  1. Fix the typing feature as well (the one with the keyboard). In this conditions its a real struggle to write on a tablet (which obviously should be easier) than to write on a paper. Just fix all the bug issues .

  2. Just like how it is done for images, which, when selected, if pressed longer can be duplicated, for the pen. It already does the "effect" of duplicating it with a grayer color, but when you release it it vanishes. It would be great and a lot faster than copy-pasting. Thanks

  3. just as we can “play recording” from the contextual menu for handwritten notes; it would be highly beneficial to have the same in typing mode

  4. It is almost impossible to resize images to a desired shape when it just shrink from center point. please, if you don't want to change 1 button resize, at least make its pivot top left corner so we can adjust our images neatly.

    This thing makes me crazy, i have 10 screenshots on a page from iPhone which i must resize and every image is different in size.

  6. Return, please!! the removed functionality to insert PDF snippets in PDF format !! on Mac.

    Before I could insert snippets from PDF documents without them being converted to a low resolution image format. Just rectangle selection in the Preview app, and paste in the GoodNotes, without the text being distorted and in Vector PDF format.

    Now, the snippets are being converted to low res images and all the text and quality is distorted.

    Please, change it back or add such an option.

    That was the best feature in GoodNotes for me.

  7. I really like Goodnotes as a tool - it is visual supporting and not loaded with too many options. But, I barely use Good Notes. It is so inconvenient to write and organize a notebook, because the pages are not automatically included while writing or pasting a text. Instead, I have to add intentionally a new page - otherwise the text continues to be written on the same page … hidden. Organizing a note book with ideas and content becomes so inconvenient and annoying, that I often use to start with Goodnotes, but switch to another alternative when (again) encountering…

  8. 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.

  12. Currently, even though only PNG and JPEG seem to be officially supported, I can rename (not converting!) any BMP / WEBP image to ".png" and then I can paste the file into Goodnotes without any problems.

    If Goodnotes supported pasting these file formats without first renaming them to PNG, I would be a very happy person :)

  13. I want to be able to import a pdf and have the pdf pages appear as pages in the existing notebook, scaled to the size of the notebook pages. Also, the form fields in the imported pdfs appear blank when they shoulf be filled. This needs to be fixed.

  14. In the "Link settings > page" we have to select the page from thumbnails, this is nice but I wish to be able to add/edit page number also by keyboard. When the number of pages are large it is really time consumming to scroll and search for a page in the list.

  15. Goodnotes need to be little innovative to help manage time for its users. The readers must have the option to add timer per page. Once activated, the user should have the ability to hide or show the timer with one tap on top right corner of toolbar. This will ensure effective management of time to complete the required work.

    The doc timer tool can enhance effectiveness and therefore help boost confidence in their daily schedule.

    Once timer crosses scheduled limit,
    The user has to bear temporary consequences (any option as selected from following choices in setting)

  16. Please make the tape function that is already available for Notability users possible for Goodreads. As it is already implemented for the Notability users I don’t understand why Goodreads takes so long to make it happen.

  17. The audio recordings and their sync with the written notes is an amazing feature that I use daily.
    An improvement that could be made is adding the ability to change inputs to bluetooth devices for the audio recordings (like external microphones or bluetooth headsets) - This would be especially helpful for people who sit in the back of a lecture hall and would allow them to place a microphone at the front and record the lecture more clearly.

  18. I only use the large eraser when I want to quickly erase a large portion of the screen. It would be great if, after I do that and select another tool, the eraser size would return to a default (which, in my case, would be the small eraser). As things stand now, I never think to reset the size. So, the next time I double-tap my Apple pencil to engage the eraser, it's still on large and I end up erasing tons of stuff I don't want to (this requires me to undo those changes and then change the eraser…

  19. At the moment, the type on a full page option only has one default font; Helvetica. It would be extremely useful to have the option to change to multiple fonts and text colors.
