  1. I usually use GoodNote to take note from lecture and 80% of the time, the palm rejection did a good job. However, once in a while, the palm rejection will fail and it accepts the input from my resting fingers, which cause the unwanted zoom-in/zoom-out or movement of the page. This situation is very annoying because I have to adjust back to the original size and position of the page and keep writing. Sometimes this happen when I am still taking the note, and it really stop me from focusing the content on the lecture. I personally don't like my…

  4. GoodNotes allows export files via image only like JPG file, but PNG is better quality format. It would be helpful if GoodNotes allowed to choose an exporting image format

  6. I was blown away when I learned about a feature in the app Inkflow. The name of the feature that I'm referring to is Inkport. Check out this video to see why I think this feature would be incredibly useful in GoodNotes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAd23h9RQeU

    This feature would be amazing for note-taking and getting assignments done.
    Imagine that students are given a handout in class with questions that they need to answer. However, the problem is that it's impossible to write the answers next to the question because there is very little space given in the handout. This obligates students to either…

  7. I like how the patch tool works in Photoshop, and I think it would be useful in GoodNotes too. I would use it to edit diagrams and remove parts, such as labels, that I do not want. Here is an example of how the patch tool works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=II4lfxoNrJ8
    Even though the patch tool is commonly used to edit photographs, it can definitely be used for editing illustrations too. I have used the patch tool in Photoshop before, and I started seeing the need for it again as I was trying to prepare diagrams for GoodNotes. I feel that it would…

  8. Hey,
    It would be awesome if one could use the collaborate feature without backing up all my other files to iCloud Drive.
    My iCloud is way to small for all my files and they are already backed up to OneDrive.
    Thx

  9. I have a professional app that allow user to create a virtual desktop on whatever thematic. Inside you can bookmark all the file, page, folder related to that thematic. I find that very pratical.
    It would be great that Goodnotes develops this. For example we could create a desktop for "Gardening" where I could link all the documents already in Goodnotes, relating to gardening, it could be a whole file, a folder, a bookmark.
    Then I could create a desktop, "Current homework" with all my current work, like a temporary desktop.
    It's very interesting because you don't have anymore to…

  10. When converting handwriting to text, it maintains what is written on each line but not the text size. It would be a great feature if the text size was maintain.

  12. Have a pen or an ink that only shows on the iPad, and not on a presentation screen. This would allow presenters to annotate their presentations without the audience seeing the notes. It would be useful for fill in the blanks, presenter notes and comments. A presenter could even "pre-draw" a picture, which could then be redrawn live.

  17. Hi there!

    I use Good Notes for taking notes in university. And I have to wrote down often medical words that good notes do not recognize. In addition I often want to typ in a language that does not exist in good notes.
    So Good Notes to allways automaticly correct my words (which are correct, but good Notes think they are wrong because it ist not in his dictonary). I know that I can disable the spelling correction. However, that work only for 1 text-box... If I go to the next slide/page, I have to disable the spelling correction each…

  19. Currently enabling or disabling auto advance requires 4 'clicks': 1. the 'three dots' menu button 2. document editing 3. enabling/disabling auto advance 4. closing the menu window.

    As someone who frequently switches between marking up documents (where I don't use auto advance) and my own notebooks (where I do use auto advance), it can be annoying to have to go through this process tens of times per day.

    It would be nice if there was a shortcut, or if one could optionally pin the auto advance option to the toolbar.

    Cheers!

  20. It would be much easier to be able to press on the screen and type on the GN's template lines. The text in the text boxes don't match with the template lines, and typing only looks decent on the blank template.

    Also when typing with the text boxes, if the lines exceeds the page size, the words disappear unless you make the text smaller instead of continuing on the next page. This makes pasting text time consuming given that you have to keep adjusting the text so that it's visible in the text box.
