  1. One of the biggest drawbacks of the app is that my notebooks and folders are only able to be sorted alphabetically, by type, or by when I used them. This makes for a very unintuitive interface, as the order of documents often makes no sense. I think it would be relatively easy to add the option to just drag and drop folders/notebooks the way you would move apps on a home screen.

  2. Could you guys make it a sort of greyscale effect when given the Night Mode option. Auto Converts any uploaded pdf into dark mode when using in the app, and converts black to white and vice versa. This would be especially useful when revising at night in a medium lit environment. I gave a little idea in the picture. Hopefully would give some idea.

  3. Add a button in the Bar at the top, similar to the pen layout. There is tons of empty space and the only button gives a short explanation on how to use it. There could easily be a button to convert to text, math, copy, paste, etc. Instead you have to click through the menu that pops up by holding with your finger, requiring you to drop the pen etc. This would improve workflow and is an easy implementation. Seems like forgoten feature.

  4. I would love if there was an option, when importing a PDF, to import it with a standardized and beautiful style, with text formatting, spacing, etc., sort of like Omnivore or Kindle. It would make reading PDFs on GoodNotes so much nicer of an experience. You could go even further and have options to increase text, change the color background, etc., like you can on the Kindle app.

  6. Now that the customizable taskbar update has been released, it would be useful to have the ability to resize/adjust the length of the taskbar sections left and right in order to make room for more or less tools and colors. That way instead of having a user scroll through a bunch of colors, they can just adjust the section bar to the left to reveal more of their color palette.
    [Similarly to how Window PC taskbars have the “bars” that adjust icons left and right.]

    It would also be great to have an option to lock the adjustments as well.

  7. I am using the notecards feature to study a different language. There are (4) features that would help me greatly. 1 - having multi-language support. 2 - being able to search my notecards (couldn't figure this out on Mac but needed to correct a word that I'd misspelled). 3 - In setting up my notecards, it would have been great to have a side by side option where I could look at my old notes while creating new (I eventually just opened two windows). 4 - Reverse test. It's great to know the words from one language to the other…

  9. As someone who relies on color coding for studying and uses GoodNotes on multiple devices, it‘s incredibly annoying to manage the colors for the pencil and highlighters on each and every device, as these things aren‘t synched with the cloud.

    A solution would be synching the tools or maybe accounts where you can create a custom set ups of tools and colors to use

  11. I have both Goodnotes and notability — I love the pencil feature on notability but I wish we had it on Goodnotes. It gives my documents more of a real feeling and makes my handwriting look nice.

  13. When arranging objects I would like to be able to send back and forward some items between items. If I have more than two overlapping objects, it’s a pain to place objects in the order I want. For example, there are apps the send the object completely to the back or front, but I can also send forward or backwards the object not entirely to the back. I don’t want to send back an object but then have to send front the other and the other to have them in the correct arrangement. This happens when working a collage or…

  14. We want REAL RTL.
    The editor support RTL alignment but we cant really use it as it supposed to be.
    In Word, we have this extra icon for making the app understand we right on RTL language and not only english text from right to left.
    Please let us use bullets and numbered lists :)

  15. I'd love to pause the recording and resume without creating multiple recording files in my notebook. The functionality to edit recordings would be great as well.

  16. I wish you can develop a page that users can choose and design the theme that the users like, not based on their iOS appearance. Hope you allow the users to create their own themes.

  17. I love that we can change the colour of files in GoodNotes 6 now, but I really want more options!! Have a file “preset” and add your own button would be great to make it customizable. Make it the same as adding new pen colours, with a button to open up more preset collections.

  19. This would be super useful instead of having to copy hex codes all the time in order to be able to use the same highlighter color on different devices .

  20. Please add an option to remove the dashed underline that appears when creating hyperlinks. This feature does not appear professional once exported and shared.
