  2. I would like to know if you could add a function to scan the photos that we take like enhancing the image and cropping automatically (detecting the borders), it would be very useful. I use this app to take notes on the slides provided by the professors during the lectures, however sometimes they change some slide and I usually take a photo of the screen and I import it to my file but the quality is not the same if I use an app that scan images.

  4. Hi guys. I love this app, But GoodNotes does not support the Portuguese language. Please fix this. Portuguese and Brazilian users would appreciate this care. Please! With the excellent Handwriting Recognition, it is very important.

  5. There is a maximum magnification with the zoom window - please remove the limitation to simply allow to write as small as the user wants

    Remove the fixed proportion of the zoom window because it fixes the line height when performing carriage return

    Alternatively use auto advance functionality in regular zoom mode (not the window). Then you don't need the zoom window any more

  6. Loading A4 sized scanned pdf with 300dpi takes between 1 and 5 seconds per each page for iPad Retina when continuously viewing next pages, which is very slow. And it shows a blank page until it fully loads a page.

    In contrast, Note-shelf shows low resolution page first then load full resolution image later. This is very convenient when searching for a specific page while scrolling to next pages. Goodreader precaches adjacent pages in advance, therefore there loading speed is very fast.

    It would be nice if Goodnotes improve pdf loading speed by loading low resolution image first or precaching…

  7. One day per page journals and planner style calendars would be extra useful especially if you can search by date.

  9. I use this app for school and work. From school I would get notes from classmates and add them to my notes. It would be great to merge those together. For work it would be nice to other peoples notes with mine.

  10. I love the pen tool in Goodnotes! But I want more custom pens to chose from on the fly. Currently, only the zoom window gives me the choice of three colors. Why can't we have this in the main toolbar at the top? Also, I'd like to set different thicknesses for my customs pens so I can switch between a fine blue pen and a thick red pen with one tap. This would speed up my grading a lot! Thanks!

  15. Good notes doesn't provide the option to put a time/date reminder to each document so you can then follow up. Or, to include specific actions/reminders. Integrate a calendar.

  16. When you Take a picture with the Camera (I use it in the classroom as document-Camera) most pictures are too dark or suffer from insufficient brightness.

    A quick and simple brightness and contrast adjustment will help a lot.

  17. I love being able to draw lines, circles, ovals and squares. But I use the app all the time to draw out some graphs and ideas that require more geometry.

    We could enhance the Geometry button with these great ideas:
    ・Let us draw curved lines!!!
    ・When it's turned on, and you draw a square or circle, you can afterwards enlarge it like you would be able to do with an image.
    ・After we've drawn a curved line allow us to stretch the angle, change the curve here and there!

  18. I'd like to write smaller sized letters in the zoom box, it's more efficient and quicker, especially with a stylus. But if I do, the letters show up too small on the actual notebook page.

  20. I would like to be able to manipulate a PDF in the same way you would a picture. I find that sometimes I want half of a page in my notes but don't want to insert a screen shot as it doesn't look nearly as nice.
