  1. I am a student studying in Korea. When studying with a good note, if you move the handwriting with the lasso, I hope that the highlight and handwriting will be separately selected.

  2. An existing page(main page) must have options to add side pages which can be used to have more information for a topic/content present on the main page.

    Basically using the side pages as rough workspace to note down more info of a particular topic present on the main page where the side pages can be hidden when not needed.

    Example:
    1) An equation on the main page and its derivation on the side pages(collapsable/hidden pages) that can be accessed whenever required and can be hidden away when not required.

    2)A formula on the main page and sample problems and solutions…

  4. Select pen text using the lasso tool, and be able to adjust pen stroke just as you would color. This is a feature on Notability that I'm very jealous of because it makes it much easier to resize notes.

  5. A fast scrolling option is important for file who have LOTS OF PAGES.

  6. When I turn on "low power mode" screen turn off after a short while. If tgere was an option to keep tge screen awake when goodnotes is open, it would be a pleasure.

  7. Goodnotes should add more shortcuts for Macbook users. For example to hide or show sidebar, or to transfer from reading type to annotation type.

  11. Separate palettes for added pen colors. What I mean is when we add new colors, I would love be able to be make separate ones. Instead of only having one single palette, why not have the ability to create separate ones?

  12. On my Mac, when I double click the mouse pointer on a word to select it, GoodNotes responds by increasing the zoom level of the note -- the word is not selected. When I double click again on the word, GoodNotes responds by unzooming. In every other app, I can select a word by double clicking on it -- this is my preferred app response since it is what is expected throughout all of computing. I would appreciate it if GoodNotes behaved the same way -- select, not zoom. Thank you.

  13. I want to create a new Quick Note and then when finished move it (all pages) to a Notebook. At present I can tap the File name and it only allows me to move to a Folder. The only viable option is to use the page picker, select all pages and then I can move to a Notebook - lots of taps

  15. I've seen a lot of requests to enable in line replacing of handwriting with text. This would be a killer feature and would make the app even more fantastic. It would be awesome if this function could (also) be used to make handwritten notes clearer.

    Microsoft Whiteboard on Surface already uses this 'magic wand' function:
    https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=V2F0mKVfp7k

    Key is that the algorithm replaces the handwriting with legible text using the same color, comparable size and a suitable font.

    This feature works great to make handwritten notes better suitable for sharing with other people.

    Thanks for reading and keep up the good…

  16. There should be a section goodnotes that is accessible only after entering an access code similar to locked notes on iOS. This will allow users to save sensitive notes in a separate section.

  18. I'm a surgical resident, and I've used almost every form of note taking, app and study method available in my 30+ years of being a professional student.

    I've used Notability for a long time, but switched to Goodnotes because of the feature set, community, and one-time fee model. There are a few key missing features that make me switch back and forth between the apps.

    Disclaimer: I realize the amount of effort it takes to execute new features and believe people should be compensated for their work. I would not be opposed to in-app purchases for the additional features proposed…

  20. Ipad用戶,以前在不使用編輯工具時也可選取文字。更新後要在使用編輯工具下才能選取文檔的文字,操作變得極不方便且不能用apple pencil選取文字!建議改回原來版本!
