  1. It would be super nice to have extra space to write sentences and phrases on the side or under imported PowerPoint instead of only being able to write on the slide. Writing on the slide helps highlight terms etc, but doesn't help any extra information a teacher/professor may say out loud, that's not a part of the slide.

  2. It would be great for educational content. E.g. math, you could measure degrees of triangles or construct geometric forms using the measuring tools.

  4. Hi, I love to write handwriting on slides, but sometimes the space isn‘t enough. That‘s why I love the comment feature, but I would love if the comments were possible to be handwritten as well. Right now it‘s only possible to add keyboard-written text, please add an option to fill the comment-space with handwriting! Sometimes its also nice to add little pictures/graphs that you draw in the comment space.
    Thanks :)

  5. Within the color selection, it would be very useful to have a pipett to select a color based on an already exiting color in the note.

  6. I would like to be able to mark which flash cards I don’t want to study, just like you can mark a page as favourite. Because I made flashcards for my entire chapter, but I only need to study certain things from that chapter. It would be nice to just be able to disable s the flashcards you don’t want to study.

  7. As today we have only 03 colors & three pencils options to switch between. There’s space to at least the double of each in the toolbar.

  9. To scale imported photos with one point pined and then drag one of the other points to the ideal location. This is more convenient in locating the photo in the place you want than the current scaling photos from the middle.

  10. As the community of goodnotes has many research focused students, adding some features like extracting highlights to markdown and a side bar to see all the comments would be really helpful to aid the reasearch efforts.
    Some features suggestions that we really need in goodnotes to make it one stop solution
    - highlights extraction (to txt, markdown etc)
    - side bar to see all the comments
    - tags feature to tag the notes/books

  11. Similar to on Microsoft word, when placing an around text, the text should have an option to automatically wrap around the image in different ways.

  13. I use several colors regularly and I must select the one that does not appear in the bar. If there were 4 colors and even five you could have them available more quickly. Others handwriting apps have quite a few colors available on the taskbar so you don't waste time choosing. In the figure I have put six colors and it does not look bad.

  14. I want to hide the status bar in iPadOS 15 for screen work space.
    In the previous iPadOS 14, I was able to hide the status bar, so I could use the screen space largely, but I can't hide it after I turned 15, so it's a little inconvenient.

  15. I want a ruler that moves on GoodNotes according to the magnification of the note. Sometimes I want to draw a line that is accurately lengthed in your notebook. I also want a function that allows me to draw a circle centered on a certain point.

  16. Hi i think it would be so great if there was a tab to view highlights and notes made on a document. I love to use GoodNotes for my textbooks or pdfs professors give and i annotate on them a lot but it is so hard finding where i highlighted something or noted something because i have to scroll through the document. Sometimes my documents are 100 pages long and takes to long to find where something is highlighted

  17. Have a second shape tool, or maybe an option in the current one, that works like the Microsoft word shape tool. Choose a shape from a predefined, yet extensive, list. Be able to choose outline and fill color (including clear), and maybe even opacity. Once it's placed on the page allow scalability of the whole shape, rotations, and even adjusting points on the shape to make warped shapes. Included here should be arrows, a line, and a dotted line.

  18. Adding the ability to attach pop up notes on highlighted words, similar with adobe acrobat. We should be able to minimize the notes after accessing them. This would clearly benefit students like me who likes to add further notes on books and PDFs without being limited to writing on the side of each page.

  19. On dark paper when you highlight after writing, the highlighter goes over the pen instead of under, which is bothersome. Would prefer if y'all made it so that the default is highlight goes under pen no matter what the color of the paper is.

  20. If expanding the margins isn't possible, maybe there could be an option to have the pdf pages imported as vector images (like .svg) on a goodnotes page. That way you could move around and resize each page of the pdf to create margin space where it is needed. This is different from importing the pdf pages as rasterized images. Text should still be readable even if the imported page is scaled.
