  1. As a high school teacher, it is important for us to let panel head acknowledge and check our markings on students' works. Also, collaborative work could not be done because each goodnotes classroom folder could not invite other teachers to edit or view content. This highly increases the inconvenience and decreases the possibility in transferring files to the other teachers concerned.

  2. Especially the highlighter - this is a standard Powerpoint document exported as a PDF and this is the largest highlighter size! It barely covers the title! Honestly having the maximum being absolutely huge would also be helpful if we may like to shade a whole background with a highlighter colour. Currently to get bigger highlighter regions I make a small rectangle with the highlighter and then select it as an object and enlarge it - I also wish we could adjust the width and height differently in that selection mode!

  5. I purchased a notebook that already has hyperlinks, but there are permanent edits I want to do to a couple pages. Which was require the merge layer function like in procreate. I would just take the page and edit in procreate as I have the app but then I would have to add all the hyperlinks back into the page or through out the whole notebook. That is too time consuming. So I would be nice to merge layers I create down to the notebook page so it’s a permanent part of the page. Same thing would be helpful if…

  6. A update for audio transcript for the 9th gen iPad should be made as other note taking apps allow you to do audio transcription on almost relatively new generations of iPads. No reason to pay for goodnotes and while only certain feature are only available to people who have certain iPads.

  7. Hello I really enjoy studyset feature.
    My only complaint is that the card is too small even in the landscape mode in ipad mini/pro.
    Could we make the interface like the one in the second screenshot?
    Also, it would be amazing if we can do pinch zoom in the studyset cards.

  8. When you answer math problems you always need double lines under the answer (at least in Norway), so in addition to dotted lines etc. add double lines as its own, if you try to make to automatic straight lines close to each other they just pull into each other and become one line instead of two

  10. If linked to the outline, the pages linked will guide me to the content I linked.
    Example for current situation:
    If I add one page before the content I wish to link on Document A, the current linked page will move to the next page from page 7 to page 8. And when I click on the link on Document B, it will still guide me to Document A, page 7. But the actual content has already moved to page 8 cause of adding a page.

  12. I like to use black background with white ink as primary ink (I believe it is good for my oled pixels).
    I like to use other colour inks here and there for emphasis.
    I would love a feature that turns things as follows

    Black background——————> White background
    White ink —————————> Black ink
    Other colour ink. ——————-> no change

    Because that would be the most ideal way to print something
    (Of course I can do these with existing features, but it will take a lot of time depending on amount of notes I make)

    Also when you remove tape it removes anything written over it as well :)

  14. The flashcard function could use a lot of improvement. First I copied text from my course notes but then wasn't able to even bold or underline text. I also couldn't use my pen to highlight it. Now the text is all just a blob of words instead of allowing me to indicate important words. Also being able to go back and forth between flashcards and not have to go to the outline every time would be helpful.

  15. I would like to be able to Search my document for a word.
    Then I would like to be able to click a button and have ALL these instances be HIGHLIGHTED with the HIGHLIGHT tool with one click.

    Is is possible?
    Perhaps I've missed something.

  17. When you touch the created shape to edit it and move the vertices, one of the edges may accidentally stay in its place and separate from the vertex. I have not noticed any patterns for this bug to occur, so it is unlikely that this is some kind of intentionally added feature. There is a video showing the bug in the attachments.

  18. I like to import my professors notes and write alongside them during lectures. I would love to be able to use the audio recording feature and laser pointer together so that i can follow along with the laser in the recording when reviewing notes. I want to be able to circle things or underline them during class so i can see the the prof is referring to in the recordings.

  19. It would come in handy to have an option for marking items in the library (folders, books, notes,…) by a simple checkbox or different colored backgrounds so that one could see immediately if a document was read and finished already.
