  2. I don’t need you to tell me I’ve pasted a page successfully. I’m not blind. Just let me do whatever I need to do and don’t force me to stare at that stupid check mark for 2 seconds every single time.

  3. Goodnotes is great. With the flash card option it is even greater and holds the potential to compete with Anki, the best-known provider for the creation of flash cards for effective and sustainable learning, since a lot of students like to write by hand which is not possible with Anki. Especially since the Anki app for tablets is available for the great expense of € 27.99. Goodnotes could attract a lot of customers with an expansion of the feature.

    At the moment, however, studying with more detailed flash cards on good notes is very exhausting as the content is displayed…

  4. Sometimes when you use the same hexcode the colours between the pen and highlighter don't match, I then end up messing around with colours until the match better, would love if the highlighter matched more :)

  5. Please bring back the DOUBLE LINE SPACING option from GoodNotes 4. Or an adjustable option that varies with the TYPE size entered. The default lines are TOO thin for proper writing for some of us.

  6. I want a ruler that moves on GoodNotes according to the magnification of the note. Sometimes I want to draw a line that is accurately lengthed in your notebook. I also want a function that allows me to draw a circle centered on a certain point.

  8. This is very annoying when reading over the stuff you wrote. My Apple Pencil is somehow very sensitive when it covers to double tap gestures, so this is a must have.

  9. I want to start by stating that I absolutely love GoodNotes.

    However, as a Student, I am not able to purchase the largest capacity storage version for the iPad (as I am sure many students can agree).

    With the file size of the data getting so large, it can quickly eat up so much space, (even on the brand new iPad Air 5th gen).

    Is there any possible way to reduce file size and still be able to edit the notebooks or notes. This would be perfect!

  10. We need faster accelerated scrolling like Apple Notes, Margin Note or even the default PDF viewer app in the Files app. The scrolling speed of files in GoodNotes feels like my pages are stuck in mud, requiring me to use multiple long swipe gestures across the iPad to scroll down/up faster and reach my desired location. I noticed that multiple swipes also doesn't 'accelerate' the speed, which isn't an issue on other apps that I mentioned above or Apple native apps like Notes and Safari. Please implement this. Thanks.

  11. I use a standard folder format in Goodnotes. I have to create this every time. I would like to see the feature added to a complete folder, including child supmaps and any documents in these folders.

  12. It would be perfect if you added another type of pen, mimicking colour pencils. That would be a great addition, since all we have now is either a transparent highlighter or a solid marker. It should be precise, pressure sensitive, and angle of the apple pencil sensitive.

  13. It would be really helpfull and way easier to be able to import colors for pens and highlighters instead having to type in every hex code! An eye dropper tool would be really nice too so that you can easily change colours :)

  14. There should be a way to edit pdfs or books in full screen mode. Just basic editing capability is needed for eg. a single pen or highlighter option should be there so that we can underline, mark or write something while reading in full screen just like we do for any hardcopy. Reading on full screen mode, the experience is on another level and if basic editing capability is added it will be just perfect( cherry on top of cake).

  15. Hi! I’m in medical field, constantly studying and reading PDF files along side-taking notes, so I use the iPad split screen feature everyday.

    Whenever I use the split-screen feature, I cannot easily access the colors of my pens unlike if I were in the 2/3th split view or full screen view of the Goodnotes App. oI have to click the upper right portion to change the characteristics of my pens which would waste a lot of my time since I take a lot of color-filled notes.

    My go-to PDF reader application, “Documents: allows me to set specific pen characteristics in…

  16. Currently the only login option is Login with Apple, which many users can’t access. A simple email login and/or Login with Google would be great.

  19. When I search up text, striked out words still appear in the results. When I strike out text I tend to not use them or want to see them. I also posted an idea erase pdf notes which would also solve this problem.

  20. The Eraser Tool is used to erase only pen & highlighter strokes. There should be a separate option for allowing us to erase PDFs or slides when importing something like lecture notes that may have some unnecessary notes or writing.
