  1. It would be good if we can add a new page according to the previous page size without copying its content. It will definitely save our time and allow us to use different template in a file.

  3. Could GoodNotes only store recent accessed files for quick access and store unused files automatically on iCloud? It will be really useful for devices running out of storage.
    iCloud Drive on the iPadOS files app could do that.

  4. I would like to export the highlights I make on a PDF as a plain text file. Like Kindle does with highlights on a book.

  5. There is a ton of clicking that is required when utilizing the application, whether on the MAC or iPAD.
    One example: Copying & pasting, clicking to select the text, etc is extremely slow. Mistakes are often made because I am working faster than the application. I have to wait a couple of seconds for the text box to show up and make sure the cursor is active before pasting something. If I paste immediately after I select to place my text box, then the text will randomly be pasted onto the page in the original format requiring to click into…

  6. I'm currently taking a math class and the exam reviews don't leave sufficient space underneath the text so I can work out the problem. So it would be really efficient if we could add a white space or whatever is preferred, right below where we need space to write in. I know we could just add a page, but there's usually more than like 8 problems per page that I don't want to waste time writing out separately.

  7. Wenn ein Bild per Screenshot eingefügt wird, wird es nicht automatisch auf dem Mac gespeichert und man muss einen neuen Screenshot erstellen, um das Bild auch woanders einzufügen (zb. bei Lernkarten, einmal die Lösung und einmal das Bild der Lösung nur mit geschwärzten Lösungen). Es wäre super, wenn man das Bild einfach per klick auf das Bild kopieren könnte, wie eine Textpassage.

  9. I use this to take notes ehile inspecting houses. I take 50-60 or more during an inspection. While I can save each one individually (one at a time) to camera roll it would be awesome if that could happen automatically.

  10. 建议可以让文字和手写有相同的颜色!
    在笔记中有时候会用到大段文字输入,和手写不能同一个颜色实在是太难受了!而且输入文字的颜色不可以自由加入保存

  12. Maybe offer a wider selection of highlighters instead of just the rounded tip one! Visually, sometimes it looks nicer for my notes if the highlighter rip were slanted or simply had a flat end to it.

  13. I text a lot and I also like to keep the color tone of my notes but the app doesn’t have the feature to add the color to presets for the text function. It also could be more convenient if there’s the color picker tool so I can keep the tone of my notes whenever I text or write. Lastly, I notice that the hex code of the color is ALWAYS #FFEEFF. As I said before, GoodNotes doesn’t have feature of setting text color to presets so I intent to remember the hex code instead but it’s still FFEEFF... I…

  14. Please can you add “view action history” and allowing us to undo function please.
    I find it so frustrating when I can only redo a limited number of times, yet my previous notes have been accidental deleted.

    To make it clear, I meant that I have accidentally make new notes on my previous document and deleted something that I previously had in the same document. And I couldn’t recover what I have in the same old document. The “undo” function the app provided is not rally user-friendly... :( and I find it disappointing... I hope that you may improve more…

  16. I’m using vertical page view. No matter how fast I scroll (ipad, with a finger), it a fixed speed. This is not the case with native scrolling, in a webpage for example or a pdf file.
    Pls make scrolling with varied speed, same as native device.

  18. PLEASE REMOVE THE NEW (+) BUTTON FROM THE DASHBOARD. PLEASE REPLACE IT WITH A SIMPLE PLUS SIGN LOCATED TOP RIGHT. THERE IS NO REASON THE + SIGN SHOULD OCCUPY SO MUCH SPACE IN THE DASHBOARD.

  20. For the lasso tool. The blank space where the colour and size selection is should be toggles for the lasso tool. Like if I want to lasso just the handwriting and not the image/highlights or if I don't want to move textboxes. This would be really useful when adding side notes to annotations
