  1. If you open a note or a folder from your favorites when you close the note or folder it goes back to your favorites. Can you make it so it goes to the folder that the note or folder was in?

  2. Hello,
    In my opinion the UI needs a refresh, it takes too much space on the screen when taking notes, we should have the option to hides things we don't use, thus clearing the menu bar for things we actually need, for example If I use a pen and marker only, I do not need to see the magnifier, shapes, text,laser icons, and also we need more than 3 pen\marker sizes & colors. to up the productivity for people who have to take fast notes (engineering), and want to save time with 1 quick click do it rather than do…

  3. Hello:

    As you may know, in education epub formarts are very useful to make digital and shareable content between student's and teachers and to make projects in wich studen's can learn and express theirselves creatively. The issue is that there ain't no very useful apps to make annotations or to grade these kind of assignmets. Could you please consider this suggestion?

    Thank you for letting me share this idea with you.

  4. Ich hätte gerne die Möglichkeit, Ordner für eine bessere Übersichtlichkeit einzufärben. Und auch die einzelnen Registerkarten würde ich gerne einfärben können, um schneller etwas zu finden.

  5. Sometimes I want to write sentences straight on a blank area from an imported PDF. However, most of the time, my handwriting won’t be straight if sentences are long.

    If implement a gridline function in which the user can click a button on the toolbar and show gridlines on the files. It can let the user write straight handwriting sentences on any place of the PDF easily and neatly.

  6. It would be very helpful if there was a "mark as read" option in GoodNotes, especially when you have a lot of texts to be read so you can see at a glance which ones you have read and which ones are still to be read. Currently, I am using the "tick emoji" in the document name which is an alternative but being able to actually tick off documents and mark them as read would be so helpful!

  7. Es wäre schön wenn man die Gliederung in den Notizen und Notizbüchern untergliedern kann. Quasi eine Überschrift für eine Seiten und Unterüberschriften für die nächsten Seiten erstellen kann.

  8. Es wäre gut wenn man beim Stift eine gestrichelte Linie aus wählen könnte.

    Geht ja schon beim Lasso Werkzeug das entsprechend mit bleibenden Linien und allen Fähigkeiten des Stiftes.

  9. The thickness of the shape tools is changed automatically when the thickness of the pen change previously, but currently the thickness of the shape tools is fixed and it is so fine.

    For instance, when I’m trying to draw lines, the lines looks weirdly fine.

  10. I would like something that darkens the paper and inverts black and white colors. I know we have dark paper but if we want to print it out that would mean we would have to either print that background color or manually change every single page back to white. And if we used dark paper and typed or wrote in white (or vice versa) and switched the background color we would have to manually change that too.

  11. Every single time I paste text into GoodNotes from another source I have to resize, change font and MOST ANNOYINGLY undo the “indentation” and “misalignment” of text by using the return and backspace. The indentation happens even when the original text is all parallel and doesn’t have an indentation. I literally spend about 3-4 minutes each page just editing what I pasted to look uniform, parallel and neat. WHY!

  12. I appreciate the setting of hyperlinks coming from other apps such as Keynote or InDesign, etc. However, I think it would be more useful the possibility to preview all the bookmarks on a sidebar whenever I want, being able to add shortcuts to any of my files inside the GoodNotes app.

  13. Need to be more intuitive & simulative when using the App, so we don't need to always try to find the right function & apply it to the document.
    Thanks a lot !

  14. It would be good if you are reminded when the flashcards are due and then an automatic query is made. So far, at the end of a learning session, it says when you should come back to learn the flashcards. However, if you want to study the vocabulary on that day, it says another day because it assumes you have already studied the vocabulary. So you have to press "Study again", although the flashcards have not been learned on that day.

  15. Good notes is the perfect app for maths practise as maths requires a lot of practise. It would be great if you could just select a set of equations and the app would automatically detect the variables and numbers and solve the equations. This would be of tremendous help

  16. Just saw your experimental feature of learning with flashcards. What I would wish as an improvement is having the flashcard page (Question/Answer) on the right side of an page, when creating it. Moreover I want it not to appear underneath the scroll direction reading through my normal script. I want to see it maybe indicating that it exist by seeing a small border of it on the right side. Check my sketch in the attachment.

  17. Adding a page in GoodNotes currently, you just pull at the end of a notebook as if you are navigating to a new page.

    Imagine if pulling to add a new page had the option to duplicate the current page or changing the page template.

  19. When do handwritten notes direct on a landscape oriented page (in big paper formats like A3) there is no room on the right to scroll out of the page, having enough space that my hand stays on the iPad so that I can continue writhing.
    Example: When you use a horizontal A4 page and zoom in that you can straight write on the page you can move the page more and more to the right while you are filling the paper. Once you are reaching 2/3 of the page you can still continue scrolling right and there will be this…

  20. 是否可以在工具栏加上一个锁定当前页面不可编辑的功能?因为页面长期处于可编辑状态很多时候在复习阅读笔记的时候会不小心触碰到里面的内容,有时还会误删一些东西或者不小心打乱了当前页面的排版。这样笔记还要从新编辑一下。如果有一个当前页面锁定功能就可以防止这些误操作。希望得到贵公司回复。谢谢。
