  1. It would be great if you could add new pages to the right of each page in vertical scrolling mode, like page(3.1).

  2. I know gesture function for undo has already been introduced.

    But,
    I am grabbing pencil in right hand and ipad in left hand, I usually grab ipad for not to be shaken when I am writing, so I have no additional hand to do gesture!! Even need two finger double tap.

    Rather press undo button is fast and convinient. Eraser button is very useless for me that I have to press pen button again.

    So to press undo button accurately is very important for me to use GoodNotes. But button is very small, even the slightest mislocation woudn’t work. To…

  3. Most of the time we use the highlighter to make note of something we want to remember/study. It would be cool if I can use the Question highlighter to highlight a term and the Answer highlighter to highlight the answer. By doing this, flashcards are generated automatically. Happy to chat if needed.

  4. For people who do a lot of math (and love clean notes) it would be super helpful if there was something like an automatic recognition for {curly brackets}!

  5. Stop changing the zoom level of the image when it’s being cropped. Many people design images to fit their templates but when brought into Goodnotes have to spend ages resizing.

  6. The colors of the pencil should be able to have transparency, so I can write above diagrams or tables, but can still see the original content.
    The best would be an adjustable alpha channel for each color.

  7. Having the option of changing the whole notebook template with a simple click would be very useful for people who uses a lot of pages with grid template to standardize the writing at first, and wanting to change it to other template for a cleaner look.

  8. Hiya, I’m dyslexic and find it easier to read and write on “gold” coloured paper, to be honest it looks more like orange but still!
    Would love to see the ability to change the colour of the paper. (- unless there already is and I cant find it? Did try look on google but couldn’t find anything)
    Anyway, so far great app!

  9. Flashcards are a great way to learn.
    But when studying topics that are more complicated than vocabulary it would be very helpful to be able to write down the answer before checking if it was correct. (For example mathematical derivations). Writing the answer also helps with learning.

    My idea is that the flashcard screen shows two flashcards: One with the question (like it already does) and one, that is blank. You can write down your answer in the blank flashcard using the Apple Pencil. When clicking the flashcard with the question it flips over and shows the correct answer, so…

  10. The current highlight tool adjusts its position based on how user draws the line. However, lines drawn manually may not perfectly align with text from the PDF file, so the inconsistent gaps between different highlights may look awkward and ugly.

  12. Every time I select the eraser tool, it defaults to the largest size. So I end up erasing more than I want to, and then have to undo accidental erasures and then set the eraser to smaller size. I should be able to set the smallest eraser as default size to begin with. I love Goodnotes, but erasing is so common, this is getting to be an important usability issue.

  16. currently, there are only three colors appear and if we want to change to a different color we would have to click the option menu to change the color. I think it would be better to add 2 more colors,

  17. When I have a note open, I would like to see the tabs at the top in alphabetical order, and sometimes in least-recently-used order.

    Right now, I never understand how they are sorted, but, in any case, they are not sorted in a useful way.

  18. A web version or PC version of the app would make it 10x better as someone who got an iPad for drawing medical figures in school but still uses a PC.

  20. I'm in the process of creating timed handwriting practice sheets for note takes to be able to write neater and faster by practicing under a specified time limit so that they can take easier to read or neater notes while writing quickly during fast-paced lectures without having the need to rewrite or make them neater afterward by spending a lot of time or even you just don't want it to take too long just to copy down your notes in neater handwriting.

    I would love to know what do you think of it?

    I've created a sample practice temple (see…
