  3. Like how we can create comments and collapse them, if we could place a sticky note and collapse it, I think this would be a great feature to expand note taking. Especially on things like PDFs that do not have a lot of room in the margins.

  5. I love this new feature added to GoodNotes 5. It can become better by:
    1. Syncing the page with the audio, which is by showing the number of the current page in which the recording is being played.
    2. Adding the ability to Rename the Audio Files.
    3. Adding the ability to export the Audio Files.
    4. Recording pixel by pixel which results in smoother writing when recording is replayed.

  6. In order to allow the use of Goodnotes company, we require to be able to apply certain security policies. This is done via MS Intune MAM, which require that the app is integrated with Intune SDK. I know this is a requirement at many large companies. The fact that this is not the case, excludes Goodnotes from a lot (!) of users.

    Please integrate Intune SDK to the source code, so that it can be included in our and several others app repository.

  7. The present linking process is time consuming…to make it easy my suggestion is while linking a page from one document (A) to another page (lets say page no-206 of document (B)) can u please allow us manually entering the page number instead of scrolling to the 206th page in document B….because it is too tedious.

  8. Currently, when a PDF file is imported into GoodNotes, users cannot scale the individual pages, especially if they contain existing content. This can be problematic when working with PDF documents that have a page size much larger than desired, leading to an inconsistent and cumbersome user experience.

    Proposed Feature:
    Introduce the ability to scale and resize entire PDF pages after they have been imported into GoodNotes, regardless of whether they contain existing content. This would allow users to adjust oversized pages to a more manageable size, ensuring a more streamlined workflow and better usability when working with PDF documents.

    Benefits:…

  9. GN works well on iphone/ipad. However, it is poorly optimized for Macbook (where many of us use it). Needed improvements: decrease memory use and battery drain, set standard window size, fix glitches leading to freezing and need to exit and restart.

  10. 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.

  11. there are a few features that exist on the IOS Application that is missing on the WIndows/WEB Application. for example I am missing the ability to fill in forms and drawings that I made. also, the ability to have several documents open in the same app. I can also not erase notes just by scribbling over them, which might be a problem for Lenovo and also there are just way more possibilities to customize the Pen on the Tablet App.

  13. The Cursor when using a pen is 4 pointers sticking out from the center. It is really bothering me. Cause if i try to draw compact letters it will just cover it completely. An option for Different cursor types would make it al ot more enjoyable :)

  14. Why?

    I use different colour palettes for notebooks, for example soft natural colours in a journey diary but clear, very different colours while working my way through a scientifical PDF. So I added many colours to choose from and have reached a confusing number.
    I had to compromise on some of each colour palette for my preset 12 colours so it‘s only about 3-4 preset colours for each kind of document
    I also use different pen thicknesses, etc.
    My text boxes look very different between my notebooks.

    So to keep different colour palettes, other settings to choose from and the…

  15. I have to move the content of 80 pages digital planner into new planner that contains hyperlinks.

    • moving pages is not an option because the hyperlinks on the planner will be lost
    • and using the lasso is a lot of time consuming

  16. Guten Tag
    Es wäre super, wenn es Vorlagen für Lernsets gäbe (z.B. kariert oder liniert)

    Zudem wäre es einen grossen Mehrwert, wenn die Lernsets wieder als pdf exportierbar wären.
    So sind die Karteikarten an die App gebunden und es ist kaum möglich diese offline zu repetieren, was sehr schade ist.
    Bei der Version 5 gab es diese Option!

  18. I want to backup my notebooks periodically to my encrypted drive service proton drive however the automatic backup feature only supports a select few services. I know supporting new services can be difficult so I noticed that my iPad has a folder that my proton drive app already automatically syncs to my cloud. If you could backup periodically to this folder on my iPad it would work universally.

  19. I think it would be beneficial if there was the ability to sort documents by date last opened instead of date created. I have tons of documents and sometimes it’s hard to find what I need even if I just opened it. I want my most frequently used to be at the top of the list. Even the ability to pin a folder/ notebook would be nice

  20. If all Goodnotes files were saved alongside other files it would make it easier to store all files in one place and not have duplicates on Goodnotes and my Files app. I understand that Goodnotes make all files the .goodnotes format in order to save annotations and such, but I still think saving these Goodnotes formatted files in the Files app is far better as it gives a better way to view all my notes in once place and not have to import everything into Goodnotes. Maybe users can be given the option to convert PDFs to a Goodnotes format…
