  1. Much like Google Docs or One Note, It would be nice to have an online access point to view and edit notes. This can be a solution to the unavailable PC App and viewing on a stranger computer, where you may not want to spend the time to download the app. (i.e. Group projects/study Share)

  2. It would be neat to have a blend of two colours in one pen. Meaning, if I wanted to have lime green on a white background, I could have the option to outline the lime green with another colour of my choosing. Similar idea to the photo I've added, but the ability to write in a pen instead of typed, and for the colours to somewhat blend into one another instead of it looking like a harsh line.

  3. It would be useful to be able to segregate the pages that have been marked favourites into the folders that they originally came from.
    i.e. Where date, name and type are selectable as sorting methods at the top of the page, add folder so any folders with notebooks that have bookmarked pages in are shown.
    The idea is being able to find pages that have questions attached to them on a subject basis (denoted by the folder they come from).
    Thanks

  4. Instead of having to add a tag word on each document and then exclude the tag, make a checkbox option. This should be available for folders and individual documents. Default would be backup.

  5. Allow hiding Flash Cards from the overall view of the note. I like to read and take notes, and then I like to use Flash Cards for revision, but I don't want to see them when I am reading my note because they take too much space and mess with me trying to quickly navigate between the pages.

  7. I'd like a Zoom-In feature on the MacOS app, so I can use 3rd party stylus pads (like Wacom) with the laptop for note taking.

  9. Hi. It will be great if we could export our note to PDF with random pages selection (like in notes plus)

  11. Penultimate has a great feature, similar to GoodNotes’ AutoAdvance, where the screen moves automatically if you’re writing and it stops moving as you stop writing. This was really useful for me as it meant I mainly had to move my hand in one direction- I didn’t need to move it along the page, as the page moved itself. This enabled me to write significantly faster and reduced hand strain. It would be great to see this added into GoodNotes

  12. When trying to create any sort of graph, the axes need to have graduations at regular intervals. Instead of trying to approximate by hand, there could be an option after the line is selected, to divide it into any number of intervals.

  13. It will be great if we can customize different scrolling directions for different documents rather than the same for all documents. Since some documents may have a better view in vertical scrolling some may be more convenient in horizontal scrolling.

  14. I like to write my notes in Landscape mode so I have more room side-side to write, but I like to look over my notes in Portrait mode so I can see the whole page.

    I have the Landscape Zoom to 100%, page fully covering the screen side to side. When I rotate to Portrait mode the zoom stays, and I have to zoom out to see the whole page, zoom back in when I turn to Landscape, in and out, etc. etc.

    It would be an awesome feature, and would help a lot!

  15. In the multi-page view of a document, the buttons on the top left and top right are "Close" and "Select", respectively. When we press "Select", the buttons on the top left and top right become "Select All" and "Done", respectively. Please swap the positions of the latter buttons so that we can press "Done" and "Close" in quick succession when we try to leave this view.

  16. I'm using Goodnotes for my Business Plans and Ideas. I only use it with my MacBook. It doesn't work 90% of the time when I try to move the cursor within the text via my keyboard arrows. I have to restart the App so I can use this feature for like 5 minutes again. Very annoying...

  17. when many tabs are opened, it becomes harder to maintain a good overview. I suggest the option of putting tabs of documents together in a group or stack, so that I can now work on other documents, but still can reopen the other tabs fast without having to close them before.
    For example: I‘m working on my physics homework and my answer and exercise sheets are opened. But also, I do have to take a look from time to time into the maths and physics theory notes, but not often, and still, they are using up a lot of tab…

  18. I think it would be very useful to have the ability to see and reorganize the list of open tabs. This way, when I have 20+ tabs open and I’m viewing the last document but also need to access the first tab I don’t need to swipe all the way to the first tab but can pull open the list view and click directly two the desired tab. If I find that I need to consistently switch between the two, I can reorganize the tabs and place them right next to each other.

  19. It would be good if we can add a new page according to the previous page size without copying its content. It will definitely save our time and allow us to use different template in a file.
