  1. 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.

  2. Feature to apply one or more labels to a single page of a notebook.
    Similar to how email labels work within GMail.

    This is a different idea or for a different use than the ‘outline’ thumbnails. The outline feature seems to serve best as a table of contents. My idea here is of a combination of a table of contents + index. I realize that more than one outline label can be assigned to a page.

    Include a thumbnail screen that would show all pages associated with a label.
    The thumbnail screen could be dedicated to 1 notebook [document].
    Or…

  3. I don’t know why. Writing with the original Apple fountain pen in app like notes produces very neat and beautiful handwriting, but it is ugly when I try to use the fountain pain in Goodnotes. Do you have any suggestion? 😅

  4. The Windows version cannot be used offline. This is not practical, for example, at universities if you cannot access your notes and create new ones because there is a problem with the WiFi.

    GoodNotes should create offline notebooks and sync them online. Like on iPad.

  5. I love using my stylist to highlight. But sometimes I find my hands to be shaky so I perfer to hold and select text to highlight. I’m proposing adding colours to the hold to highlight feature. It’s limited to just yellow. PLEASE ADD ALL COLOURS TO HOLD TO HIGHLIGHT FEATURE.

  6. It would be great if there was the possibility to pan with the middle button of the mouse, when working on Goodnotes for Windows. Or also zoom with a combination including the middle button (such as Shift+Middle button).

  7. allow the user to draw a determined stroke and then allow the user to set that as a stroke type for a line he draws. like if the user wants to draw a wavy line where two are parallel to one another or draw a line that is just a repeating design like with a dotted line that uses for example the drawing of an ice cream instead of the dot.

  8. 안드로이드는 테블릿용으로 밖에 안됩니다. 펜이 있는갤럭시폰의 경우는 사용하기 매우 힘듭니다.

    아이폰에서는 아주 사용하기 좋은데, 왜 이렇게 운영하는지 이해하기 힘듭니다.

  9. Dashed lines and curves would be great. I often find myself needing to draw a dashed line in graphs, or in hidden sides of 3d shapes. It’s a must in a note taking app. The implementation of this feature shouldn’t be a challenge for any programmer, especially as it’s already exists in Goodnotes 5 code. For example, the dashed curved in the Lasso tool, or the way Goodnotes 5 draws shapes. If you use Standard Eraser to erase alternating sub curves, you are left with a dashed curve, except now it’s not functioning as a curve and you can’t edit…

  10. Please audio recordings need some basically feature to be implemented, otherwise their use is almost impossible.
    1 first of all, there is no point in showing in the time bar all recordings at the same time. Just show the corrent track, otherwise it is almost impossible to navigate to a specific point
    2 It is equally important to have the possibility to rename the recordings. It is so difficult find the right records just from the order or the date

    these 2 are the critical iussues. Other good feature may be add the possibility to export audio files, change the…

  13. I'd like to create flashcards because it helps a lot in recalling topics for exams. It also gets easier to have this as a sort of note-taking. Please I'm begging Goodnotes for this feature to be included in the Goodnotes for 'Windows', this means a lot. Thank You.

  15. This feature is the ultimate tool to make GoodNotes 5 'the' complete notes app.

    If these features were to be added, then it would be tremendously high ranking and even better than MS Notes and other famous apps. After 2 years on Campus my personal experience is that most students enjoy using GN5, rather MS apps. The most asked for question in my class is if they will add 'this' feature, because then it would make it complete and is quite decisively when it comes to math and physics.

    I am sure that this feature would excel as it is…

  16. It is disappointing that you cannot reorganize the comments added to different pages in the order you would like to. And seems that once you add a comment, the counting never stop even after DELETING some of them.

  17. Hello Goodnotes,

    I simply requesting for the size of the thumbnails to be increased when viewing a document in thumbnail view. There is currently space in between the thumbnails to enlarge them as well. They are so small it is hard to get an idea of what is written on the pages.

    It would make it so much easier to skim through large documents, if you could see the documents better in a more zoomed in view. Please see photo.

  18. Study sets should be exportable to Anki or other flashcard types so you can easily share them with others.

  19. I love the idea of having study sets in Goodnotes as it is very convenient. I just want to suggest more features for it like multiple choices, match a with b, sequencing, true or false, and an option to write down the answers for identification too would be very helpful to us students. Thank you and have great one!!

  20. Allow the center of a circle to be shown. As a teacher I use good notes in my geometry class and would like to see the center and/or the radius too!!
