  1. I want to be able to use GoodNotes to read PDFs on my Mac. However, it isn't easy to highlight when reading a PDF. Notability has an option where you can hold the selected sentence, and it will highlight it for you. I would love for an option like this to be added to GoodNotes. In addition, selecting texts in PDFs is challenging.

  2. In the experimental feature you can’t scroll through a view of the cards like you can with notebook and other cards making it hard to edit and use

  3. It would be great if there could be a template (like Cornell style) where you can put the term of the flashcard on the left, and the corresponding definition on the right. Then, this could be automatically converted into the flash card template. I love the flashcard template but copying and pasting each individual definition is quite tedious, and I think an automated conversion could be created to help with this. This would be especially useful for people who make hundreds of flashcards per subject to study.

  5. When taking photo, add the option to edit it at the time you took it and not after you press “use photo”.
    Also, make it possible to scan pictures just like you can do on phone,
    Add resize it not only in square shape.
    For ex. To be able do scan the board at class.

  6. 我用的是iPad版本的,当从其他网站导入good notes时的PDF就真的是PDF,一点没有适配我的iPad屏幕,不像其他软件例如 noteablity,或者Reader,从其他网页导入它们app时字体又大,宽距可以适应,直接就可以上手编辑了。我很喜欢用Good notes,可以让我一次性直接导入而不是用其他app吗?

  7. When you import a PDF, the page size often doesn't match with the rest of the document like Notability does. It'd be great to at least have an option to match the page size so a vertical scrollimg document looks like it fits in.

  10. First of all, thaks for making Goodnotes applicantion for Window and Androd.

    《And i'm not quiet good at English so i ask for your understanding. :( 》

    But there is some promblems in Andorid applicantion.

    First, i don't know why but GoodNotes sometimes can't distinguish S-pen between hand gesture. so sometimes i can't scroll the page

    Secound, might be my problem(using S7FE), app is running slowly. It takes too much time to bringing in document.

    I hope these things are fixed fast so i use GoodNote for mainly :D

    See you in Next Feedback or New version!!!

  12. One of my main uses for good notes is thinking. I like to draw or write ideas to get to conclusions quicker. The problem is that those pages doesn't have any use after I reached to the conclusion.

    I'd like to have a special Notebook for fleet notes that deletes pages that are inactive after certain amount of time. I truly enjoy writing in good notes more than any other writing app in iPad but I end up with big notebooks of useless information.

    With this auto-cleaned fleet notes notebook I would have always a go-to notebook that I can…

  13. I am left-handed and it is uncomfortable to begin writing at the edge of the page because the page edge is at the edge of the screen. The current workaround I have is inserting a pdf which allows this to some extent. I would like to be able to zoom out further so I can place the edge of the page in the middle of my iPad screen. This would allow my hand to rest on the flat surface of the iPad.

  15. When the page is magnified.If it is shown the percentage of the magnification done.As it is shown in Onenote.I think it could be of help to many while writing at a particular magnification for better fit and to make proper idea about the size of the pen to be used while writing at that particular page magnification.

  16. please add a feature to place the toolbar vertically on the Left/Right side of the screen. It's really useful as you don't have to move your hand way up or down to change tools or colours as well it allows larger space for writing.
    Similar features are available in notability and apple notebook 👇👇

  18. This would be a lasso feature similar to what already exists but upon selecting something, the selection is immediately copied and the next tap pastes at the tap location. This feature exists in the current lasso feature, but the suggested idea would save time.

  20. I write with my palm resting on the right side of my iPad, but when a line I've written reaches the right side, I am suddenly writing with my palm on the table. I'd like an option that supports moving the page off-center to the left and having it stay there, so I can continue writing without shifting my hand.

    For comparison to another drawing/writing app, Procreate canvases let you do this.
