  1. The ability to create your own columns on a blank sheet of paper so that you are able to use the entire page and not just the left/middle/right of the page.

    Also the two and three column template is currently broken and will only let you write in one of the columns (as seen in the attached image)

  3. I am creating a notebook which includes more than 300 pages. There may be several recordings in each page of my notes.
    Therefore the current way of locating recording is almost impossible for me. Could you add a new feature for inserting a recording timestamp in the notes, so that when I click on it, the corresponding recording will automatically pop up?

  4. Can we get a toolbar update that lets me toggle how the space is used? I want to see all of my colors at a time and I would love it if this bar could move to allow for the space change.

  5. Apple’s new squeeze triggered mini menu enabling us to access GoodNotes menu options is wonderful. However what would make it especially useful, even essential, is the ability to toggle the pen tool on and off, to switch back and forth from navigation (ie planner links) to writing.

  6. I wish you can develop a page that users can choose and design the theme that the users like, not based on their iOS appearance. Hope you allow the users to create their own themes.

  7. Dear GoodNotes Team, I am writing to express my appreciation for the exceptional work you’ve done with the GoodNotes app, which has significantly enhanced my note-taking experience.
    I would like to suggest an update that I believe many users, including myself, would find incredibly beneficial. It would be wonderful if the pen library could be expanded to include a wider variety of writing and drawing tools. This enhancement would not only improve the versatility of the app but also cater to the diverse preferences and styles of your user base.
    Thank you for considering this suggestion. I am looking forward…

  8. When sharing notes, please add a function to disable writing except by the owner who created the note. I would like a function to allow only viewing by non-owners.

  9. ~It would be better to have multiple audio recording split up, instead of having one huge line of recordings. Having them split up will give the option to pin point exactly the part of the recording you want to go back to.
    ~Improve the audio recording to go pixel by pixel so the notes are better synced together with the voice.

  10. The MX mice series from Logitech is a pretty popular device. It includes a software called Logi Option+ that allows per app specific customization of the mouse buttons. For me, it was a life saver when scrolling documents was not working for Mac. I was able to set one side button to scroll up and the other to scroll down (each button was mimicking pressing the up or down arrow key, respectively).

    Now that the issue was solved, I am using one of the side buttons for "undo". It works great during long studying sessions when I am highlighting a…

  12. When the pdf background you want to write is black, I hope the reverse mode (night mode) function is added for those who prefer white background.

  13. This would put images in line with the new behavior of the lasso tool, so that images can move across pages by dragging just like highlighted handwriting can.

  14. When the text box is enlarged after pasting using noose function , the text box horizontal angle is slightly going up to the right side. This fuction is useful to quickly adjust the text size. Please make it straight after pasting & enlargang the copied part.

    Really thanks for your efforts.

  15. When creating a flashcard, both question and answer pages are displayed. To edit any of them, we need to tap on the edit button.
    Why not let the users directly edit them (like when notes are created) without clicking on edit button and then on the done button?

  17. While using an eraser on an existing line, the whole line gets erased. Sometimes you just want to shorten it a bit and not redraw the whole thing. Especially in machine drawings etc. Converting a drawn line into just another pen mark after it’s drawn will help a lot. Please consider it.

  18. Reseach result need to improved
    I have searched my working file with '5주' and got the result of 164 from Goodnote and only 6 from flexil.

    Goodnote shows individual word result like 5 & 주, However flexil shows the combined result of 5주 only.

    I hope goodnote improve the search function.
    Really thanks

  19. There are TONS of default fonts I will NEVER use but I have also downloaded a lot from iFont. However, I constantly have to weed through all the system fonts to get to the ones I use regularly to see which font looks best for a particular section of text.

  20. Let’s imagine you have an image of the anatomy of the ankle which has everyone bone named. It would be great if we could add a sticker on top of the name to hide it and when clicking on it in read mode it disappears to reveal the name of the bone. That would be super useful for med student and others as well.
