  1. A tool that changes the colour of existing handwritten strokes in the same way that the stroke eraser removes handwritten strokes. Rather than having to make careful lasso selections around pen strokes then selecting colour, users could use this tool to quickly edit the colour of their text to highlight certain words using different colours really easily. This tool would have a colour pallet much like the pen tool that decides the colour the strokes will be changed to when painted over.

    The attached gif demonstrates the functionality of the proposed tool

  3. I love your software and love how I can highlight text. However, I miss that highlighting the text wont mark it as a note so that it would appear as such in GoodNotes or any other PDF viewer such as Mac Preview, Adobe etc.

    There seems to be a note standard format that is not used by Goodnotes.

    This is bad because only with this internal format, notes as such can be collected, aggregated in an overview-function and even be extracted content-wise (some PDF-software such as PDF expert can do this — very helpful to re-read what was relevant).

  4. When we shrink the note size, there are a lot of margins on the sides. I'd like to be able to take notes on these side margins, please! My lecture slides are not big enough, so it'd be so nice to be able to create some extended margins to the sides to make notes. Thank you! please please please ❤️

  6. Streaming radio has become the https://ascolta-radio.it/ norm for those with internet access. This form of radio has grown to become an important part of the entertainment industry, especially in the United States. Streaming radio offers an alternative to traditional radio, giving listeners access to a wide variety of shows and channels, which can be enjoyed on the go.

  8. when external templates are bought , why can't we acces them from the database? i bought the dotted grid to test the process and it end like any pdf you would ad in a folder... not really useful, had to copy and paste instead of adding directly from the "plus" icon.
    anyway, i love that app and use it so much

  9. Please add a confirmation button to the duplication shortcut. "command D" duplicates my notebooks and makes my good notes crash. I accidentally press it instead of "command F" which is search quite often.

  10. When studying flash cards, it would be helpful if the flash card window only disappeared after tapping „done“. Currently, you have to be so careful not to touch the screen anywhere.

  11. Please add the ability to customise folders and their colours!!!! For example, different coloured folders, add emojis or text to folders etc. That would make the app perfect!

  12. It would be fantastic if there could be an hour/minute/second timer built into goodnotes. My purpose is for taking notes on movies and tv episodes since I work in post production, but I could see this being useful for taking notes during video lectures etc to be able to reference back to a certain timecode easily, or have a time of day stamped to notes. How I could see it implemented is pressing a tool in the toolbar, followed by pressing on the paper, dropping the timecode onto that spot. Maybe long pressing the tool could allow you to reset…

  13. vorrei che nel prossimo aggiornamento nella categoria testo venga aggiunta la possibilità di giustificare il testo invece di esserci solo allineamento al centro, a destra o a sinistra.

  14. Basically add an option where you could hide the toolbar, tabs and top menu to allow for a full screen note taking experience. Right now the toolbar is useful, sometimes, but extremely big as it takes up like 20% of the screen which does not feel very modern.

    Could add a small toggle for this pretty easily.

  15. I would like a folder navigation option that would display the folder structure and allow for quick navigation like is in Outline or OneNote. The folder structure is good but unless I have preset favorites, navigation is very tedious.

  16. Apple recently allows you to hold a photo and turn objects into a sticker element. Imagine how useful it would be to use this feature to edit handwriting notes after they are written.

    To be able to take a photo of my whiteboard full of notes or a concept map... and then able to edit the words/ shift objects just like it was written in my goodnotes instead.

  19. I use Goodnotes for taking notes.
    It would be nice if I could use the relocating function(the red one in the pic) in the zoom window.

    Everytime I move my handwritings I should turn on the zoom window again and it is very annoying.

  20. It would be great to have the tool in use attached to a page.
    For instance, on one page, I have a pdf open and I use the highlight tool.
    On another page, I take notes with the pen.
    Going back and forth from one page to the other, I have to change the tool each time.
    (It was working this way on the previous version of GoodNotes)
