  1. After the numbers of tabs gets too big (I.e. >10) , add a setting that lets the app auto close the oldest tab to keep the tab count manageable.

  2. Currently to copy an element like a sticker, I have to lasso and then long-press, as if I just long-press on the sticker that option isn’t available. I can only zoom, edit, or paste. It seems like an unnecessary extra step, and I’d love for “copy” to be an option here.

  3. I frequently go between black and yellow paper templates, depending on class and revisions.

    Rather than having to manually switch the three colors and pen sizes with each template, what if we could assign a preset for a template.

    Ex: each time I open my black squared template, I'd have white/pink/blue colors set at .3, .5, and 1 but if I switch/insert my yellow dotted template, those presets would switch to black/yellow/blue (etc etc).

  4. There’s times I’d like my highlighter to be more vivid without going over it multiple times, or times I’d even like it to be solid (e.g. to fill something with solid color since it’s larger brush size)

  5. Hi Goodnotes! I want to suggest that the sticky notes (elements) will have an option to be minimized and maximized so we can have the choice of hiding it and showing it. It would be nice since I like to write key points but the newly added elements block the text. Thanks!

  6. die Position der vom Lasso-Werkzeug angebotenen Möglichkeiten in der Auswahl-Leiste sollten nach persönlichem Vorzügen verändert werden können.
    Hintergrund:
    in der deutschen Leiste muss ich jetzt ein zweites Mal auswählen für Ausschneiden, Kopieren und Löschen, brauche aber die zuerst angebotenen Möglichkeiten nicht oder deutlich seltener als die 3 genannten.

  7. Every single time I paste text into GoodNotes from another source I have to resize, change font and MOST ANNOYINGLY undo the “indentation” and “misalignment” of text by using the return and backspace. The indentation happens even when the original text is all parallel and doesn’t have an indentation. I literally spend about 3-4 minutes each page just editing what I pasted to look uniform, parallel and neat. WHY!

  8. Instead of going to the thumbnails menu, just do a zoom out to see two pages in the same view, instead of one; then if done again you can see 4 pages and then 6, then 8 and so on.

    Important detail is that, let's say you have the view for 8 pages in your screen, if you do the gesture to see the 'next page' you see the next 8 pages, so you can navigate much faster within the document.

  9. I am suggesting to add a setting to be able to more the undo and redo buttons to the magnifying screen for easier access. When writing notes in class it slows you down to have to go to the top of the screen to undo. I believe that this is just a apple pencil gen 1 problem since we do not have the double tap feature.

  11. It would be amazing to have access to more size options, not just the predetermined like A5, letter or GoodNotes size that comes with the app.

    With these:
    - If someone like to print the notes, this could be helpful to adjust everything.
    - This would solve a size problem to LATAM (with "Oficio size").
    - If someone wants to print and waste the less amount of paper, we can personalized the size to the half of the measurement.
    - This would let create files and images that can be used for different social media (for example Instagram post or…

  13. Some answers of questions are graphic based. It would be great so have some space for sketching instead of mind based answer contol.

  14. In Noteshelf, instead of simply cropping an image, you can erase the background. This is super helpful when taking quick notes for class and capturing images from a presentation. I don't like having to do a freehand crop in GoodNotes just to get rid of the extra stuff. It slows down the note taking process.

  15. Hallo,

    Ich nutze GoodNotes nun seit einiger Zeit und bin sehr davon angetan. Ich habe davor ein Jahr lang Notability getestet und muss sagen, dass das einzige was mich bei GoodNotes hält die Schnelltaste für Formen ist. Um Notability eine Nasenlänge voraus zu sein wären meiner Meinung nach folgende Verbesserungen Nötig:

    1. Es sollte möglich sein ausgeschnittene Textstücke,Bilder oder sonstiges von einer Seite auf die Nächste zu verschieben ohne die ausschnitte erst ausschneiden und dann wieder einfügen zu müssen. Wenn man mal schnell eine Seite umsortieren will stört dieser Vorgang den Workflow erheblich.

    2.Wenn man ausschnitte von einem Aufgabenblatt ausschneidet und…

  16. In the way that you can save your favorite brushes, meaning type, color and size, in other apps so you can quickly switch between the main brushes you use in a document, it would be nice if Goodnotes had a similar option as well. It would really speed up my note taking proces if I could quickly switch between different pens and highlighters.

  17. Ich hätte gerne die Möglichkeit, Ordner für eine bessere Übersichtlichkeit einzufärben. Und auch die einzelnen Registerkarten würde ich gerne einfärben können, um schneller etwas zu finden.

  18. Maybe add things like a ruler / triangular ruler to make it easier to use goodnotes in math / geometric classes.

  19. Right now good notes doesn't support pinching with three fingers to copy and pinching out to paste. The only option is to hold for a second until the copy option pops up which is a bit tedious and slow.
