  1. Hi Goodnotes-Team,
    as an architect, I often use Goodnotes on the building site to take measurements on the spot. I have to take a relatively large number of photos for this. It would be extremely useful to be able to take several photos at the same time and not have to start the process again after each photo.
    Best regards Tobi

  2. I currently have to use multiple apps to crop or split PDF pages before then adding them to the app. Would it be possible to add this as a function within GoodNotes?

  3. I would like it to be possible in the typing mode to write in Latex language so that I can format the text better and include my equations without having to convert them with the special tool (which in my case often fails

  4. The current colours for folders are extremely limited. I use Goodnotes for many different things, and I am having to repeat folder colours which makes it hard to quickly find things I need. I think it would be useful to rather have a colour wheel or similar option, or even a way to add a photo as the folder cover rather than just a small generic icon which is hard to see.

  6. I noticed that while scrolling through large documents with the toolbar in the downward position, the scroll bar tends to disappear behind the toolbar. The scroll bar then becomes impossible to ‘grab’ without manually scrolling to a higher point in the document where the scroll re-emerges again.
    I left a few screenshots to try and illustrate this issue.
    Thank you in advance !

  10. Please allow the tool bar to be moved to the sides, containing it to the top or bottom limits my ability to access all toolbar options quickly since I have to scroll to get different pen colors and time is precious in classes where the professor lectures quickly. And especially as a left handed person, I would love to be able to move the tool bar to the right side please.

  11. Hi, I think it would be great if we could have the option to add to the dictionary an abbreviation matching it with its full word. i.e. writing "freq." and then adding it so it matches with "frequent"; writing "w/" and matching it in the dictionary with "with". This would be great for quick note writing and "helping" the AI make sense of what we write

  12. 1.First of all, we cannot edit when we are not connected to the internet. This is really bad. We should be able to use the application while offline.
    Also, the writing experience with the stylus pen in the android version is not smooth.

    2.You should make a trash bin.

    3.In order to use pen options more effectively, you should make a floating favorite bar and you should not set a number limit on this feature and we should be able to position this bar horizontally or vertically.

    4.There is a 100 mb file size limit when importing notes. This is…

  13. I know it's been asked a few times but none recently (from what I have seen). I think it would be the best addition for people like me who write in cursive so that our handwriting is simplified (because I put so much pressure on the pen to write neatly). Procreate has this option and it's so helpful !

  14. Goodnotes 6 is an awesome tool for drawing however these 5 options could be very useful to say the least, wether it’s for drawing or for being precise
    (some are already suggested but maybe not in the way that follows)
    These includes:

    1) A length lasso option that measures any straight segment
    (in relation to the page format, it shows the real life measurements)

    2) A new compass tool, better that the original: with custom traits, adjustable length and a GUI showing the angle at which the arc is being drawn

    3) A shape lasso option that turns any closed…

  15. Make a button to make the all top bars become invisible and back visible. Just like top right icon from sketchbook app. It will make the notes more wide open.

  16. Dear GoodNotes Team,

    I love using GoodNotes for my note-taking needs. However, I'm missing a crucial feature - the ability to hide text using an invisible strip.

    Could you please consider adding this feature to future updates? It would greatly enhance my note-taking experience.

    Thank you for your time and consideration.

    Best regards,
    Gagan

  17. Over the last several updates the lasso tool has gotten a delay when you try to select something. It happens when you select something with a small lasso area. Larger lasso areas do not create this delay. I'm not sure if this is intentional, but it's made the lasso tool much less user friendly.

    Here are some steps to reproduce the issue.
    1. Create a line or dot with the highlighter tool
    2. Select the lasso tool (either regular or rectangular) and select the highlighted dot using a small circle
    3. Note that the dot is not selected for up…

  18. Dear GoodNotes Support Team,

    I hope this message finds you well. I am a daily user of GoodNotes, utilizing it on both my iPhone and iPad for schoolwork. However, I also own a Samsung Fold 4, which I take with me to school regularly. Unfortunately, I’m currently unable to access my GoodNotes files on this device.

    I was wondering if there are any existing or upcoming solutions to allow users like me to sync and access files across iOS and Android platforms. This feature would significantly enhance the productivity of users who work with multiple devices.

    If this isn’t possible…

  19. In the last update the 3 pen thickness options have disappeared from the tool bar to make space for the more colors options. As students, need to change the THICKNESS of the pens very quickly and countless times when taking notes.

    PLEASE BRING IT BACK ON THE TOOLBAR!!

  20. It would be great if you could change the gmail your account is linked to, so that you could have access to them in another drive. When I first made an account it was with my everyday email, now I have a separate one for business and school. Would be awesome if I could change it even if it was only allowed one time.
