  1. Could we get an option to adjust the opacity of the highlighter we are using? In using it as a marker it would be nice to have the option for the color to be fully opaque, and then sometimes when highlighting it is nice to have a color brighter in some areas and more transparent in others.

  2. When creating a study set, I wish I could zoom in or out of the screen. In particular, it is difficult to see the questions and answers at a glance because it is not reduced.

  3. On the new update is now harder to quickly change the thickness of the pencil and hglg, would be great to slide from up to down on the icon that you press to open the thickness selector menu to quickly switch to the next thickness level and from down to up to the previous one.

    I'm a student who writes notes with lots of different thicknesses and colors, the new update made me more productive when switching colors but less productive when changing thicknesses

    There's a video with the desired gesture

  6. Many of us are cross platform users and don't exclusively use Apple, Windows or Android devices. Some people, like me, own a Windows device and an iPad. I've been on the GoodNotes for Windows beta and it seems like you can only log in through Microsoft there. I'd like to be able to sync my notes from my iPad to my Windows device, so the Windows device should be able to support Sign in With Apple and iCloud Sync.

  8. I love using goodnotes, however it would be even better if I could get it on my school chromebook. I think that you should make a website where people from any device can access the app on a website, like the notion app. They have a website, that allows that same features as the app.

  9. I regularly use comments to annotate on slides where there is limited space. Would it be possible to include these comments when exporting to pdf format?
    This would for instance allow me to review my notes on my pc while making summaries on goodnotes.
    Thank you!

  13. I am trying to use the build in text to speech reader with iPad OS however goodnotes is not compatible as it states "document content area" instead of the content in the document.

    I would really appreciate having some text to speech functionality to make studying easier.

  14. I feel that sometimes your pen slips or when you draw or make diagrams for studying there are very rigid lines which mess up the drawing…having an option to smooth out your lines would really healp

  15. Hello,

    I am a surface user and I am currently studying full time. I take physics and maths so the ability to write on my screen is essential when taking notes in lectures.

    Unfortunately there is a distinct lack of note taking software available to use. The most apt, Microsoft journal lacks simple functionality like a ruler function.

    A well designed software such as goodnotes would definitely fill that gap in the market.

    Would goodnotes ever be released to other platforms?

    Yours,
    A frustrated windows user

  16. Having a small toolbar on the side that contains user’s favorite pens, highlighter, etc… will be able to add new colors to the favorite bar, and able to adjust the order of the pens on the favorite bar.

  17. People have been asking for this since at least 2019. I felt the need to report since it is halfway through 2022 and there still is only 3 colours. There is a lot of unused space in the top par, even in smaller iPad models. There is space for at minimum 6 colours. Having to switch back and forth makes note taking a lot less efficient. GoodNotes is far behind. Notability allows us to add a large numb of favourite pens/highlighters and dag the fact bar across the screen. It is difficult to justify using GoodNotes when colour coding while…

  18. 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.

  19. 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)

  20. it would be nice for colour palettes to be shared across tools so that we don't have to add the same colour multiple times for each tool's palette.
