  1. It'd be amazing to have Pop-up Notes. Say you're working on a paper with a dense list of questions that you'd like to answer in the same notebook. It'd be good to be able to create a Popup note (UI wise could just be a circular note icon that expands) in an area that you choose, so when you click on it a popup comes up that lets you write within that new popup.

    This would also be cool for marking or writing extra notes that you don't want directly onto a document.

  2. Give the option to customise folders through colours and maybe even icons and emojis that can be put over the folder for our subjects. It would make navigating a lot faster as we can see instantly where we want to go instead of relying on the smaller folder text.

  3. Be able to customise folders not just the plain boring blue colour. This will make it easier to differentiate between different folders

  4. I often switch pencils colors and strokes width, also between pencils and highlights.
    If we can use stock buttons which enable us to stock pencils or highlights preferences including color, width, this function makes GoodNotes easier to use!!

  7. Option to add more than 1 page at a time. If you have a meeting or class you need to add pages 1 by 1 until you have the amount of pages you think you will use because if you do it during the activity you may miss something.

  9. For scientists, students and others it is almost necessary to add subscript and superscript for many formulars and equotations.

    For my personal demand it‘ll be also awesome if you add blocktext to the text formatting settings :)

  11. This feature request suggests implementing in-place PDF editing functionality that allows users to edit PDF files directly from their file paths while preserving their personal file management preferences.

    With in-place PDF editing, users can seamlessly open PDFs in their original locations, make edits, and save modifications without creating duplicate copies. This streamlines the editing process and avoids disrupting established file management structures.

    This feature empowers users to store PDFs wherever they prefer, alongside related content, while retaining the file's original location. It respects users' organizational choices and eliminates the need for manual file rearrangement.

  12. Hello, I use the study kit option a lot and there are some features that I would like you to include.

    1° I would like to have the option of being able to change the order of the cards, when I am in thumbnail mode, in the same way, that I can modify the order of the pages in a notebook.

    2nd I would like to be able to move cards individually or by selecting several from one set to another.

    3rd In thumbnail mode I would like to see the names of the cards much larger, on the iPhone…

  13. Allow the creation of slides which "build", like PowerPoint's "appear" animation, without making multiple pages.

    I am a university professor; my colleagues and I use GoodNotes heavily both for teaching and presenting our research at scientific conferences. One of the last advantages PowerPoint has over GoodNotes, for our use, is the slide animation feature, where objects on a single slide can be made to appear one at a time when the slides are presented. To replicate this behavior in GoodNotes right now, the standard technique is to build the slide over multiple pages, using the page duplication feature. However, this…

  14. Import and convert word documents with track changes to a PDF to take notes. Competing apps can do this. I'm a professional using this app to mark up changed documents sent by my team. These are exclusively word documents and being able to open them in GoodNotes on my iPad would be great.

  16. I love using auto-advance in the zoom box for handwriting notes etc. However, it would be nice if the auto-advance recognized the specific page template being used (given that it is a page template provided by good notes). For example, when using the two-column page template, the auto advance should move you down to the next row in that column rather than have you continue writing across the page. It is a small adjustment that would make a world of a difference.

  17. Please add handwriting to text for Gaeilge. It’s such a good app but we can’t convert our notes to text as it just sees it as Chinese. All primary teachers in Ireland use Gaeilge on a daily basis. Please add this support.

  18. Allow for the shape, pen, or highlighter snap feature to instinctively recognize an intersection of polygons, lines, or just a plain dot. This feature is mainly focused on imported documents and images. In the image below is a triangle (redrawn for clarity) where at each corner, the blue do for the highlighter snap shape is not at the corner. The snap tool should detect intersections, such as for a grid line or corner of a polygon, and automatically move to the intersection.

  20. post it on the app should be easier to use. when you use them they should appear so you can write on them but when you top using them they should disappear/minimize (only appear as a little icon) so they don't use real estate on the screen or block part of it . when you want to read the theme you could press on the icon and the post should re-emerge.
