  1. I really miss the feature that many other pdf viewers (and browsers, eg safari) have, where one presses and holds the scrolling button to move it up/down to a desired page.

  2. Add an option in order to have multiple “font options” to select from.
    For instance like in Pages [see picture].

  3. In the iPad version, bookmarks and the outline appear as a pop-up, but it would be more convenient if they could appear as a side menu, the same way they appear in the MacOS version.

    This would enhance navigation in the iPad version as we can then keep the bookmark/outline bar open to quickly move to different sections of a file, and then close the side-menu when not needed.

  4. It's difficult to adjust the line spacing with the scroll bar because my finger isn't accurate enough so I would like to be able to adjust it by putting the line spacing value in. Thanks

  5. It would be great to be able to import a calendar event into a note like OneNote can. It would save time having to write that info down as well as be a good search tool.

  6. Now in the app, when I need to change the text size, I only can use my finger to drop the icon, but this method cannot let me set the text in same size at each time.
    Whether can design a input window to input the text size directly?

  7. If you open a note or a folder from your favorites when you close the note or folder it goes back to your favorites. Can you make it so it goes to the folder that the note or folder was in?

  8. Hello,
    In my opinion the UI needs a refresh, it takes too much space on the screen when taking notes, we should have the option to hides things we don't use, thus clearing the menu bar for things we actually need, for example If I use a pen and marker only, I do not need to see the magnifier, shapes, text,laser icons, and also we need more than 3 pen\marker sizes & colors. to up the productivity for people who have to take fast notes (engineering), and want to save time with 1 quick click do it rather than do…

  9. Ich hätte gerne die Möglichkeit, Ordner für eine bessere Übersichtlichkeit einzufärben. Und auch die einzelnen Registerkarten würde ich gerne einfärben können, um schneller etwas zu finden.

  10. Sometimes I want to write sentences straight on a blank area from an imported PDF. However, most of the time, my handwriting won’t be straight if sentences are long.

    If implement a gridline function in which the user can click a button on the toolbar and show gridlines on the files. It can let the user write straight handwriting sentences on any place of the PDF easily and neatly.

  12. It would be very helpful if there was a "mark as read" option in GoodNotes, especially when you have a lot of texts to be read so you can see at a glance which ones you have read and which ones are still to be read. Currently, I am using the "tick emoji" in the document name which is an alternative but being able to actually tick off documents and mark them as read would be so helpful!

  14. Es wäre gut wenn man beim Stift eine gestrichelte Linie aus wählen könnte.

    Geht ja schon beim Lasso Werkzeug das entsprechend mit bleibenden Linien und allen Fähigkeiten des Stiftes.

  15. I appreciate the setting of hyperlinks coming from other apps such as Keynote or InDesign, etc. However, I think it would be more useful the possibility to preview all the bookmarks on a sidebar whenever I want, being able to add shortcuts to any of my files inside the GoodNotes app.

  16. GoodNotes is the excellent app for note taking.Its just above all as compared to all other note taking apps out there in app store.
    Just want to convey a single message to GoodNotes team.
    Please please add scrolling bar function in pages.The slider bar of pages don't work properly.We have to manually turn each pages and that is a too tedious process.Kindly give the option of scrolling of pages using finger or apple pencil.

    Also kindly add search through function in images and pictures which are attached in notes.
    Thank you

  17. Every time I open GN in my MacBook, the app window is small. We should be able to open it in full size each time without having to adjust the size after each opening.

  18. It would be good if you are reminded when the flashcards are due and then an automatic query is made. So far, at the end of a learning session, it says when you should come back to learn the flashcards. However, if you want to study the vocabulary on that day, it says another day because it assumes you have already studied the vocabulary. So you have to press "Study again", although the flashcards have not been learned on that day.

  19. Good notes is the perfect app for maths practise as maths requires a lot of practise. It would be great if you could just select a set of equations and the app would automatically detect the variables and numbers and solve the equations. This would be of tremendous help

  20. Just saw your experimental feature of learning with flashcards. What I would wish as an improvement is having the flashcard page (Question/Answer) on the right side of an page, when creating it. Moreover I want it not to appear underneath the scroll direction reading through my normal script. I want to see it maybe indicating that it exist by seeing a small border of it on the right side. Check my sketch in the attachment.
