  1. When I read, the large amount of text on the page made it inconvenient for me to add annotations and notes, especially when I needed to quote passages from other works and had no space. Adding blank pages at the bottom of the page makes turning pages difficult and text cannot be joined.
    If a new feature could be added to add blank pages to the left and right of the page, capped at two pages, that would work even better and I would not want to use another note taking app.

  2. It would be helpful to add (duplicate) the pen tools to the Zoom bar and provide the ability to have some preset favorites. This would increase efficiency and user experience when using the Zoom function.

  3. As an engineering student, I often find myself shuffling through old notes to find a quick summary of a topic or a concept that I use in other problems. This becomes quite tedious, as I tend to copy-paste what I wrote into the new notebook where I reference this note. I think that it would be nice to work in a virtual window that shows a cutout of the older notebook which has the notes that are relevant written down, and i can resize said window to fit in the newer notebook. As far as I understand, this would also…

  4. The MagicKeyboard works really badly on GN. Sometimes you can't scroll back and forth on the trackpad at all or it just jumps back and forth.
    As soon as you open a second window, you sometimes can't write at all and have to close the app completely so that it doesn't work again after 2 minutes.
    You should also be able to write on the line and not always in between.

  5. please allow us to customize the folders to allow for more organization! it can be very confusing at times to have each folder being the same color. also, colored papers for notebooks! this would make note taking more customizable and fun.

  7. After you write something, you can adjust its thickness like you can change the colour.
    An eyedropper option would also be great.

  8. Being able to select the option on a folder to ‘study all flashcards in folder’ so combine all the flashcards in all the notebooks in the folder.

    Also, make it less easy to tap out of learning flashcards and losing progress.

  9. Une autre option pour les sonneries gratuites https://sonnerietelephone.com/ est l'application de notification Sounds. L'application comprend des sonneries gratuites dans divers genres, tels que la maison et la techno. Beaucoup de sonneries gratuites disponibles ont des emojis que vous pouvez également utiliser sur votre téléphone. Certaines applications offrent même des sons de vacances différents. Une fois que vous avez téléchargé une sonnerie, vous pouvez la partager avec vos amis à l'aide de réseaux sociaux. La plupart des modèles d'iPhone sont compatibles avec les sonneries.

    Bien que le choix d'une application de sonnerie gratuite ne soit pas un processus difficile, il nécessite…

  10. I would like the native attachment retained so that an attachment dragged onto a GoodNotes page can be dragged off and back to original. I currently see a transformation that prevents the drag off. This improvement would increase the versatility of GoodNotes.

  11. I would like a folder navigation option that would display the folder structure and allow for quick navigation like is in Outline or OneNote. The folder structure is good but unless I have preset favorites, navigation is very tedious.

  12. Please allow tabs to have their own settings, colour, pen, pen on/off, etc so we don’t have to change settings every time I flip between tabs. Thanks

  13. Much like words or google docs, when you select text type to Heading 1,2,3. Outlines will automatically add the Heading to Outline page(like in the picture).

    This would be version useful and saves times when taking notes. still keep the "Add to Outline" button.

  14. Hey, disabledish person here! I have very mild dystonia which makes my arms tense. Writing on paper is more painful than on my iPad. I have very mild OCD & my handwriting is very unstable. I can’t handle writing a letter without redoing it at least once. I hope that a better pen is released before the next school year starts. Thank you for even reading this!

  15. Being able to save more than one text style is necessary for Titles and Headers while taking notes. One more reason I have had to switch to notability. They allow three saved text favorites with font, color, and size.

  16. I’m aware GoodNotes was not designed for a text-to-speech app, but I really need it to have the ability to read text out loud during my studies. You already have OCR recognition and the iOS already contains spoken content functionality with a speech controller, so I think it just lands itself to enable it in GoodNotes too, right? It would really be so helpful if I didn’t have to use 10 different applications during my study sessions, if most small things could be done from GoodNotes that would truly be awesome. Much obliged guys

  17. Auto-capitalisation works well in general but within GoodNotes it doesn’t, because every time the enter is pressed, it capitalises the next word. However, pressing the enter doesn’t mean new line here, because the text box is a layered feature, pasted on top of things, it’s not necessarily a margin to margin left to right typing tool. As a result, I’m now having to disable it because it is very annoying in the text box, simply because there is no feature or settings available to do that in GoodNotes text box.

  18. Exported out a file to resize pages but when imported back, GN remembered the marked pages with page numbers under outlines, but didn’t keep the page titles under thumbnails. Had to do 500 pages all over again.

  20. If pages are all the same size in a document and are smaller than A5, GN does not allow to further zoom out, i.e. keeps pages maximised on fit to screen. Can we please not have this? I’m now forced to add a page larger than the others to my documents just so that it is not always fit to screen. It’s disturbing to me as it really bugs my OCD.
