  1. The ability to rearrange files in a folder the way you want by dragging them, different colors options for folders, a section in the app where you can actually create your own templates, the ability to import videos and watch video thumbnails on the app, movable transparent shortcut button on-screen to switch from pen to eraser, more options to import your own pen stroke style similar to procreate. If people can import their own templates for pages it would be awesome if they could do it for pens. And having the ability to edit your menu option would be awesome…

  2. Hi,

    So I haven't used the app consistently in about a year.. Recently I've began using it again. I've uploaded a text i'm studying in pdf form. While I am studying I am taking notes and I thought how nice it would be to include these features. The tinting would be nice for prolonged staring at the screen while reading (Similar to what I think kindle's used to do, maybe). I know I can have blank pages with yellow but, I would recommend adding the option of tinting documents such as my pdf with hundreds of pages with walls of…

  3. Have Libraries with Bookshelves to store the Notebooks

    what if goodnotes did not have FOLDERS but shelves and libraries. Example: i may have a "personal" library, a "work or professional" library, maybe one for my "clubs", and one for the uni or school.

    in the "school" library i may have a shelf for chemistry, one for biology, maths, languages etc. on the "language" shelf i might have notebooks for Eng, French, German, or Grammar, or Literature Autumn Semester 2021 etc...

  5. Why can't we just simply drag and move the open tabs around? It's very frustrating to have to close tabs and reopen them in order just to have them in the desired order. I believe it's a simple necessary feature to be able to drag those tabs around to be more organized!

  6. I mainly use this app for studying, so I would like to request there’s a view only option so I can review and study everything I wrote without accidentally editing anything.

  8. Please add the standard function of filling and signing PDF forms.

    Filling forms with text, not scribbling.

    Choosing options from a dropdown menu of a form.

    Signing PDF forms with legally binding signatures.

    Thank you!

  9. Undoing a written word or two is a monstrous pain under the double-two-finger-tap system. It might be 10 or 15 strokes that all need undoing, and pounding away on the ipad screen with a double-tap for each individual stroke takes way too long and is cumbersome.

    How about: double-tap and HOLD enters an "undo scrub" mode, where you can drag left and right to move through undo history with a simple two-finger swipe gesture, instead of dozens of fingertip-bruising taps? This would be a marvelous improvement to writing flow.

  10. If it was possible to import a document and then be scannable would be a godsend for those who need big chunks of text, are trying to look up words or are learning a language. Even those who need text to speech would be able to copy the scannable text and use it quickly.

  11. I want GoodNotes to adapt to iOS and iPad OS by pressing the long scroll bar. As shown in the photo. In other Apps, I can press the scroll bar for quick scroll, but it is invalid in GoodNotes!
    I'm quite surprised that this iOS system feature has been two years since iOS 13. GoodNotes is still not adapted, which has brought a lot of trouble to use. I hope it can be adapted as soon as possible, and the experience brought by a little improvement is huge! Thank you to GoodNotes team!
    希望GoodNotes适配iOS和iPad OS的长按滚动条进行滚动。如照片所示。在别的App中,我可以长按滚动条进行快速活动,而在GoodNotes中是无效的!我是挺惊讶的,这个iOS系统特性自iOS 13以来已经两年了,GoodNotes还是没有适配,给使用带来了不少麻烦。希望早日适配,一点点小改进带来的体验提升巨大!感激开发团队!

  12. This function should be optional for people to use. And those functions can define by self. It would makes people convenient to use those functions.

  18. Give the ability to create a blank page (pure white) using the current template size. Often, when importing slide decks into goodnotes, they have varying sizes and I'll have to go into MSPaint or something and create a blank slide template to import with the proper resolution size. So giving the ability to not only copy the current template but cover it with a white page would be awesome! Thanks

  20. The names on the tabs at the top of the screen are hard to read as the lettering is only a few shades darker than the color of the tab itself. It would be great if you could increase the contrast between those two colors or give users the option to change it. Thanks.
