  1. I would like to see GoodNotes be able to import documents in chronological order. Currently, when I import a document and I want to add multiple pages at once to this same document, but they have a specific order they have to be in, GoodNotes will import them randomly. So, one of two things will need to happen: 1.) I have to import each page in the order needed—one by one. 2.) I will have to import them all at once and then go to the side-window page view and re-organize them there. Both of which are pretty tedious when…

  2. Allow word wrapped outlines for long titles of various sorts.. Currently, outline titles, document titles, etc., are cut off when they are too long.

    What is the point of having a long title is you can't read it?

  3. add multiple hex codes at once instead of having to manually add them one by one. There should be a feature where we can upload a hex code pack and get all colors at once!

  4. It is surprising me how could you excluded the language ‘Malayalam’ from Goodnotes. I would like to continue with Goodnotes as well as iOS. I think this simple change will help you grow potentially. Until I can write the language with handwriting recognition I will not go for an apple product further. I use Samsung tablet, android provides greater options to use the language ‘Malayalam’.

  5. I would like to suggest integrating GitHub accounts with GoodNotes to enable synchronization between a specific repository and a designated GoodNotes directory (or a virtual directory mimicking the repository). This feature would use the GitHub API to periodically push and pull data, allowing for backup creation and facilitating tracking edits and collaboration. Considering its intended use in university settings, if the API costs become a concern, offering this functionality as part of the GitHub Student Developer Pack could be an option. I appreciate your consideration of this suggestion. Thanks.

  10. 선을 그렸을때 거울처럼 반전모드가 있었으면 좋겠고
    사진도 반전기능 필요

    선을 그렸을때 그려진 선을 여러게 선택해 묶음과 해지기능 필요

    버그문제 - 선으로 대각으로 ㄱ자를 생성하면 그안에 작은 선을 넣으면 올가미로 선택시

  11. Proposal for GoodNotes: Automatic Math Tool Insertion

    Feature: Automatically insert math tools (formulas, diagrams, graphs) based on handwriting or user input.

    Key Functions:
    1. Math Expression Recognition:
    • OCR (Handwriting recognition): Automatically detects math formulas (e.g., ) and converts them into standard math notation.
    • Symbols and Special Characters: Recognizes math symbols (e.g., roots, fractions, Greek letters) and formats them correctly.
    2. Math Tools Insertion:
    • Formula Editor: Allows users to insert and edit complex math formulas.
    • Graphs & Diagrams: Automatically generates graphs (e.g., for ) and inserts them into notes.
    • Geometric Shapes: Quick insertion of geometric shapes…

  12. Long Press on the „Share Button“ to send documents as a Goodnotes Document via Airdrop. Very useful for school.

  13. why does it take like 3 minutes to load every time i open the app? and worse, you set the loading spinner to automatically be at 90%, so people thinks it's actually going to finish in a reasonable time and don't leave the app. ok actually. i'm deleting your app. this is ridiculous.

    • Presets of tool combinations: Allow users to save and access frequently used combinations of tool settings directly from the toolbar.

    • Example 1: A preset for creating diagrams could include a dashed line, red color, 5pt thickness, and the ruler tool enabled.

    • Example 2: A preset for annotating text could include a yellow highlighter with 50% opacity and a black pen set to 2pt thickness.

    • Time-saving feature: Eliminates the need to manually reconfigure tools each time, streamlining workflows!!!!

    • Enhanced usability: Tailor tool combinations for specific tasks and access them quickly with a single click.

    (My problem: I have three pen sizes…

  14. I really hope it will be possible to use 'Draw and Hold' feature when using 'Tape tool'.

    You know, 'Draw and Hold' means, it allows the pen tool to draw any shapes by holding stylus at the end of a stroke.

    In Goodnotes, we can already use this function when using 'pen tool' or else, except 'Tape tool'.

    When using Tape tool, we can just draw a line and cannot draw any shapes by holding stylus at the end of a stroke..

    I added some picture that can explain what I said. These are pictures that I took when using…

  15. This has been posted several times but no update from the devs about it. I NEED to be able to rotate without changing the size of a selection. This severely reduces the usability for me I know it can’t be difficult to add a lock on the size!

  17. When I go to export a document from Goodnotes 6, the program (IOS) gives me several default persons to email my document to. None of them are the one I want to send the document to. How can I make my own default person(s) to send my exported document to?

  18. Da wir ganz viele externe Anbieter in GoodNotes integrieren, wäre es dringend nötig, diese Links mit unseren Schülern zu teilen.
    Es fehlt die Möglichkeit den Schülern ein Textfeld oder den Link über z.B. AirDrop zu schicken.
    Sehr gut wäre auch ein QR Code Leser, um in GoodNotes QR Codes direkt aus einem Bild zu öffnen.
