  1. I have lost several text conversions, simply by an errant touch of the stylus outside the selection boundary. It would be very beneficial to have to confirm such deletion. Not to mention abating the urge to chunk GoodNotes over the side. Thank you for considering it.

  3. It would be nice to be able to change the thickness of the pencils, especially the highlighter to the size that you want and that is not limited.

  5. Ich fänd es außerordentlich hilfreich, wenn man einen bestimmten Ordner festlegen kann, in den die Mails gespeichert werden und NICHT automatisch nur die oberste Ebenemöglich ist,

  6. It would be great to have an option for dictionaries, so when we read some PDFs in a foreign language, we can make notes and just click and translate if needed.

    I know there are reading apps to do that, but they don´t provide as good tools for notes as yours...

  7. In the miniatur view of the pages it is not possible to duplicate pages anymore.
    The only way is to insert a new page.

  8. If I’m teaching, I don’t want my photo library to be displayed on the zoom lecture while I’m giving a lecture if I accidentally touch the photos icon. There needs to be an option to deny GoodNotes completely to my photos library. Currently the photos tool will insert an image from your library if you touch the document while it’s selected, which displays your photos for EVERYONE TO SEE!!!!!!!

  9. I and anyone remotely teaching is in need of 16:9 aspect ratio size notebooks. There’s none supplied. The problem is with none 16:9 notebook sizes is the appearance of black frames from both sides.

    This is the only reason I have to use Notability instead.

  10. Currently the actions that can be performed on a selection show up as a horizontal list, which means that they are very spread out and require relatively large movements to reach (for instance "delete" is to the far right).

    I propose replacing it with a wheel-like menu, where the actions are indicated by icons rather than spelled out, like in the attached drawing. This would make all actions easily accessible without moving the pen very far.

  12. Currently, I import all my journal articles into goodnotes to review, but I also make a summary powerpoint slide of each one. As I cannot copy and paste text i.e. long titles and author names, I now use the pdf, read and edit as needed in pdf form to make it easier, then import it really just for storage

  13. After "objects" was added, when using the lasso tool the "copy" option was moved to the second page of choosable options. As this is my most used option, it would be nice to have it back on page 1 of the option window. It's annoying to have to do one click more to get to second page every time.

  14. I would appreciate it if it was possible to not download all documents on every device but rather save them in the cloud and download them when needed. Looking at how it is right now GoodNotes takes up way too much space on my devices and i would like for that to change.

  16. I Personally have a Microsoft surface that has touchscreen and a pen. It was offered as a gift, and I don’t have the funds to buy a new device, so with that the features of goodnotes will be great of windows.

  17. Seyes template or french school ruling template would be nice. It is possible though to copy one as a pdf and use it as a background, but this would be a nice add on.

  18. A "back to reading" option when browsing in the goodnotes files system would be most appreciated.

    So say I leave a document I was reading in order to browse through the GoodNotes system, it would be nice to have a button which would send me back to where I was reading when I left the document.
