  1. I am getting a touchscreen Chromebook but since this app isn't available on the Chrome Web Store, I won't be able to use it. Having Goodnotes on my other devices would be extremely helpful because I take my laptop to school and use it for all of my assignments.

  2. We are already able to copy an image to clipboard with the lasso tool.
    Would be great if we could insert that image later again.
    At the moment we need to safe it to photos and insert it from there, which can quickly mess up our photos.

  4. The combination of free style drawing like in GoddNotes4 and the way MyScript Nebo handles the handwriting recognition (inline) would be absolutly amazing. The organizing of notebooks, the template handling ... nearly perfect in GoodNotes, the hadwriting recognition of MyScript Nebo ... excellent. And now, please, combine it.

    Thank you!

  5. Do not start page numbering with the cover. Just like a book the number should start after the cover. Ideally I’d like the option of selecting where it starts, that way I can add my own TOC (journal summary) and not number the TOC page(s).

  6. It would be really beneficial to add another pen tool along the banner (alongside the pen and highlighter tool) which allows a much larger pen size design for colouring in, allowing for ease in drawing diagrams etc. Currently, the pen tool does not go large enough and the highlighter tool overlaps the colour making a block colour difficult to achieve. Additionally, rather than just giving you a circle as the pen stamp, squares or lines could be added as brushes.

  9. I will be more likely to use GoodNotes if I can import my IOS notes all at once, (I would not take the time to copy and paste one by one, it would take too long). Is there any way to do this?

  12. I take notes for grad school using your app. You have categories. But within those categories I want to be able to organize into sub categories based on the modules that are being covered

  13. We should be able to add shapes from a predefined set of shapes from the developers. Plus we should be able to save our own custom shapes like for eg a rectangle with different length and breadth or a elliptical shapes etc

  14. Could you guys consider to create a function that users can insert page numbers to files so that it's more convenient for users to arrange when they printed it out as well as going through their notes in devices.

  16. I hate that I can't use Goodnotes on my Surface Pro, My job is office based, we don't have ios, and it sure would be nice to use my digital planner...or at least a web based option.

  17. In PDFs, normally I highlight the most important information, and at the end I want to see in a list, all the sentences that were highlighted.
    Please make this happen for a next update!
    Thanks
