  1. It would be great if we can have FaceID support for this. Not only should it be an option for individual notebooks, folders, and quick notes, but to have the ability for opening the app itself - while also including a time feature (locking every time you exit or after 5 minutes of not using it). With the ability to choose from a combination - for instance I want to have FaceID to open the app and upon entry I want certain notebooks/folders locked for an extra layer of security.

  2. Please add a feature to make the text adjust to the added image, the same way it is done in Notability. Your app is great, but this particular feature is sorely lacking! I hope you will make an improvement soon. Thanks for your work!

  3. because i use the flash card sets to study for my psychology test, i have ended up with them cluttering the documents screen. it would be nice to have a way to merge them all into a combined flash card stack so that i just study one set and add it to the pile for me to study all at once later in the year

  4. It would be great to have an option for a larger canvas. The current tab design is 3 levels. Especially with the new customisable toolbars, if you don’t use page tabs. Everything can fit in one bar, increasing canvas size.

  5. I would like to be able to create a general notebook "template" of PDFs/notes for my students and share a copy with them. Then they have it on their own devices and can edit/write in the notes as we go. Every student would have their own copy of the master notebook, but edit in their own ways.

  6. I proposes a new learning support feature for the GoodNotes app, inspired by the widely used "red sheet" study method in Japan. Specifically, it replicates digitally the ability to highlight text or diagrams with a green marker and visually hide those parts for memorization purposes. This feature will allow users to efficiently memorize content they wish to learn.

    Feature Details
    Dedicated Marker: Users can highlight the parts they wish to memorize using a dedicated color marker (e.g., green).
    Transparency Mode: Once the user exits the note's editing mode, the highlighted parts are automatically hidden.
    Reveal/Hide Content: Hidden content can be…

  7. When you want to move text to right right/left, you have to use the move tool. However, it would cause some (unintentional) changes in the y-direction as well. So an option to lock the axes to only x or y axis would be useful!

  8. We should have the option to create/edit hyperlinks within Goodnotes. Pages get added and moved around and mess up the hyperlinks and we need the ability to fix them so the hyperlinks in our notebook or journal are still usable.

  9. Liebe Entwickler,

    Ich fände es sehr hilfreich, wenn man bei Goodnotes die Schriftart und auch die Schriftgröße ändern könnte. Ich nutze das Magic Keyboard und dort gibt es nur eine Schriftart. Die Schriftarten lassen sich lediglich in dem Textfeld ändern.

    Außerdem fände ich es sehr hilfreich, wenn man den Text fließend schreiben könnte. Ist eine Seite voll muss man immer auf das blaue Symbol klicken, um eine Seite hinzuzufügen. Es wäre viel besser, wenn der überflüssige Text sich automatisch verschieben würde auf die nächste Seite oder nächstes Blatt.

    Vielen Dank für die Möglichkeit Feedback geben zu dürfen!

  10. Please create a sidebar with dividers and subjects and files to make navigation easier. It's more convenient than clicking file into file just to find one document.

  11. Feature to apply one or more labels to a single page of a notebook.
    Similar to how email labels work within GMail.

    This is a different idea or for a different use than the ‘outline’ thumbnails. The outline feature seems to serve best as a table of contents. My idea here is of a combination of a table of contents + index. I realize that more than one outline label can be assigned to a page.

    Include a thumbnail screen that would show all pages associated with a label.
    The thumbnail screen could be dedicated to 1 notebook [document].
    Or…

  12. I don’t know why. Writing with the original Apple fountain pen in app like notes produces very neat and beautiful handwriting, but it is ugly when I try to use the fountain pain in Goodnotes. Do you have any suggestion? 😅

  13. The Windows version cannot be used offline. This is not practical, for example, at universities if you cannot access your notes and create new ones because there is a problem with the WiFi.

    GoodNotes should create offline notebooks and sync them online. Like on iPad.

  14. I love using my stylist to highlight. But sometimes I find my hands to be shaky so I perfer to hold and select text to highlight. I’m proposing adding colours to the hold to highlight feature. It’s limited to just yellow. PLEASE ADD ALL COLOURS TO HOLD TO HIGHLIGHT FEATURE.

  15. It would be great if there was the possibility to pan with the middle button of the mouse, when working on Goodnotes for Windows. Or also zoom with a combination including the middle button (such as Shift+Middle button).

  16. allow the user to draw a determined stroke and then allow the user to set that as a stroke type for a line he draws. like if the user wants to draw a wavy line where two are parallel to one another or draw a line that is just a repeating design like with a dotted line that uses for example the drawing of an ice cream instead of the dot.

  17. 안드로이드는 테블릿용으로 밖에 안됩니다. 펜이 있는갤럭시폰의 경우는 사용하기 매우 힘듭니다.

    아이폰에서는 아주 사용하기 좋은데, 왜 이렇게 운영하는지 이해하기 힘듭니다.

  18. Dashed lines and curves would be great. I often find myself needing to draw a dashed line in graphs, or in hidden sides of 3d shapes. It’s a must in a note taking app. The implementation of this feature shouldn’t be a challenge for any programmer, especially as it’s already exists in Goodnotes 5 code. For example, the dashed curved in the Lasso tool, or the way Goodnotes 5 draws shapes. If you use Standard Eraser to erase alternating sub curves, you are left with a dashed curve, except now it’s not functioning as a curve and you can’t edit…

  19. Please audio recordings need some basically feature to be implemented, otherwise their use is almost impossible.
    1 first of all, there is no point in showing in the time bar all recordings at the same time. Just show the corrent track, otherwise it is almost impossible to navigate to a specific point
    2 It is equally important to have the possibility to rename the recordings. It is so difficult find the right records just from the order or the date

    these 2 are the critical iussues. Other good feature may be add the possibility to export audio files, change the…
