  2. Feature to apply one or more labels to a single page of a notebook.
    Similar to how email labels work within GMail.

    This is a different idea or for a different use than the ‘outline’ thumbnails. The outline feature seems to serve best as a table of contents. My idea here is of a combination of a table of contents + index. I realize that more than one outline label can be assigned to a page.

    Include a thumbnail screen that would show all pages associated with a label.
    The thumbnail screen could be dedicated to 1 notebook [document].
    Or…

  3. I often organize, review, and make comments on multiple large documents that I have imported to Goodnotes. The new comments feature is a great addition, but its value is limited for my use because the pages with comments are not flagged in any way, nor am I able to view all comments. I am forced to either bookmark any page with a comment or add those pages to pdf outlines, which is redundant and crowds up the outlines and favorites.

    It would be very useful if all comments in a document could be viewed collectively in an outline format, with…

  5. PDF around the page, not very smooth, can you improve the page effect? I'm referring to the sensitivity of PDF page-turning, as I didn't have this problem with Notability

  6. allow the user to draw a determined stroke and then allow the user to set that as a stroke type for a line he draws. like if the user wants to draw a wavy line where two are parallel to one another or draw a line that is just a repeating design like with a dotted line that uses for example the drawing of an ice cream instead of the dot.

  7. 안드로이드는 테블릿용으로 밖에 안됩니다. 펜이 있는갤럭시폰의 경우는 사용하기 매우 힘듭니다.

    아이폰에서는 아주 사용하기 좋은데, 왜 이렇게 운영하는지 이해하기 힘듭니다.

  9. It is disappointing that you cannot reorganize the comments added to different pages in the order you would like to. And seems that once you add a comment, the counting never stop even after DELETING some of them.

  11. Currently you have to long press a link, then choose open link from a menu. This is very time consuming, especially if you are using a daily planner template. yes, you can put the app into "view mode" then it will work in single tap. but that is also time consuming. Please give us the open to single tap in the edit mode. You may be saying "but a single tap will appear as though it's the user trying to write with the pen tool". Well, you could do a little gesture recognition and determine if it's a finger or…

  12. I'd like to be able to edit PDF annotations I made previously. Currently, if I add text to a PDF file, I can edit it while the PDF is still open. But, if I close the file and then it reopen it, the text annotations have been "flattened"...and are not editable. I need to be able to continue editing those annotations in the future.

  13. Our teacher always sends us PDFs with the vocabulary to be learned (in tables), it would be very practical if one index card per vocabulary would be automatically created so you don’t have to copy everything.

    It would be super practical if you could set per index card box, whether and if so when Goodnotes should send you a notification to learn. For example, every day or only once a week. And that the unknown cards are always queried and a few known queried to repeat.

    Also it would be good if documents from e.g. Excel/ Numbers or Powerpoint could…

  14. I want to backup my notebooks periodically to my encrypted drive service proton drive however the automatic backup feature only supports a select few services. I know supporting new services can be difficult so I noticed that my iPad has a folder that my proton drive app already automatically syncs to my cloud. If you could backup periodically to this folder on my iPad it would work universally.

  17. Laser pen .....
    Doing rough Work with laser pen on document is good as a part of learning process
    But the only drawback is it gets vanished too soon i suggest Good notes team to atleast increase its disappearing time to 5- 6 seconds instead of existing 1-2 second when apple pencil is lifted up from screen :)

  19. Goodnotes for Mac would be an awesome presentation tool if you could hide the toolbar etc. and just show the content whilst in editing mode. Similar effect to "Mirror Presenter Page" on iPad.

    With the one key shortcuts to change tools and a small Wacom tablet and pen it would be great to annotate PDFs and then move on the next slide.
