  2. It would be a huge time saver if somehow the app would automatically index any sort of annotation to either the front of the doc to summarize certain chapters or documents. This could effectively summarize the ideas and create an outline of the doc so that one would not have to go back to find different highlights etc.

  5. Erasing within a circles erases the circle itself. The tools should not do this and should be working like it does within other shapes.

  8. I love the feature that if you draw a freehand line and keep your pen on the screen then it snaps to a straight line. But sometimes I draw/write something complicated and leave the pen down too long by mistake. I then have to erase and start again. It would be nice to be able to undo the snapping to a straight line and return to whatever I originally drew rather than return to before I started drawing.

  9. We Need a lineal function to mess some kind of stuff on our pages. Would be really nice for Students in Math to have the exact measure data.

  11. In windows like for exporting, the button to execute the final step ("Export" in this case) is blue, like the Apple pop-up windows. This suggests hitting the return key should work like pressing that button with the cursor like with Apple pop-ups, but this is not the case. Seems like a simple fix that would just make users' lives a little easier.

  12. Many GoodNotes users want to share documents with people who do not have the app, so it would be incredible if you added the option to share through a link so that anyone from any browser can view it and download it in pdf format, and that when we are modifying the file the other person reload the page and the changes made will appear.

  13. My professors sometimes provide us with scans of documents to read. I like to annotate as I read. However because these can be scans with black edges from scanning, it is really hard to find a color that will show through. If I was able to put an opaque shape behind my text to make it easily viewable, that would be awesome. The current fill only allows for a see though fill and it doesn’t help at all. I also can’t chose white because it would not show on the white spaces and I don’t want to be changing pen…

  17. Es wäre super, wenn man in Goodnotes Links einfügen könnte und diese dann auch mit dem Hyperlink verbunden wären. Gerade bei Zusammenfassungen könnte man so die Quelle verlinken.

  18. Make a function like a text bubble in PDF expert.
    Very useful on powerpoints where there is no place to write on top off the slides.

  19. Ink to maths would be perfect, notability has added the feature via my script and it will be excellent if good notes could do the same

  20. In my opinion it would be amazing if the highlighter aways automatically went under the pen, so it would work better with lighter pen colors and dark templates. The highlighter works good with black pen and it doesn't make it opaque or something, but I makes lighter pens murky. Maybe there could be an option in the highlighter settings to change wether the highlighter goes on top or bottom.
