  1. The only thing goodnotes is lacking is the ability to lock images so you can not move it, say i have a background image, notes on top and another image on top of the notes i could not lock the background image and just move the top notes and image, it's so frustrating for journaling.

  6. Hi, I am a mechanical engineering student and use good notes a lot for lecture notes and calculations. For quick drawings of periodic functions it would be nice, if good notes would recognize sin-/cos- shaped drawings of functions. Like the spline recognition, you could add control points to adjust phase, amplitude etc. and number of displayed periods.
    Kind regards, Simon

  8. When converting/recognizing hand-written text to typed text, I am missing an option to REPLACE the handwriting IN THE DOSUMENT with typed text instead.
    At them moment, i can only export the converted text, which seems pretty useless (for me). Please add an option to replace it directly in the document. Thank you!

  9. Add the ability to draw a closed shape around some text and suggest converting the shape to lasso.
    This way I can draw a circle around the text I want to move or erase, click on the 'Tooltip' image that offers to convert the shape to lasso selection, and move it or erase it without using any toolbar buttons.

  10. Share folders (like a cloud)
    Comment tracking: See who left which comment.
    PDFs are really large when exported -> Takes some effort to reduce their size

  11. If you've done enough research into analysing your competitors I'd assume you've heard of Notion's toggle feature. I love it, if it's not rocket science, just hire a Harvard Comp Sci major and get it sorted. Cheers Goodnotes

  12. Can we have keyboard shortcuts for most features on the app pls ahah. Like people are actually starting to use the app on MacBooks or even when on iPads most people use keyboards. like cmd+f for search and stuff. NGL Notion is pretty good at this, get on their level goodnotes.

  13. Hi there,
    1) In LiquidText, you have the ability to create links not only between different pages of the same book but across different books in the app. I want GoodNotes to implement it in pdf textbooks and digital handwriting notes and it will make study and research very easy.
    2) In LiquidText again there is a feature in which you pinch to collapse the pages so that you could compare the material between two different pages of the same book. It’s awesome and it will make studies very easy and productive. So please work on it
    3) Please either…

  14. Las carpetas, libretas, documentos... que aparecen al abrir la app se ven demasiado pequeños cuando los ponemos en modo vista como lista; es una lástima ya que es un modo de visualización muy práctico pero debido a que el tamaño que presentan los iconos de la versión para el iPad es demasiado pequeño, no queda para nada vistoso.

  15. It would be useful to be able to segregate the pages that have been marked favourites into the folders that they originally came from.
    i.e. Where date, name and type are selectable as sorting methods at the top of the page, add folder so any folders with notebooks that have bookmarked pages in are shown.
    The idea is being able to find pages that have questions attached to them on a subject basis (denoted by the folder they come from).
    Thanks

  16. I’m learning a tonal language and would love to be able to create separate recordings for my notes. One Note has audio recording ability, but it’s ONE single clip. I’d like to be able to write a word or phrase and put a sound clip associated with it.

    A wolf sounds like :
    A coyote sounds like:

    Just make this feature already = I see request for recording that is 9 years old ....you’re so close to a perfect product

  17. imrpoved text processing like oneNote, Notes, pages or word.
    please add more text processing features for use on macs like writing on a page without the limiting textbox, list features etc.
    goal: preparing notes during a phonecall with the keyboard, adding texts, lists or preparing a meeting summary directly in GN instead of preparing in Notes or other apps and pasting it to GN afterwards.
    this is the reason our workflow still relies on other party apps instead of organizing everything in GN.
    love to see more macbook - keyboard/mouse text processing features!

  19. After a screenshot is done, and we've resized it down, and we make another copy ... it would be awesome to have that 2nd copy be the same size of the previous (which we cropped ourselves) rather than the very 1st original copy.

  20. Instead of having to add a tag word on each document and then exclude the tag, make a checkbox option. This should be available for folders and individual documents. Default would be backup.
