  2. In other apps, you can upload an image (of a whiteboard with text on it, for example), and convert the text to ink on your screen. It allows editing the text (instead of just placing the original image in your notebook). This can help me a lot!!!

  3. When importing a document to Goodnotes, besides “import to current” and “import to a new document”, also add the ability to “import to existing document” and browse to the document and page where you want to insert. This would be more convenient than having to open the document/page you want before importing. That interrupts my work flow. Thank you.

  4. Wäre super, wenn man die Seitenränder individuell einstellen könnte, damit es auch mit den Vorgaben von Universitäten übereinstimmt. (Z.b. für Abgaben)

  5. I often teach math using goodnotes. It would be great, if I could turn on the visibility of the ruler. So my students could see, where I put the ruler and how I meassure.

  6. I get note templates and homework packets by lessons for classes, and I like to keep all the material of the same category in the same document by inserting the new lesson notes or the homework at the end of the document. It is a hustle to scroll to the first page of the new note template/ homework (when they are multi-paged documents) to add then add it to the outline. Having the first page automatically added to the outline with the new document's name as the heading would be really helpful!

  7. While I love the current organization options, I think it would be amazing if we could be able to move folders/notebooks around ourselves (or manually). Like a manual option as well.

  8. I mainly use typing through text boxes and use multiple fonts.

    Previously, there was a feature where recently used fonts were displayed at the top and could be changed to that font when pressed, but this feature disappeared after an update.

    Currently, it only shows the recently used fonts, so if I want to change to that font, I have to find it again.

    I really hope this feature will be restored again.

  9. As an secure organisation, we only allow Apple Volume purchase program (VPP) apps as per https://www.apple.com/au/business-docs/VPP_Business_Guide_EN_Oc16_ANZ.pdf.

    Since the public app store is not allowed in our managed iOS / iPAD OS devices, can you provide a feature such as sign in for the paid subscription to the VPP apps version of Good Notes.

  10. I wish for a feature that creates hyperlinks from headlines from imported files (pdf, image ...) and connects them to similar headlines that are hand written in the following.
    Here is the scenario where I imagine this function:
    When I get an excercise sheet at university, I import the pdf file to Goodnotes and start to solve the exercises in the following (handwritten). Because most exercises start with "Exercise 1" or something like that and I start my answers with the same headline. For easier navigation it would be helpful if Goodnotes recognizes these same headlines and creates a hyperlink…

  11. I wish for an interactive page numbering tool, that let's you place a field for autogenerated page numbers in your document or just a section of it.

    Here is my idea (translated by google):
    I love taking notes at university with Goodnotes. However, I find it cumbersome to add page numbers by hand to large documents. I use my own template for Goodnotes, which has a free field for page numbers at the bottom. I would like a function in Goodnotes that allows me to automatically generate page numbers and place them where I want.
    My idea includes a kind…

  12. The new tape feature is great, however I would like to be able to write over it to see if my answers match. I know it is possible to write on tape but it’s impossible to erase it without erasing notes underneath. Please make it so that I can erase text that is only above the tape.

  13. Please add the the translation tool like in every other app. Currently we can only click on „define“ and then search for the web when highlighting/long pressing a word.

  14. It would be really helpful if it was possible to stack pages, meaning that when scrolling through the notebook only the first page of that stack (for example a PDF or PowerPoint) would be visible and you would have to swipe left/right to see the rest. This way it would be easier to keep an overview and find notes more quickly without having to scroll to through dozens of pages, especially when you insert lots of multi-page documents/powerpoints.

  16. I heard about Goodnotes from Samuel Suresh, and one of the things that impressed me was the ability to quickly create digital designs that combine handwriting and solid backgrounds that would be much more difficult by hand. Here is an example video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mHPO69egAcA. Thing is, Goodnotes has abysmal shape support. Every application I’ve ever used that has shape support you can change the fill and usually stroke color. Not Goodnotes.

    To the GoodNotes Team: Is improved shape support on the future roadmap? Take Freeform: You can quickly add zillions of shapes which are fully customizable. You don’t need to…

  17. When starting up the app on the Mac, the window always has the same size.
    So, always the first action is to resize it, so I can see my relevant folders.
    If the app would just keep the size across restarts, it would be a more fluent work experience.

  19. Hello, I would like to transfer the passages in the text that I have marked with the highlighter into a summary. The summary should work in the same way as in the LiquidText or MargineNote 4 program.

  20. Please i beg you it would be so much more convenient to have access to folders by having the option to expand on the left side of the screen like how the apple filing system works on files or finder. It is such a simple change i don't understand why it is not being implemented. thank you
