  1. Suggestion: Make the slide sizes bigger and empty spaces in between smaller.

    Why: The overview of documents is supposed to give a clear overview for users,
    yet the small slide sizes and big empty spaces counter this purpose and make it extremely difficult to read and scroll through documents in an efficient manner.

  2. Goodnotes currently compresses images when importing them into a document. Having the ability to deactivate the compression of images will help greatly in those who import images as templates very often. Please consider making this option available while also making sure this won't lag the document.

  3. The backup options are usually services that require you to pay for storage which some people may be unable to do. Google Drive is the only storage place that doesn’t charge to store large amounts of data. I only have one google email and I don’t want my school notes getting mixed in with other files I have on my drive.

    I’d like to propose GoodNotes Drive (separate from the GoodNotes app) where we can back up all our notes.

  4. I love using cornell notes, but since the paper is ruled, if i type something in, I have to constantly adjust spacing or text size so that the text is not obscured by the lines. I’ve been drawing out my own cornell notes on blank paper but it’d be so much easier to have a template already in place to do that.

    Other options like grid or dotted paper would be nice to so that it’s easier to draw graphs.

    In the pictures, one photo shows cornell notes on dotted paper (it makes it easier to draw straight lines. On…

  6. It would be neat to have a blend of two colours in one pen. Meaning, if I wanted to have lime green on a white background, I could have the option to outline the lime green with another colour of my choosing. Similar idea to the photo I've added, but the ability to write in a pen instead of typed, and for the colours to somewhat blend into one another instead of it looking like a harsh line.

  8. I'm using Goodnotes for my Business Plans and Ideas. I only use it with my MacBook. It doesn't work 90% of the time when I try to move the cursor within the text via my keyboard arrows. I have to restart the App so I can use this feature for like 5 minutes again. Very annoying...

  9. As A user of goodnotes 5, I would like to have the newest Page shown at The front of The Page list so that my most recent notes are The first seen. When I need to add A new Page I would like to do that with a pull to the right. Because I care about my follow goodnotes-5 users, I would like to have Page order be selectable as Newest at Front or Newest at Back. Thank you for your consideration of the feature request.

  10. It would be good if we can add a new page according to the previous page size without copying its content. It will definitely save our time and allow us to use different template in a file.

  11. There is a ton of clicking that is required when utilizing the application, whether on the MAC or iPAD.
    One example: Copying & pasting, clicking to select the text, etc is extremely slow. Mistakes are often made because I am working faster than the application. I have to wait a couple of seconds for the text box to show up and make sure the cursor is active before pasting something. If I paste immediately after I select to place my text box, then the text will randomly be pasted onto the page in the original format requiring to click into…

  12. Sometimes a PowerPoint slide or PDF file might not have enough room to write notes on, or gets too cluttered.

    I like to create a new blank page and write notes on that. The issue is the fact that sometimes these additional notes do not take up the whole page so I just have a huge blank area beneath the notes.

    I'd like a way to resize each individual page, if needed. That way, I can cut out all the blank, wasted space and keep my notes seamless.

  14. PLEASE REMOVE THE NEW (+) BUTTON FROM THE DASHBOARD. PLEASE REPLACE IT WITH A SIMPLE PLUS SIGN LOCATED TOP RIGHT. THERE IS NO REASON THE + SIGN SHOULD OCCUPY SO MUCH SPACE IN THE DASHBOARD.

  15. I recently switched from Flexcil to Goodnotes and I love the experience so far. The only thing I am missing is the ability to have a floating document as a popup on top of another document. This makes taking notes and writing summaries of another document a lot more fun.

  17. I often write inside a circle that I have drawn. If I make a mistake I have to erase it then redraw the circle, which is hard enough as more often than not it goes to an ellipse - maybe another area for improvement.

  18. I use GoodNotes screenshot-feature on a daily basis to create drawings for my exercises & summaries for uni and it would be very useful if I could export into SVG -> better quality while maintaining a small footprint.

    This should illustrate my idea:

  19. When reading a pdf, there are little points that you have to mention in addition. An ability to have a small window/ note beside the main pdf to mention them would be amazing. every time you go over that page, it would tell you that there you have x number of notes on this, or better, it would highlight those lines so you know that there is additional info with those

    The other thing that could be added is the ability to connect boxes to each other like in liquid text
