  1. It would be incredibly useful, to be able to customize the distancing of dots and lines in templates.

    In different countries we use different spacing of lines in ruled, squared and dotted paper. Especially when designing worksheets to be printed it would be great to be able to specify the distance to e.g. 0.5 cm.

  2. I purchased a few sticker packs and noticed that when downloaded to Elements the stickers are randomly sorted which makes it impossible to find stickers by category. The app currently does not include functionality to sort these easily. However it would make more sense that these were downloaded in the order of category of the sticker pack.

  3. To make space for the microphone/recording icon (perhaps for the sake of symmetry) the bookmark icon was removed. There is now no visual feedback of for a page being bookmarked.

    One on hand, I use this feature with my planner to add the current week to favorites for a quick retrieval. On the other hand I will never use the recording feature.
    My dismay at this new development is self evident and so is my wish for a future positive resolution for my quandry.

  6. ‘Speak (reading text)’ function should give more option of voices. The voice that Goodnotes uses now is so robotic. Feel hard to listen

  7. It would be helpful to edit the line width of a lined paper, or make some dotted lines and others dashed. Could also incorporate checkboxes and other areas on the paper that are customizable to each user. This would be helpful to have a basic template that can be editale for each user to their liking (ie: I like my lined paper to be wide ruled but also reach the full length of the paper from left to right)

  8. The current edition contains the folders in a very bland way without any typical sorting arrangement available. It would be better if the sorting options for folders was made a little different for a better looking and pleasing user interactive interface on the home page

  9. The default landscape photo size is such that I can't quite fit two across the width of a 8.5" x 11" sheet. It would be helpful if they were inserted a bit smaller so two would readily fit side by side.

  10. I used to be able to drag and drop PDFS from my MacBook to the Mac Goodnotes app on my laptop. I can no longer do this, which is really limiting my flexibility with the app. What has changed? I may need to shop for a different app, but I love Goodnotes otherwise.

    I also used to be able to click the share icon on any document, image, or PDF and open it directly in Goodnotes. Now my only option is to send it to my Files app on my iPad and then I have to import it from there.…

  11. I use separate notes to minute meetings and would like to be able to list specific tasks as well as general points, and then I want to generate a separate master list of all the tasks from the specific notes.

  12. Aktuell muss man bei der neuen Version wieder ganz zurück an Anfang. Ich vermisse, wenn ich eine Ordner öffne die Möglichkeit nur wieder zurück in den Ordner klicken zu können. Aktuell kann man nur auf das „Home“ Icon drücken und dann landet man wieder ganz am Anfang. Ich will mich aber in einem geöffneten „Unterordner“ wieder zurück bewegen können ohne dass ich dafür zurück in die Gesamtübersicht (Dokumente) muss und dann wieder einzelne Ordner öffnen muss um zurück zu dem bestimmten „Unterordner zu kommen zu dem ich eigentlich nur will.
    Früher gab es die Möglichkeit einfach nur einmal zurück zu…

  17. I am joining the many who have requested a sticky note feature, hoping that GoodNotes will consider this request.

    I love how Goodnotes handles notebooks and flashcards so well, and I would like to be able to write sticky notes in GoodNotes. The template would be a stack of sticky notes that users "peel off" and place on other documents. Apple has something like this for their computers.

    There could be a "bulletin board" where sticky notes could be placed if they aren't being placed on other documents. The board could work like notebook paper, and users would need to…

  20. Goodnotes lacks granular cloud backup options, limiting users' control over their data.

    Solution:

    Implement granular backup options to allow users to:

    Choose specific folders and files for backup
    Choose where the specific folders are stored withing the cloud
    Define individual backup schedules
    Exclude folders and files from backup
