  1. The upper toolbar, where we the share-button or the undo-button are sadly is in a dark grey colour. I would wish that the customer can choose an arbitrary colour or even theme for this upper toolbar. For example OneNote is purple and in Notability the theme of the background and the toolbar can be changed.
    Thanks in advance.

  2. post it on the app should be easier to use. when you use them they should appear so you can write on them but when you top using them they should disappear/minimize (only appear as a little icon) so they don't use real estate on the screen or block part of it . when you want to read the theme you could press on the icon and the post should re-emerge.

  3. Imagine having a notebook for a specific subject like gravity in physics. Having to look up the formulas is unnecessary and requires to open two goodnote windows. What if there was a drop down or draggable smaller window that shows them specific for the notebooks with own written notes?

  4. The same colour and size is selected while annotating for Pen tool and Drawing Box/circle/shape tool by default . I hope the team works on this in future updates and lets users have separate colours for each tool and not necessarily default choice, so each time we switch tools it doesn’t hamper the flow

  5. Especially University Students will have to use f.e. Excel Files saved on OneDrive or Websites in their studies.

    It would be nice to be able to embed OneDrive links or Internet-Hyperlinks as Elements in Goodnotes folders, so that you have every data related to your studies in one place and in one view.

    Suggestion:
    When creating an element in GoodNotes, we use the „+“sign on the top left.
    One of the Options shown could be „Embed Link“.
    There can then be an interface to enter the link and choose a Name for the Element.
    Maybe let us also choose/customize the…

  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. Hello, everyone! I'd like to recommend you https://getmp3.pro, a program that allows you to easily convert any YouTube video to MP3 format. I use it to download music to my phone and it's really convenient and free. I also really like that the service works very fast and without any restrictions. If you love listening to music, you should definitely try this service! It will make your life one step easier and more enjoyable.

  8. I’m left handed and purchase my digital planners in portrait mode. When I write on GoodNotes I flip my iPad to landscape. When flipping to landscape I do lock my screen on the iPad but I’d also like to lock the document itself. When you purchase a portrait planner and flip to landscape the orientation is small so you have to zoom in, but when doing so the page can still move around. Please offer an option to lock the document.

  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.

  11. After I selected OneDrive, it showed a blank page when I logged in, and there were no response. No matter how long it waits, it won't be able to successfully log into my OneDrive account.

  12. When in the pen tool with pressure sensitivity scaled to absolute minimum there is still a pressure sensitivity, at the very end of the scale there should be an option for zero sensitivity, whatever I have selected for line thickness is exactly how it comes out!!

  14. It would be great if it could be an option to remove the little green icon that reminds you to study the flashcards. After an exam is done I still want them there but I’m not going to revise anymore and the fact that the icon appears on the whole folder is distracting.

  15. Some academic papers use endnotes. Would like a feature to quickly move between two points in a document. I might manually scroll to the bottom of the document to check the notes, but then it would be nice to have a button or toggle to take me back to where I was.

    Thanks

  17. So Im Using GoodNotes for some time now and imo there is some Features missing:

    • Color Picking tool (tap on the color to copy it and use it on a pen or marker till its being changed)
    • Mathsymbol Converter or Mathsymbolpaster
    • Advanced Drawing mode:

      • Drawing Symmetric Courves without adding them together
      • Aligning Lines

    • Optimized Textfields:
      • single field
      • Squared area

    And if its possible to…

  19. I would like to if the handwriting into text box which automatically changes the handwriting would be possible all the time (i dont have apple pencil so no scribble). You could add it to the setting so the writer could choose if they want it automatically changed or not. Also maybe if i could use the text boxes with zoom because it is easier to write like that. It changes my handwriting into the text box while using zoom feature but the words dont show up and they disappear.

  20. Allow us to define Bookmark groups: folders/filters which hold pages bookmarked with certain labels.

    I press the bookmark button on a page, this marks the page into an "unsorted" or "default" bookmark folder. When I go to look at my bookmarks for this document, I can then sort them into "Reference", "Revisit", "Inspiring", ... and other folders to better sort my dozens of bookmarks for long documents.

    Bonus points if I can color code the bookmarks too!
