  1. This has been suggested by many users, including myself. Please add the ability to change the folder colors—it can’t be that hard to add. Please, it will also add to the organization. I’m begging you.

  2. I use GoodNotes a lot - school, journals with photos, etc. It would be helpful if GoodNotes has its own cloud storage so that it doesn’t have to take up a lot of space on the device (or at least make cloud storage plans an option). I hope this will be considered as it will be extremely helpful to still have an easy access to all our GoodNotes files without having to worry about the storage of our devices (especially for those with low internal storage since even having a large iCloud storage is useless in this matter). Thank you!!

  4. Hi.

    I am a user who is using Good Note with Galaxy Tab S7 Plus.

    1. Frame Drop
      Every time I turn the page, I keep seeing frame drop differently from other apps.
      (+ Zoom in, Zoom out)

    2. Laser pointer
      Unlike IOS, it is a pity that there is no laser pointer function.

    3. S pen
      Functionality (eraser) for the Spen button is not provided.
      (Samsung S Pen and LAMYS Pen)

    4. Dual Screen mode
      I hope the dual screen function that allows you to view multiple PDFs at once is supported.

    5. Voice file
      It's the same for IOS, but I'd like to…

  6. For example the option that recognizes what you are drawing for more complex forms like hexagons or hyperbolic function would probably help expecially for a more scientific use.

  8. When working with numerous graphs, it is challenging to achieve curves that accurately capture the trends of my data or functions. It would be beneficial to have more freedom in drawing curves. Adding additional points beyond the standard three would take the app to the next level

  9. It would be very helpful to see the size (in MB, GB, etc.) of each note/document/folder/notebook in GoodNotes. That way, we can see which files can be deleted to recover more space on our devices and on iCloud.

  10. Dear GoodNotes 5 Developers,

    I hope this email finds you well. I am reaching out as a long-term user and fan of GoodNotes 5 to share some suggestions for potential app improvements. I have been using GoodNotes for over a year now, and I believe implementing the following features would greatly enhance the overall user experience:

    Addition of Dotted or Dash Stroke Styles: It would be fantastic to have the option of using dotted or dashed strokes while writing or drawing. These stroke styles can be beneficial for creating charts, diagrams, or for emphasizing certain elements within our notes. I…

  11. I have one main issue that I encounter frequently when writing notes on my ipad. And thats when I run out of room to rest my palm when writing on the far right hand side of a page. My suggestion is to add the ability to scroll a bit past the page (say about a third) so that im able to properly write on the page without it auto aligning with the edge of the screen (I have included an example of what would be ideal). I personally use vertical scrolling and this idea would only work in this mode,…

  12. Its great that Goodnotes is using flash card and similar spaced repetition to ANKI. We need the ability to create and share flash cards between the windows PC and Ipad. So i can create flash cards on a windows pc and then sync to my ipad and vice versa.

  15. Currently, GoodNotes offers a few basic actions in Apple Shortcuts.
    I would love to see more advanced actions that allow users to customize their workflows to a greater extend.

    Here are some automations/workflows I could imagine:

    • Shortcut to open the notebook corresponding to the lecture your currently sitting in (by checking your current calendar events)
    • Every evening, automatically check whether I’ve written something to my diary today, if not, prompt me to do so and open the last page
    • Every evening, check which lecture notes were edited, then export them and share them with a friend who doesn’t use GoodNotes

  16. If I have a line at any arbitrary angle and wanted to draw another line at the same angle, it would be nice to have a feature that would give me the option. Similar to notability or PowerPoint, matching object dimensions, angles, or even centers of concentric circles would be amazing. As a physics student, I have to draw many diagrams and often times I will either have a terrible diagram because i know I won’t have time to make a nice drawing with matching dimensions or I miss crucial information while trying to get my lines to be the…

  18. I've been loving Goodnotes on my ipad, one of my favourites of all time. On my PC it's pretty useless for now tho. Knowing it's still in beta, I would like to put my request to prioritize developing writing tool in Windows version. Like on IOS devices you can click on text tool and start typing, I would love to see that feature available for desktop users. Anyways, love to see the app evolving.

  19. On iPadOS, one can zoom out beyond the margins of the given page while in landscape mode. However, the page remains centred and it is quite irking when I am trying to write something near the far right edge. This is exacerbated tenfold in portrait mode; you can’t really zoom out at all, making it incredibly frustrating when writing to the right edge.

    I don’t know why this wouldn’t already be the case, or why this shouldn’t be implemented, but we should be allowed to zoom in and out on our page in both landscape and portrait mode and it…
