  1. Hi there,
    1) In LiquidText, you have the ability to create links not only between different pages of the same book but across different books in the app. I want GoodNotes to implement it in pdf textbooks and digital handwriting notes and it will make study and research very easy.
    2) In LiquidText again there is a feature in which you pinch to collapse the pages so that you could compare the material between two different pages of the same book. It’s awesome and it will make studies very easy and productive. So please work on it
    3) Please either…

  2. Las carpetas, libretas, documentos... que aparecen al abrir la app se ven demasiado pequeños cuando los ponemos en modo vista como lista; es una lástima ya que es un modo de visualización muy práctico pero debido a que el tamaño que presentan los iconos de la versión para el iPad es demasiado pequeño, no queda para nada vistoso.

  3. It would be useful to be able to segregate the pages that have been marked favourites into the folders that they originally came from.
    i.e. Where date, name and type are selectable as sorting methods at the top of the page, add folder so any folders with notebooks that have bookmarked pages in are shown.
    The idea is being able to find pages that have questions attached to them on a subject basis (denoted by the folder they come from).
    Thanks

  4. I’m learning a tonal language and would love to be able to create separate recordings for my notes. One Note has audio recording ability, but it’s ONE single clip. I’d like to be able to write a word or phrase and put a sound clip associated with it.

    A wolf sounds like :
    A coyote sounds like:

    Just make this feature already = I see request for recording that is 9 years old ....you’re so close to a perfect product

  5. imrpoved text processing like oneNote, Notes, pages or word.
    please add more text processing features for use on macs like writing on a page without the limiting textbox, list features etc.
    goal: preparing notes during a phonecall with the keyboard, adding texts, lists or preparing a meeting summary directly in GN instead of preparing in Notes or other apps and pasting it to GN afterwards.
    this is the reason our workflow still relies on other party apps instead of organizing everything in GN.
    love to see more macbook - keyboard/mouse text processing features!

  6. Most ideal for copying and pasting images with text that we've written on top of it!

  7. After a screenshot is done, and we've resized it down, and we make another copy ... it would be awesome to have that 2nd copy be the same size of the previous (which we cropped ourselves) rather than the very 1st original copy.

  8. Instead of having to add a tag word on each document and then exclude the tag, make a checkbox option. This should be available for folders and individual documents. Default would be backup.

  9. A lot of people would agree that fountain pen in Goodnotes, while still very good, lags behind the competition (Noteshelf, Notability).
    I think adding texture or random shading, similar to what you can see in real fountain pens, to the fountain pen stroke will greatly improve its visual. Addition of stub nib effect will also improve writing experience.
    Thank you,

  11. Reduce notebook file size, because when the notebooks get more and more after time it’s uses a lot of storage.

  13. It would be really useful to have the option of of moving the tools at the top in such a way that it works better. Since I write with my left hand, instead of reaching over with my right hand to to the top left corner of the screen to change my pen tools, eraser, etc., I could just reach the top write corner to access my most used tools in an easier way

  14. Penultimate has a great feature, similar to GoodNotes’ AutoAdvance, where the screen moves automatically if you’re writing and it stops moving as you stop writing. This was really useful for me as it meant I mainly had to move my hand in one direction- I didn’t need to move it along the page, as the page moved itself. This enabled me to write significantly faster and reduced hand strain. It would be great to see this added into GoodNotes

  15. Viewing 2 pages and be able to edit both on the same page on an iPad. Like how you can view a pdf in acrobat but in a way on good notes so you can edit them both.

  16. Hi, I’m a Uni student and often times have heaps of PDF photocopies to read.

    I scroll horizontally to read them as they are often times photocopies of books.

    Therefore I don’t want to ‘interrupt’ the flow of the document to insert a blank page to take notes on.

    I figured that if you could keep scrolling vertically to read but on each page swipe horizontally to add a page next to it to take notes on it’d be a game changer.

    Once you export the file all the horizontal pages would just tuck in behind the vertical one it’s…

  18. Dear Good-Notes Team,
    I've been using your app in school for more than a year now and I am absolutely excited. But now I bought a keyboard for the iPad to write less with the Apple Pencil and more with the keyboard. So I would love it if you could extend the text-tool and add things like tables, bullets etc. Things that you can find in every other text editing tool. The textbox is also rather suboptimal. I think you can take the textbox function of Adobe XD as a model. There are different types of text (areatext, pointtext, auto-heigthtext.)…
