  2. The search results highlight for a single word is too soft and light. It's quite difficult to find the word on the page. Please make the hilight much more prominent

  3. Add a grouping feature, similar to that in PPT or other MS apps, so areas of handrwriting, text, or other elements can be grouped together and moved or resized together easily, without having to tediously select desired elements with the Lasso tool.
    This way, drawings or diagrams with multiple sections can be layered and easily adjusted.

  5. I have been a Goodnotes user for over 5 years, and it is currently my primary note-taking app for my studies in medical school. I have recently noticed a small redundancy that I believe can make the user experience a lot smoother if a slight improvement is made. When accessing the outlines within a notebook composed of imported PDFs, there are both custom outlines and auto-imported PDF outlines. As is the case with many students, the PDF outlines are often cluttered and sometimes irrelevant, so custom outlines are instead used to divide the various subsections (eg. lectures) within a notebook.…

  7. As a med student that always write notes at the side i recommend paper margins which it can extend your pdf to write notes. Also layers for active recalling , its a great help and i discovered this in noteful app and its very very useful. Also the tags easy to navigate and well organized. I forgot, the suboutline also easy to navigate. I hope you guys add this features its very helpful for us students.

  8. For a math conversion tool, it's essential that Goodnotes should be able to recognize every mathematical or science symbol/sign. Simple symbols like the mathematical “therefore” symbol, ∴ , can't be recognized, making writing and converting one's math's notes a challenge especially in academic writing. Now I realize there are a lot of symbols out there, but one way to go about it is to take a look at the comprehensive lists at ctan.org. They have comprehensive list of every LaTeX symbol, which pretty much equates to every math symbol that can be indentified for conversion. I've attached one such file.…

  10. Please create an option to natively import speaker notes from powerpoint files into either adendums to each slide, separate slides that follow each slide the notes are associated with, or another method like a sticky note on each slide. It shouldn't be a massive hassle to implement, since Powerpoint files can be extracted by command line as zip files, and all the speaker notes are located in /ppt/notesSlides/notesSlide*.xml files, with each slide having its own notesSlide.xml file. The speaker notes are located in plaintext in these files in some basic OpenXML formatting that Microsoft came up with for office. Specifically,…

  11. It would be great if we could write notes off on the margins for pdfs or have a continuous note taking feature instead of having to add new pages to a document.

  12. Be able to autocorrect specific handwritten characters.

    You could create your own character, for example “z”, “/“, or an integral, and if Goodnotes recognizes your handwriting and “sees” that it’s similar, it gives you the option to replace it.
    Your “autocorrect” characters are handwritten.

    Additionally, being able to lasso “add” a character to this character autocorrect. As we all know, nicely written characters are usually made when you’re not trying.

    Possibly allow this feature to be a button so people can turn it on to read that specific page to reduce potential frustration with constant autocorrect suggestions.

  16. Hello Everyone!
    I write happily and motivated, because Goodnotes made my engineering studies better and more enjoyable.
    With this mindset, this thought also comes: Constrain objects to each other.
    E.g: I have a line, and I draw a circle. I want them to align tangentially. This would be awesome, since the shape recognition works amazing. Tangent is just one thing, it would be good to see other constraints, like perpendicular, parallel, concentric, midpoints, intersections, or maybe the option to define a distance between shapes/points. I know the app should remain a note taking app, but with the intro of math…

  17. Please evaluate the Goodnotes app for accessibility and provide VPAT(S) and an. Accessibility Statement with your security and privacy options. VPAT version of the template should be 2.4 or higher (itic.org/policy/accessibility/vpat) and use the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 AA (w3.org/TR/WCAG21/)or higher standards.

    Aside from making your application as accessible as possible to make it inclusive and abide by current laws, it will help you comply with the April 2024 update to the Title II if the ADA (federalregister.gov/documents/2024/04/24/2024-07758/nondiscrimination-on-the-basis-of-disability-accessibility-of-web-information-and-services-of-state#).

  18. To Link across documents
    Make it more useable like LiquidText , like just linking things with just connecting words and pages. Which will be more helpful for researching.
    Add a side notes taking freespace for pdfs like LiquidText , which will also be very helpful.

  19. Please improve the text boxes. I would like to be able to do superscript and subscript numbers. Every user that works in science needs this sooner or later. It would be a simple but very necessary improvement.
