  1. I often scan documents by using GoodNote's function. Scan docs then write down memo with Apple Pencil on GoodNotes.
    Most Hiragana and Katakana are ok, but Kanji isn't. For example, printed word is "揉捏", but recognized string will be "探程" , "操探" etc. It happens even though scanned image is clear. Those characters' shape is totally different from the original string for Japanese or Kanji users.

    I would be appreciate if OCR could be improved.
    I also understood kanji character's shape is complicated and OCR library might be limited. So correcting OCRed string can be alternative.

  2. I totally love your Full page text typing tool and use it daily. Especially the Cornell Notes template is my favorite to use with it. But unfortunately it takes a lot of effort to move a text box to the height of the text so that it looks nice and uniform. I would like to see a second frame on the left side of the Cornell Notes template in addition to the full page typing frame. This would be very helpful.

  4. When hitting the return key for zoom window have it return to the next line under the first character of the previous written line. When taking hierarchical notes it’s annoying to have to constantly move the box manually and truly makes it unusable for taking notes this way. Adding a dotted reference to the start of the first character would also be helpful.

  5. Please add a Footnote tools. Sometime when taking notes (either by hand writing or keyboard), I want to refer an information from something I wrote to any specific document or any format of information I need to put on which already saved on my ‘IPad books library’ (e.g. .pdf) by adding a footnote. When tapping the footnote, I can browse and choose any doc from my library, open the source, and highlighted the specific information I want to pointed if such reference is an ebook-pdf which contains many pages. Therefore, the exact highlighted information will immediately and automatically show up…

  6. Add Zoom Percentage, please. The zoom affects the way we write and therefore if we'd like to keep our notes consistent in size and neatness. Adding a zoom percentage display would allow us to know what zoom size we prefer and always set our zoom percentages to that number.

  8. Some stickers (for me especially sticky notes) are longer than it's necessary.. It would be awesome if trere was a crop tool for stickers and images.

  9. While using the app, especially in landscape mode to view lecture slides which are typically 16:9 inches you're unable to zoom out enough to view multiple slides at once.

    You're able to do so while holding down but when released it snaps back to the initial size. Please it possible to remain at the perspective it was while zoomed out when you release the screen.

  10. I got GoodNotes for my Ipad and love it. I assume the account is associated with my Apple ID on the device. I have now downloaded your Windows app, but it gives me Microsoft or Google sign-in options... so I can't log into the Goodnotes account that my iPad is using. Could add an Apple ID sign-in option for the Windows app?

  11. Lines telling users that what they’ve written down is align with others in another line. Also, when using a squared paper, I mean now we can move it freely without any lock when we move pass through those grid lines. But it would be better, if the words we’ve written down are stayed or locked on the grid line.

  13. I think, tabs and notebooks should remember several settings, such as the scaling of the notebook, the pen style, and probably several other settings.

  14. In case of a big book it’s really hard to navigate through pages. Even though there is an option in the bar to switch to a different page, it is time taking. You can just add an icon below or allow the user to tap the page number notification below to quickly switch to a particular page number as in Xodo and other apps. Otherwise it’s really time consuming.

  16. In current version of “Study Set”, I cannot edit the content on the flash cards, which is really very inconvenient, since you always find some mistakes or imperfections on your own handwriting. In this case, I sensitively hope you can allow editing by Apple Pencil (everyone use only fingers to flip flash cards) directly when in the “Smart Learn” mode as well as “Practice” mode. This function really matters and completely reasonable, please add it ASAP. THANKS!

  17. Como está chegando ao GoodNotes 5 o modo Digitação seria excelente que adicionassem mais funções de texto!! Especialmente o parágrafo justificado, de maneira a manter o texto perfeito na folha, sem quebras de linha, etc… Por favor, vejam isso o mais rápido possível!! Obrigado! Uso o GoodNotes tanto no Mac, para digitar, quanto no iPad para escrever!

  19. This way, each heading can have a user-defined default color, and you don't have to change it every time.

    This would pair nicely with keyboard shortcuts.

  20. Drawing Mathematical equations on a graph by hand is pretty exhausting. Especially, when Goodnotes doesnt really make it possible to draw them accurate.

    I would love to add a window to my GoodNote document where I can interactively plot a function like f(x)= x + ln(x).
    A kind of GeoGebra implementation in the document would be cool.
    That would help all the people who
    -are still in school
    -are studying something scientific
    -are working in a technical profession
