  1. I think it would be super useful to have an option to save presets per documents. I have different notebooks for subjects in school and want to use different colors per document but don’t want to have to change my presets every time. so one notebook could be different pinks and one can be greens and one can be different colors.

  2. Please add navigation keys. The on screen keyboard only can navigate text lines by going left to right I would like to navigate up and down as well. When I get frustrated I usually attach my Bluetooth key board but that defeats the purpose of a tablet. It’s not always easy to do the long press with the space bar bc the cursor in iOS is janky and will overshoot. I don’t always have my pencil which sometimes solves the issue

  3. I recently switched from Notability to Goodnotes, I enjoy this app but I found the centering tool to be very helpful on Notability. I like my notes to be as clean as possible so I’d greatly appreciate it if some type of action was to be done for this to happen!

  5. 希望大綱與縮圖右上角可以新增一個圖釘📌,點了就可以讓所看到的縮圖大綱進度,跟著目前操作的頁面跑,不用每次都從頭往下找,尤其是在瀏覽數百頁的資料時。

  6. I use this app to take notes and study for big exams. But at times all my progress just erases and it's frustrating. I want to be able to back this up and get everything because this is just wrong. all studying and hours of work are down the drain.

  7. Currently when you are highlighting or using the eraser , the tapes can not be toggled to be transparent and back again. You have to select the pen or tape tool to do that. It would be way easier if you could also toggle the tape on and off while using the highlighter and the eraser .please see if that could be done. Thanks.

  8. I wish the sidebar when looking at your documents, when using the iPad, could be permanently closed & only open when I decide to hit the icon. It’s really annoying when I open my app & this sidebar is taking up a quarter of my app, all my files shift when I close it.
    Don’t get me wrong it’ll stay closed for a while, but if I don’t use the app for a little bit & go back in, the sidebar is open again. This isn’t the worst thing, but when it does happen, it’s a neusance.

  9. Currently, it’s not possible to use the trackpad for actions like deleting notifications or navigating within study sets. For example, you cannot swipe between flashcards in study sets with the trackpad, which makes the navigation feel clunky and inconsistent. Adding trackpad support for these things would greatly improve the user experience both on iPadOS and macOS.

  10. I’d like to be able to write notes on a page, and then create hidden pages behind it to do examples or whatever, kind of like writing on the back of a page in a physical notebook. Something that’s not another separate page that i would see when scrolling through my notes but if i wanted to see examples related to my notes on a specific page, or more inessential notes related to a specific topic, they would be attached to that page or “behind” it. This would be most useful in pdfs and math related subjects.

  11. I’d like to be able to view multiple pages side by side, for example to compare 2 pages, or have refer back to one specific page while writing on a different one. I also wish that when zooming out i can position the page anywhere on my screen; right now its only in the center and when I’m taking notes on a video for example, it would be useful to still have the whole page available for writing instead of part of it behind the video.

  13. it would be great if you could add this feature on the next update. Selecting multiple pages at once to delete highlighted or handwritten notes separately. I have multiple documents that I’ve highlighted and sometimes I would like to just delete the highlighted sections but then it would delete my pen notes and it’s tedious to use the erase for just highlights

  16. When using the trackpad to scroll in GoodNotes on Mac, there seems to be a delay at the start. The scroll doesn’t begin immediately, and it feels like I have to move my finger a certain distance before the scrolling actually starts.

  17. I'd love to have the option to toggle off the pop up window when clicking on hyperlinks leading out of GoodNotes. It would improve my workflow so much.
