  1. Lernkarten: Es wäre toll, wenn die Lernkarten sowohl -wie schon jetzt- randomisiert; aber bitte unbedingt in der Reihenfolge (der Notizen) abfragbar sind! Da sie so nicht nur als Karteikarten, sondern auch als Lernzettel (thematische Ordnung möglich) fungieren können!!!

  2. When magnifying a pdf file in vertical scrolling state, if it is enlarged more than a certain percentage, it cannot be fixed to move left and right.

    I want to continue using the pdf file by enlarging it to fit the iPad's horizontal aspect ratio, but it's so inconvenient.

  3. Paging Transition WITHOUT any effect (like one can with PowerPoint or Adobe Acrobat).
    I use GoodNotes in virtual meetings as well in presence ones. The page transition animation are ‘nice at first’ but always distracting, specially in cases of two or more pages that are identical except a few visual clues (like an added box to call attention to a detail)… in those cases a clean, seemless transition, is a MUST.
    I saw many other suggestions of the kind here, all SHUTDOWN by some ‘moderator’ as being a non issue that you can set the presentation mode to always full

  5. Have a up/down and left/right button for scrolling between pages so that I don’t have to swipe. Easier to switch pages and let it align perfectly every time.

  7. I don’t need you to tell me I’ve pasted a page successfully. I’m not blind. Just let me do whatever I need to do and don’t force me to stare at that stupid check mark for 2 seconds every single time.

  8. It would be great if you could save more than three colours for pen/highlighter. The space in the top right corner would be enough to save 5 colours. Would really help folks who study with highlighting in (many) different colours

  9. Sometimes when you use the same hexcode the colours between the pen and highlighter don't match, I then end up messing around with colours until the match better, would love if the highlighter matched more :)

  10. Please bring back the DOUBLE LINE SPACING option from GoodNotes 4. Or an adjustable option that varies with the TYPE size entered. The default lines are TOO thin for proper writing for some of us.

  12. I miss the font "Annai MN" for the iPad. Like this my learning leaflets look very different when I create them on my MacBook vs looking at them on my iPad.

  13. It would be great to have an option to make all pages the same width (or at least displayed so). When pages have different widths, they tend to move sideways when scrolled vertically. And this is very unpleasant.

    When importing pages from different sources, Notability makes all pages the same width by default, and this makes scrolling very smooth.

  14. This is very annoying when reading over the stuff you wrote. My Apple Pencil is somehow very sensitive when it covers to double tap gestures, so this is a must have.

  15. I wish your app could allow Video and Audio Recording and producing nice tutoring videos similar to what possible in Doceri.
    Your app is much more user-friendly and performs way better than Doceri in any aspect, but unfortunately, it misses that feature.

  16. I want to start by stating that I absolutely love GoodNotes.

    However, as a Student, I am not able to purchase the largest capacity storage version for the iPad (as I am sure many students can agree).

    With the file size of the data getting so large, it can quickly eat up so much space, (even on the brand new iPad Air 5th gen).

    Is there any possible way to reduce file size and still be able to edit the notebooks or notes. This would be perfect!

  17. We need faster accelerated scrolling like Apple Notes, Margin Note or even the default PDF viewer app in the Files app. The scrolling speed of files in GoodNotes feels like my pages are stuck in mud, requiring me to use multiple long swipe gestures across the iPad to scroll down/up faster and reach my desired location. I noticed that multiple swipes also doesn't 'accelerate' the speed, which isn't an issue on other apps that I mentioned above or Apple native apps like Notes and Safari. Please implement this. Thanks.

  18. Having a hexagonal would make chemistry note taking so much easier. Especially in higher level chemistry since there are so many different compounds you have to learn.

  19. I love using the existing outline in PDFs, but it's tough work to create one if it isn't already implemented. A great feature would be the possiblity to choose the option "set as outline title" for marked text to quickly greate an outline for a document.

  20. ability to add links in Notion to notebooks or even specific pages in Goodnotes 5, maybe even allowing backups over Notion so you can view them on PC and Android through Notion as opposed to e.g. Dropbox
