  1. I often teach math using goodnotes. It would be great, if I could turn on the visibility of the ruler. So my students could see, where I put the ruler and how I meassure.

  2. While I love the current organization options, I think it would be amazing if we could be able to move folders/notebooks around ourselves (or manually). Like a manual option as well.

  3. I wish for a feature that creates hyperlinks from headlines from imported files (pdf, image ...) and connects them to similar headlines that are hand written in the following.
    Here is the scenario where I imagine this function:
    When I get an excercise sheet at university, I import the pdf file to Goodnotes and start to solve the exercises in the following (handwritten). Because most exercises start with "Exercise 1" or something like that and I start my answers with the same headline. For easier navigation it would be helpful if Goodnotes recognizes these same headlines and creates a hyperlink…

  4. It would be really helpful if it was possible to stack pages, meaning that when scrolling through the notebook only the first page of that stack (for example a PDF or PowerPoint) would be visible and you would have to swipe left/right to see the rest. This way it would be easier to keep an overview and find notes more quickly without having to scroll to through dozens of pages, especially when you insert lots of multi-page documents/powerpoints.

  7. It would be incredibly useful, to be able to customize the distancing of dots and lines in templates.

    In different countries we use different spacing of lines in ruled, squared and dotted paper. Especially when designing worksheets to be printed it would be great to be able to specify the distance to e.g. 0.5 cm.

  8. The current edition contains the folders in a very bland way without any typical sorting arrangement available. It would be better if the sorting options for folders was made a little different for a better looking and pleasing user interactive interface on the home page

  9. I would like to be able to duplicate my files. They have links within the document. The problem is that the copied file links keep opening in the old file and do not link within the new document. This makes no sense to me. How do I fix this?

  10. Often, files in a folder are named after a similar pattern. It would be nice to have this as a optional feature for each folder. It should be rather easy to implement.

  11. Dear GoodNotes Team, I am writing to express my appreciation for the exceptional work you’ve done with the GoodNotes app, which has significantly enhanced my note-taking experience.
    I would like to suggest an update that I believe many users, including myself, would find incredibly beneficial. It would be wonderful if the pen library could be expanded to include a wider variety of writing and drawing tools. This enhancement would not only improve the versatility of the app but also cater to the diverse preferences and styles of your user base.
    Thank you for considering this suggestion. I am looking forward…

  12. When sharing notes, please add a function to disable writing except by the owner who created the note. I would like a function to allow only viewing by non-owners.

  13. When creating a flashcard, both question and answer pages are displayed. To edit any of them, we need to tap on the edit button.
    Why not let the users directly edit them (like when notes are created) without clicking on edit button and then on the done button?

  15. One should be able to go back to the original page after clicking a hyperlink in a PDF file. This is necessary when annotating some long PDF files.

  17. When using the "Circle to Select" gesture, it often happens that my timing is slightly off and I try to pull the selection too early, yielding an unwanted stroke on the page. Therefore, the pencil should vibrate slightly once the selection is complete.

  18. Whenever I type a number or hyphen at the start of a line, an automatic bullet/numbered list will appear and hijack my original structure. Can you provide an option to turn off automatic lists?

  19. It would be nice to be able to store files (notebooks yes, but also elements!) either in iCloud, some other cloud, or in a GoodNotes cloud system, and have them accessible and editable on device.

    I have very limited space on my iPad, but i have several notebooks, and I have TONS of stickers that I would love to add to my elements. The problem is that I do not have the space for it on my iPad at all... However I do have space in cloud storage. Now I have to use iCloud and add png files to Goodnotes…

  20. Please make the tape function that is already available for Notability users possible for Goodreads. As it is already implemented for the Notability users I don’t understand why Goodreads takes so long to make it happen.
