  1. I am a user living in Japan.

    There is a request. It is a function to display in a spread. This is not about spread views. I want to display two consecutive pages like a book in one app. It will be very convenient when reading one document on the horizontal screen of the iPad.

    I am not good at explaining in English, so I attached an image file.

    Thank you for the great app. I will continue to use it.

  2. It will be much more convenient if Goodnotes allows users to add personal colours to the presets section for text boxes. This feature is available for highlights and handwritings but not the text boxes!! :(

  3. It would be a huge time saver if somehow the app would automatically index any sort of annotation to either the front of the doc to summarize certain chapters or documents. This could effectively summarize the ideas and create an outline of the doc so that one would not have to go back to find different highlights etc.

  4. These idea already was written, and the status is "done". But in fact it isn't. Look how the highlighter is on dark paper when it is done and when it is selected or with apple pencil on it when you make it. You should review this idea and realise it already please.

  5. I would love to see a ruler where you can draw precisely.
    And one should be able to see the radius of the circle while drawing.
    Or see how longe an edge of a form is, angle etc.

  6. I use goodnotes to annotate slides, and sometimes I download huge slideshows (100+ slides) having the ability to put multiple pages on one pages (similar to when you print multiple pages on one page) would be a HUGE help when annotating big slideshows. Thanks!

  8. I like color coordinating my notes and I hate how we only have three color options at a time. It takes so much time to click the pen color and then find the color that we want to change it to. There is so much real estate left when I have my iPad Pro horizontally, so we should take advantage of that.

  10. Not only could you translate the format, but this could really work well with the "Send to Kindle" feature.

  11. Get rid of the “Save as default” in font styling and just have the font set automatically to the font when it’s adjusted. Just like how when you work in word document, google docs, when you set the font, it stays at that font every time you work. I constantly have to change fonts and reclick the “Save as default” Font, and it’s really annoying because it doesn’t appear in split screen. Why not just get rid of it entirely and save the font once it’s set, as it’s much more intuitive.

    In Notability, they have the Font Adjuster appearing…

  12. Gives us some space to write down our answer when using flash card. I think the ability to write the idea down instead of just thinking about the question helps memorizing a lot. We can also compare it to the answer afterward.

  13. I read a lot of research papers and sometimes want to summarize a paragraph in the margins. However, the margins are often too small to do that. It would be nice to convert the A4 paper to A3, or just an option to add a few centimeters on each side.

  14. Having a ruler like in AppleNotes would be really helpful.

    Besides that, as a student with a lot of maths, something like GeoGebra in a simpler version would help too. Being able to enter a function term and get the function in a coordinate system would be of great help and an even greater addition to GoodNotes.

    Also, being able to select multiple pictures to insert would be helpful, as it would save time from having to select each and every single picture.

    In PowerPoint, the function of print as handnotes gives the user three pictures on the left hand…

  15. 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.

  16. Would love to see “insert image from Google search” added as a feature. It would save steps of opening a browser and copy/pasting or saving to files and then inserting.

  17. I would love to have the option to have a "magnetic grid" used in combination with a geometric form tool to draw some lines that start exactly at the corners of the grid.

  18. Can we have keyboard shortcuts for most features on the app pls ahah. Like people are actually starting to use the app on MacBooks or even when on iPads most people use keyboards. like cmd+f for search and stuff. NGL Notion is pretty good at this, get on their level goodnotes.

  19. It would be really useful to have the option of of moving the tools at the top in such a way that it works better. Since I write with my left hand, instead of reaching over with my right hand to to the top left corner of the screen to change my pen tools, eraser, etc., I could just reach the top write corner to access my most used tools in an easier way

  20. I use the highlighter a lot to fill in diagrams and it would be so much easier if I didn't have to do it in one go. Sine it gets darker when it overlaps, the filled in color is only uniform if my pencil stays on the page the whole time.
