  4. Display highlighter colours as how they appear on the page of the notebook when used. I can never guess how the highlight colour will actually show up when I select it.

  5. Dear GoodNotes Software Engineers,
    As a regular user of GoodNotes, I am writing to share a concern and a suggestion that I believe would enhance the user experience. I have attached a photo to illustrate my point.
    As an accountant, I frequently use payroll forms and other specific templates in my work. However, adding these favorite pages to GoodNotes currently requires me to navigate to the main menu and import them each time. This process is somewhat cumbersome and time-consuming.
    I would like to propose the addition of a new feature: a dedicated tab or shortcut within the app that…

  7. When importing a document to Goodnotes, besides “import to current” and “import to a new document”, also add the ability to “import to existing document” and browse to the document and page where you want to insert. This would be more convenient than having to open the document/page you want before importing. That interrupts my work flow. Thank you.

  8. Wäre super, wenn man die Seitenränder individuell einstellen könnte, damit es auch mit den Vorgaben von Universitäten übereinstimmt. (Z.b. für Abgaben)

  9. I wish for a feature that creates hyperlinks from headlines from imported files (pdf, image ...) and connects them to similar headlines that are hand written in the following.
    Here is the scenario where I imagine this function:
    When I get an excercise sheet at university, I import the pdf file to Goodnotes and start to solve the exercises in the following (handwritten). Because most exercises start with "Exercise 1" or something like that and I start my answers with the same headline. For easier navigation it would be helpful if Goodnotes recognizes these same headlines and creates a hyperlink…

  10. I wish for an interactive page numbering tool, that let's you place a field for autogenerated page numbers in your document or just a section of it.

    Here is my idea (translated by google):
    I love taking notes at university with Goodnotes. However, I find it cumbersome to add page numbers by hand to large documents. I use my own template for Goodnotes, which has a free field for page numbers at the bottom. I would like a function in Goodnotes that allows me to automatically generate page numbers and place them where I want.
    My idea includes a kind…

  11. I heard about Goodnotes from Samuel Suresh, and one of the things that impressed me was the ability to quickly create digital designs that combine handwriting and solid backgrounds that would be much more difficult by hand. Here is an example video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mHPO69egAcA. Thing is, Goodnotes has abysmal shape support. Every application I’ve ever used that has shape support you can change the fill and usually stroke color. Not Goodnotes.

    To the GoodNotes Team: Is improved shape support on the future roadmap? Take Freeform: You can quickly add zillions of shapes which are fully customizable. You don’t need to…

  13. Notion does this well but Goodnotes does not!

    I like having my system (mac, iPad) on darkmode but the actual application of light mode. It's too overwhelming for me to have Goodnotes loading up in dark mode because of the system.

    They need to the ability to make the app independent of the system settings.

  14. I want to give an idea of adding a translator because in my study field theres some terms that i need to translate them to understand the whole concept, also because English is not my first language, i find it difficult sometime to understand what im studying, so adding a translator will be a great and helpful idea for students who have the same problem as me.

  16. It would be incredibly useful, to be able to customize the distancing of dots and lines in templates.

    In different countries we use different spacing of lines in ruled, squared and dotted paper. Especially when designing worksheets to be printed it would be great to be able to specify the distance to e.g. 0.5 cm.

  17. The current edition contains the folders in a very bland way without any typical sorting arrangement available. It would be better if the sorting options for folders was made a little different for a better looking and pleasing user interactive interface on the home page

  18. 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。)

  20. I would like to be able to duplicate my files. They have links within the document. The problem is that the copied file links keep opening in the old file and do not link within the new document. This makes no sense to me. How do I fix this?
