  1. When I turn handwriting into text my #1 goal is to edit. This (apparently) has to be done using a finger tap, so ok, I'll work with that. I don't want to see a giant menu right away, which is what it does now, I instead want the insertion cursor to appear where I tap the text. (I'd use a tap and hold to bring up the menu.) I also don't want the regular virtual keyboard to appear and cover the text I just tapped, the text should remain visible :)

  2. Widget where you can write a quick to do list!

    And an app to (at least) consult you notes in Google Pixel.

    Loving all GoodNotes experience!

  3. When adding a link to a page in the existing document, the option to choose from outline and page number should appear instead of taking to the first page’s thumbnail of the document.

  5. GoodNotes is truly an excellent app. I use it every day.

    However, I am facing the following issue:

    Issue

    When creating a new note via double tap, the language setting configured in the settings screen is not applied.

    Details

    • I want to create notes with the Japanese language setting, but when I create a new note using the double-tap feature from the new note creation screen, the language is set to US by default.
    • As a result, handwritten note titles are not recognized correctly, forcing me to manually edit the title using the keyboard every time.
    • My workflow involves creating…

  7. The pencil is transparent and lacks boldness and clarity. When zooming out the strokes can appear fragmented, which diminishes the overall visual quality of the notes. Add some adjustable opacity settings to offer a more defined stroke.

  9. Set an entrance supporting users to import study set in batches instead of writing one by one by themselves, like using .csv or .txt documents. This helps a lot for those who use study set as a word reciting helper.

  11. As a student, I often have my uni books in epub format and it would be great to have the possibility to modify/annotate them as we alreadu can with pdf. I know you can convert EPUb to PDF easily, but it doesnt always come out right, so EPUB support would be easier and more comfortable

  12. The full page typing version doesn’t have many fonts, just the headings. I would like it if you could make it possible to use system and imported fonts to be usable in iOS version. Not sure if android does this already. The in page typing version lets you use different ported fonts but not the basic full page typing. First photo is the normal in lined typing mode. And the second is the writing mode that supports other fonts.

  14. I use Windows at work and iOS at home. I would like Goodnotes to sync between both devices WITH the ability to PASSWORD protect personal files independently from work files. Similarly to how GOogle drive has My Drive and Shared Drive. that way I can keep work separate from Personal

  15. Can the edit feature for the elements have the same mechanics as when we move notepads/files?

    Currently we get a teeny-tiny screen, and have to drag stickers individually, and click "done". This makes it really frustrating and time consuming to organize stickers, which sometimes get all jumbled on download.

    It would be better to a) be able to select multiple elements and b) drag them to other collections if we want, c) on a larger or full-sized window, and d) to not have all the work undone when we click out of that window. Basically the same mechanics as the…

  17. I’d love to be able to use the Red dot (fading ink) tool at the same time as the hidden tape feature (interacting with the tape while the Red dot is activated), this will help me with active recalling info from the hidden tape easier as I can type my answer anywhere and reveal the tape without having to switch my red dot setting. It is a mild inconvenience but I’ll love for it to be changed

  19. ■Strongly desire to support left-opening of PDFs.

    Japanese books open on the left.
    In order to open a PDF of that book, it needs to move horizontally and open left.
    Also, I would like to be able to choose between “one page appears independently” or “the previous and next pages appear continuously”.
