  1. It would be great if we could make a table/chart... just the Form Not all these calculating thing

    Es wäre toll wenn man eine Tabelle machen könnte... nur die Form nicht die Kalkulationsfunktionen. (Das wäre 2.-Rangig)

    For the geometry function would it be nice if we can draw halve circles or bows or something like a sinus-function.

    Für die Geometrie Funktion wäre es toll wenn man halbe Kreise, Bögen oder etwas ähnliches wie eine Sinusfunktion zeichnen könnte.

  3. While working with an iPad Pro 12" the navbar i kind of empty please add a fast option for color changing. It would be great if you would place about 5 colours directly between the boxwriting and the pen symbol and the pen thickness on the other side!

  4. Give the possibility to create own templates such as project plan, meeting minutes or any other use full template. Just provide a empty page, where users are able to draw/create their own templates with the existing tools (Handwriting, Lines, Boxes, Text, ...). Give the possibility to use that page as privat template.
    Additional to the creation of own templates, there should be the possibility to upload the privat templates to a platform, where users can share their experience with others.

  5. Right now if I try and resize a selected object, the only option is to resize the object on both dimensions (length and width), but I'd like to be able to resize on only one dimension sometimes.

    For a good implementation example, see the app "Inkflow"... they have both abilities there. But overall I like your app better so... please implement this feature!

  6. It appears that when PDFs are exported they are done so as a "flattened" PDF. It would be great if the PDF elements were still editable after export - both the written notes and any fields if they were included in the original PDF.

  8. It would be really helpful to have „View only links“ as an alternative to collaboration. This would enable us to share information without giving permission to edit it. I would use this really often in a school and work context.

  9. As an aerospace engineer, it was essential for me to be able to draw curves and lines by connecting points without going crazy. Since the last update, if you connect multiple curved lines, the system interprets this function however it wants and gives it a shape completely different from what I intended. Moreover, if you create simple shapes like circles inside other figures, it’s no longer possible to rotate the entire drawing. Please go back to the old logic — it was 100 times better.

    1. Playback speeds at 1.25x 1.5x 1.75x 2x
      2. Option to delete our voice recording
      3. Option to split the voice recordings and edit them like cropping some segment of recording

          4. Option to enable Animated Preview of our recording, when    we would

  12. Pasting a large text copied from another source into goodnotes doesn’t automatically moves to the next pages. Only workaround for this is to copying small parts and paste and then move to next page and continue like this. Text should automatically move to next pages if the area is insufficient for that page.

  13. I hope this gets seen!! It’s been a year!!

    Please let us preset text colours, I use text most of the time as it’s neater.

    I’m sure it’s not that hard to add in presets for text as you’ve already done so for highlighters and pens.

  15. Goodnotes is great. With the flash card option it is even greater and holds the potential to compete with Anki, the best-known provider for the creation of flash cards for effective and sustainable learning, since a lot of students like to write by hand which is not possible with Anki. Especially since the Anki app for tablets is available for the great expense of € 27.99. Goodnotes could attract a lot of customers with an expansion of the feature.

    At the moment, however, studying with more detailed flash cards on good notes is very exhausting as the content is displayed…

  16. I think the app is great, but a feature that is missing is the ability to recognize txt on imported images and hand written PDFs.
    It would be great is you just added that feature like in ZoomNotes.

    Another thing that I find necessary is a feature to cover text on images (for example when importing screenshots to make Flashcards and you want to cover the text on the image). This would be really useful after having OCR on images.

    Another issue that I have is when drawing shapes. Although the option to color fill is enabled, this “fill” is…

  17. Please get rid of the text box feature in this app that makes you create multiple text boxes and have to manually re-size them. Instead make it so we have continuous typing without text boxes

  18. A lot of the notes I download for school have diagrams with text labels that the search function doesn't find. An OCR program built into the search function would smooth this over and wouldn't be difficult.

  19. I would like to have a feature where you can press and hold on any writing in the note and your pen will automatically use that selected formatting, similar to a colour eye dropper tool.
