  1. Good notes is one of the most frequently used app in my medicine department for taking notes etc. but tool bar on good notes is very large & space consuming , If good notes team make this tool bar smaller less space consuming it will improve writing experience and give more room for writing things

  2. Hello. In notability there is a feature that I miss in GoodNotes 5. In Notability after you wrote with Apple Pencil you can change the style, line width, line style and color. In GoodNotes you can only change the color. It would be important to be able to change the thickness and style of the line as well. Thanks.

  3. Often, I want to rotate an object but want to it stay the same size. It would be nice to lock the size when rotating. A similar function to lock rotation when resizing would also be very nice.

  5. As I work often with large PDF documents I miss a feature where I can only see the pages I made marks on to reread or print.
    Notability has such a feature, would be great if you could integrate that, can not always search hundrets of pages for markings.

    Read a few similar requests online.

    The feature sould be kind of „show only pages with marks on“ and so you dont see the hundrets of pages of a PDF but only the ones of the script where you made annotations on.

  6. There are times we need to move all of our notes from one page to another. There should be a keystroke (such as Cmd-A... Mac) to Select All data entered on a page so it can be quickly copied/pasted.

  7. Just like the title says. App should automatically capitalize first letter of each word of the outline just like it does for notebook names. Or at least there should be an option in settings.

  9. It would be nice to see what flashcards you have gotten right and which ones you have trouble with. Also being able to choose the specific notecards you want to study once you make a set. I love the flashcards on goodnotes but there is lots more that can be done.

  11. The addition of a tool to blur individual word or parts of images. To use for studying on it own or to create flashcards after using ‘take screenshot’. Ease of function similar to highlight tool

  12. Dear Ladies and Gentlemen!
    I would be happy if you could add more colours to the tool bar in order to switch between them faster.
    Is this feature already planned in your road map?

    Yours sincerely

  13. Please allow custom colour palettes for text. AND the ability to have mixed colours in a single text block. At the moment if you change the colour of part of a text block, the UI changes the WHOLE block.

  14. This has been asked time and time again. Seriously, why have you not added it yet? People have been asking for YEARS to have a pen stabiliser.

    Add pen stabilising settings to make your app actually useable.

    It’s especially hard for those with disabilities that affect their ability to write.

  15. I want to hide the status bar in iPadOS 15 for screen work space.
    In the previous iPadOS 14, I was able to hide the status bar, so I could use the screen space largely, but I can't hide it after I turned 15, so it's a little inconvenient.

  16. Goodnotes is great. With the flash card option it is even greater and holds the potential to compete with Anki, the best-known provider for the creation of flash cards for effective and sustainable learning, since a lot of students like to write by hand which is not possible with Anki. Especially since the Anki app for tablets is available for the great expense of € 27.99. Goodnotes could attract a lot of customers with an expansion of the feature.

    At the moment, however, studying with more detailed flash cards on good notes is very exhausting as the content is displayed…

  17. I use a lot of x-callback links, like a link to a DEVONthink document. The new linking feature assumes that it’s an HTTP link, and therefore puts in the HTTP in front of it, which doesn’t work for the x-callback types of links.

  18. Many people use good notes for planner or as a diary. It would be very helpful one could add a reminder entry or calendar entry during taking notes . For example just button that shows entry of reminder at that place. Also reminder app will have an entry so that it will notify you when needed. Perhaps as a separate purchase. Like pencil planner app in app store.

  19. I suggest a more customizable range of template colors, that can also be used to replace preexisting backgrounds on imported PDFs.
    I also think it would be a good idea to be able to customize the color theme of the entire app.
