  1. Add a reading mode view for goodnotes for windows. Firstly I am very personally excited for it being available on windows and I cannot wait for it to reach detailed finishing. Also adding a feature to quickly add custom sticker packages is requested

  2. Como está chegando ao GoodNotes 5 o modo Digitação seria excelente que adicionassem mais funções de texto!! Especialmente o parágrafo justificado, de maneira a manter o texto perfeito na folha, sem quebras de linha, etc… Por favor, vejam isso o mais rápido possível!! Obrigado! Uso o GoodNotes tanto no Mac, para digitar, quanto no iPad para escrever!

  3. I have been using GoodNotes for 2 years now and love it so much! However as someone who has terrible handwriting I use the write to text option everyday. I love it however why the heck does it not have color presets??? All the others writing options have it so why not the text option? This along with saving multiple default fonts, colors, and sizes. Thank you :)

  4. Currently, GoodNotes offers a few basic actions in Apple Shortcuts.
    I would love to see more advanced actions that allow users to customize their workflows to a greater extend.

    Here are some automations/workflows I could imagine:

    • Shortcut to open the notebook corresponding to the lecture your currently sitting in (by checking your current calendar events)
    • Every evening, automatically check whether I’ve written something to my diary today, if not, prompt me to do so and open the last page
    • Every evening, check which lecture notes were edited, then export them and share them with a friend who doesn’t use GoodNotes

  6. Make Extra Margin Space In Imported PowerPoints
    It would be super nice to have extra space to write sentences and phrases on the side or under imported PowerPoint instead of only being able to write on the slide. Writing on the slide helps highlight terms etc, but doesn't help any extra information a teacher/professor may say out loud, that's not a part of the slide.

  7. Please add the possibility to scale the background opacity. With a lower opacity of the background on import, changes would be clearly visible.

  8. What would be great would be a feature where you could insert a Cartesian plane and type 1 or more functions in a field for them to then be drawn on top. This would be harder than implementing parabola or trigonometry templates but the result would look far better then a hand drawn option and will be more accurate. Looking at some notes in the community section it's clear to see that a lot of people would benefit from such a feature.

    • Bullet points and SUB bullet points option in tool bar
    • Change text size through drop down text size menu instead if pressing + and -
    • Presets for Title, Heading, Heading 2, Heading 3 text sizes
    • Being able to choose a default text font
    • Fixing common bug issues like not being able to type, the text box losing its colour, font and text size when copying and pasting, more stable experience

  9. When you write on a din4 template and scan a paper document that is also din4 the ist going to be bigger than the template I use. It might be slightly but the difference makes the papers seem like a different size and on the side edges it is not fixed anymore. I want The paper just to scroll down but now it moves to the side. To fix it I can zoom full out but then the brightness of the pages won’t fill the howl display. Please make it the same size so it won’t move a side.

  10. I feel that the flashcards would be perfect if I was able to flip them and get tested on the "answer" side. when I'm studying a language, I want to be able to get tested on both languages. And if it's possible, it would be amazing to be able to mess with the setting and get a mix of either side of the flashcards in a study sesh. Also the ability to randomise flashcards would be great. In general, more customisation for how we want to be tested would be awesome. Other than that, I'm really happy with this flashcard…

  11. Make GoodNotes available for the Xiaomi Mi Pad 5. I see it gave an Early Accees for only Samsungs Tablets. I think it can work the same on Xiaomi Tablet Devices with Sytlus support. Is it the same technologie and a very well Tablet with a good price.

  12. Ich wünschte mir eine Übersichtsfunktion bei dem Lernset, damit man eine Übersicht aller Karten hat ohne alle durchzuswipen zu müssen.

    Englisch:

    I would like to see an overview function on the learning set so that you have an overview of all the cards without having to swipe through them all.

  13. In the new update you hided the thickness of the pen under the button. Its very uncomfortable. Can you please consider to let the person to change settings (tool panel) himself — those who need more colors, would be able to hide the thickness,,, and others will be able to hide more colors.

    Thank you!

  14. A mini favorites toolbar to add our favorite colors for pens, highlighters, eraser, etc. would be nice to move around on the screen like in Notability!

  15. Hey

    I‘m studying philosophy and we have a lot of PDFs we have to read. While reading it is sometimes necessary to make notes beside the text, but often the PDF itself does not give enough space to properly write anything.

    Currently I use the MarginAdjuster app (on iPad) to extend the space left/right to each PDF page and THEN import it into GoodNotes.

    It would be awesome to have some similar functionality directly in the app itself.

    Thanks!

  16. i have lots of notebooks, some use the same exact colors all the time and some vary each use. i’d love to be able to set a color palette to one notebook, like my planner, and be able to just always have those colors set aside and set as favorites when i switch into that notebook.

  17. On GoodNotes, I have different slide packets for classes, I have to open them one at a time by selecting one, going to back, then selecting another one. If there was a select button to open multiple documents at once, it would be great

  18. Please add a ruler it is really hard to do geometry exercises without one. Ok you can make the line straight but you can’t measure the distance especially when the line isn’t horizontal or vertical. It is also next to impossible to correctly calculate degrees. Thank you in advance.

  19. When making a card it would be nice to have all functions available, such as draw, type and pictures.

    One idea could be to have the classical top menu where the pen, eraser, hilighter, etc are found but also include a “Type” option that allows the user to type notes in the center of the card, just like it is in the current version. After that, the other tools can be used to add onto the text, such as hilighting or creating hand written annotations.

    It would also be useful to add both pictures and text to the same card.
