  2. Animal/veterinary science does not fit within the biology or medicine categories as it is a separate field entirely. Would be nice to have a specific displine category to upload my notes to and would make it easier for others in this field to find and contribute notes.

  3. 建议增加一个“组“的功能,具体如下。把两个文件绑定为一组的功能,就是说AB两个文件,将他俩弄成一组。可以实现同时打开与关闭的功能

  4. I would like to have GoodNotes keep the page-zoom as I had when I changed from GoodNotes to another app on my Ipad Pro. Now the page will zoom out again if I switch from GoodNotes to another app and back. Or if I switch between 2 GoodNotes windows

  6. Having the ability to save customised pen settings. This would be really useful for certain notebooks, as each notebook has different pens: eg. thickness

  7. I want GoodNotes to adapt to iOS and iPad OS by pressing the long scroll bar. As shown in the photo. In other Apps, I can press the scroll bar for quick scroll, but it is invalid in GoodNotes!
    I'm quite surprised that this iOS system feature has been two years since iOS 13. GoodNotes is still not adapted, which has brought a lot of trouble to use. I hope it can be adapted as soon as possible, and the experience brought by a little improvement is huge! Thank you to GoodNotes team!
    希望GoodNotes适配iOS和iPad OS的长按滚动条进行滚动。如照片所示。在别的App中,我可以长按滚动条进行快速活动,而在GoodNotes中是无效的!我是挺惊讶的,这个iOS系统特性自iOS 13以来已经两年了,GoodNotes还是没有适配,给使用带来了不少麻烦。希望早日适配,一点点小改进带来的体验提升巨大!感激开发团队!

  9. I would like to have an option of, when importing a PDF, adding a sidebar to write my notes on the documents I am reading. Writing over them is good but sometimes a sidebar would make it easier and more organized

  10. Similar to what is mentioned here: https://feedback.goodnotes.com/forums/191274-customer-suggestions-for-goodnotes/suggestions/41779732-cornell-page-setting-without-line

    I'd like a Cornell note taking template without lines and that is more space efficient. The dimension for the Title seems a bit too large and unecessary for instance.
    Most importantly, we should have the opportunity to change the paper template such that we can choose dotted or blank paper. This feature is no longer available on Goodnotes (but appears to have been previously).

  12. Set up automatic backup of Baidu network disk for Chinese users, because most Chinese users do not use Google drive. But we have great demands for automatic backup, equipment coordination, and data transfer and sharing. I sincerely hope that you can adopt this suggestion, thank you.

  13. It is sometimes convenient to look at one page of the document and write on another. Currently moving the zoom window leads to jumpback to the page the window is on. Please allow the jumpback to be disabled. Thank you.

    1. For GoodNotes, I think it would be better if you change the app price into free, because some users like me who doesn’t buy any apps, just in case I don’t use it anymore, might really need GoodNotes, but unable to buy.

    2. Maybe GoodNotes can have an audio recording, similar like Notability. Since more users are using GoodNotes, it would be better if there is an audio recording function.

  14. Please try and make parabolic shapes, curved lines, and other shapes to more accurately represent the path of the pencil stroke. The ones now are good, but I would like a more accurate swept line - meaning closer to the path my pencil head took, not a predefined ellipsis.

  17. please add a feature that you can instantly resize an object after circling it with the lasso tool by zooming with two fingers. So you don‘t have to tap on “resize“.

  18. when I'm writing in my notebooks I'm using the Cornell methode and write key words in a different colour. Adding filters to search (eg text that's only written in purple) would really come in handy when navigating through lots of pages.
