sharing back and forth via Google Drive or some other convoluted method.
Please include PC compatibility for note-taking (not just viewing) and a cloud sync to avoid issues with transferring notes back and forth. See sites such as Canva that already do this. Honestly, sometimes I just use Canva for taking notes since at least I can control text formatting, grouping and locking, and cloud sync.

Heating issue
In previous version my battery was draining and fetching heating issue while using GoodNotes. Then I got updated version telling that it will be resolved. But for me it hasn’t been resolved yet.

It would be great if we can insert images to the comment box just like text.

Area to rest hand when writing on the edge of the document
Having extra space to either side of the document that you can scroll over into so that when you're writing on the edge, you have a place to rest your hand.
For me, I'm right-handed, and writing near the right-hand edge is always hard since there's nowhere to rest my hand, so it'd be nice to have extra space to the sides6 votes -
Moving pages within the same document
When you want to move pages within the same document you have to click on it and scroll through the thumbnail until you get it to where you would like to move it. I think there should be an option to type in the page number you would like to move it to, and then the page that is already located on that page number automatically moves below the newly moved page.

Toggle function that hides part of note
It would be fantastic if there was a feature that hides a part of a note into a toggle button, which will expand the hided section when clicked, similar to the toggle function in notion. Perhaps the lasso tool could be used to select the content that is to be hided into toggle. This would tremendously boost the ability for active recall while reviewing through notes, without the need of creating flashcards, or using other apps that has the toggle feature.

Focus Mode
I love reading and studying on goodnotes but the only downside is while reading is immersive thanks to full screen. Writing introduces an unnecessary number of button clicks to start writing, and distracts from the material
If there was a Focus Mode, which was full screen and only allowed writing in one stroke type and erasing using the Apple Pencil. That would drastically improve my focus and ability to study.

Support iOS/iPadOS native Low Data Mode
GoodNotes documents can get quite large over time. Synchronizing (and backing up) them on constantly uses ridicules amounts of data (sometimes up to 1GB in a single day).
Using GoodNotes in school, this poses a big problem, as we currently don't have working WiFi. Connecting my iPad to my iPhone's Personal Hotspot is always a story of force closing GoodNotes, connecting to the Hotspot, doing whatever, disconnecting and relaunching GoodNotes as I have a limited amount of high speed cellular data.To solve this, GoodNotes could support iOS native Low Data Mode, which users can set system wide on a…

PowerPoint pdf with note section
An easy way to upload pdf with powerpoint slides on it so that it creates a few lines underneath or next to the slide when uploading it to GoodNotes. That way we can write our notes during a lecture next to the slide instead of cramping al of the information on the actual slide itself.

Ability to write with Apple Pencil in “Comments” instead of typing
it’s a great function especially when you are running out Of space on ur page.
I have a suggestion, here we are typing to add notes. Wouldn’t it be nice if we were just allowed to write on the black dialog box that opens up, straight with our apple pencils? As most of us will be using our Apple Pencil to take notes.6 votes -
Identification Tags for Flashcards
I love the flashcard feature in Good Notes! But, I have an idea for how to make it more user-friendly. What if you could put 'tags' on certain cards? For example, in my bio flashcards, I would love to tag which chapters the card is from (e.g., "Ch. 1", "Ch. 2", "Ch. 3"). Then when I launch the flashcard feature, I can select which tags I would like to review. If I feel comfortable with the content from chapter 1, I would leave those cards out. You could also tag cards by their level of difficulty, kind of question (true/false,…

Archive page in notebook
In the pages view, when clicking the arrow on a page, would be great to add a new feature "Archive". This sends the current page to the last page of the notebook and slightly dims it, or adds an icon indicating it is archived.

Presentation mode in split screen
I use GoodNotes for teaching (and it‘s great for that). However I‘d love widgets like timers for students. I use classroomscreen.com for timers and soundlevel sensors, which are oddly specific requirements for teachers. So I don‘t think features like these will be implemented.
If I could use the presentation mode while in splitscreen, I could show timers/other widgets on one side, while not losing space in my GoodNotes document. Also I don‘t want students to see messages popping up on my screen.6 votes
