  1. I use goodnotes to annotate slides, and sometimes I download huge slideshows (100+ slides) having the ability to put multiple pages on one pages (similar to when you print multiple pages on one page) would be a HUGE help when annotating big slideshows. Thanks!

  2. when I was taking notes, I needed a picture from the page 1 to page 5. I made a copy of that image and tried to drag that image down to the 5th page but I couldn't move several pages down when I am holding the the copy of the image.
    the only way was to make copy on each page. meaning when you make a copy you can only drag it around whatever page shown on a screen, no further.

  4. Trello etc are great for collaboration, tracking etc. In Trello I can add typed notes and see into linked Dropbox folders. Is it possible for GoodNotes to work with Trello and link named notes to Trello cards?

  5. I'm using GN5 to read my Q&A textbook, and I want to be able to erase my markings so that I can reuse my book, but it's tedious having to go through each page individually and press clear page. I want to be able to press Clear Document

  6. I am a student who uses GoodNotes to study.
    I'm mailing to suggest features that would be great when I study in GoodNotes.
    It's moving to a page you've seen before, which is similar to the previous channel feature of the tv remote.

    While studying, there are many cases of moving and looking to refer to pages that are far away, and then returning from the previous ones.
    If this function is added, it seems that the efficiency of study can be improved.
    Thanks for reading :)

  7. Make an icon next to the existing zoom indentations that allows the indentation line to move

    I always have to click left indent too many times to get to where I want to write

  8. Any template, for any screen size, should be resizable. I.e. instead of "Ruled Narrow" or "Ruled Wide" There should be one "Ruled" with the option to change to whatever size / scale I wish.

    This is especially important for the sheet music template which are too small for writing. (At least on my ipad)

  9. When I scan a document, there are always white bars around it--I guess you're padding it t the aspect ratio of the current template or something. Don't do that (or make it a setting)--it's a waste of screen real estate.

  10. I would love it if when using the zoom feature there was a smaller tool bar above the zoom window. It breaks up the flow to have to reach all the way to the other side of the screen to change the pen or color I am using. If it was completely customizable like with the pens, highlighters etc. I choose and able to be moved around the screen that would be great too.

  11. I am a mechanical engineering student and I need to write many large matrices in my notes and calculations daily. At least half of my class of 100 use ipads for notes and problem sets and I have heard the same idea from many people.

    It would be incredibly useful if you added the large matrix bracket to the shapes that the shape tool recognizes. I mean "[" and "]" but with the ability to draw them as large as needed with straight lines.

    This feature would be a game changer for many engineering, math, and science disciplines and I…

  13. Hello, I'm using GoodNotes to organize the pdfs for my grad school classes and wanted to make two feature requests:

    1. Please make the character length for document titles longer on Mac and iPadOS. When dealing with multiple documents from the same author in a single folder, it quickly becomes confusing because there is very little room to display the document name. I can understand this limitation on iPhone, but it should not be an issue on a Mac.

    Screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/XK11jrX

    1. Would an integration with Zotero (Mac app only, sadly) be possible? Ideally, I'd imagine a workflow where I can use…

  15. Currently we are limited to 2mm max for pen weights which is simply too small for some projects.

  16. I would love to have the option to have a "magnetic grid" used in combination with a geometric form tool to draw some lines that start exactly at the corners of the grid.

  18. Reduce notebook file size, because when the notebooks get more and more after time it’s uses a lot of storage.

  19. when you go into the editing page for a color you saved, it does not provide the hex number, making it difficult to make highlighters and stuff the same color.

  20. Any ability to easily add links and tags would be great...
    But look at roam research and think about how you might add automatic indexing and cross linking!

    Would be killer.
