  3. Having to crop, then click screenshot, then click export, and then click copy just to copy images of a pdf or other items is time consuming.

    A more direct to the point action of being able to copy once in the crop box would be better instead of 4 actions to do one thing

  4. Simple: instead of just having the lasso that you have to painstakingly use to circle handwriting, convert each page to text, and then export to another program to edit, why not...
    ...have a button that instantly converts the entire handwritten document into text, ready to edit/export?

  5. I am a Maths teacher from Vietnam. I love technology. About 2 years ago, I came across your Goodnotes application, which was the number one paid application in AppStore and I felt lucky that I bought it. I got excited and engrossed in your app at the very first time I used it. I work with Mathematics problems very frequently. When using Goodnotes, the problems become much easier and more intriguing. I learned a lot from these and thanks to it, my students got many prizes in local competitions. I wrote a “long essay” to you in the reviews section…

  6. the latest version of goodnotes seem to have made a little bit of change on the handwriting improvement algorithm to make the end of the writing thicker, which makes it less comfortable. Also, there is more delay of the writing. Please resume the previous algorithm.

  7. I use good notes for teaching. But when I’m explaining with both of my hands, my students don’t get to see which screen area to focus on. Laser pointer is amazing feature but it needs activity from instructor.

    We can use mouse cursor as an ‘idle-state’ highlighter in presentation mode. Should be easy to implement. And if we can control the colour, size and opacity of the cursor in presentation mode, it would be awesome.

  8. Allow the zoom feature to have gridlines or writing lings (horizontal only) (decided by the writer) in the zoom box even if the document is blank; this will make annotations neater (as they will be following straight lines). This would improve annotations massively.

    Thank you

  10. One of my most used tools is the selection tool.

    However when resizing, it also rotates the selection which is really annoying.

    Would prefer if rotation occurred through pinching or separate box in another corner.

    Also add the Rectangular Selection.

  11. The range of colors that GoodNotes offers is amazing, but it can be difficult in practice to fluidly incorporate them into documents. This could be streamlined considerably by having a coloring tool that allows the user to change the color of pen and highlighter marks by stroking over them with their pencil.

    Motivation:
    There are a lot of use cases where it is useful to have multi-colored diagrams and writing. For example, is often helpful to color certain variables and subscripts in mathematical equations to intuitively link equations together. As it is, doing this either requires changing the pen color…

  12. I print often my written notes. What I don't like is that my handwriting is abnormally large. My iPad screen is smaller than a letter size page and thus everything I print is abnormally large.

    What I would like is a zoom which would always be 1:1 size of the paper template I use. a 1 cm line on the screen would indeed print as a 1cm line.

  13. My main use of GoodNotes is to read academic whitepaper PDFs and annotate them. I'd really like it if I could convert the white backgrounds to a sepia tone to make them easier on the eyes. iOS Night Shift changes too much in my opinion. It'd be awesome if there was a way to naively just change every pixel of one color to another color, say white -> sepia, black -> gray, white -> black, etc.

  15. Add a keyboard shortcut to go to the top of a document or bottom of a document on the Mac. It is difficult to move around in large documents without them. Thanks!

  16. “Return option” it would be great that after you open a document and have opened so many pages you could have an option to jump straight to the main documents page instead of clicking so many times to return to open a new Document but still be able to return within that currently open folder or document page by page as it operates now

  17. It would be nice to be able to search for his notes. What has been highlighted or what has been drawn, or written by hand, because global research does not allow it. And / Or have a list of annotations that we made and in which we could do research

  20. Take a picture with iPhone camera instead of iPad camera.
    For better usability it would be easier to use user's iPhone to take picture and it is a feature I need every day. (Apple notes app has the feature)
