  1. This app is excellent at what it does, but it’s designed more for single users rather than collaborative groups or teamwork in a real-world setting. It seriously lacks multi-platform file management and proper syncing capabilities. The foundation is there, but it’s not fully realized yet. There should be a way for two or more users to work on the same files while keeping everything synced in the cloud.

    If the current "backup to OneDrive" feature were transformed into a true 1:1 sync with the ability to use SharePoint as a file source, it would be ideal. Additionally, new users joining…

  2. I understand we have the hyperlink option, where you can move to a different page by clicking on the text.

    It would be great if we could assign each page to a topic e.g., page 1 , 3 ,4, 20 are consulting and page 2, 5,6 are finance

    and then on the first page or somewhere else it could show a box saying the title then when u click on the text or the box, it would open a new window and only show the pages that are selected to come under that box if that makes sense

  3. Making shapes in GoodNotes is a very nice feature, but as an engineer, it would be nice if you considered the following enhancements when we try to draw the first concepts for the next design:

    Adding the following features will make handling sketches easier:

    Ability to edit shapes and connect them to others.
    Ability to select lines in a shape and make them parallel or perpendicular.
    Ability to measure lines or circles by selecting them and show their sizes, or the angles, and draw the measure distance .
    Ability to edit units in mm or inch to a line and…

  4. The new ruler function would be more helpful if you could also measure lengths with the ruler. Two boxes on the checkered side do not correspond to 1cm on the ruler. Therefore, the ruler can only be used to draw straight lines and unfortunately not to measure lengths.

  6. It would be great to have a feature where we can customize each pen/highlighter sizes depending on notebook/documents. For example, I use different pen sizes when taking notes but different pen/highlighter sizes for lecture notes since they use different sized documents (letter, A4, B4, etc.) So rather than going back and forth, adjusting sizes, I think it would be better to customize accordingly.

  7. I think that actually the addition of audios files inside Goodnotes is impossible, and that could be good for the users if this improve exists.

  9. At the end of each stroke, there is some motion smoothing mechanism in place, which creates unwanted curves. It would be great if we could get more control over the motion smoothing feature, like increasing it's intensity, or turning it on and off whenever required.

  12. The typing experience in general needs to be better, it needs to be closer to Word. We have to be able to choose the size of the fonts, the margins of the page, the interline space, etc…
    The pointed list need to be better, now it can’t change the number if we want to and it starts back to 1.
    If we’re able to better the typing feature to be more consistent and interchangeable with the pen writing, it would be an almost perfect app. As in now I need to switch to Word for some important features that I…

  13. It would be really usefull for language learners to be able to use the flashcards in both ways. That means that we could change the settings and get questioned by the answers.
    Example: I have a flashcard. As a question i put in „How are you?“ and as an answer I put in „Wie geht es dir?“ (German). Now I could use it the regular way and i see the english side first and have to find the german out and then there could be the second way (the idea) where i change the setting and see the german sentence…

  14. Please allow text that reaches the end of the page to automatically transfer over to the next instead of manually transferring it. the manual transfer doesn't work well for me in the first place, but instead is just annoying for me.

    Please also make it easier for bullet pointed lists to have easier subsections/indentations. For example, in google docs I can easily create new indentations by doing "cmd ]" or "cmd [" for the bullet point, open bullet point, etc. this would be LIFE changing for me as a student. These are the two main gripes I have with this…

  18. As I am using Goodnotes daily for school work I often need to access transcripts at a later point when I am doing homework for example. Having the option to easily access my notes on my Windows PC while I am writing on another part of the page or even another page on my iPad would make working with Goodnotes a much better experience, as the collaboration feature often not works for me as intended and is a lot more time-consuming to do. I have been using OneNote before and the only think making me think about switching back to…

  19. Is it possible to expand the Goodnotes cloud service to all users?
    I read the page ( Goodnotes Cloud on IOS Pilot Program).On this page, the Cloud is only eligible for Yearly plan members...That is pretty sad 😢 What I am concerned about is I already paid for other cloud services. For iCloud,I won't pay a subscription.

    Meanwhile, I saw there may be invitations to upgrade iCloud to goodnotes cloud...hope that I am not misunderstanding, cause two statements are a bit contradict.

    If this advice will be accepted in the future, It is convenience. Thank you.
