  1. Mirror entire page, in the same menu where I can now rotate an entire page by 90 or 180 degrees.

    Use case: I want to make notes on a floor plan in an imported PDF file.
    But the floor plan is a mirror image of the actual space. So I want to begin by creating a mirror image of the page. In this case, I want a mirror of the image on the PDF page. I can also see reasons to be able to “flip” either the entire page with annotations or just an image in the imported PDF file,…

  2. Ich würde gerne einen Ordner inkl. der darin befindlichen Dokumente oder Unterordner teilen (freigeben) können und mit einzelnen Leuten darin arbeiten.

  3. Please i beg you it would be so much more convenient to have access to folders by having the option to expand on the left side of the screen like how the apple filing system works on files or finder. It is such a simple change i don't understand why it is not being implemented. thank you

  4. As a teacher I often have a lot of open documents, that are currently needed for the different classes I teach. When opening more than 4 or 5 files it gets difficult to distinguish between them without having to go back into folders.

    The following features would help here:
    - a dropdown menu to choose the file I need
    - the ability to group document tabs
    - colored document tabs similar to the new folder colors
    - a visual overview option to see small versions of all open documents, similar to the overview of open GoodNotes instances for split view…

  5. For requesting dictionary or translator, other apps such as Book in all iOS can do touch or tap in PDF file so I can read and take note in PDF file that is academic paper for taking some importance note like unknown word's for better understanding when I comeback to read.

    I feel a bit sad when my GoodNote cannot do like that. However, I don’t sure it’s hard or not if developer will add dictionary or translator into GoodNote by default.

  6. マスキング機能を追加頂きありがとうございます。
    もっとも、1冊の参考書だけでも数百にのぼるマスキングを付すことになるため、都度都度マスキングの表示/非表示を手作業で行うのは現実的ではありません。ぜひ、「マスキングの一括表示/非表示」機能をつけて下さい!
    (競合のノートアプリ、prodraftsのマスキング機能の仕様が優秀です。)

  7. A button to configure a specific card to be reviewed with both the question first, or the answer, helping us to study cards in both directions, as already used in some flash card apps.

    Would also be ideal to be able to use the tape on the flash card questions, if tape is implemented.

  9. Often when using the eraser, I find myself having forgot that I have selected a size too big and end up erasing too much. Therefore, it would be nice to preview the size of the eraser on hover, essentially the same way it is done in the native apps.

  10. I use a lot goodnotes at night, and it is really bad. I don't like the blue colour that stands out during the night. Would be nice to either leave it black, or just be more minimalistic like apple notes or notability.

  11. It would be great if you could change the gmail your account is linked to, so that you could have access to them in another drive. When I first made an account it was with my everyday email, now I have a separate one for business and school. Would be awesome if I could change it even if it was only allowed one time.

  12. When using the resize tool to resize images, stickers, text, handwriting etc… the resize tool anchors from the centre so when you pull it down at the bottom it will also shoot up at the top. This makes it hard to get it to the exact size you want as you can’t predict exactly half of how much bigger you want it if that makes sense. Basically just have options on all four sides to pull out or push in the image etc…

  13. adding the tool that enabled you to cover parts of text or just page in general and then reveal what is below just by clicking on it... basically tape feature like in other note-taking apps
    so useful for revising, especially in med, bio, pharm ... and other fields of knowledge

  14. Among the recent “ideas” I’ve seen more comments sharing links to casino websites than actual useful ideas. I don’t know if there’s already someone moderating the section, but I think it’d be faster to ban links in the comments (I’m not an expert in website development so I don’t know how hard it actually would be)
    Thanks

  15. It already got suggested, but a long time ago, that’s why im opening a new one. AI does a great job correcting misspelled words in handwriting. It would be amazing if that beautiful AI handwriting could also be applied to correctly spelled words, since my handwriting is terrible and others are struggling to read it. With that, I could just select all my handwriting, improve it with AI and voilà! It also shouldn’t be too time consuming since the AI handwriting tool already exists and only needs to be enabled to be applied via a long press for example.

  16. When writing notes, or creating drawings it could be helpful to have a "lock" tool so when moving/resizing/or color changes can be grouped together (instead of each time needing to circle every individual part and possibly missing something)

  17. Add the option to add a link to a recording to a page so that it’s easy to listen to recordings associated with certain notes.

  18. Your app's seamless integration of voice recordings and ball pen scribblings is impressive. Adding laser brush pointer integration to recordings would further enhance presentations, making them more dynamic. So that we can replay the recorder and see the laser brush pointer run along with the pre written text & the voice recording.

  19. After I copied 1,409 words from Bear iPadOS app and pasted into Goodnotes 6 iPadOS app, only some text are pasted. Most of it are truncated (data loss) as the pasted text only stops at the first page (current page). The Goodnotes 6 app failed to auto create new pages to cater to the pasted text. This is not a problem for all note taking apps in the iPad App Store.

  20. I use goodnotes in uni and have audio recording turned on during notes in my lectures. The thing I have noticed is that while helpful, for many of my classes, when I go to make refined notes it means i have to go back and listen to the whole lecture again (often pausing alot write down and catchup with things the prof said). This means that I often have to spend 2-3 hours on a one hour lecture just to get everything the prof said written down so I don’t miss anything. Thats alot of time dedicated to a class…
