  1. The ability to import a pdf as a smaller file/image similar to the way Notability lets you import scanned pdfs by giving you two options of either importing it as an image or importing it as a full-scale pdf would be an amazing feature. GoodNotes seems to make it imperative that something must be scanned instead of imported from another source in order to recognize text. This is the case at least when importing images or pdfs that were not OCR'd and have unrendered text in them.

    I feel like this proposal would be helpful, in that, it would allow…

  2. I want to buy the new version of GoodNotes 6, but the zoom in functionality in templates setting is missing, which stops me from doing the purchase

  3. Lines telling users that what they’ve written down is align with others in another line. Also, when using a squared paper, I mean now we can move it freely without any lock when we move pass through those grid lines. But it would be better, if the words we’ve written down are stayed or locked on the grid line.

  4. I would love to have a toggle to activate something like a "zen mode". If toggled, there should be nothing except for the paper and a floating toolbar with selected tools only. The user has complete control over which tools to use here. For example, I never use stickers, so this would not be in my toolbar. However, I regularly switch between a blue ballpoint, a black ballpoint, a green brush and a red brush pen. These alongside with the eraser and lasso tool would be in my "Zen Floating Toolbar".
    Additionally, it would be very helpful to customize the…

  11. Now it is hard to write near the edge of the page while zooming in.
    For example, writing on the right edge of the page with the right-hand needs your hand to float.
    For another example, using the lasso tool, once the pencil detected released near the edge of the screen, the selection region will be confirmed.

    Adding a scrolling "margin" would be the best solution; allow scroll outside the page.

  12. Merging pdf, either between existing goodnotes files or those in my files, is something I do fairly regularly. I have to usually turn to online sources that are sometimes a little sketchy looking rather than paying high fees to do something that should be simple. I would love to see this ability added to goodnotes!

  13. This way, each heading can have a user-defined default color, and you don't have to change it every time.

    This would pair nicely with keyboard shortcuts.

  14. Drawing Mathematical equations on a graph by hand is pretty exhausting. Especially, when Goodnotes doesnt really make it possible to draw them accurate.

    I would love to add a window to my GoodNote document where I can interactively plot a function like f(x)= x + ln(x).
    A kind of GeoGebra implementation in the document would be cool.
    That would help all the people who
    -are still in school
    -are studying something scientific
    -are working in a technical profession

  15. I have a notebook I’ve purchased that I want to get the original formatting and I can’t do that because it doesn’t show up in the store anymore and I would like to see my in app purchases history to redownload a new version of the notebook I already have. There needs to be a search history and search feature in the app so we can find these things.

  17. The topic says it all really …

    Currently the app preferences captures a setting for your language, with respect to handwriting recognition.

    My suggestion is to extend that data point to also apply to the default language used when creating a new “Study Set” of flash cards.

    The need to change this every time seems a failing on the part of the design…

  18. It'd be amazing to have Pop-up Notes. Say you're working on a paper with a dense list of questions that you'd like to answer in the same notebook. It'd be good to be able to create a Popup note (UI wise could just be a circular note icon that expands) in an area that you choose, so when you click on it a popup comes up that lets you write within that new popup.

    This would also be cool for marking or writing extra notes that you don't want directly onto a document.

  20. With the release of Goodnotes 6, I would like to have a feature where the voice recording in iOS can be shared with the Windows version. This will be such a good improvement and easier for anyone with different devices.
