  1. imrpoved text processing like oneNote, Notes, pages or word.
    please add more text processing features for use on macs like writing on a page without the limiting textbox, list features etc.
    goal: preparing notes during a phonecall with the keyboard, adding texts, lists or preparing a meeting summary directly in GN instead of preparing in Notes or other apps and pasting it to GN afterwards.
    this is the reason our workflow still relies on other party apps instead of organizing everything in GN.
    love to see more macbook - keyboard/mouse text processing features!

  2. Most ideal for copying and pasting images with text that we've written on top of it!

  3. After a screenshot is done, and we've resized it down, and we make another copy ... it would be awesome to have that 2nd copy be the same size of the previous (which we cropped ourselves) rather than the very 1st original copy.

  4. Instead of having to add a tag word on each document and then exclude the tag, make a checkbox option. This should be available for folders and individual documents. Default would be backup.

  6. It would be really useful to have the option of of moving the tools at the top in such a way that it works better. Since I write with my left hand, instead of reaching over with my right hand to to the top left corner of the screen to change my pen tools, eraser, etc., I could just reach the top write corner to access my most used tools in an easier way

  7. Penultimate has a great feature, similar to GoodNotes’ AutoAdvance, where the screen moves automatically if you’re writing and it stops moving as you stop writing. This was really useful for me as it meant I mainly had to move my hand in one direction- I didn’t need to move it along the page, as the page moved itself. This enabled me to write significantly faster and reduced hand strain. It would be great to see this added into GoodNotes

  8. Hi, I’m a Uni student and often times have heaps of PDF photocopies to read.

    I scroll horizontally to read them as they are often times photocopies of books.

    Therefore I don’t want to ‘interrupt’ the flow of the document to insert a blank page to take notes on.

    I figured that if you could keep scrolling vertically to read but on each page swipe horizontally to add a page next to it to take notes on it’d be a game changer.

    Once you export the file all the horizontal pages would just tuck in behind the vertical one it’s…

  9. Making it more easier to change pen, eraser and various other tools.

    To change colour or intensity click on the tool icon again.

  12. I love the flash card tool. It would be very nice if there was an option to show the "answer"-side first in the learning mode. For example it would be very nice to learn words of a different language in both directions: French - English and English French.

  13. Man wählt eine gewünschte Größeneinheit (mm ; cm ; m ; etc.) aus und kann nun in einem kleinen Fenster über der gezogenen Linie sehen wie lang sie ist.
    Weiterhin, sollten zwei geraden miteinander verbunden sein, sieht man den Winkel zwischen beiden

  14. I know you have a Flash card tool and spaced repetition but only inside of a document. It would be great to have a separate place where you have all your flash cards within the Goodnotes app and it tells you when to study what and you then go to the specific document

  15. For the Mac version of Goodnotes, the application should remember the previous window size and location (even on large external monitors) on each subsequent reopening. This is a standard feature of all "well behaved Mac applications".

  16. 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.

  18. I feel like it would be really nice if we could have a couple more customizations for the pen? Especially the amount of streamline, and also potentially the pressure sensitivity?

  19. Adding the ability to scroll through notecards in practice mode rather than having to select how we felt we did would be helpful for studying
