  1. Can a feature be added to lock a PDF after it has been signed perhaps with a date/time stamp when the PDF was locked and finalized? I am in law enforcement and I use Goodnotes to have people sign department forms. It would be great if the form could be locked and stamped after it is signed to show that the form has not been altered. Thank you.

  3. More pens options. More things so I can color documents. Also a fix so it doesn’t erase all my work when using a pen

  4. I hate the thing that if you are searching for a note on a folder o if you exit by mistake while taking notes you must open a new file to return back in “notes mode”. Just add a “back to notes” button or make tabs view also available in search, documents, ecc pages!!

  5. Improve the overflow feature of typed notes so that if I go back and add more to an earlier page, it automatically flows down. Also allow for a header that repeats across multiple pages of typed notes (like in a notebook filled with notes for a semester worth of classes).

  6. I love you guys, but you seriously need to fix the shape drawing tool. There are currently (as far as I know) two ways of drawing shapes:

    1. Draw them quickly to get exactly what you drew: This is (almost) always imprecise for shapes like rectangles, since I obviously can't draw a rectangle consistently, so this is a non-starter for rectangles

    2. Draw them and hold for shape perfection: This is for some reason almost always turned into a circle or an ellipse which is incredibly frustrating.

  7. Vielen lieben Dank für die tollen Lernkarten. Für die Erlernung der Gebärdensprache wäre es total wichtig, dass man nicht nur Bilder sondern auch Videos hochladen könnte.

  8. As a student, I am often completing exam papers and download them onto my goodnotes to then complete. I often find that there isn't enough space to write on the sheet so I create a new blank page to write my answers. However it is very inconvenient to have to scroll up and down to read the question then scroll down to write my working then scrolling back up again for the the questions and so on. Other apps like liquid text already have this feature that I wholeheartedly believe would make this app significantly better. Not only this, even…

  9. Laser movement shall be shared to all participants in the collaboration mode.

    Collaboration mode is very useful when multiple people work on the same document at the same time, e.g. remote teaching, doing home work together etc.

    Participants can write simultaneously and this is near real time visible to all.

    Please extend this functionality for laser pointer. It is very useful when explaining home work or what ever is the topic.

  11. Every time i come to scroll my notebooks on my iphone, i end up writing on my notes instead. I wish the experience of browsing my notes on my iphone were more user friendly.

  12. Hello there! Since the new goodnotes update is out and you must have an account (for ma my google account), Is something planned like synced notes to that specific account across multiple platforms? For example, I use my iPad to take notes and would like to edit them sometimes on my PC without syncing to iCloud and sharing via links... Its bulky, non effective.
    Thank you in advance for your answer!

  13. It would be great If you were able to write temporary notes in your flashcards while in learning mode.

    Like the whiteboard mode in Anki on Android devices (Not Apple)

    The notes shell disappear if you swipe to the next card.

    So you have the possibility to hide words in a graphic and write the term directly on the card.

  14. When you underline some text, you have to switch quickly of colour: it will bee great to have the possibility to use a command/tab shortcut to pass from one favorite colour to another...

    Best regards

  15. frustration regarding the synchronization between devices on your platform. As an iOS user, the current experience is incredibly disappointing. I recently purchased GoodNotes on my iPad, only to find that I cannot use it on my iPhone without making an additional purchase. Furthermore, accessing it on the web seems to require a separate payment.

    This situation has left me bewildered and questioning the company's policies. The impression I get is that users are required to make repeated purchases for the same application across different devices, which is not only inconvenient but also seems financially burdensome. I urge you to address…

  17. It would be really great if you could add pages to the right, left, top and bottom. At the moment you can only add pages either top and bottom or right and left.

  19. Please could you include te reo Maori (the Maori language) in your supported languages. There is huge Maori language regeneration in New Zealand supported by new generations of Maori who have been schooled in their language and non-Maori who are keen learners of the Maori language. There would be great uptake by New Zealand users of goodnotes.

  20. When moving texts or images it would be very helpful to have lines that equally space out the text or images like in Canva
