  2. When making a card it would be nice to have all functions available, such as draw, type and pictures.

    One idea could be to have the classical top menu where the pen, eraser, hilighter, etc are found but also include a “Type” option that allows the user to type notes in the center of the card, just like it is in the current version. After that, the other tools can be used to add onto the text, such as hilighting or creating hand written annotations.

    It would also be useful to add both pictures and text to the same card.

  3. Have an option to have a delay of the apple pencil but in return for smoother lines, like procreate. Many people use tempered glass protectors which forcibly results in wobbly curved lines especially when drawing diagrams. A toggle or button to turn on a smoothing feature for drawing diagrams would be great

  4. Ruler or writing grid that is not really on a page after using the tool would be amazing. Because apples handwriting to text doesnt work with many languages!

  5. I am left-handed and use GoodNotes on my iPad for taking notes. When you're editing a document and zoomed in so that the entire width of the document can not be displayed and scroll all the way to the edge of the document, GoodNotes forces the edge of the document to the edge of the display and does not allow you to scroll off the page. This makes it difficult for me when writing at the beginning of a line, since I'm left-handed, my hand is often hovering off the edge of my iPad or I need to set something…

  6. A good notes account is a good idea as iCloud sync is not reliable. Making a username and password to have all folders and notebooks safe in a “goodnotes account” is the best way to ensure nothing is lost, and is an easy way to access these notes on other compatible devices (like iPad to MacBook).

  7. Pull to Add Page is a great feature. However, in my case it seems to always duplicate the last page in the document. But that doesn't seem to make sense. For example, why - if I have marked up an image in GoodNotes, - would I want to duplicate it? Then I just have another page that is the same as the one before it.

    So I find myself constantly pulling to add page, and then having to delete the newly created (duplicate) page, and then I have to go up to the dropdown menu and choose the template. It…

  8. The option for infinite pages like Onenote would be amazing! I find being able to scribble out ideas for mind mapping really helps me with my ADHD.
    The ability to print it out later would be great as well, perhaps in the form of light outlines in the background on the template so we can visualise where all of the writting is going, or an auto suggestion?

    I love how CollaNote allows you to have multiple pen/highlighter options on the side of the page instead of the top bar. That would be reallly really helpful as well as I colour…

  9. please add a feature to place the toolbar vertically on the Left/Right side of the screen. It's really useful as you don't have to move your hand way up or down to change tools or colours as well it allows larger space for writing.
    Similar features are available in notability and apple notebook 👇👇

  10. I use GN to store ebooks. Sometimes I need to copy / paste from a PDF stored.
    Im able to use the FIND to find the text, but I can't select lines or paragraphs, copy and past it (i.e.) on MSWord or Mails....

  11. There are latex keyboards i am using to insert equations as images,

    but,

    it is time consuming, and all the equations i just wrote on time when in classroom cannot be converted once this guys are on my notes....

    what about ocr laze to convert those?

    what about a new concept?, make your book from your notes... a beatifull and nice book...

    take your notes just in time and then convert it to a book... a pdf to share with your pals without showing your/my awfull hand writting style...

    lets call it autoedition.... do you remember that when PCs rised…

  13. In previous version my battery was draining and fetching heating issue while using GoodNotes. Then I got updated version telling that it will be resolved. But for me it hasn’t been resolved yet.

  16. When you you have a note open, clicking on its name disclosure arrow reveals where it is in the folder hierarchy. It would be great if one could click on one of those folders, and go there (just as one does in OS X). It would save a lot step-by-step navigation, particularly if all you want to do is (also) open another note in the same folder.

  17. Enable File Storage without iCloud backup - My daughter is halfway through her sophomore year in college and loves (we all do) good notes. Her first years data is taking up several mega bytes of data (almost 32) which is all the memory she has on her iPad. As she continues we will obviously have to buy a new iPad and storage but would be great to be able to save that first years data to an offline file for use down the road to refer to and or share with friends. Good notes rocks, please add that feature!

  18. It would be great to have an option to make all pages the same width (or at least displayed so). When pages have different widths, they tend to move sideways when scrolled vertically. And this is very unpleasant.

    When importing pages from different sources, Notability makes all pages the same width by default, and this makes scrolling very smooth.

  20. I would like to have the option to have an unlimited page size, just like Apple notes. So no page-breaks in between, just one long page, which is expanding by it self.
