  2. Make it more user friendly on computers not just iPads…every time I copy and past something from my MacBook GoodNotes shuts down. Super irritating.

  4. I think the reason for so many questions about handwriting looking spidery or messy is that the sensitivity settings do not have a lower-bounds option. What I mean is that as well as the maximum pressure, there should also be the lowest pressure at which any pen creates any mark. I can just rest my stylus under it's own weight and it creates a clear mark. We should be able to adjust the lower bound setting so that we can control how firmly we have to press before any 'ink' is laid down.

    My writing in Procreate using the brushes…

  5. Putting notes in a folder is convenient, but it would also be very convenient to be able to sort or search based on user-defined tags. Apple notes or Gmail are good examples.

  6. I'm unable to add a template with multiple pages. Not allowing this makes it where I cannot use the auto-zoom feature because it zooms too far down and cannot be adjusted unless it's a template. PLEASE FIX!

  7. It would be wonderful to create a file (A) that allowed me to compile pages from many other documents/files (B, C, D.....) into file A's outline instead of copying and importing into file A. This would help tremendously with research papers and consolidating information on one topic from multiple sources.

  8. A system which allows the user to create a shortcut that when a word/shape is written/drawn, it is automatically replaced with a sticker that is premade.

    for examples:
    writing xyz would insert a axis system sticker created by the user and assigned to xyz

  9. I think it would be easier if we had an option that allowed us to choose which opaqueness we wanted instead of having to overlap the same area again and again. Especially for someone like me that wants the overlapped areas to line up perfect.

  10. I would like to be able to mark which flash cards I don’t want to study, just like you can mark a page as favourite. Because I made flashcards for my entire chapter, but I only need to study certain things from that chapter. It would be nice to just be able to disable s the flashcards you don’t want to study.

  11. When magnifying a pdf file in vertical scrolling state, if it is enlarged more than a certain percentage, it cannot be fixed to move left and right.

    I want to continue using the pdf file by enlarging it to fit the iPad's horizontal aspect ratio, but it's so inconvenient.

  12. I usually screenshot parts of a pdf (i.e. questions) and then move them onto a new page (to solve).

    Right now I have to:
    - Select the region
    - Select "Take a Screenshot"
    - Wait for a pop up window to show up
    - Press the "Share Button"
    - Wait for another pop up window to show up
    - Press the "Copy" button
    - Wait for both pop up windows to close
    - Then hold the lasso tool and press "Paste"

    It would be great if I can just:
    - Select the region
    - Select "Take a Screenshot"
    - Then…

  13. Hopefully, this is something simple but basically bold the first half of a word as seen in the Bionic Reading example: https://bionic-reading.com

    This helps reading drastically.

  14. Hi,
    I have used goodnotes for a long time. I was just working on my Mac and goodnotes in not even open and I got a popup (not a notification!) asking if I was enjoying goodnotes. I believe this is a violation as I do not have notifications enabled for Goodnotes on my mac. How do I make sure this never happens again? I think it is absolutely unacceptable for any app-especially if it is not even being used-to randomly open a popup on my computer. Please address this important issue immediately as this is a professional computer that I…

  15. This is very annoying when reading over the stuff you wrote. My Apple Pencil is somehow very sensitive when it covers to double tap gestures, so this is a must have.

  16. Since it takes a lot of time to write flashcards by hand, it would be amazing to have a feature to create flashcards from the notes directly.
    GoodNotes already possesses the ability to recognize the written text. It would be great to add the option to create flashcards by "highlighting"/marking the text you want to create a flashcard with and the app creates the flashcard automatically.
    I feel like this would help a lot of students who have to read a lot so they can save time in making flashcards.

  18. There are latex keyboards i am using to insert equations as images,

    but,

    it is time consuming, and all the equations i just wrote on time when in classroom cannot be converted once this guys are on my notes....

    what about ocr laze to convert those?

    what about a new concept?, make your book from your notes... a beatifull and nice book...

    take your notes just in time and then convert it to a book... a pdf to share with your pals without showing your/my awfull hand writting style...

    lets call it autoedition.... do you remember that when PCs rised…

  19. When highlighting a word or sentence in an imported pdf, tap to enable a hidden note embedded within the highlight. The reason I say imported pdfs is because most files do not have space to take notes on the individual pages so embedding your note within the highlight provides space to take notes where the note applies while keeping the file looking clean.

    i.e. the definition of a word in the middle of a paragraph

  20. I’d love a feature that would allow you to easily select all highlighted (with the highlighter tool) material to copy and paste into another note. When studying, or when reading over documents or notes, I tend to be “old school” and highlight relevant material for further review or further studying. I would then love to be able to take all of my highlighted stuff and copy it into a condensed note for studying only what I’ve highlighted. Hopefully that made sense!
