  2. I want to read in Goodnotes such as comic books, and I would like to be able to choose between right and left scrolling, as it varies from book to book.

  4. Merging pdf, either between existing goodnotes files or those in my files, is something I do fairly regularly. I have to usually turn to online sources that are sometimes a little sketchy looking rather than paying high fees to do something that should be simple. I would love to see this ability added to goodnotes!

  6. The folder organization will be better as expandable list structure like on MacOS or MS OneNote.
    So it would be possible to see folder and underfolder.

  7. GoodNotes for Mac used to be great before they switched to Catalyst. These problems have persisted for years and keeps getting worse.

    Problems:
    - Can't print notes with images - None of the images actually print out, just blank space. This sucks when you make your notes in GoodNotes and want to print them out to prepare for lecture.

    • Can't drag-and-drop images anymore. No pasting from a Word document, or cut/paste from Preview.

    • Importing an image comes in with weird sizing

    • Crop tool is missing when right clicking on images and it depends on the type of image format

    • Drag-and-Drop…

  8. I would love to see an add feature to outlines where one would be able to make folders/subdivisions … for example I can create and outline for chapters in a text book, then creat subdivisions for each section of the chapter (I.e., chapter 1 dropdown menu 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc…)

  10. Being able to upload a transparent png or a layered pdf and be able to grab a section of that image with the lasso to copy and paste while maintaining transparency. Currently you can just select the whole image and crop or drag in each item in individually which is unnecessarily painful.

  11. GoodNotes on MacOS needs changes to the Text box.

    It runs off the edge of the page. So if I am typing the words go right to the edge then the text will run to the next line. No margin at all. This means when I start to type in a text box and type more than one line, I then need to move the text box to the left so I can then resize it to move it back to the right. This is pretty inconvenient. Should be a way to leave a margin on the page.

  13. I am really enjoying the Flashcard template.

    However, I like my notes to be as neat as possible. It would be great if templates for lined and squared paper Flashcards could be created for when writing out the Flashcards, but when studying them, the lines/grid lines are removed to look as though your hand written notes are all aligned and not wonky! :)

  14. Now it is hard to write near the edge of the page while zooming in.
    For example, writing on the right edge of the page with the right-hand needs your hand to float.
    For another example, using the lasso tool, once the pencil detected released near the edge of the screen, the selection region will be confirmed.

    Adding a scrolling "margin" would be the best solution; allow scroll outside the page.

  15. Hi, I'm a student from Brazil, and unfortunately I don't have an Apple iPad or mac, so please, make it available for android. I have a Samsung s20 FE and I really wish I could use GoodNotes. My favorite function is the handwriting recognizer. I am waiting for good news. Thank you.

  17. I always use goodnotes in math class. If I use a ruler as an image and then want to rotate it, the scale changes. this is very bad for a ruler. it would be a very good improvement of goodnotes if i could fix graphics so that the scaling no longer changes when you rotate them.

  18. Hello GoodNotes Team,

    I'm a teacher and we are currently testing tablet-classes (iPads). I asked my student to create a GoodNotes document for my lessons and share it with my, for me to view their notes. Now comes my suggestion, could you add a function to create folder in which shared-documents can be sorted/moved? That way I could sort them by class/subject, which would make it clearly arranged and much easier to find a specific shared-document.

  19. Currently the flash card is shown in the same document, so one needs to open different notebooks to read flashcards in them.it will be very beneficial if all the flash cards from different notebooks appear at a single place so that space repetition can be utilised at a single place in a better way.

  20. It would improve content visibility and visual hierarchy. Unfortunately, there currently is no easy and quick workaround.
