  1. When I have a document open and I want to open another, I hit the home icon in the top left and it pulls up the file organizer. AFAIK there is no way to leave this file menu to re-enter the editing screen without opening a document. As in, remembering which files were already open to “open them again” or just open any file and then close its tab once I am back in the editing screen. There should be a button directly where the home icon is that leaves the file menu and returns to editing (if there are…

  2. Nowadays it is becoming popular in the world to learn Ukrainian language. I propose to add Ukrainian to the list of languages. It is a language of the Cyrillic family, I think it would be easy to do on the basis of the Russian language.

  3. Dear Goodnotes Team,

    As a teacher, I am an enthusiastic user of your software, just like many of my students. Since we have a projector in every classroom, the digital notebook replaces traditional blackboard writing in my lessons. Instead, I write in Goodnotes and show this live to my class via the projector.

    However, I came up with a great idea on how you could effectively expand your software: When I explain something in class and add new content to the Goodnotes notebook, which gradually collects all the blackboard notes for that particular class, I have to export the newly…

  4. There are certain items that are used frequently but which get lost in a long list of items (e.g., new file template). It would be great to be able to pin this to the top, or in a sidebar, so that one never has to scroll to find it.

  5. I think it would be super useful to have an option to save presets per documents. I have different notebooks for subjects in school and want to use different colors per document but don’t want to have to change my presets every time. so one notebook could be different pinks and one can be greens and one can be different colors.

  7. When we write something an audio tape would be really helpful. It works like the tape function but an audio is played when tapped. It will really benefit language learners as they can add the pronunciation on it and listen to it back.

  8. I recently switched from Notability to Goodnotes, I enjoy this app but I found the centering tool to be very helpful on Notability. I like my notes to be as clean as possible so I’d greatly appreciate it if some type of action was to be done for this to happen!

  10. 希望大綱與縮圖右上角可以新增一個圖釘📌,點了就可以讓所看到的縮圖大綱進度,跟著目前操作的頁面跑,不用每次都從頭往下找,尤其是在瀏覽數百頁的資料時。

  11. Currently when you are highlighting or using the eraser , the tapes can not be toggled to be transparent and back again. You have to select the pen or tape tool to do that. It would be way easier if you could also toggle the tape on and off while using the highlighter and the eraser .please see if that could be done. Thanks.

  12. I wish the sidebar when looking at your documents, when using the iPad, could be permanently closed & only open when I decide to hit the icon. It’s really annoying when I open my app & this sidebar is taking up a quarter of my app, all my files shift when I close it.
    Don’t get me wrong it’ll stay closed for a while, but if I don’t use the app for a little bit & go back in, the sidebar is open again. This isn’t the worst thing, but when it does happen, it’s a neusance.

  14. Currently, it’s not possible to use the trackpad for actions like deleting notifications or navigating within study sets. For example, you cannot swipe between flashcards in study sets with the trackpad, which makes the navigation feel clunky and inconsistent. Adding trackpad support for these things would greatly improve the user experience both on iPadOS and macOS.

  15. I’d like to be able to write notes on a page, and then create hidden pages behind it to do examples or whatever, kind of like writing on the back of a page in a physical notebook. Something that’s not another separate page that i would see when scrolling through my notes but if i wanted to see examples related to my notes on a specific page, or more inessential notes related to a specific topic, they would be attached to that page or “behind” it. This would be most useful in pdfs and math related subjects.

  16. I’d like to be able to view multiple pages side by side, for example to compare 2 pages, or have refer back to one specific page while writing on a different one. I also wish that when zooming out i can position the page anywhere on my screen; right now its only in the center and when I’m taking notes on a video for example, it would be useful to still have the whole page available for writing instead of part of it behind the video.

  17. it would be great if you could add this feature on the next update. Selecting multiple pages at once to delete highlighted or handwritten notes separately. I have multiple documents that I’ve highlighted and sometimes I would like to just delete the highlighted sections but then it would delete my pen notes and it’s tedious to use the erase for just highlights

  18. It would be nice if we can minimize the toolbar or even hide it. The current toolbar is taking too much space especially in landscape mode.

  20. When using the trackpad to scroll in GoodNotes on Mac, there seems to be a delay at the start. The scroll doesn’t begin immediately, and it feels like I have to move my finger a certain distance before the scrolling actually starts.
