  1. iPadOS 16.2 added external monitor support. However, when I open a notebook in Goodnotes it messes with the size of my external monitor due to presentation mode automatically starting. I want to be able to deactivate it, so I can properly use my monitor.

  4. More textures for pens. Like pencil textures etc. Also, to be able to post templates or stickers for others to use. You could even pay users for designs and others get the designs if they but premium.

  6. Having written black pages with white font color, it would be great to just switch to the negative (page turning white, white font color changing black, the other colors don’t change) to print the notebook.

    Would love to have this feature !

  7. It would be nice to rename existing files. I noticed that recently you are able to rename files when uploading. Please also give the option to rename after uploading.

  8. I would love to be able to write or add text on the folders icon, or have different patterns or colours. This would be helpful to quickly and easily distinguish folders from each other

  9. Auf unseren Lehrer iPads steht uns die iCloud wegen Einschränkungen leider nicht zur Verfügung. Es wäre super, wenn man auch über andere Cloud Dienste synchronisieren könnte.

  10. When we shrink the note size, there are a lot of margins on the sides. I'd like to be able to take notes on these side margins, please! My lecture slides are not big enough, so it'd be so nice to be able to create some extended margins to the sides to make notes. Thank you! please please please ❤️

  12. If you're not going to try to add voice recording to goodnotes, I think it would be just as helpful to add the ability to link websites, or paste videos into the notes the same way you'd attach a picture. GIFs would be fascinating as well.

  14. Idea: Allowing white ink in dark mode to automatically be switched to black ink in light mode. Basically, allow for visibility of the inks when switching between dark mode and light mode. Collanote (a free app) is able to do this and I would love for this to also be available in Goodnotes!

  16. I think it would be beneficial to add a feature where you can chose 3 colors that are automatically selected when you choose it. For example, instead of having to choose red, blue, and yellow colors, you could choose the group instead. This way the three colors are automatically selected on the hot bar.

  17. It would be fantastic if there could be an hour/minute/second timer built into goodnotes. My purpose is for taking notes on movies and tv episodes since I work in post production, but I could see this being useful for taking notes during video lectures etc to be able to reference back to a certain timecode easily, or have a time of day stamped to notes. How I could see it implemented is pressing a tool in the toolbar, followed by pressing on the paper, dropping the timecode onto that spot. Maybe long pressing the tool could allow you to reset…

  19. Cryptomator allows users to sync data on whatever cloud service they want. It is end-to-end encrypted.

    iCloud, One Drive, Dropbox, etc. are not secure. These tech companies can decrypt user data at will.

    This is why Good Notes needs to support users being able to sync to different locations within settings, so that users can point their sync to a Cryptomator vault to protect their data.

  20. I hope that you can added two useful functions to the app.

    The first one is that let the user modify the code of book, that is, let the user customize the first page of books. The users can not go to according page that the content tell us because the page number in the app is a sum equals the later page number add the content,including the cover. That's really make me crazy.

    The second one is that Increase the level of the outline. We can add the page to the outline, but we can not set the lever…
