  1. When using Apple Pencil, a terrific combination with GoodNotes and the iPad Pro, there is no difference between the Ball Pen style and the Fountain Pen style. As a result, the beautiful look of handwritten ink with the Fountain Pen style is unavailable, a severe tradeoff for the added precision of the Apple Pencil. Please enable the Fountain Pen style with Apple Pencil. Thanks!

  2. Is there a problem with fountain pen mode? It doesn't look like a fountain pen. It looks like a ball point pen.

    Please improve the look of the fountain pen mode. Make it look like the fountain pen in the Noteshelf app. That one looks absolutely beautiful.

  3. I am an engineering student. After trying multiple apps your app has by far been the best for the college student who takes higher level math courses. Every other app that allows to draw decent shapes and lines are way too complicated and targeted more for artists. We need to be able to take neat notes that involve shapes and numbers quickly and efficiently. While I love your shape feature it is time consuming to draw 3D shapes while trying to incorporate dotted lines to show hidden parts of the shape. Having a dotted line feature as well as maybe…

  4. We would like an option where students could highlight the text and have it read to them to help our low readers with difficult text. Maybe have it coordinate with the iPad Accessibility option of text-to-speech.

  5. ToDo List detection by e.g. Special syntax like a Date Time String and a Square Or a dedicated button with reminder function. I also Wolldecke pay for it additionally.

  6. Add more options to the highlighting function such as
    - square corners (for colouring in)
    - opacity settings
    - turning off the layering when you go over a previously highlighted area

  7. Having the ability to flatten would create a document that I could continue to write over but then do an "erase all" but not erase the flattened part.

    I am a math teacher and sometime I write down a problem that I would like to keep to show to the next class or use next year. I would like the ability to keep the problem without exporting and re-importing it into GoodNotes as a pdf.

  8. Ich nutze Goodnotes viel im Mathematikunterricht für Tafelanschriebe usw. Ich finde das Programm super, vor allem der Präsentationsmodus ist genial.
    Was mir noch fehlt sind Zeichengeräte (Lineal, Geodreieck -> so ähnlich wie in der Notizen App von Apple), damit könnte ich Goodnotes noch viel umfassender nutzen...

  9. I'd like it to be easier to switch between the eraser and my custom pen setting while writing. A two finger tap or holding down a finger to erase would be awesome.
    I use an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil for GoodNotes.

  10. I wish the Search function were on the main toolbar! Having it buried 2 or 3 clicks deep in the '(Other) Options' menu, I often forget about it! It's such a great tool, that I think I would use it much more frequently if it was a single touch away!

  11. I think it would be much easier to sync notebooks across devices if there were user accounts and you just login to the app. That way you could access your files from any computer, tablet, phone, etc, just by logging in.

    Files would be stored online through good notes, instead of relying on iCloud syncing or google backups, since i am finding that the iCloud syncing is not reliable.

    This would be similar to how you can log into your Google Drive account from any device and see access to all your files if you have an internet connection.

    There…

  17. It would be great if we could make a table/chart... just the Form Not all these calculating thing

    Es wäre toll wenn man eine Tabelle machen könnte... nur die Form nicht die Kalkulationsfunktionen. (Das wäre 2.-Rangig)

    For the geometry function would it be nice if we can draw halve circles or bows or something like a sinus-function.

    Für die Geometrie Funktion wäre es toll wenn man halbe Kreise, Bögen oder etwas ähnliches wie eine Sinusfunktion zeichnen könnte.

  18. Export all the highlighted sections of a PDF or notebook into a new file or notebook so all your important info can be in one place!

  19. Please add the possibility to synchronize the documents also with other clouds. In Europe we are forced to store our data on European Servers. So please add some European cloud services. My personal wish would be the MagentaCloud from Deutsche Telekom.
    Another nice Feature would be the synchronisation with private cloud services, e.g. the clouds of the universities.
