  1. Hello! As I use GoodNotes more and more to take notes and adnotate documents, I get a large volume of folders and notebooks that are a bit difficult to navigate through.

    It would be great to be able to archive old items, so that they do not show up in the document browser and they are compressed or even stored in the cloud only, so that they do not take up additional space.

  2. The ability to close the current flashcard while studying it if a modification or edit needs to be made then jump back into study mode. Currently one has to close the study session and search through potentially hundreds of cards to find the one that needs to be edited then start a new session.

  3. Move the 'move left, right and enter' buttons to the left as the function encourages writers to write only on the left side of the page. This would make it more convenient

  4. It would be great that you can extend your display with an external monitor, besides the already existing mirroring option. So that you can view good notes documents, while working on another on the ipad.

    (great for the smaller ipads)

  5. Dear GoodNotes Team,

    Since the update on the shape feature I have had some problems drawing arrows by hand. I am able to draw the lines but the arrow tops: “>” always look weird.
    Before the update I had no trouble drawing arrows correctly.
    I would really appreciate you taking this into consideration.

  6. First , I chooses GoodNotes but when i when I know the two things about Noteshelf is that-
    1) we can recor d and also import voice record from file and also we can manage on page where we need .
    2) and also individual file lock
    Really this attract me and I switched on Noteshelf..

    If GoodNotes also add this feature in his app then it will be great.

    Please review this feature, I also attached this in comments
    Please find it

  7. I love GN5, however, I can't use it as much as I would like to since for my classes I annotate the PDF lecture slides and need more space than the PDF slide themselves. Therefore, I have to use OneNote which allows me to insert a printout of the PDF and I can write on both the slides and have notes specific to the slide on the side. I would love to be able to have this in GN since GN5 has so many more features I prefer to OneNote.

  9. A “stamp tool”:
    This would allow users to natively create stamps of their own design using existing GoodNotes tools like shapes AND/OR import photos or shapes that can be added to an internal library of shapes to be used over and over. See below for functionality.

    User draws or writes something.
    User selects the object with stamp tool.
    The stamp tool saves the object into “library or repository of object.”
    User can “stamp” the object repeatedly.

    This is like the objects library in illustrator. You could have an “object selector tool” to select the items that go into the library.…

  11. It has been long time since GoodNotes announced on Twitter that they are planning to bring the app on different platforms but there is no app for Windows and android after years.

    If you can’t sync to Windows and android using iCloud please use Google Drive or any other third-party cloud service and please bring app to Windows, android and Web. Microsoft has already achieved this way earlier and should not be difficult for you as well.

    Every time I brought up this issue, you guys give same reason that you are looking for good engineers, is it the case…

  12. Offer an integrated option that can allow users to create or edit templates. It could be a desktop-version or a webapp or whatever, but it is so frustrating that I can't simply create my own darkmode templates from the whitepaper templates. I would love to have a customizable template feature as well, perhaps mod some aspects of a page or have a selector of template variants.

  15. It would be great if there were more stickers for note-taking. I'm thinking like a ! and ?. And also like the word IMPORTANT. Just more note-taking sticker options

  16. When you open a pdf or a slide that has been imported have it gray out/highlight places where it thinks would be a good idea to highlight. Would be great for people that are not good at taking notes

  17. When inserting screenshots in the flashcards function, they are blurred when queried, making it difficult to read. It would be great if this could be improved e.g. if the flashcards are displayed over the whole screen.

  19. Writing near the bottom edge of the page is very uncomfortable. Please allow us to move the page without it snapping back so we can keep the writing area on the most comfortable part of the screen.

  20. Please consider the ability to add a new page to the right and/or left (horizontally positioned) to my current page. It would allow for adding quick notes (or long notes) without having to add an unnecessary full (vertical) page which I don’t need, or reposition my current text and pages to make room for said notes. Otherwise, loving Goodnotes 5. Thank you for considering!
