  1. There is no feature of changing page templates all together,we have to change separately,this is annoying.Another thing is that pdf quality can't be determined,if there will be option for changing quality of extracted pdf, it will be more good,

  3. Palm rejection often fails. If you are annotating with a pen over a text box it constantly selects the text box (Sometime while I'm writing a word!). There used to be a setting where you could prevent different objects from being selected unless that specific tool was being use (i.e. you could only select a text box when you were using the text box tool)

  6. The new update on mac makes it so that you cant just tap on the screen and type based on the lines of the page, you have to go through so many steps just to start typing, this has made it extremely annoying to take notes quickly, I suggest bringing back normal typing and keeping the holding page for whole page typing as an add on for people who want it.

  7. Suggested Reply:

    Hello GoodNotes Team,

    Making the toolbar floating and removing the option for a fixed version seriously hurts the user experience. Students like us spend hours taking notes and need focus, but the toolbar constantly moves, sometimes overlaps our work, and it slows us down.

    There’s a simple solution that makes everyone happy:
    • Floating toolbar
    • Fixed (classic) toolbar

    Let users choose what works for them. It’s really that simple.

    Please add a “Classic Toolbar Mode.” This change would make a huge difference for many users.

  8. To be able to create databank of formulas, like a knowledge database of formulas to each subject and also a “mindmap” where you can combine the formulas to see which are connected with each other.
    so when you solve a math problem you can link a already created formula so next time you look at your notes you see what formula was used and if it doesnt exist yet you can add a new formula to the knowledge data base of formulas.
    Also same principle with examples of tasks, like i have a theory on a pdf and then i…

  9. If I adjust the size of the screen immediately right after taking notes, the screen stops instantaneously and is forcibly terminated. These errors occur frequently

  11. There should she a text selection tool for copying text

    Other apps have an underline or strike through tool, even a squiggly line underneath

    On the same notion, the highlight right now is draw and has to be paused in place to make a straight line but a new tool could be added that specifically highlights text only and is perfectly aligned with the text instead of overlayed

    It also you be nice to be able to create hyperlinks in the text so when you click on it, it jumps you to a certain page, and maybe include a return…

  13. 現在、画像の細かい部分に文字や注釈を書き込む際、画面全体を大きく拡大する必要があり、小さい画像の場合は特に書き込みづらく感じています。

    可能であれば、画像をタッチすると画像自体が拡大表示され、その拡大された状態で直接注釈を書き込める機能を追加していただきたいです。

    また、画像に書き込んだ文字や注釈が画像と一体化し、画像を移動・拡大・縮小した際にも、注釈が一緒に追従する仕様になると非常に助かります。

    現在の仕様では、画像に注釈を書き込んだあとに画像を操作すると、注釈が画像とは別のオブジェクトとして扱われ、画像の背面に回ってしまうことがあり、少し使いづらく感じています。

    画像と注釈をまとめて扱えるようになると、資料作成や画像へのメモ書きがより快適になると思います。

    今後のアップデートでご検討いただけますと幸いです。
    よろしくお願いいたします。

  14. Handwriting recognition function is quite important and attractive for new users, However, the app can't really recognise my Chinese handwriting even though I write in a relatively clear way. Please imporve your recognition features for Chinese as well as other languages

  15. It seems like we can create stickers and stickers are kinda like stamps. I am hoping to create stickers for various typical items/issues I find while on an inspection so that I can just place the sticker as the annotation for what I saw at that location.

    What would be really awesome is if there could be a legend based on the stickers you choose and it would be really incredible if it would automatically count them.

    For example, I’m inspecting a house and I have a sticker that is for water stains. I go around the house and place…

  18. Please bring back the keyboard-button you can see on the screenshot. I know there are the new text documents, but especially in school context it is necessary to have the ability to add text to the whole page in a notebook easily.

    Thank you!

  19. Add the ability for the Shortcuts app on iPadOS to open multiple selected documents simultaneously in Split View.

    This feature would allow users to choose specific files and define them as a paired workspace within a Shortcut. When the Shortcut is run, the selected documents would automatically open side-by-side in Split View, eliminating the need to manually open and Split View for each file.

  20. The eraser tool works but can get glitchy because when you erase it disappears but then it reappears! It should just erase in one go. Then, there are the writing aids that pop up in the bottom. When you click hide, more just keep coming and you can’t focus
