  1. I sell (printed) workbooks for secondary school in Germany.

    Is there a possibility to sell workbooks as PDFs (approx. 160 pages) in your pop-up store?

    It’s important that the PDFs cannot be shared or forwarded simply to other devices via AirDrop for example, but can only be used within the own account.

    Furthermore, I'd like to know if buttons with embedded links are possible in the PDFs?

    This would be an interesting market for all textbook publisher (who offer workbooks) if they could sell their books copy-protected through your platform.

    Looking forward to hearing from you.

    Kind regards

  2. in Read-only mode I would like to have the option to flip sides with TWO fingers only. So the sides would not move when using only one finger (same function as in „edit mode“)

  3. Clicking on Documents or Favorites in the MacOS-App while being deeper in their folder structures doesn't return you to their respective root folder.

    I'd like to see the same behavior implemented as in the iPadOS-App where you do return to the root folder.

    Thank you for your work!

  4. I previously submitted feedback that it would be nice for goodnotes beta to be able to import pdf files. I got the response that this is already possible but after multiple tries and lots of googling I found out that this still isn't the case. So hereby I try again.

  6. My suggestion is to add a feature that enables changing the size, font, color etc of individual words within the same text box, without affecting the formatting of the entire text. This would provide more flexibility and precision in formatting text, and make it easier to create professional-looking documents.

  7. I've seen your attempt to convert handwriting to equations and I love this idea. A word from a STEM student. Please leave an option to edit output manually using .tex. I will even pay additionally for such an option. Besides, it can improve your ML models, as most of the people that would use that, would probably be professionals which would make error detection far better.

  8. The comments should be searchable in GoodNotes!!
    Comments is a very useful way to take notes, thus I write many of my thoughts in comments. However, I find I can’t search for my comment in GoodNotes, which cost me a lot of time to search my notes. I hope the the contents inside the comments can be searched.

  9. when resizing handwriting or images, allowing the user to snap back to the original size would be helpful as some people may only want to rotate/change orientation of the object without changing size.

  10. I wish I could change the color of the file on the main screen to something other than blue. It would be cool to change the color I chose myself. It's time to distinguish between all files....

  11. Hi, I love the new feature and I'm tankful for the GoodNotes team for working so hard to bring so many useful features to the app to help us study. I would have one request and that is to be able to move cards from one study sets to another. That would be tremendously useful.

  13. 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.

  14. Please enable macOS typical keyboard shortcuts, which are used by most macOS apps such as
    cmd + for zoom in (currently cmd : which is not intuitive !)
    cmd - for zoom out (currently cmd ; which is not intuitive !)
    cmd ; for settings
    etc...
    Please follow to more widely used standard shorts to make the macOS experience more intuitive
    Thanks a lot

  18. Having to tap each field of a flash card to start writing on it in study sets edit mode is so inconvenient that it is faster to write the cards as a normal flash card file and then convert it into study sets. Please provide an option allowing users to instantly write new flashcards without tapping. Love the app!

  20. I use a lot of power point in pdf in just one page to see my class quicker. It would be great if GoodNotes had PDF printout just like the second picture. Also I would like to have more zoom and thinner pencil widths to be able to write more .
