  1. Recently I was grading PDF exams in Goodnotes. I grade a lot better if I grade everyone's Problem 1, then go back and grade everyone's Problem 2, and so on.

    Once I have all 50+ of my students' exams open, the tabbed file system makes it very easy to switch between files. (THANK YOU for allowing me to have 50+ tabs open at once!) But on the first pass I have to open the files one by one. Is there a way to open all files in a folder (in separate tabs)?

  2. For example, tapping the pen icon will open the pen menu. Tapping that icon again does not close the menu, but it should.

  3. Can you make multiple star colours or only red. I would like to rank my favourites from green for most favourite to red, blue or any colour for the star colour.

  4. The latest edition of Goodnote has cancelled the brushstrokes. It is really disturbing. Please return the tip of a writing brush or we have no choice but to use other app which can provide the brushstokes function. Please!!!

  5. For the presentation mode, add invisibility for the following tools: the lasso dotted lines, the eraser area, notes and ink. For example, objects may be selected and moved without the audience seeing the dotted lines of the lasso tool. Or a fill in the blank page can be shown without the audience seeing the answers.

  6. Simplify the "delete page" feature by adding it to the More menu. This would make the deletion process much quicker, logical (and easier to remember).

  7. Having a way to select the entire screen quickly could be useful if you need to copy everything, change the colo(u)r and delete.

  8. There are shortcuts built in to iOS and iPadOS for copying and pasting which aren’t supported (three fingers spread out for paste and the fingers pinch for copy) which could help save time for both text and images, especially when using any tool.

  9. When you lasso something, and then tap to get the options, sometimes the tap shoves the lasso'd material along a little bit. UNDO puts it back exactly where it was but, at the moment, also drops the lasso. It would be great if the lasso remained (and the options, of course) so you don't have to try it again (and again...) to tap without shoving.

  12. Thanks for this amazing search tool! There is only one problem: When I am searching within a particular PDF document, I find it a little clumsy because the window that opens containing the findings is so small. Furthermore, when I go to one of the pages found, the window disappears. But mostly I need to open a few other pages found which is quite complicated because I have to search again, remember which pages I have already opened etc. I would need the findings as a list or something, probably even in a new tab, which you can directly export…

  13. When selecting text or highlight lines and changing the colours, only the pen color presets are available. It would be great if there was a tab to switch to the highlighter color presets.

  14. I know there are tabs, but id like a way to open another document without having to leave my current note and go searching in the folders/search field directly. I feel it could save time.

  15. Ability to condense power point slides into one, in order to alleviate the storage usage of the document but also to make finding the slides much more streamlined.

    Meaning multiple slides(3 or more) would be put on one page in a slightly smaller version of the original in order to avoid having to scroll through lets say 90 slides or more.

  17. The Problem: When I'm taking notes I'm bothered by reaching the right end side of the piece of "digital" paper I'm writing on currently, because of the hight of the iPad Pro I'm taking the notes with I'm forced to move my hand off the pad to write on the right hand side of the screen.

    The possible Solution: Add an on/off toggle to make it possible to move the paper digitally out of the screen, such that for example half my piece of paper is moved out of the left side of the screen and I can place my…

  18. One note has the option to lasso a section of text and then click on a preset pen to change the text to the thickness and color of the preset pen. If I accidentally write something in the wrong thickness, I would have to rewrite it on GN which is a pain.
