  2. I want to start by stating that I absolutely love GoodNotes.

    However, as a Student, I am not able to purchase the largest capacity storage version for the iPad (as I am sure many students can agree).

    With the file size of the data getting so large, it can quickly eat up so much space, (even on the brand new iPad Air 5th gen).

    Is there any possible way to reduce file size and still be able to edit the notebooks or notes. This would be perfect!

  3. I use a standard folder format in Goodnotes. I have to create this every time. I would like to see the feature added to a complete folder, including child supmaps and any documents in these folders.

  4. When I search up text, striked out words still appear in the results. When I strike out text I tend to not use them or want to see them. I also posted an idea erase pdf notes which would also solve this problem.

  5. The Eraser Tool is used to erase only pen & highlighter strokes. There should be a separate option for allowing us to erase PDFs or slides when importing something like lecture notes that may have some unnecessary notes or writing.

  6. Ich muss das jetzt mal sagen da es im Appstore nicht geht. Bitte entfernt den In-App-Kauf es gibt so viele Nachteile vor allem für die die die App vorher GEKAUFT habe. ich benutze die App fast jeden Tag deswegen spreche ich aus Erfahrung und in meiner Klasse in der Schule benutzt auch jeder GoodNotes und ich sehe das schon kommen dass irgend jemand GoodNotes aus Versehen deinstalliert und wieder installiert und da alle das damals gekauft haben als man es noch kaufen musste wäre GoodNotes nach dem Installieren WEG. außerdem kann man die App nicht mehr mit der Familie teilen…

  7. When you click duplicate you can only duplicate the page once and then you have to click it again and do it again if you want to make multiple duplications of the same page. I think it would be better if when you click duplicate there is an option to enter how many duplicate pages you would like to make. This would really come in handy for planners where you duplicate monthly and weekly pages a lot.

  8. Can you please add the ability to highlight content as it is spoken this feature works on other iPad apps such as web browsers and Notability but for some reason does not work in GoodNotes? Thanks looking forward to future updates.

  13. When taking notes, it would be helpful if there was a way to create flashcard desks automatically from a document. I envision is being something where we could select the text that we want, and then there would be an option within the menu to automatically turn that text into a flash card. It could also be something where we could take a screenshot like we normally can with the lasso tool and then have an option there to turn it into a flashcard and then have the ability to select what we want blocked out on the front of…

  14. Under the continuous page scrolling with the pdf slides under 16:9 ratio, pages are auto enlarge out of the screen edges, causing me to have to keep scrolling also left to right to view the whole content on a page. Please fix this.

  16. I do a lot of math and when creating equations I like to make exponents, subs or even small corrections a different line width for them to stand out. It would be very helpful to be able to to use the pencil tap shortcut on Apple Pencil to change the line width and even the color instead of having to constantly reach up to the selection menu to switch back and forth. I have attached a screenshot of a very long problem that I have solved using method as an example of what I’m referring to and how useful it…

  17. I like a simple, minimal, clean, and concentrated UI. So I think if GoodNotes can provide a function that I can one tap on the screen to hide all the tool panel, just leave the canvas there. Then this would be very great!

  18. An setting u can turn on so that if u start writing something a TEMPORARY straight line appears underneath your text that u can then write on. That way even if u are writing on blank paper (for example powerpoint slides), you can still write in a straight line. When u stop writing the line disappears (after approximately 5 seconds so you can lift your pencil up for a space between words in one sentence)

    This would be a very small but truly amazing feature!

  19. Currently only way to change colors of pages and written text (highlighter and pen) is to lasso change the color.

    Add an option that would open a menu with all page formats, highlighter and pen colors of a current document, with ability to remap each of them.

    This would introduce simpler way to change the whole notes template, as some people (including me) draw on black paper with white pen strokes that are not really sensefull to print on white paper.

    Example of black paged notes with yellow highlighter, white & red pen writing:

    • used template: A4 Black Paper
    • used…
