  2. When taking notes for class, I write in a new note for each lecture rather than continuing off of one notebook. When studying for exams, I'd like to open all my lecture notes at once to study, but I can only tediously open one at a time. Could you add a feature for you to select and open multiple notes at once? Thank you!

  5. Please allow custom colour palettes for text. AND the ability to have mixed colours in a single text block. At the moment if you change the colour of part of a text block, the UI changes the WHOLE block.

  6. Many users are asking for technical drawing aids (rulers, protractors, triangle rulers, etc.)
    A very quick workaround [not a final solution, but a helpful start] would be to include a sticker collection containing some drawing tools on transparent backgrounds.
    I am aware that now one can create sticker packs by oneself, but not all users might come up with the idea / would know how to do it.

  7. Ich benutze GoodNotes für mein Studium und es wäre eine hilfreiche Funktion wenn man die Gliederung von Notizbüchern einrücken bzw. in ein- und ausklappbare Ordner Sortieren könnte. So würde vor allem die Navigation und Übersichtlichkeit von besonders langen Notizbüchern verbessert werden.

  8. If you draw and hold a line or something else, it should snap to the paper like in notability it’s just time saving if you are trying to make a diagram.

  9. I would like to have the option to have an unlimited page size, just like Apple notes. So no page-breaks in between, just one long page, which is expanding by it self.

  10. Sorry for the long title; I love the flashcard feature and use it every day in medical school and I am being able to study extremely effectively and learn the material while still having free time in my life.

    But If I could select certain flashcards within a single document by marking them with a certain signal to allowing me to study the flashcards I made for the first lecture before I study the next classes flashcards which build off the first lectures material. And even allowing me to mark certain flashcards "VIP" cards that amalgamate from all the notebook's…

  11. The ability to rearrange files in a folder the way you want by dragging them, different colors options for folders, a section in the app where you can actually create your own templates, the ability to import videos and watch video thumbnails on the app, movable transparent shortcut button on-screen to switch from pen to eraser, more options to import your own pen stroke style similar to procreate. If people can import their own templates for pages it would be awesome if they could do it for pens. And having the ability to edit your menu option would be awesome…

  13. If it was possible to import a document and then be scannable would be a godsend for those who need big chunks of text, are trying to look up words or are learning a language. Even those who need text to speech would be able to copy the scannable text and use it quickly.

  14. GoogleDrive, DropBox and OneDrive are available, but FTP/SFTP for share in own systems (for business or friends) isnˋt available.
    I think this can be useful for other tools.

  16. I love GoodNotes but the most tedious thing I dislike about the program is my handwriting. It would be amazing if the text box could be configured for a general use so you can write how you would with the pen but it converts to a preinstalled font. I have so much trouble with the text box adjusting them to the side, trying to go to the next line without using the keyboard, moving the text box.

  17. The laser pointer has a very cool design to it. I would love if they could make the design of how it looks into a pen so you could write notes using that design

  18. 你们在最新版本中去掉了这个选项,无法隐藏状态栏。本来工具栏面积就很大,现在不能隐藏状态栏,导致文档显示面积进一步被压缩。不要为了适配iPados15的分屏键,就让整个软件变得难用。

  19. Making it able to change the colour of the background of the imported documents so it looks more like a real paper page could improve the reading experience, while one is studying and making notes. Since the background in the notebooks are designed after this concepts, it seems weird that it is a neglected feature for the imported documents.

  20. Give us a Hex selector tool that we can use to select a color from a portion of a pre-created notebook to match the theme of the notebook. Right now we have to use an external Hex color selector and upload a picture to that program and then go back to Goodnotes to input that Hex code to get the color. Also, give us the option to create palettes that we can quickly select back and forth between colors that we have curated.
