  1. I would like it so that when I zoom in, the space on the outside of the page is large enough that I can zoom into the place I want to write and it would be positioned on the right side of the page. Currently, if I zoom onto the left side of the page, I would have to reach my right hand over to write on the left side.

  2. I am a student and I really enjoy using Goodnotes to read my textbook and make notes on it. However, recently, I’ve bought the latest IPad Pro (12.9). I thought my experience of using these apps would be even better as I have a larger screen and better chip. However, my writing experience on Goodnotes then becomes horrible, as the Apple Pencil seems uncontrollable and the curve becomes not smooth (The letter c, s and number 3 looks pretty ugly because of it). I thought that was my equipment’s problem, but then I tried notability and procreate and my handwriting…

  3. Figma or Miro makes it quick to get started, rather than making your own structure from the scratch.
    Part of it can be figured out by Goodnotes team such as todos or calendars, maybe more for the power users such as SCAMPER or customer journey. The rest of it can be left upto the community to be figured out on their own.

    It is essential for the Templates to be accessible in-app. Search and download. Having favorite templates marked down for quick access in every category, maybe have some AI magic in place to change the color theme real quick.

  4. It would be great if there could be a template (like Cornell style) where you can put the term of the flashcard on the left, and the corresponding definition on the right. Then, this could be automatically converted into the flash card template. I love the flashcard template but copying and pasting each individual definition is quite tedious, and I think an automated conversion could be created to help with this. This would be especially useful for people who make hundreds of flashcards per subject to study.

  5. When taking photo, add the option to edit it at the time you took it and not after you press “use photo”.
    Also, make it possible to scan pictures just like you can do on phone,
    Add resize it not only in square shape.
    For ex. To be able do scan the board at class.

  6. 我用的是iPad版本的,当从其他网站导入good notes时的PDF就真的是PDF,一点没有适配我的iPad屏幕,不像其他软件例如 noteablity,或者Reader,从其他网页导入它们app时字体又大,宽距可以适应,直接就可以上手编辑了。我很喜欢用Good notes,可以让我一次性直接导入而不是用其他app吗?

  7. Currently, the toolbar remains purple, which can be distracting when everything else is white. It'd be good to be able to customise that colour to white or black or something more neutral or subtle, or even colour code the tool bar based on notebooks (like theme colour). its all about choices... and the purple right now shouldnt be the only option

  8. When you import a PDF, the page size often doesn't match with the rest of the document like Notability does. It'd be great to at least have an option to match the page size so a vertical scrollimg document looks like it fits in.

  9. Much like Canva, have the ability to import SVG images to use as stickers with the option to change the sticker colors, like Canva does (it can change up to 5 colors).

  10. I write with my palm resting on the right side of my iPad, but when a line I've written reaches the right side, I am suddenly writing with my palm on the table. I'd like an option that supports moving the page off-center to the left and having it stay there, so I can continue writing without shifting my hand.

    For comparison to another drawing/writing app, Procreate canvases let you do this.

  12. I love GoodNotes and have been using it for several years. I also use GoodNotes for workshops and presentations. Therefore, I've got many large PDF's in the database.

    My problem is, that the GoodNotes database (synchronized with iCloud) already has more than 26 GB. This fills up both my iPad and my Mac.

    I'd love the functionality to be able to view and sort all files by size (without folders), check the largest files, and delete them in a bulk action. This would really help!

    I assume that other passionate GoodNotes users have the same problem.

    Thank you,

    Stefan

  13. Mir gefällt an GoodNotes sehr, dass man das Cover des Notizbuches selbst gestalten kann.
    Für die Struktur arbeite ich jedoch lieber mit den Ordnern.
    Deshalb wünsche ich mir, dass man die Icons der Ordner ebenfalls selbst gestalten könnte oder zumindest in verschiedenen Farben wählen könnte.

    —————————

    What I really like about GoodNotes is that you can design the cover of the notebook yourself.
    However, I prefer to work with the folders for the structure.
    That's why I wish that you could also design the folder icons yourself or at least choose different colors

  14. When collaborating on documents, sometimes it may be necessary to make a copy to make individual annotations. However, making a copy will not keep other annotations up-to-date/synced with the master/main copy. Thus, a feature allowing users to “fork” a document and keep it synced while adding their own edits in their forked document would be useful. This is important and especially essential for educational settings where a teacher or project leader may wish to distribute a template version for individuals to edit, but keep annotations or edits updates on all copies.

    A further extension to this would be the ability…

  15. Add a way to create custom pen colors for each notebook. For instance I color code stuff for each notebook I have but I don't want to go searching for all the colors I saved. Instead I want to name a custom color pallet so the pen and highlighter slots change color at one instead of individually changing the colors.

  17. The other thing, as soon as you type somewhere beside the Flashcard-frame you’re cicked out from the cards and have to start again - this is really enjoying!

  19. I would really like to be able to delete notebooks when they are open, rather than having to go back to the document menu view. I often have many notebook tabs open and find that some are not needed anymore. It would be more efficient if I could delete those notebooks directly, rather than having to first locate where they are stored.

  20. -be able to move the toolbar to the bottom of the screen without moving the navigation bar.
    -to be able to move things around on the screen based on the document that I am editing.
    -be able to choose how much the zoom window moves for auto-advance because I always have to move it anyway since it doesn't follow the lines on the lined template

    -For example, we can move the toolbar to the bottom of the screen, but that changes the zoom editing to be at the top of the screen and the document at the bottom. I want…
