  1. Good day,

    I come to you absolutely begging to please release goodnotes for android cellphones!

    Us android users are suffering with apps that do not match the power of goodnotes!

    I have goodnotes on my iPad and I absolutely love using it , however I don't take my iPad everywhere and would much prefer if it was available on my Samsung cellphone.
    I know that goodnotes is available for selected Samsung tablets, but I would really prefer to stick to my iPad and my Samsung cell phone.

    Please help us android users out!

  2. It would be nice to have a selective lasso option during collaboration so when collaborators write over each other, they can select their own (or the others) writing and moving it instead of erasing/moving both.

  3. I wish I could select only the highlight in the page. It is under the Handwriting toggle. I wish the pen and highlight were separate for the lasso tool so I can selected them individually.

  4. When arranging objects I would like to be able to send back and forward some items between items. If I have more than two overlapping objects, it’s a pain to place objects in the order I want. For example, there are apps the send the object completely to the back or front, but I can also send forward or backwards the object not entirely to the back. I don’t want to send back an object but then have to send front the other and the other to have them in the correct arrangement. This happens when working a collage or…

  5. Sometimes we users forget to stop the audio recording, and wake up the next day to a notebook that has been recording for 12+ hours. Currently there is no way to trim the audio recording. It would be great if it were possible to trim it so only the part we're interested in remains in the notebook :D

  6. I would like to be able to lock my horizontal position as I scroll vertically along a page. If I am trying to edit a document and zoom in very close to a blank section, it is difficult to determine whether my page is moving horizontally during my vertical scrolls. A lock button to prevent horizontal scrolling or vertical scrolling in some applications of goodnotes would be helpful in having peace of mind while scrolling in a relatively blank area of a document.

  7. I'd love to pause the recording and resume without creating multiple recording files in my notebook. The functionality to edit recordings would be great as well.

  8. I wish you can develop a page that users can choose and design the theme that the users like, not based on their iOS appearance. Hope you allow the users to create their own themes.

  9. I think it would be very helpful to have the ability to give the files colour tags similar to the files app by apple. And then maybe a select option on the sidebar where you can select between your colour tags.

  10. I know it's been asked a few times but none recently (from what I have seen). I think it would be the best addition for people like me who write in cursive so that our handwriting is simplified (because I put so much pressure on the pen to write neatly). Procreate has this option and it's so helpful !

  11. Currently in Goodnotes 6 the only way that a generic curve can be approximated appears to be by a parabola, as a Maths major it would be helpful to be able to draw higher order curves (curves with more nodes) as the only way to do that currently appears to be by joining these basic curves which makes the overall curve appear to have kinks in it, adding an option to allow the user to control the number of nodes would be very helpful and appreciated.

  12. I love the new feature that involves internal links (linking to a seperate page within your document) however it is only accessible for a text box.

    I write most of my notes by hand with my Apple Pencil and would love to be able to use the lasso to select my handwritten notes and attach an internal link to other pages. The same could be said for elements/stickers

  13. 目前功能非常鸡肋,无法移动,只能修改名字,和实际学习时候需要用的大纲完全不一样,应该把自定义大纲做到自由移动并且可以形成父子层级的大纲
    要不然这个功能“自定义大纲”真是一点用处都没有,假如你学到第20面,发现第10面忘了做大纲,那第10面的大纲就只能放到第20面后面,而不是可以自由移动到第10面,这个功能很简单,但是这么久都没实现,非常影响学习

  16. It could be useful to drag a part of text from a page to another one without having to cut and paste every time. It would make the note-taking faster.

  17. In my opinion, it would be great to have the option of exporting folders with all subfolders and the associated PDFs together. Currently it is very tedious to export folders of completed projects from Goodnotes. In my case, the projects don't get any smaller and so it takes longer and longer to prepare all the files for the backup. I think this function would be very useful.

  18. My handwriting is so messy that I write with a ruler in daily life. I tried it with the ruler on the screen, and it’s not possible.
    The words are ‘sucked’ like a magnet to the ruler and automatically draws a line.

    It would be soooooo nice to be able to have the ruler not be ‘magnetic’ and write on it.

    I can’t read my own handwriting without ruler and it looks very very stupid when I’m holding a real life ruler against my ipad screen in meetings…

  20. I want to use my note as a one session study. I mean I have mathematical equations to solve but I don’t want to copy paste them to another page or deleting my original solutions. So I want to study mode as when I press to that mode I can do whatever I want then when my studying session is over it can reverse everything I do.
