  1. 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.

  3. Allow the addition of tags for elements to make them searchable.

  4. It would be great, and useful for my organisation, if we could change the colours of files instead of having them all blue!

  6. Hello guys,
    I've got a cool idea :). If you could implement a safe exam mode where the teacher can upload an exam and students can answer it on GoodNotes and if they leave the tab, the exam gets ended (just like exam.net). That would be excellent for teachers, schools, students which love their iPads and also helpful for the climate change.

  8. With the recent update bringing the welcome change of more than 3 colors in the toolbar, and then the return of the 3 pen widths, the toolbar has become more crammed on the right side.

    There is some unused space on the left side of the toolbar, and now would be a great time to make use of that space for when the iPad is in horizontal mode and has more than enough space to accommodate all the regular icons

  9. Chrome has a feature where you can group tabs together. Can we get something like this in goodnotes so that we can group different note tabs together? I have many notes open at once, and it would be nice if I could group their tabs together so its more organized.

  11. I often take pictures of the chalkboard/slides in class and put it in my goodnotes.
    The square board is warped into a trapezoid because of perspective.
    I'd like a crop-function where you place the corners where they should be (make a trapezoid on the original image) which then is reshaped into a rectangle in goodnotes.
    This would be extremely useful.
    Google photos already has this feature if you need examples :)

  12. On both the iPhone and iPad, when I scan a document (not necessarily multiple) and click "Save", it takes too long to import the document/s I scanned. Sometimes the time it takes exceeds a minute. I hope you release an update to expedite the importing time because when I scan documents with Apple Notes, it saves them instantly.

  13. Easy way to replace pencil color palates between dark colors (dark colors to write on white/light pages and bright colors to write on black/dark pages)

    Replacing all colors while switching documents and pages can be annoying.

  14. I'm using the letters of the presentation well when I study them or as a scribe, but I want to adjust the size of the letters and the time when the letters disappear.

  15. It would be very useful to be able to temporarily hide folders or documents.
    When in school or in Uni we often have a lot of different subjects, thus it would be handy to be able to hide the ones that are currently not used to make the "document" page more organized without having to permanently delete the unused documents.

  16. Would be great to be able to choose different types of strokes (discontinuous), to have wider pens (more than 2mm), and measurements ( a ruler so, if we want to print, know previously the scale)

  17. It would be useful, once a single recording is selected, to be able to show only that single audio in the toolbar and not all the recordings glued together, because the more recordings one has, the harder it becomes to navigate them with precision and accuracy.

  18. So if someone has set up a database like DevonThink or their own folder hierarchy, they cannot save a GoodNotes file there. This is an extremely significant disadvantage for the workflow. Additionally, there are no deeplinks for individual documents or folders, which hinders the workflow when working with mind maps or similar tools.

    I kindly request that GoodNotes improve in terms of deeplinking and individual saving.
