  1. An easy way to upload pdf with powerpoint slides on it so that it creates a few lines underneath or next to the slide when uploading it to GoodNotes. That way we can write our notes during a lecture next to the slide instead of cramping al of the information on the actual slide itself.

  2. An setting u can turn on so that if u start writing something a TEMPORARY straight line appears underneath your text that u can then write on. That way even if u are writing on blank paper (for example powerpoint slides), you can still write in a straight line. When u stop writing the line disappears (after approximately 5 seconds so you can lift your pencil up for a space between words in one sentence)

    This would be a very small but truly amazing feature!

  3. I did not find any information on whether I can use the dictation function with Goodnotes, so I assume I can't.

  4. When you you have a note open, clicking on its name disclosure arrow reveals where it is in the folder hierarchy. It would be great if one could click on one of those folders, and go there (just as one does in OS X). It would save a lot step-by-step navigation, particularly if all you want to do is (also) open another note in the same folder.

  5. There’s a bug where when you resize text with the lasso tool and it snaps to a diagonal angle at all when resizing it will then not snap back to being straight again. It always has a slight slant and this drives me crazy! Also, if we could freely resize without it snapping that would be great!

  6. Can there be a calligraphy pen option, a gel pen option that has the glitter color pallet, and a roller ballpoint pen. Also when you lasso text it shows what color the text was in and if you reside text you can spread it out horizontally or longitudinally and not both ways. Also when you try to use certain highlighter colors together the darker color will be on top even if you’re trying to have it as the shadow

  7. Currently only way to change colors of pages and written text (highlighter and pen) is to lasso change the color.

    Add an option that would open a menu with all page formats, highlighter and pen colors of a current document, with ability to remap each of them.

    This would introduce simpler way to change the whole notes template, as some people (including me) draw on black paper with white pen strokes that are not really sensefull to print on white paper.

    Example of black paged notes with yellow highlighter, white & red pen writing:

    • used template: A4 Black Paper
    • used…

  8. When importing pdfs the page numbering starts on the cover and pages like the contents page are counted which means on things like textbook the page numbers don’t match up with the book in real life which makes it hard to work with especially in class

  9. When drawing/writing something without lifting the pen, so in one line and then using the eraser to split it in half as example, the selection tool still handles the now separate objects as one.

    As shown in picture 3 both parts are moved although only one is selected.

  10. I love the option of using pre-existing Hyperlinks (digital planners etc.) but I often feel the need to add hyperlinks while working on a document. While taking notes in a class, sometimes websites, videos or useful tools are being mentioned, that I would love to link directly to my notes!

  11. When I draw a square with the highlighting tool and hold down on it to let it lock and create perfectly straight lines, i‘d like to see the option to turn on „fill the square“ as with the geometric tool or the pencil :)

  12. Quick duplicate: lasso/select object, tap, hold, drag, & release.
    Options for selected objects/elements: add ability to lock object(s) (to prevent erasing or moving) or group multiple objects together.

  13. Make the pen sizes a lot larger so we can fill something in faster or draw larger text epically for note book covers, titles, etc.

  14. Similar to on Microsoft word, when placing an around text, the text should have an option to automatically wrap around the image in different ways.

  15. Ich nutzte das Tool viel um Plakate für eine Ausbildung zu gestalten. Für mich wäre es extrem Hilfreich wenn eine Funktion Keilstift hinzugefügt würde.

  16. Using the IOS 15 native OCR function to improve the search efficiency, you can identify the content of the scanned version of the text when establishing a text index, which will make the software more efficient.I don't know if IOS has open this API.

  17. Clicking the toolbar in the GN5 Mac app expands the window to large view, and clicking again returns it to standard size.

    Basically, quickening the time it takes to widen the GN view WITHOUT actually going into FULL SCREEN mode.

    Should be a quick fix.

  18. when i tried to upload my notes and folders ..... on One drive as PDFs

    i tried to download them again on Good notes

    i found the PDFs annotations are constant and cannot be edited again

    on the other hand, i tried to do the same manually on some files and repeated

    the process and found the annotations editable, but it would take very much

    time to do this on every file in every folder.

  20. It would be very helpful if you add hyperlink and adding shortcuts for the same folder or notes to easily navigate in the app
    and to make many shortcuts of the same notes and put them to different folders
