  1. I am enjoying the app and the features of being able to create different notebooks! I draw little squares a lot to indicate To Dos. It would be beneficial to create an option for this that recognizes it as a To Do and aggregates all of them in the front page or front cover of the notebook or somewhere in the app.

    Being able to enter dates and being able to skip to a date would be helpful as well.

    Great app! Simple to use. Saves me at least $45/year in good notebooks. You could charge more than you do.

  2. When writing while holding the iPad in portrait or landscape mode I often rest my land on the screen to leverage. As approachthe second vertical half of the page I run out of room and have to comfort my hand which causes a great deal of strain. Attempting to scroll further beyond the page boundary rubberbands, with no effect. Is like to be able to over-scrolljust under half a page so that i can fill the sheet similar to how scribble Let's me over-scroll in this basic textarea field on you support form.

    Thanks.

  3. I am using GoodNotes for work. I have multiple notebooks covering different topics, and sometimes certain points would be relevant in multiple notebooks.

    Was thinking that an ability to ‘twin’ a page to another notebook would be helpful. Not just a link, but twinning. For illustration,

    Notebook A has pages A1, A2, A3.
    Notebook B has pages B1, B2, B3.

    Now, I can twin page A2 into Notebook B, so its pages become
    B1, B2, A2, B3. Notebook A remain as A1,A2,A3

    After twinning, Whatever changes made in NotebookB, page A2 will be reflected in Notebook A and vice versa.

  4. Its a pain to move pages by dragging them if you have 500+ pages. Can we get a way to move multiple pages at one time in a single journal?

  5. If you notice, the sticker expansion and edit ‘square’ is a lot bigger than the sticker itself. It does allow you to write right below the sticker, but if you try to ‘lasso’ the text, it ends up selecting the sticker too.

    I hope the screenshot can help.

  6. Wouldn't it be great if we could make a single notebook with multiple divider tabs along the edge? Each one could be named for a different subject and have its own paper template. I'd love to have a single notebook called "Fall 2023 Semester" for example, and then have all my notes in one notebook.

    I believe OneNote has a similar functionality but it's... OneNote. :-)

  7. Beeing able to leave certain files locked in read only mode while having others in editing mode would be a nice adition to the app. For example when I have both a textbook and a writing page opened I would like to scroll with my pencil on the textbook and write normally on the page, without having to turn on and off the edit mode.

  8. Have a choice to upload many photos from our library and on the + page to make a file. So far, we can only add one at a time, but it will be more convenient if we could choose multiple at a time as well.

  9. After selecting an object or text it should pop-up the option or duplicating the item instead of having to copy and paste it. This function would help a lot in efficiency, please work on it...

  10. There should be an option where you can upload a powerpoint and it would format it as 3 slides per page on the left with room for notes on the right side. That way you don't have to write everything that the teacher says, but can hilight the things they emphasize.

  11. I am a student studying in Korea. When studying with a good note, if you move the handwriting with the lasso, I hope that the highlight and handwriting will be separately selected.

  12. An existing page(main page) must have options to add side pages which can be used to have more information for a topic/content present on the main page.

    Basically using the side pages as rough workspace to note down more info of a particular topic present on the main page where the side pages can be hidden when not needed.

    Example:
    1) An equation on the main page and its derivation on the side pages(collapsable/hidden pages) that can be accessed whenever required and can be hidden away when not required.

    2)A formula on the main page and sample problems and solutions…

  14. Select pen text using the lasso tool, and be able to adjust pen stroke just as you would color. This is a feature on Notability that I'm very jealous of because it makes it much easier to resize notes.

  17. Goodnotes should add more shortcuts for Macbook users. For example to hide or show sidebar, or to transfer from reading type to annotation type.
