  1. I’d like for Goodnotes to have the ability to scan handwritten text on paper and copy into Goodnotes pages. For instance, using Goodnotes to take a picture scan of handwritten notes in a notebook, and turning that scan into a handwritten page in an existing or new document in Goodnotes. I often find that I don’t always have my iPad with me, and may need to jot something down on paper quickly. Being able to import these notes as something other than pictured would be an amazing feature and time-saver.

  2. I need to read lots of PDF documents for my work. However every page of PDF document is always occupied by tons of words and almost no empty space for making handwriting note because it needs lots of space.

    I switch to GoodNotes from GoodReader, and I really need this function, if what I described is not clear enough, please check the screenshot I upload.

  4. Hi Guys,

    Firstsly i absolutny love Your app. There is so much that it can be used for or more.
    But having to work in remotely so much now ones does realise that graphic representation of a meeting or an idea, design or a product is the best notes ever.
    Thus I started learning sketchnoting. There is no app for it yet, there are books of course, and most people would choose the paper and pencil. But we in digital product design prefer apps. I see this as part of GoodNotes.

    You show so much with sketchnotes as capabilities of…

  5. Hello,
    I´m one of the new M1 Ipad Pro user´s and the new Ipad has 8GB of Ram (or 16) and the goodnotes app still can´t have 4 tabs loaded at the same time.

    If I have 3 Tabs open I can swap between them without them loading again but if I open a fourth tab every other tab needs to reload again and that shouldn´t be the case since the new Ipad has way more RAM and so goodnotes should make us of that

  6. Would you be able to create a “touch” feature icon so that it supports hotlinks on pdf?

    I have hotlinks in my content page of my pdf to navigate to the correct pages, one click and i jump straight to the page instead of flipping through 30 pages.

  7. It would be so much easier to maneuver between notes if there was a sidebar present at the side (that you could hide/show so as not to impede on work flow) and it would show all your folders and the notes in the corresponding folders.

    So if you needed a specific document all you have to do is tap the side or swipe left and you'll find all your folders ready to go! bam bam bam!

  8. As someone that's desperate to start jotting notes, I want to start writing asap. Currently, the quick note starts with the last tool you used. So if it's eraser it's quite annoying.

  9. This is to emulate what Apple Notes can do when tapping the pencil on the lock screen.
    By combining with automation, we could open the last viewed note quickly.

  14. First , I chooses GoodNotes but when i when I know the two things about Noteshelf is that-
    1) we can recor d and also import voice record from file and also we can manage on page where we need .
    2) and also individual file lock
    Really this attract me and I switched on Noteshelf..

    If GoodNotes also add this feature in his app then it will be great.

    Please review this feature, I also attached this in comments
    Please find it

  16. Dear GoodNotes team,
    I really love your app. I’m a student who started using an iPad for school stuff during the pandemic. Since i started using GoodNotes i fell in love with the powerfull simplicity of the app. There is just one feature i would love to see added.
    I would really enjoy the option to create pages who are as long as I’d like them to be. My idea is a pages that can fit a whole topic and you never painfully have to tun pages during writing. Once you are done with the entry you can cut of…

  17. Hello,
    it would be great, to get GoodNotes (iOS) in other MDM-stores (not Apple), for example "relution", to offer an additional managing of Apps for divices on other platforms.

  18. I love the auto-backup feature. However, I find it annoying that it doesn't upload my custom headings. If I want to do so, I shall upload every pdf manually.

  20. 我希望能夠在iPad橫向放置的時候,能夠一次顯示兩頁的資料。新增這個功能讓我們可以自行選擇及設定。
    這樣在瀏覽樂譜的時候將會方便很多!!!
