  1. Situation:
    As a frequent user of GoodNotes, my primary activity involves editing PDF files. I import numerous documents into the app to annotate and review them using my Apple Pencil. These edits include highlighting key information and jotting down spontaneous thoughts. Once edited, I export these PDFs to store them in my personal file system, including iCloud, for access through various other tools like Obsidian or Adobe Acrobat Pro.

    Improvement:
    I propose an enhancement where GoodNotes can directly link to specific folders on iCloud or local storage on a MacBook. Instead of importing PDFs into GoodNotes' internal storage, this feature…

  3. adding the tool that enabled you to cover parts of text or just page in general and then reveal what is below just by clicking on it... basically tape feature like in other note-taking apps
    so useful for revising, especially in med, bio, pharm ... and other fields of knowledge

  4. This feature is used by Notability app. I’ve seen that some of people already mentioned this idea, but they had a really small amount of votes. This tool allows to cover a part of text or a note in order to test yourself. This feature is similar to the “cloze” flashcard in Anki and I think that it would be a perfect solution for students that like to learn from their notes

  5. I would love to be able to use the lasso tool to select a handwritten word in a notebook and have that take me to a particular section in my notes. I know you can link to a certain page, but from my knowledge the link must be typed and I would like to be able to be able to link to a section of the screen. This could maybe be done by zooming into a certain section that you want to link to and having a button up the top allowing you to save that position in the screen…

  6. I love the ruler, however, why is the inch version set to 1/10 of an inch increments? This makes zero sense. It's a metric ruler with an inch baseline and is of ZERO value. I use this feature to get rough square footage calculations from architectural drawings and although it works ok - if you are claiming to have a ruler, please have a "ruler."

  7. Your app's seamless integration of voice recordings and ball pen scribblings is impressive. Adding laser brush pointer integration to recordings would further enhance presentations, making them more dynamic. So that we can replay the recorder and see the laser brush pointer run along with the pre written text & the voice recording.

  9. there are a few features that exist on the IOS Application that is missing on the WIndows/WEB Application. for example I am missing the ability to fill in forms and drawings that I made. also, the ability to have several documents open in the same app. I can also not erase notes just by scribbling over them, which might be a problem for Lenovo and also there are just way more possibilities to customize the Pen on the Tablet App.

  12. It would be great to be able to have the opportunity to add indices and exponents to our words/letters/numbers!
    I have a bachelor's degree in biology and it would be very practical for mathematical formulas!

  13. Possibility to generate an App link like goodnotes:///document/page to link to a specific goodnotes document and page and place this link in a different app like omnifocus. So when I click on the link goodnotes open the document on the specific page

  15. Many of us use Goodnotes to take notes but are also using to do apps/task management apps (e.g. Todoist, SkedPal) to keep track of our work. We used to be able to take handwritten notes, convert to text, and then run a shortcut that would push it out to todoist; however, that seems to be broken. Any foothold you can provide that would allow for easy integration to a task management app would be amazing - I’d be able to quickly move my todos out of my notes and into my task list and I’d be so productive (…granted I’d…

  16. Allow a sidebar menu link to allow opening a document from recent history across devices.

    Useful when we don’t want to save it as a favourite but have opened in another device and want to pick up from where you left.

  18. 目前功能非常鸡肋,无法移动,只能修改名字,和实际学习时候需要用的大纲完全不一样,应该把自定义大纲做到自由移动并且可以形成父子层级的大纲
    要不然这个功能“自定义大纲”真是一点用处都没有,假如你学到第20面,发现第10面忘了做大纲,那第10面的大纲就只能放到第20面后面,而不是可以自由移动到第10面,这个功能很简单,但是这么久都没实现,非常影响学习
