Infinite Canvas
The biggest pro of digital note taking is the boundaries of traditional one and paper that it breaks.
Studies have shown that learning efficiency and understanding of a subject is increased by higher order learning and mind mapping. For these techniques, an infinite canvas is needed.
It would be highly appreciated if this function would be added.
Thank you.

Hi GoodNotes, even though you added the scrolling direction to "vertical", it doesn't change the need for an infinitely long sheet. Especially since you're saying it's a file on its own... why don't you just support such a kind of file. I don't need to export it to other apps.... it would be comfortable to sit in a meeting and just write down stuff that's being said or stuff that's in my mind without the need/hassle of a new page...

Exactly!
I am trying to take notes on a mobile app screen flow and I could only fit 5 screens.
I can think of many solutions to this problem but the simplest solution is infinitely long sheets, the only reason I am using good notes instead any other note taking apps is the notepad feature and the dotted paper. -

There already exists the vertical scrolling and basically that gives you infinite scrolling after creating the next page without worries.
For pasting text longer than one page then this is a problem, and should be solved -

Dear Goodnotes, infinately long sheet! You are not listening to your customers are you? Do you have someone in a position of authority who has stubbornly refuses to have an infinately long page like apple notes or notability, if so, fire them!

would prefer it as an option. Like a notebook with infinitely long sheets and others without

I cannot use goodness 5. Infinate scrolling is essential to my journaling and general notetaking. Its hard to understand how a leading contendor for a notetaking app does not have this. Please fix it.

When pasting text that is longer than a page , it needs to be broken up into smal pastes which is a major pain in the ****

This is the one feature that means I have to choose another app.
When you are typing and you reach the end of a page you can’t see where you are typing, this is the only note taking app that doesn’t automativpcally flow onto a new page, Otherwise the app is brilliant. But this is a major flaw for me. -

If you add an infinite canvas in all directions I wouldn’t have to use OneNote anymore specifically for this feature.

They should allow the view to be like in iBooks, scrolling vs flip pages

Is this feature in the works? I use the iPad for wireframing and flow charting, and running out of space while working is kind of a deal breaker for me.
Even if it was possible to just increase the size of the page that would help!

A workaround is to make a custom gridnet (you can make one here: https://incompetech.com/graphpaper/square.html) export it as pfd. and then import is as a new page in goodnotes. So you make it obscenely large and then you get it as large as you want. Obviously a page that you can expand as you wish would be better.

There should be a color fill in box when making shapes so you can quickly change the color inside instead of having to color

I just want to be able to scroll vertically, like the invention of digital screens implies...
Take a look at NotesPlus to see how they do. I'm using that and waiting for GoodNotes to implement vertical continuous scrolling before I migrate. -

In Onenote I used letter sized pages to create printable lecture notes and an infinitely long page for lecture presentations. It was wonderful to be able to do both. I’m trying to abandon Onenote as they degrade it with every update, but will be stuck using it for presentations until GoodNotes offers infinitely long pages.

Ahahah i prefer that App because he doesn't have it.
If you do it please leave a bigger mark than the mark of Notability, because I want to print all my data later. -

Yes this is a massive problem for me especially when working through long equations I have to mess about with flipping the page it would be so much better to have it like onenote

Unfortunately the app is completely useless to me without this feature.
As sad as it sounds even the basic Notes app which preinstalled on the iPad has infinite pages by default, while GoodeNotes does not.
When taking notes and especially when brainstorming it is just so uncomfortable to always have to start a new page.
