  1. Please add a confirmation button to the duplication shortcut. "command D" duplicates my notebooks and makes my good notes crash. I accidentally press it instead of "command F" which is search quite often.

  2. Something that hides the UI while you’re taking notes and/or moves the brushes somewhere else so it doesn’t get in the way.

  5. I take a picture of a bathroom and use goodnotes to draw simulations of furniture and tiles etc. on top of the image i.e. the straight lines on the image does not align with the straight lines on the grid paper (due to optics, angles, wide-angles, etc.)

    Quite often, it is impossible to draw the correct straight line exactly from the correct points on the image e.g. floor corner to ceiling corner, because Goodnotes insist on snapping the line to the underlying grid.

    I wish I could completely disable all snap-to-grid functionality.

    thanks for a great app!

  6. A feature that enables creation of single-document documents. That means documents that do not allow to switch to other documents in goodnotes.

    This feature would enable to use goodnotes for writing exams. Currently this is not possible, since student can easily browse their other goodnotes for cheating.

    While it is possible to lock in students in the goodnotes app using Classroom, it is not possible to lock them in a specific document, e.g. the exam.

  7. GoodNotes should implement a feature to filter out only pages with annotation, side by side with the outlines menu.
    This would be much more convenient when reviewing large documents and e-textbooks.

  9. For small businesses, it is important to keep your intellectual properties to yourself.
    We spend countless hours creating spreads, and I want to restrict some parts of it so that the spreads cannot be manipulated but users can still write on the pdf and add pages. Sort of like flattening the spreads as a background image with links instead of shapes that can be extracted.
    However, when i restrict editing with a password in adobe reader, I have to type in the password before I can open the document in goodnotes. Is it possible to import the pdfs as a…

  10. Dears,

    I am a really satisfied user of GoodNotes5, but I really think that the app would be so much better if you allow the customers to create their personalized subsections of any file they are reading. As of today it is only possible to create Sections in the table of contents but there is no way to create Subsections which would allow users to navigate in a more structured way through their notes.

  11. Basically, Good Note UI is for Student Note. So Page Size is not Flexable ( It has Empty Parts of App )

  13. I am autistic and have ADHD and I use Speechify to read out loud any documents that I read. I am studying an engineering degree and use GoodNotes for all my work. I would love if you could somehow include a Speechify extension in GoodNotes so I don’t have to use two devices.

  14. I like the presets that you can customize on GoodNotes and having the keyboard shortcuts makes it easy to use a macropad to help ease my workflow even more!

    I would like to take it a step further by having key shortcuts for quick selecting the preset colors and sizes so that I don't have to lift my pen off away from the writing area to select a color or change my tool size.

    It's a small thing, but I think it would really be cool to implement this feature or something similar for people who really want to optimize…

  15. 我是一个书写爱好者,也是Goodnotes的忠实用户。我认为钢笔的压感并不真实。与此同时,我发现激光笔的压感做得很好(很真实)。因此,开发者们能否考虑一下把激光笔的压感用到钢笔工具上呢。

  16. I would like to propose a feature regarding backups with Google Drive:

    I would like to have a button with possibility to make, at that very moment, a mirroring type backup with Google Drive, so you could easily handle files locations changes.

  17. I would love if we could draw circles from a center point as well as doing it with the draw and hold feature. I find myself often drawing circles and it gets annoying having to draw them and then select it with the lasso and then move it to where I want it. Being able to draw from a center point would be very helpful for me.
