  1. Imported templates often have the problem that they are much smaller than the given document which makes it weird looking and also very unpractical to write as you have to adjust the size of the window continuously. GoodNotes’ own templates do have the option (or an automatic system) to adjust the size but with own templates this unfortunately does not work yet.
    I would appreciate if it would be possible to add the option to adjust the size of an imported template :))

  2. In my online textbook we have sticky notes that when you press on it, it expends to reveal the sticky note you wrote and when you press it again it minimizes to a bubble to save space on the page. I would love to have this feature!!!

  3. Useful in documents where text/pictures already take up whole page width, making notes more tidy and in one place

  4. Currently, if you’re recording in one window and want to open another document, you can’t without stopping the recording or without having the windows open before you start recording.

    Options for this:
    1. Add a quick note switcher or something like that so that you can easily open another document as a new tab.
    2. Allow the ability to open a new window of the app. Currently if you try to open a new window, it’ll automatically switch to the note that is actively recording.

    Use case: recording a lecture in your lecture notes and opening a textbook or another…

  5. Once I’m in a notebook and I want to return to the previous folder almost 99% the home button brings me to the home page and I have to go through all the folders again in order to get where I need to be.

  6. Allow me to select which notebooks are synced to which device. I use GoodNotes on multiple devices with different storage capacities. Right now I have to download all notebooks to every device. I would prefer to be able to only have certain notebooks on smaller-capacity devices.

  7. When using the search (find) feature, the highlighted text appears in a soft yellow color, making it hard to spot, especially if I’ve already highlighted other text.

    Please allow users to choose the highlight color in the search feature. The current dull yellow is difficult to see, and I’d prefer bold colors for better and faster visibility.”

  8. Having the capability to convert spoken words into written text, also known as voice to text transcription, is an invaluable tool that has the potential to revolutionize the way you capture and retain information. Imagine being able to effortlessly transcribe a lecture word by word, facilitating an efficient process for transforming spoken content into written form. Furthermore, this feature opens up the possibility of seamlessly integrating the transcription process with note-taking techniques such as the popular Cornell notes method. By merging these two powerful tools, you enhance your learning experience by creating a comprehensive and organized repository of information gleaned…

  11. Sometimes I’m searching for many different textbooks and I don’t know which is already opened. I really wish that you can choose to leave the tabs of textbooks open while navigating through all the folders. It would be also a lot easier to get back to the document without opening a second one or going back through folders to the one that’s already opened.

  12. To take better notes, consider viewing multiple pages simultaneously by collapsing text between two points, similar to the functionality in Liquid Text. This allows for a clear overview of related content while minimizing distractions and maximizing productivity.

  16. not sure if this has been brought up but as a student, sometimes our notes have pages irrelevant to our revision but we can't delete it either. similar to Google Slides, maybe Goodnotes can add a function to allow you to hide pages so that it wont appear when you scroll through the document, but can still access in the pages menu maybe?

  19. Hallo,

    es wäre super, wenn ihr eine Funktion einbauen würdet, wo man die Darstellung der Seiten von EInzahl auf Mehrzahl ändern kann. Also sodass die Seiten ähnlich wie bei Word einstellbar auch nebeneinander angezeigt werden bloß halt deutlich verkleinert. Wenn man dann weiterscrollen würde hätte man dann 4 Seiten auf einem Bild. Zum Schreiben sicher ungeeignet aber zu reinen Ansicht der Seiten wäre das super, weil man dann mehrere Seiten auf einem Blick hätte.

  20. Ask goodnotes is a good thing but needs some pretty obvious, low hanging improvements to be really usable.
    When you mark a text and do "ask good notes", and then you want to repeat it for a different text, there's no reason why you should tap ask goodnotes again, the selection inside the "ask goodnotes" tab should automatically get updated.
