  1. When giving a lesson as a teacher (or generally presenting something with GoodNotes) it's always difficult to view your personal notes on your iPad while sharing the class notes on a projector. Give the option to have a private "notes" page next to each standard page that is publicly shared via AppleTV.

  2. The side-by-side function is good, but it occupies the other app screen for use. Would it be better to have same note but allows two page alignment like a book? So that we would not have to use other app screen, and we view 2 pdf PowerPoint pages at once using one screen.

  3. The typing experience on Mac is far behind the competition (Notability) at the moment. Unfortunately, the text-box tool is not working out. It would be much better to have the option to type within certain template lines. As a student, it would be great to be able to more easily switch between writing on my iPad and typing on my Mac. Please consider this because I know a lot of people stick to other apps because GoodNotes lacks this feature. It would truly push this amazing app from great to beyond excellent if I could have all my notes in…

  4. Meine Idee wäre, dass man mehrere Farbpaletten erstellen kann und zwischen denen hin und her scrollen kann.
    Man könnte sich so zum Beispiel auf der ersten „Seite“ eine Palette für die Arbeit/Schule erstellen und auf der darauf folgenden eine für seinen Kalender.

  5. I often draw all over a page, but then can’t read the text underneath after. There should be a quick and easy way to go back and forth between the unannotated and the annotated page, just like the / button lets you go back and forth between the original and edited photo on Lightroom.

  6. I use a lot of colors, and sometimes want to color match something. A color matching tool that can let me hover on an image or text and just get the exact color it’s written or drawn in without trying and failing to color match it perfectly.

  7. adding post-its at the side column off a document so that we can write extra notes but it does not have to be on the page itself.

  9. It would be helpful if GoodNotes recognizes uneven handwriting and would transform it into a straight line.
    (just like the straight line function for the highlighter)

  10. Being able to save more than one text style is necessary for Titles and Headers while taking notes. One more reason I have had to switch to notability. They allow three saved text favorites with font, color, and size.

  12. Have an option for a block of content to be copied to another page and any edits on either copy shows up on the other one. So for example, you could have a block of writing on a monthly calendar page and then sync it to a specific day's page so you don't have to rewrite everything. What you write on the monthly calendar for that day automatically shows up on the individual day page also.

  13. Make export work. Currently most exports are lacking some characters, sometimes multiple characters, and different ones in different versions of the file.

  14. It would be genius to be able to use the Präsentation mode for screen recording.
    So that you don‘t have to see the toolbar in the videos afterwards.

  15. Change logged in user:

    Currently I am automatically logged into my Microsoft Account for Work/School. However my notes are on my private account.

    Logging in and out automatically logs you into School account quite rapidly (which can be good in some cases). However it would be beneficial to have a "Change account logged in" option.

    TLDR: Add a change logged in user or stop auto-verification of login of microsoft account to allow one to choose which one you want to log in on.

  17. I often prefer using the undo feature over switching to the eraser tool and requiring two taps per undo often makes it feel like I have to play a button-mashing Mario party mini game just to delete the last word I wrote.

  18. When we shrink the note size, there are a lot of margins on the sides. I'd like to be able to take notes on these side margins, please! My lecture slides are not big enough, so it'd be so nice to be able to create some extended margins to the sides to make notes. Thank you! please please please ❤️

  20. It would be great if GN had the possibility to have lines in the "zoom" so that handwritten notes can be written straight without having lines in the document itself.
