  1. Timer in presentation mode

    I’m using goodnotes in my class to teach and like to make the timer visible in de presentation mode. This way students can see how much time they for a certain practice. Can this be done?

  2. Make the function of short-answer question

    I suggest the function of short-answer questions. Currently, I know that there is the function "study set", but we can pass a question despite we didn't memorize it accurately. So, it can be prohibited by make the type of question of "short-answer question".

    More specific form is as below.
    Form of the document is same with the study set. However, the method which it tests us will become "short-answer questions". Only if we write the accurate answer, we can pass to the next question. If we don't know about the answer, click the 'answer' button, then we can see the…

  3. Make spell-check and math match my handwriting

    I like the spell-checking and automatic math features in Goodnotes, but I find it jarring to look at text in my own handwriting next to text in the built-in "handwriting" font. I think it would be really cool to make it so when you autofill an equation or use the spell-check feature it maintains the style of your handwriting instead of using a stock handwriting.

  4. Ruler doesn’t align perfectly with the sheets

    I’ve noticed that the lengths on the ruler do not align perfectly with the boxes on the checkered sheets. Fixing this alignment issue would greatly improve accuracy and usability.

  6. Minimizing the Tabs and Navigation Bars for a Cleaner Editing Experience

    Please add a button on the toolbar to hide the navigation and tabs bar while editing. These bars occupy a significant amount of screen space and aren't necessary during the document editing process. Their large size can be distracting and reduces the available workspace. I really enjoy using Goodnotes, but this issue might force me to consider switching to another app if it remains unresolved.

  7. proper complex file handling

    I am a heavy goodnotes user, I have noticed that when my notes become complex the app starts to lag/bug/stutter to the point where my handwriting changes (as if the app is drawing straight lines between points that are noticeably further away from each other). By complex files, I don't mean long documents but rather supercharged single-page documents (for cheat sheets for example)

    edit: I am using an M series iPad Pro

  8. Change colour documents to greyscale

    I am required to download maps and images into Goodnotes for work and highlight and markup on these files.
    I find it extremely difficult to spot colours on an already colourful document. Is there a a tool or setting that could allow the user to change files from colour to greyscale?
    There are a few long ways to do this with desktops but I only carry an iPad with me. So unless I have a premium Adobe subscription I am stuck.
    I understand my issue may be unique but I’m sure the ‘convert to greyscale’ tool could come in handy…

  9. Scale from Corner

    Be able to scale a picture from corner, rather than centre. So, top left corner stays put, and dragging the bottom right corner of a picture scales the picture proportionately (and the top left corner stays fixed)

  10. Scale from Corner

    Be able to scale a picture by dragging from the corner rather than center-scaling. So, Top Left corner stays fixed, dragging the bottom right corner enlarges the picture proportionately. Perhaps by pressing the Option button while dragging the corner?

  11. Hiding the Tabs Bar and Navigation Bar While Editing

    Please add a button on the tool bar to hide the nav bar and tabs bar. The nav bar and tabs bar takes a lot of space and they're not needed when I'm editing a document. It's annoying how the 2 big bars take up precious screen space. I love Goodnotes, but I unfortunately would have to switch to another app if this issue is unsolved.

  12. EPUB support

    As a student, I often have my uni books in epub format and it would be great to have the possibility to modify/annotate them as we alreadu can with pdf. I know you can convert EPUb to PDF easily, but it doesnt always come out right, so EPUB support would be easier and more comfortable

  13. Enable preset text replacement on Mac OS that's been configured in MacOS settings

    I enabled text replacement in MacOS' keyboard settings to be able to to use λ and ₜ in my Flashcards by simply spelling "lmbd" for Lambda... Since it's not available on my keyboard.
    It works perfectly fine in Safari or pages etc. but not in Goodnotes.

  17. Pen colour

    Pen colour automatically changes in shape tool if pen colour is changed in ball pen.

    example: I want to write with black ball pen but underline (using shape tool) using red colour. If I change my pen colour to black while writing and want to underline in red then my shape tool also shows black colour and I have to again change it to red.

  20. Better with iOS Features on Windows and Android!

    I absolutely love GoodNotes and use it all the time. However, it would be incredible if all the amazing features available on iOS were also present on Windows and Android. Features like:

    Advanced handwriting recognition for easier search and navigation.
    Customizable templates to suit various needs.
    Folders and Subfolders: Robust organization system for notes and notebooks.
    Seamless syncing and cloud backup for uninterrupted access across devices.

    Bringing these features to Windows would greatly enhance productivity and accessibility, making GoodNotes the ultimate note-taking app for everyone! Let's make it happen! 🌟
