  1. The hover feature is a distinguishing feature of Apple Pencil 2 & Pro. It’s great that Goodnotes utilizes hover within the main writing space — BUT, when using the zoom box option, hover disappears. Hover is a necessity for me, making the zoom box a non-option as of right now.

  2. Hey there,

    we use GOODNOTES at our school on a daily basis and I think it would be a great idea to manage the import of documents like PDFs. For example: if I want to open a PDF in OneDrive and share it in order to open it into another App like Goodnotes, I can only choose to import it into the current document or open a new document. It would be a great idea to be able to choose the document and maybe have it saved to multiple documents at the same time.

    Kind regards

  3. With the new squeeze function on Apple Pencil Pro, and how it brings up the new menu (Palette), it would be super cool to have this menu show up if you hold an older Apple Pencil down for a couple seconds. (Element note has this feature as well) but it would be super awesome to have for faster tool switching for people that aren’t on the newest iPads.

    TLDR bring the new squeeze menu to the rest of the pencils by holding down on the screen without moving your pen.

  4. Two dots on the dotted paper templates are a little over 1.1 cm apart on the ruler. It would be great for drawing graphs if they are 1 cm apart, so the templates fit the ruler. The same issue applies to the squared paper.

  5. Your app's seamless integration of voice recordings and ball pen scribblings is impressive. Adding laser brush pointer integration to recordings would further enhance presentations, making them more dynamic. So that we can replay the recorder and see the laser brush pointer run along with the pre written text & the voice recording.

  6. hi, i'm from brasil, and i have an android, I think would be nice if you guys put the option for wrinting with the keyboard, not the text box, because i can't make the words parallel with the dotted lines, and i would also like a larger dotted line option. thanks, keep the good work! kkkkkkkk

  9. I filed the documents very well classified (1;1.1;1.2 etc.) by downloading to keep a copy in my laptop, the file changes name with a name style: asdfl93kfh124fsdaf.

  12. When I write my notes, I want to select for example a written action item and paste it with a link to the original note in my to-do list. When I then work from my to-do list, I want to simply click on the action item to take me back to the note and page where it originated.

    Many thanks!

  13. When scanning, each scanned document is converted to the US Letter format. This means an originally A4-sized sheet is shrunk and gains borders. This is problematic because I am a geometry teacher, and when a student draws a line of, for example, 7 cm on their A4 sheet, the internal Goodnotes ruler only reads 6.3 cm. This is inconvenient. I would like to be able to set the format to A4 during scanning so that all real lengths can be accurately measured by the Goodnotes ruler.

  15. It would be great if the spell check feature could be expanded to identify when letters or numbers are written backwards. This would be very helpful for kids and students, especially those with dyslexia.

  17. Hi Goodnotes Team,

    As an architect, I take a lot of measurements on construction sites with GoodNotes and my iPad.
    I take a lot of photos for the measurements, which I then label with GoodNotes.
    Unfortunately, I have to reset the desired camera settings for each photo, e.g. flash on or zoom setting of the camera.
    It would be nice if there was an option to save the last camera settings.
    Greetings Tobi

  19. Dear GoodNotes Team,

    Hello, my name is Tami, and I have been using GoodNotes since its initial release. I believe you must have tried the app CollaNote at some point.

    Today, I have a request. In the CollaNote app, when you write, it automatically adjusts the shape of the letters to keep them from looking uneven, almost like a magnetic effect. As a left-handed person with tremors, I often struggle with keeping my writing neat.

    I would greatly appreciate it if GoodNotes could add a similar feature that automatically adjusts the shape of letters in your next update. This feature…

  20. I would be happy to purchase more allocated disk space! I use Goodnotes for my planner and I can't delete anything. I would pay $100 a year for satisfactory disk space.
