  1. Hey there,

    we use GOODNOTES at our school on a daily basis and I think it would be a great idea to manage the import of documents like PDFs. For example: if I want to open a PDF in OneDrive and share it in order to open it into another App like Goodnotes, I can only choose to import it into the current document or open a new document. It would be a great idea to be able to choose the document and maybe have it saved to multiple documents at the same time.

    Kind regards

  2. When scanning, each scanned document is converted to the US Letter format. This means an originally A4-sized sheet is shrunk and gains borders. This is problematic because I am a geometry teacher, and when a student draws a line of, for example, 7 cm on their A4 sheet, the internal Goodnotes ruler only reads 6.3 cm. This is inconvenient. I would like to be able to set the format to A4 during scanning so that all real lengths can be accurately measured by the Goodnotes ruler.

  3. Hi Goodnotes Team,

    As an architect, I take a lot of measurements on construction sites with GoodNotes and my iPad.
    I take a lot of photos for the measurements, which I then label with GoodNotes.
    Unfortunately, I have to reset the desired camera settings for each photo, e.g. flash on or zoom setting of the camera.
    It would be nice if there was an option to save the last camera settings.
    Greetings Tobi

  5. Dear GoodNotes Team,

    Hello, my name is Tami, and I have been using GoodNotes since its initial release. I believe you must have tried the app CollaNote at some point.

    Today, I have a request. In the CollaNote app, when you write, it automatically adjusts the shape of the letters to keep them from looking uneven, almost like a magnetic effect. As a left-handed person with tremors, I often struggle with keeping my writing neat.

    I would greatly appreciate it if GoodNotes could add a similar feature that automatically adjusts the shape of letters in your next update. This feature…

  6. Please change the current erase options system (Erase highlighter/tape only), into this sort of mechanism;

    Eraser Style

    (Precision/Standard/Stroke...)

    Pen-erasible [toggle_switch]
    Highlight-erasible ["]
    Tape-erasible ["]

    I had experienced situations so much in which I wanted to erase only pen traces, and perhaps along with other types of traces.
    In one instance, I was using tapes to make my own fill-in-the-blank questions. However, I couldn't dare to write any letter with a pen because you can't just erase them without removing the tapes along, and it is really frustrating.
    At other times, I had to struggle erasing pen marks overlapped with highlights,…

  7. In the pages tab can we select multiple pages and then choose “paste into” to then paste the clipboard contents into all selected pages in the same place as the item was copied from. Eg boxes, shapes, text for tabs etc

    I know we can paste pages but paste INTO pages would be amazing.

  8. I was using Good Notes for a while, it was great. However, I can't stand the blue color of the ribbon in the UI any more (it's the same for me as with the OneNote, I can't stand their purple color). The white and blue UI in the reading mode is alright, however in the writing mode it becomes very annoying. Could you add an option in the settings to change the color scheme to white and gray (or some smooth black), at least make an option to preserve the reading mode scheme all the time even in the editing…

  11. In Goodnotes 6 you can add a hyperlink to your document to take you to another page in your document/notebook. But you have to scroll to the page you want to click. I have notebook to tracking my books/personal library and for my financiance they are HUGE notebooks, like 1000+ pages. I don’t want to scroll through all of the pages. The scroll feature is nice, but I wish you could type the page number you want a hyperlink to. This would help a lot when making an index.

  13. There's already been a highlight feature and a strikeout feature for selected texts on PDF files, so I wonder if you can implement applying tapes onto selected texts as an addition, since we have tape functions just on board.

  15. I tried using the study set and seems like a great tool for studying but the animations are quite bugging me.

    It would be great if there was an option to choose activate/deactivating the animation. Or selecting the animation speed would be fine too.

    The animation looks cool, smooth and all but it's just unnecessary for studying.
    It just lenghtens the time to cover the material and just hinders the experience.
    Think it would also benefit users with laggy older generation devices.

  16. Please add "insert space" function like in OneNote, so I can add more text between the pre-existing lines of text, like "insert space" function in Microsoft OneNote.

  17. Hello everyone. Site https://www.casinoslots.co.nz/1-dollar-deposit-casino was a real find for me when I was looking for a casino with a minimum deposit of 1 dollar. The section dedicated to these casinos provides comprehensive information and detailed reviews, which helped me to choose the right casino quickly and easily. Now I can enjoy playing without depositing large sums. A great resource for those who want to try their luck with minimal investment!

  18. Being able to instantly make flashcards of your college slides. To be able to automatically have each slides as an answer, and only having to come up with a question relevant to the slide. Now I have to spend hours placing my college slides in the answer bar of the flashcards.

  19. Covers imported directly from the market place are able to be grouped by the same cover. Custom imports should be able to also be categorized with different color options all together under one cover, instead of having them all separate in the same group.
