  2. I often have to switch from searching by name, to the most recent document. Having the banner with date, name on the top center of the screen was very convenient. Either I changed a setting or the banner was removed and now a much more tedious process of going through the drop down menu. Please return the banner to the top of the page, or make it an option like "header".

  3. Ok, for this, the existing features are: skip 10 sec, sidebar, transcribe, live(recorded) edit

    I just want more features: export audio, and fast forward with options (x2, x3, x.5, etc)

  4. We should be able to organize different screens differently.
    Say that I have a main page full of different folders, with content inside each folder. I would like to be able to order the folders by title, but the content by last edited.

  5. Fix Goodnotes Storage Management – This Is a Technical Disaster

    Goodnotes’ storage architecture is fundamentally broken. My actual library size is ~6 GB, yet the app is bloated to 27 GB on-device. This clearly indicates severe issues with cache invalidation, temporary file persistence, and orphaned/ghost data retention.

    Instead of performing routine garbage collection and data compaction, Goodnotes seems to endlessly accumulate redundant assets (thumbnails, partial syncs, stale caches). This is textbook storage leakage — exactly what happens when an app doesn’t properly implement lifecycle management for its local data.

    For an app marketed as a professional-grade productivity tool, this level…

  6. Game changer app Rock Daily Planner, combine what I was looking for since first Apple pencil came. Calendar based notes with hand writing. It can replace my go- around notes management where with templates I simulate functional calendar …. My most desired approach for note taking (in business)

  7. It would be really helpful to have something that warns the user that there is writing already on the document to prevent overwriting. Sometimes when writing on a page, it doesn't fully load for a very long time and turns up blank.

  8. I always extend the height of my pages manually when i reach the end so everything stays on one page. That's why I propose an alternative to the "create new page" button when this happens.

  9. Ability to connect sticky notes with connectors to enable true mindmapping experience.
    Currently it's available only for shapes, which allows building quick diagrams and flowcharts. But it's not powerfull and flexible enough for true mindmapping, which requires sticky notes and content that they store.
    Apps like Miro, Apple Freeform have this feature, for example.

  10. Goodnotes has been added to windows which is great, however the user experience is poor when it comes to using something like a Wacom tablet connected to the PC. Often times strokes will be cut off half way through writing or deleted entirely I imagine this could be fixed with a quick update.

  12. I find the application very good and practical, but I think it could be improved a lot if some key functions were added. For example, the possibility of creating tables similar to those in Word, with the option to give them custom colors and formats, which would help a lot to organize the information in a visual and orderly way. It would also be very useful to have brushes to highlight, underline or customize annotations in a more dynamic way. In addition, I consider it important that documents can be sorted according to my preferences and not only by date…

  13. I wanna say yes and and improve the Index Post-It idea. It makes navigating in the digital notebook almost impossible when you don‘t have guiding index post-it‘s on the side, especially if the content of the study is already quite big by it‘s nature, like the German Grammer. Having the ability to put it would make Goodnotes equal with the paper book alternative. But having it as a Structure-Tree would make it even better.

    I have drawn a simple UX Sketch here. The idea is to give the Content Structure Tree its own extended module to be able to freely…

  15. I love reading PDFs with GoodNotes on my tablet, because it is comfortable, and I can highlight and scribble notes.

    Sometimes I'm reading a paper and it will keep referring to a figure on a previous page. I would love to temporarily lassoo that figure, and keep it as a floating window/overlay while I'm otherwise normally scrolling, reading, and marking the document.

    Think of this as similar to the "Document split view" of some word processors, but much more flexible, and taking much less space away from the main document view.

  17. When in use, it often leads to accidental finger touches that trigger the long-press function for adding comments, thereby interrupting the writing process. This issue occurs very frequently and significantly affects the user experience. I hope a switch can be added to disable this function.

  19. I would like you to implement the "justified text" since it is a very useful function especially for those of us who are in college and have to write many essays. It seems like a very simple function that can be forgotten but it is definitely very useful. I would appreciate it if you implemented it soon <3

  20. I love to use the text tool but currently it is quite inconvenient to use. I would love to define my own text field styles and save them to reuse instead of always defining them again. Also it would be great to have a color picker in the style section so I don‘t need to copy the HEX Codes from e.g. Pen tool where the color picker is present.
