  1. I ask you to add the locking function, each folder or file.
    I think it would be perfect if that function was added.
    Please consider it positively.

  2. Hidden Toolbar is designed to enhance note-taking experiences by allowing users to hide the toolbar and maximize their writing space. This feature is particularly useful for users who want to focus on their note-taking without any distractions

  5. I am an apple user as well as a windows user, i think it would be great for the community to have the possibility to register online with the same account as in the ipad or mac, and be able to see our notes from the website and not just in the app

  6. In other apps like Notability, the scrolling is quite fast and "normal". When I tried to switch to GoodNotes, the first thing I realized is the fairly slow scrolling. Please make the scrolling faster because it can get really annoying trying to scroll around finding notes but it takes too long.

  7. I use the stroke thickness A LOT.

    The new update has hidden the stroke width selectors.
    I understand that you need the space for more colors, and am fine with the updated setup.

    A “swipe up/down on icon” gesture to change the stroke’s thickness solves my problem pretty well, without needing a buttons and layout redesign.

    The current 2 tap design has killed off my speed. I didn’t realise that a single additional tap would derail me so much.

  8. It would be extremely beneficial to adopt some formatting options for text, bulleted lists, and outlines similar to typical document editing programs, such as Microsoft Word or Google Docs. While the app is currently great, the lack of an option to create an outline-style text box is a huge inconvenience. If you could make an outline with roman numerals and tab over for uniform subsections the app could save countless frustrating situations that students face having to use multiple document programs. While this may seem like a small problem, it is the only thing preventing GoodNotes from completely perfecting the…

  10. I love GoodNotes on iOS but would LOVE to use it on my Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 which is 7.6" - just shy of the 8" minimum. Any chance as the beta goes, GoodNotes will open up to my size screen?

  11. I know the Windows version for GoodNotes is still in the Beta, but I would like to suggest making it like the App Version. I'm also missing the Text tool. I'm only working on my desktop pc, so it's useless to use GoodNotes. It would be such a blast if this could be added in the future to make it useable for everyone.

  12. I think that an absolute eraser would be beneficial for Goodnotes. It would work with a higher level of erasing than what is currently available, not only erasing annotations but erasing whatever was imported. For example, importing a handout from university, an absolute eraser would allow us to erase a specific paragraph so that we can write and reword it better which fits our understanding better. This is not limited to rephrasing but also making it such that some words may be erased for fill in the blanks to promote active recall without the need to do flash cards. I…

  13. I don't know why there are two options
    1.Making flashcards using flashcards template
    2.Making flashcards using study sets
    Instead you can combine both to make it best .Read following point to know how ...
    1.There should be only one option to make flashcards (either by "Flashcard" / "Studyset" name )
    2. In this we can make our flashcard with all those options that are present in making flashcard using flashcard template
    a.Like editing image-by cropping it ,writing on it etc ,unlike studysets where we get only 3 options (text,image & sketching)

    b.Could share only selected flashcards instead of sharing whole…

  14. It would be nice to say "Select all handwriting" or simply "select all". Oftentimes when I need to resize I have to draw my lasso around the whole object multiple times because it misses a small or large portion. It would make resizing much easier if we could just say select all.

  15. Kindly add this feature of more highlighter color displayed on tab since as a student I use minimum of 5 highlighter colors to study and also to read personal books. It was such a hassle to change color by tapping the additional color instead of just having a 5 color option displayed. It will save A LOT OF TIME for those who study with this style who uses color coding scheme. Please help us.

  16. The new flashcard feature is great, now we can see the cards in a bigger way. The only thing that would be useful, would be if we had an overview over all the cards like we do in a normal notebook over all the pages, so that we can find specific cards more easily.

  18. Would like to be able to add a template for larger paper

    At present, the largest paper template is a tabloid, but due to the nature of the work, I am used to thinking and recording on larger paper. In other recording apps, there are 300 times the size, such as "Unlimited Draft". Although I don't need such a large paper, I still hope There are larger paper templates, such as large newspaper templates or modules that are several times or even ten times larger than the current tabloid. Thanks.
