  1. Being able to show where edits are being made, like in the corner it says the page number of where you were writing at that moment in the audio reocording, would be helpful

  3. It woud be really useful for my organisation to have numbers as icons in the folder customization. It would generally be useful to have more icons to choose from as there sometimes is no icon that really fits the content of the folder.

  4. I teach university math and every time I plot a point on the axis, the axis gets deleted. Often, my writing is deleted when I cross a t. Please allow this feature to be deleted.

  5. Ability to tag an outline page with a colour so that I can make outlines in a document the way one would stick post it notes to the edge of a book. The ability to write a brief summary under the outline label which could be expanded would be incredibly helpful, allowing users to write a brief summary of the page.

  7. It would be great if the gestures with the pen worked in the enlarged view, in addition to having a few tools in the window that comes out so you don’t have to go all the way up to change the color or the tool.

  8. Linking should be faster to use. It currently too slow to hold onto a link that is generated, it should be a simple click and take me there.

    Linking is to simple. Being able to create links only out of text box is a huge limitation that makes this feature not only clunky but super limited and not competitively viable compared to the FREE alternatives like Obsidian's Excalidraw.

    Links are page based, WHAT if i need to link somewhere specific in a page? They need to link back

    Links to somewhere should also link back. Like if i link to…

  9. I think it would be useful to be able to give a title to the recordings in order to have a tidy and organized section of recordings and not to have always to search between recordings to find what you are looking for. I think giving titles to recordings would make life easier and help during the transcription process

  13. Currently, the lasso tool does not copy or PDFs it only copies,
    self written content on Goodnotes.

    If you could use lasso tool on any kind of import, it would be super easy to dragon and drop and create Study sets.

  14. An option to resize imported PDF pages would help each notebook feel more cohesive, especially for those using vertical scrolling. It would be nice to have a feature that automatically matches the width of each imported page to that of the current template so that all the pages in the document have the same width.

  15. Please make the marker, drawing, rubber, lasso and laser tools accesible for users which use Apple's Assistive Touch (e.g. Joystick, Eyegaze, Headmouse, ...)
    This would be very usefull for many users who need to use Assistive Technologies.

  16. I wish you would update the study flash card with an option to upload an image and type a question regarding the image. As of now, I have to do the old school flash card notebook in order to study images.

  17. It can only zoom up but cannot zoom down which is very inconvenient when browsing!

    Every update is about AI but do users really need it?

    Please improve the basic function!

    Almost every website and similar software have unlimited zoom up and zoom down!

  19. In the Settings menu (iPad, iOs 17), please enable same support for Goodnotes, as there is for Notes - see attached picture. This goes especially for password protection, customisation of corner gestures, accessing Goodnotes from locked screen, and support for tags.

  20. Hi! I would LOVE to create my own outlines which I can drop onto a page & create a standard way to write up meetings / to-do / projects etc. Here is how I see the idea:

    • I create a standard meeting outline (for example area's for Attendees, Agenda, Action Items etc).
    • I tap on an icon and add the outline to an existing page.
    • The outline is "locked" by default. So I can erase writing without changing the outline. Another way to think about this - layers in Photoshop.
