  2. icons, folder colour, gif, left bar

    1. you could add more icons for the folder, (especially for medicine :) ) and also more colors for the folder

  4. Search for notes based on time criteria.

    When we take a lot of notes during a long period of time, It can be difficult to find them back. It could be useful to generate "timestamps" along a notebook, such as date creation of a page, or tag with the time of the first note of the day, or a stamp with de date/time you want to tag in a page. The time then could be a criterion for search or when you review all the pages.

  5. MAKE THE RHOMBUS A SHAPE

    Make it possible for the app to recognise a rhombus shape and enhance shape recognition in general. Sometimes when I make small circles it detects them as ovals or worse as squares. For my use case this problem is a huuge limitation.

  6. Ability to set default font per notebook

    My most used goodnotes notebooks are drastically different page sizes. I often have to switch the font continuously or duplicate an existing text box in the destination notebook in order to have the proper sized font.

  8. Tape and smart learn

    Hello,
    I think that it is highly inconvenient that the tape tool becomes uninteractive while reviewing cards in the smart learn mode, both tools are extremely practical and I think that being able to combine the two of them would increase the learning experience.
    We could then make flash cards with sentences where the key words are covered with tape to see we know it in depth.

  14. Lock the content

    I wish I could lock the content or pictures I wrote with a pen. Every time I write, if I accidentally select a photo, it suddenly moves, which is inconvenient. If I could lock and unlock the photos or text I want written with a pen, this problem could be solved. Please help me.

  15. Two Pages view

    Hello GoodNotes Team,

    I use the GoodNotes app daily for studying and journaling, and I’d like to suggest a feature that could make the user experience even smoother.

    Currently, to view two pages side-by-side, I need to enter split mode, which requires multiple steps: pressing the split mode button, selecting GoodNotes again, and reopening the file. While this works, it can be inconvenient, especially for frequent use.

    I’d love to suggest a two-page view that automatically activates when the device is placed horizontally (landscape orientation) without needing additional steps or split mode. This adjustment would allow for a seamless experience…

  16. handwritten notes

    I would like to suggest incorporating AI technology into GoodNotes to enhance and beautify handwritten notes. This feature could improve handwriting in real-time, making it more legible and visually appealing, similar to what Apple Notes has introduced. This addition would greatly benefit users who prefer handwriting but desire a cleaner and more consistent appearance for their notes.

  17. I want to lock text boxes and photos.

    I want to lock text boxes and photos.
    If I put a lot of text boxes and photos, they move with the slightest touch and I need to do something about the mess on the edit screen. I really want this done now. I want the text boxes and photos to stay put. By the way, freeboard has a lock feature.

  18. Folder order

    Allow user to be able to drag and organise different notes/folders etc into any order that they want, instead of being limited to organising them by ‘date’ ‘name’ or ‘type’. I believe that this would allow me to organise my Goodnotes app that extra step further to make it perfect.
