  1. Automatic picture and writing grouping without changing layering order when clicking on picture.

    When annotating an image, and then clicking on the image, the writing gets brought to the "back" layer, and annotations are lost. Keep the writing on the picture as if it's already grouped and part of the image.

  2. Scan documents feature in photo tool

    You can scan documents for the template, but not for the photo tool. I think adding this feature to the tool would be very helpful in many cases.

  3. Continuous pages

    I would like the possibility to use continuous pages instead of a set size of a page. The width is okay, but the possibility to scroll down more or less endlessly would be nice. I think this way my notes are more structured because I can have one topic on a page and not over several pages. I know this concept from OneNote and this is the only function I really miss.

  4. Math font color change

    The math font feature is great, but changing the color of the font would be very helpful so the typing could be seen on different colored pages.
    Right now the quickest option is to copy and paste the math into a text box and change it from there.

  6. Be able to create and organize multiple color pallets

    Sometimes I want to be able to organize my color pallets depending on the mood/theme of my layout, it’s mentally exhausting just having one big mixed list!

  7. Sidebar navigation instead of infinity nested files

    Please create a sidebar with dividers and subjects and files to make navigation easier. It's more convenient than clicking file into file just to find one document.

  8. Book shortcuts

    Shortcuts to get to books. For instance I want a book to be in two folders since its relevant to two folders. However I dont want different copies of the book in the two folders. I would rather have the book in one folder and a shortcut of it in the other.

  10. Proper text highlight with pencil support

    Currently there are two ways to highlight text from an imported PDF: using the highlight tool and highlighting freely the document with the aid of a pencil, or manually selecting the text and clicking on the highlight option.
    The latter method is more flexible for tasks such as studying on a textbook, as the highlight adjusts in size with the underlying text. Unfortunately, it is a very time consuming approach as it requires to first select the text, wait for a menu popup and then select highlight.
    It would be convenient to have an alternate behavior for the highlight tool,…

  12. Features Request For Goodnotes Beta for Android&Windows

    1.First of all, we cannot edit when we are not connected to the internet. This is really bad. We should be able to use the application while offline.
    Also, the writing experience with the stylus pen in the android version is not smooth.

    2.You should make a trash bin.

    3.In order to use pen options more effectively, you should make a floating favorite bar and you should not set a number limit on this feature and we should be able to position this bar horizontally or vertically.

    4.There is a 100 mb file size limit when importing notes. This is…

  14. Global color palette

    It would be a critical feature for to have a global color palette that can be used in both handwriting and text. Otherwise, we will have to do double entry for every custom color that we want to use in different tools.

  15. Eye dropper

    A eye dropper for the pen and high lighter because a lot of people use this app to study or for calendars (including myself) and some people like to group things with high lighters or underline and it’s pretty hard going back and checking if you got the right color or if it’s slightly lighter or darker especially with the highlights

  16. Rearrange flash cards

    It would be nice if we could also rearrange flash cards once they’ve been created, instead of having to take the time out to copy the info, duplicate a card in the desired spot, clear the newly duplicated card, and paste/rewrite all the info.

  17. Flashcards

    EN: The ability to label/ write flashcards just like regular notes (i.e. picture, pencil and text AT ONCE, not just one of them at a time).
    Post’its and stickers are welcome as well.

    DE: Die Möglichkeit, Karteikarten wie normale Notizen zu beschriften/schreiben (d.h. Bild, Stift und Text AUF EINMAL, nicht nur eines davon).
    Post'its und Aufkleber sind ebenfalls willkommen.

  18. Images in Comments

    Being able to add images in comments would improve communicative abilities when reviewing docs and also provide the ability to add references/context images to paragraphs that can collapse into just a comment note. ( and don’t occupy space in the actual page )

  19. Apple Shortcuts Support

    Currently, GoodNotes offers a few basic actions in Apple Shortcuts.
    I would love to see more advanced actions that allow users to customize their workflows to a greater extend.

    Here are some automations/workflows I could imagine:

    • Shortcut to open the notebook corresponding to the lecture your currently sitting in (by checking your current calendar events)
    • Every evening, automatically check whether I’ve written something to my diary today, if not, prompt me to do so and open the last page
    • Every evening, check which lecture notes were edited, then export them and share them with a friend who doesn’t use GoodNotes
    • …
