  1. GoodNotes for Windows and Linux

    I saw that the Windows app beta has been released, I downloaded it and I saw that it is a webapp "hosted" by microsoft edge. I advise you to consider developing the app using Node.js and Electron.js, a fantastic library for creating webapps with HTML, CSS and Javascript. It can also be compiled for windows and all linux distributions. I hope this advice has been useful for the development of this fantastic app. It would be great having GoodNotes even on Linux!

  2. Allow freestyle zooming in/out for both landscape & portrait

    On iPadOS, one can zoom out beyond the margins of the given page while in landscape mode. However, the page remains centred and it is quite irking when I am trying to write something near the far right edge. This is exacerbated tenfold in portrait mode; you can’t really zoom out at all, making it incredibly frustrating when writing to the right edge.

    I don’t know why this wouldn’t already be the case, or why this shouldn’t be implemented, but we should be allowed to zoom in and out on our page in both landscape and portrait mode and it…

  3. Request for Full-Screen Mode with Floating Favorite Tools on Goodnotes

    First of all, I would like to express my gratitude for the incredible work you have done so far in providing an excellent note-taking experience with your Goodnotes app. I have been a loyal user for several years, and I appreciate the constant updates and improvements that you make to the app.

    I am writing to you today to request a new feature that I believe would enhance the overall user experience. As someone who frequently uses the Goodnotes app for taking notes, I find that the toolbar on the side of the screen can sometimes take up valuable screen…

  5. Study set text formatting. Make it global for each study set.

    Make the setting global for (1) questions and (2) answers. Allow customization on each card. The global settings are more important than customization.

  6. Color | Audio | Overlay

    • It should be possible to fetch the desired color from the page, for example from an image.
    • Change the name of the audios, and have something that would appear if that specific page had an audio. | It was good to have an option where what we wrote during the audio didn't stay on the page, or that for example we could record the red pointer together with the audio.
    • The option to adjust the position of an object and "send to the back" or "bring to the front", also divert is possible.

  7. Enable a share without edit feature

    I am in management and use GoodNotes for many things including staffing. It would be great to be able to share documents that are ‘live’ with any updates that I make, without having to ‘reshare’ a link, BUT with a option to share in a VIEW ONLY MODE (so I can make changes that my staff can see in real time, but my staff not be able to make changes)

  8. Procreate-like page movement

    The current zoom-in zoom-out is frustrating in that it does not allow the user to move the page, we instead move around a fixed point. In procreate were able to move the page any which way we want and I believe this would allow for greater flexibility on how a user can write their notes.

  9. choose what notecards you want to study

    It would be amazing if you could select what note cards you want to study at one time. Some material is harder than others, thus you only need to see certain material once or twice, while other materials need to be seen multiple times.

    I can make 200+ index cards and I need to be able to learn them efficiently.

  12. Stock the pencils preferences as buttons

    I often switch pencils colors and strokes width, also between pencils and highlights.
    If we can use stock buttons which enable us to stock pencils or highlights preferences including color, width, this function makes GoodNotes easier to use!!

  13. Customizable toolbar with colours

    The upper toolbar, where we the share-button or the undo-button are sadly is in a dark grey colour. I would wish that the customer can choose an arbitrary colour or even theme for this upper toolbar. For example OneNote is purple and in Notability the theme of the background and the toolbar can be changed.
    Thanks in advance.

  14. change order and move cards between sets

    Hello, I use the study kit option a lot and there are some features that I would like you to include.

    2nd I would like to be able to move cards individually or by selecting several from one set to another.

    3rd In thumbnail mode I would like to see the names of the cards much larger, on the iPhone…

  15. Post its idea

    post it on the app should be easier to use. when you use them they should appear so you can write on them but when you top using them they should disappear/minimize (only appear as a little icon) so they don't use real estate on the screen or block part of it . when you want to read the theme you could press on the icon and the post should re-emerge.

  16. Add space for researchers

    First thank you for your priceless. application. It’s really enjoyable to take notes.
    As a researcher, I need to read and annotate lots of papers. I would appreciate it if you could add a feature that allows me to write out the outline. I show it in the attachment. It will help organize and make annotation more enjoyable. Also, it gives us more space to make a connection between different articles.

  19. Mirror iPadOS-App behavior in MacOS-App when clicking Documents or Favorites

    Clicking on Documents or Favorites in the MacOS-App while being deeper in their folder structures doesn't return you to their respective root folder.

    I'd like to see the same behavior implemented as in the iPadOS-App where you do return to the root folder.

    Thank you for your work!

  20. insert pdf files

    I previously submitted feedback that it would be nice for goodnotes beta to be able to import pdf files. I got the response that this is already possible but after multiple tries and lots of googling I found out that this still isn't the case. So hereby I try again.
