  1. When you are in the classroom sometimes you take a picture of a projected slide from the side, so the picture is in “diagonal” or angled. There are apps that allow to adjust for the tilted angle to return the picture so it looks like it’s facing forward. It’s better, and more readable. It also takes less room from you note since you don’t have excess corners

    The request idea is to be able to adjust the corners so the picture adjusts the angle and it looks facing forward

  2. After the new update, we got the option to have more than 3 colours in our tool bar, but we lost the quick access to pen size curser because of that.
    Definitely a downgrade.
    Having to click on the little icon to change the size is so annoying and time consuming.
    So please bring the old version back, where we can have our 3 pen sizes directly onto our toolbar.

  3. Option to temporarily and quickly Disable the Top Tabs. In a way... like the toggle to go from View to Edit Mode and back. Basically need a button to press... to turn off the tabs. Pressing the button again will turns the tabs back on.

    I am left-hander. Apparently, I also "write-up-side-down". See Image.

    Because of this.. my palm constantly hits the tabs - and the notebook will changes. This happens all the time. Everyday. Multiple times a day.

  5. This would allow you to align elements like text, images or stickers with greater ease instead of trying to 'eyeball it'. (Similar to how Canva or Adobe does this on their design interface) When an object is selected and you are moving it around the page, a line will appear alongside another element on the page, and the object will stick to that line when you move it close, indicating that it has snapped into the same position.

  7. Create links to pages within the documents with stickers and images, not just text.

  8. When you open the index card overview, the font is usually far too small to really read what is written on the cards. You should be able to change the size of the cards by swiping or dragging them larger and smaller. Then you can read the cards and don't have to search for a long time.

  9. When I study I want some tabs open together every time depending on which topic I am currently working on, like my lecture the flash cards of the lectures, the homework related to the lectures, etc…
    When switching subject if I don’t want a mess within the tabs I have to close and open each notes, every time
    I suggest the ability to group some notes give the group a name and allow to switch between them. (Similar to tab groups on safari web browser)

  10. Hello GoodNotes Team,

    I am writing to share some feedback that I believe could significantly enhance the user experience of your application on Windows.

    Customizable Keyboard and Mouse Shortcuts:

    It would be immensely helpful if users were granted the ability to customize their own keyboard and mouse shortcuts. This personalization would allow for a smoother workflow and could cater to the individual preferences and habits of each user.

    Default Cursor Tool:

    I have noticed that the app currently requires users to manually select the cursor or image tool to perform basic actions like selecting elements or moving images. For an…

  11. Reverse flashcards

    It would be great to be able to flip question and answer for a study session. For example, sometimes it’s great to have the question be a vocabulary word and the answer be the definition. However, sometimes it is good to reverse that and see the definition as the question and the word as the answer. Alternatively it would also be good to also have a mode that flipped back and forth between these modes.

  12. Would like the ability to toggle the page number to stay on at all times. Also the ability to tap the page number to search for different pages. Where is the scroll bar? It is not intuitive having to use your finger in order to see the page number and go into the settings to search for a specific page number.

  14. I love that we can change the colour of files in GoodNotes 6 now, but I really want more options!! Have a file “preset” and add your own button would be great to make it customizable. Make it the same as adding new pen colours, with a button to open up more preset collections.

  15. I would like the possibility to use continuous pages instead of a set size of a page. The width is okay, but the possibility to scroll down more or less endlessly would be nice. I think this way my notes are more structured because I can have one topic on a page and not over several pages. I know this concept from OneNote and this is the only function I really miss.

  16. Please could you include te reo Maori (the Maori language) in your supported languages. There is huge Maori language regeneration in New Zealand supported by new generations of Maori who have been schooled in their language and non-Maori who are keen learners of the Maori language. There would be great uptake by New Zealand users of goodnotes.

  18. Description:
    I suggest adding features to GoodNotes that provide greater control and flexibility in creating notes and designs. These improvements include:

    Precise Alignment and Equitable Distribution: Adding a contextual menu that allows aligning objects (such as text boxes and stickers) to the left, top, right, bottom, vertical center, and horizontal center. Additionally, enabling equitable distribution and equidistant alignment between objects would be fantastic!

    Object Grouping: Allowing grouping objects to manipulate them as a unit, facilitating the organization and editing of multiple elements collectively.

    Precise Size Definition: Implementing the ability to precisely define the size of objects by entering specific values…

  20. I use Goodnotes for all of my university note-taking, but do not find the notebooks sufficient for essay/report writing. It would be very useful if it were possible to create a document, rather than a 'notebook', geared more towards typical word-processing, so that I can keep my essays and notes all in one place!
