  1. If you've done enough research into analysing your competitors I'd assume you've heard of Notion's toggle feature. I love it, if it's not rocket science, just hire a Harvard Comp Sci major and get it sorted. Cheers Goodnotes

  3. I would love an option for more smooth and streamlined handwriting like in procreate. I use GoodNotes mainly for handwriting and sometimes writing on an iPad can get a little wobbly

    1. Reverting works for the whole document - even if I on the second page by reverting I can clean up the first one. It’s really annoying.

    Would be nice to have reverting working for each page rather than the whole document

    1. By some accidental reverting or just inaccurate editing I can lose data or put some new edits I was not intended to but I won’t notice it right away.

    Would be nice to have an ability to lock a page from editing or reverting

  4. I really love the good notes app but the experience if often frustating when I'll have to erase something. I think if there is a functionality like strike to erase it will be of lot of ease , it has to be like I scribble on the text and the text gets erased

  6. I suggest to add the tree view for single notebook, just like the “Microsoft OneNote”, now the GoodNotes is the best handwriting app, but it doesn’t have the tree view, I can’t organize content, please, thank you.

  7. Hi, I’m a Uni student and often times have heaps of PDF photocopies to read.

    I scroll horizontally to read them as they are often times photocopies of books.

    Therefore I don’t want to ‘interrupt’ the flow of the document to insert a blank page to take notes on.

    I figured that if you could keep scrolling vertically to read but on each page swipe horizontally to add a page next to it to take notes on it’d be a game changer.

    Once you export the file all the horizontal pages would just tuck in behind the vertical one it’s…

  10. When zoomed out, the cursor for the pen becomes a plus sign, which is not very easy to write with... It would be easier if the cursor were just a dot when zoomed in or when zoomed out.

  11. Some tools like NotesPlus and Noteshelf seem to improve my handwriting so it is Smoother and more while other tools like GoodNotes don’t do this.

    My writing seems to be more angular and ragged in GoodNotes.

    I wonder if the authors of Good Notes have reviewed these other packages to get a sense of a different writing experience ?

    Is this an area GoodNotes might address?

  12. It would be awesome if the print feature could be expanded. Especially being able to print a selection of pages and being able to choose whether to include the background (as in the pdf export) would be super duper awesome!

  14. I use iPad 8th generation and the screen is small. So, when I use split screen with half side covering my book and other half with GoodNotes, the panel with colors and fonts disappear. So, I have to click on it again and again to change the colour.
    It would be very helpful if there is a flying toggle with my colour options that I can shift here and there on my screen according to my convenience.
    Also it will save me time of going to the top bar every time I need to change colours. It would also be…

  15. Would be great, if you can create a bookmark, which you can write on and slide in like a real book mark in a journal.

    Check Video 12 on the following page.

  16. I’ve just had a bad experience with NotesPlus in which the app has had a series of really bad software problems.

    In looking for replacements, I am extremely worried about vendor lock in where the editable version of my data is locked away inside a black box.

    My notes are just that, my notes, and reflect many hours of my life’s work.

    Fortunately NotesPlus uses an open data format - a directory structure which includes document names and a tree of sub folders that hold each page of handwritten text as an SVG scalable vector graphics file which I can…

  18. Hey I tried posting this prior but I wasn’t clear enough and the thread was closed so I’m going to try again with an image of how I think would be great way to implement the flashcards.

    Essentially there would be a button, either a stand alone button or within the selection tool that will create 2 selection boxes (sequentially obviously), the first being a selection of the question and the second being the selection of the answer (I guess it would also work fine if it were a lasso style too). Please see the image if I wasn’t clear…

  19. For example, being able to add a template like graph paper onto the Zoom Window function and changing how opaque that template is on the function (to write neater and more in a straight line on imported documents!).
