  1. I would like invisible notes. Would be great in GN-pages for preseting or teaching. Just an option for a text-field to mark it as invisble in the presentation oder "only visible on iPad".

  3. I want more features to be able to either filter or reorganize the items in my folder as I please instead of having the first item being the last thing I opened.

  4. Add the ability to program a gesture to rotate pen colors. I use multiple colors for my notes and this feature would save me SO MUCH time.

  5. More pens options. More things so I can color documents. Also a fix so it doesn’t erase all my work when using a pen

  6. I hate the thing that if you are searching for a note on a folder o if you exit by mistake while taking notes you must open a new file to return back in “notes mode”. Just add a “back to notes” button or make tabs view also available in search, documents, ecc pages!!

  7. Make android math convert available for android user.
    I tried to follow your instructions about the math convertor, and I didn't find this option for it in the android app (using tab S8+).

  8. Improve the overflow feature of typed notes so that if I go back and add more to an earlier page, it automatically flows down. Also allow for a header that repeats across multiple pages of typed notes (like in a notebook filled with notes for a semester worth of classes).

  9. I love you guys, but you seriously need to fix the shape drawing tool. There are currently (as far as I know) two ways of drawing shapes:

    1. Draw them quickly to get exactly what you drew: This is (almost) always imprecise for shapes like rectangles, since I obviously can't draw a rectangle consistently, so this is a non-starter for rectangles

    2. Draw them and hold for shape perfection: This is for some reason almost always turned into a circle or an ellipse which is incredibly frustrating.

  10. according to textbox:
    1. different border styles for textboxes (dotted, dashed, ...)
    2. textbox-shadows also on other sides, not just bottom (for example: just on the left side, ...)
    3. multiple favorites including line height for usage in different paper styles

    according to full-page-text-typing
    1. option to change the font and color of H1, etc. (for example: I want a blue headline and black text for my notes, so i can manually change this to the font and color I like and dont need to recolor after writing notes)
    2. multiple textboxes in different templates (for example: in the 2-columns-paper…

  11. I would like to decide the order of my folders completely by myself. This would make it easier to organize all folders.

  13. Vielen lieben Dank für die tollen Lernkarten. Für die Erlernung der Gebärdensprache wäre es total wichtig, dass man nicht nur Bilder sondern auch Videos hochladen könnte.

  14. there are a few features that exist on the IOS Application that is missing on the WIndows/WEB Application. for example I am missing the ability to fill in forms and drawings that I made. also, the ability to have several documents open in the same app. I can also not erase notes just by scribbling over them, which might be a problem for Lenovo and also there are just way more possibilities to customize the Pen on the Tablet App.

  15. Since there is an audio record feature, why not add transcription feature and AI-based auto notes generation. This way we do not need to pay for multiple apps and stick to our beloved Goodnotes for everything.

  16. since the last update its much harder to delete something by scratching it out. you just keep on adding lines and it creates an even bigger mess. it doesnt really matter how you do it (slow or fast movements, quickly or longer), it‘s way harder to get it to work as it used to. its such a nice feature if you want to get rid of something without using the eraser, which deletes stuff you didnt want to sometimes.

  17. As a student, I am often completing exam papers and download them onto my goodnotes to then complete. I often find that there isn't enough space to write on the sheet so I create a new blank page to write my answers. However it is very inconvenient to have to scroll up and down to read the question then scroll down to write my working then scrolling back up again for the the questions and so on. Other apps like liquid text already have this feature that I wholeheartedly believe would make this app significantly better. Not only this, even…

  18. There is an option to save our favorite font and size of a text, I think it would be lovely to have multiple favorites so that there would be more text boxes already edited as a quick access.

  19. I would like to be able to move the divider between the colors and tools to the left to allow a greater selection of colors to be available. I remember this was a thing before in Goodnotes, where the ruler and laser pointer were behind the divider and I could access a greater number of colors and/or line thickness.

    As a user who rarely uses anything past the lasso tool and sometimes the image insert but uses several colors in my notes it would very useful!

  20. Laser movement shall be shared to all participants in the collaboration mode.

    Collaboration mode is very useful when multiple people work on the same document at the same time, e.g. remote teaching, doing home work together etc.

    Participants can write simultaneously and this is near real time visible to all.

    Please extend this functionality for laser pointer. It is very useful when explaining home work or what ever is the topic.
