  1. Can you please allow the search function to work with notes written with the pencil tool? I see the search function works for the pen, but I prefer the feel of the pencil when taking notes. Thank you.

  2. I would like to suggest adding a feature that allows users to copy text formatting within the app. This would greatly enhance efficiency when working with different styles and layouts.

  3. Allowing us to add tools to the zoom window like previous Goodnotes version would allow me to take notes faster instead of always leaving the window to just change the color/size or from pen to highlighter.

  4. Right now, I can't close the window from the area I'm going to tell you and it's making a lot of separation, the page is clear and not fully visible, can you reduce the area I will forward?

  5. At the moment you can't go to the open documents when you are under home. The only way to get back to your open documents is via the 'search' button, I think that should be much easier.

  6. Add toggle for permanent fit-to-screen of pages. So it won’t move when scribbling due to palm detection. It would be a great feature for some who use the app for e-book reading with note-taking like medical books.

    Double-tapping to fit the screen is only helpful on the current page but loses algnment when scrolling vertically.

  7. そのページに対してのみのページの追加ができると便利
    ノートを一続きではなく、フローチャートのように広げてていきたい。
    マインドマップとの統合を希望とのトピックもありましたが、
    もう少し単純に、横のページの進みに縦方向にもページを広げていけると拡張されたノートができるのではないでしょうか。

  9. iCloud is not the only storage everyone using. Please arrange a better back up option. It is a must needed.

    Many users posted about it. If you are not interested developing it please be clear and announce. If you’re interested developing it please provide the deadline.
    So customer can decide whether to keep adding more notes to this application or stop using it.

    Your answer or unanswered response will say many things to me.
    Thank you.

  10. As I am using Goodnotes daily for school work I often need to access transcripts at a later point when I am doing homework for example. Having the option to easily access my notes on my Windows PC while I am writing on another part of the page or even another page on my iPad would make working with Goodnotes a much better experience, as the collaboration feature often not works for me as intended and is a lot more time-consuming to do. I have been using OneNote before and the only think making me think about switching back to…

  11. I’d love to see GoodNotes have a cool feature that pulls together all the comments in one spot. It’d make things way more fun and flexible—imagine being able to jot down a quick summary for each page or add extra notes for a quick review later, all in one go

  12. When opening any document, especially with PDFs, it would be great to have the possibility to have a separate page on the side to take notes. This page on the side sticks to every side in the notebook while scrolling and is not included while exporting.
    Especially for students, this would matter a great deal. Because, for example, we have the slides which the professor gave us in our main document inserted, and then he talks and talks. One has to write down all the stuff the professor just said down, but it isn't possible within the slide because there…

  13. I find I am always looking to go BACK to the HOME or FOLDER LIST and would like a shortcut key (i.e., CMD+___) to quickly go back a page. So for instance, I want to open several documents under a folder. I’m using the HOME button AND would like a keyboard shortcut to make that happen.

  16. Let us write notes next to the slides, like you can do in OneNote. It is absolutely crucial for students, especially when teachers write a lot on their PowerPoints. I love GoodNotes but I keep thinking about switching to OneNote because of this feature.

  18. Is it possible to expand the Goodnotes cloud service to all users?
    I read the page ( Goodnotes Cloud on IOS Pilot Program).On this page, the Cloud is only eligible for Yearly plan members...That is pretty sad 😢 What I am concerned about is I already paid for other cloud services. For iCloud,I won't pay a subscription.

    Meanwhile, I saw there may be invitations to upgrade iCloud to goodnotes cloud...hope that I am not misunderstanding, cause two statements are a bit contradict.

    If this advice will be accepted in the future, It is convenience. Thank you.

  19. Something I have noticed when typing out paragraphs, is that sometimes good notes will auto finish a word without me pressing space or tab for example and just inserts the whole word whilst I'm typing. Lets say I am writing While and start writing the first two letters, it will auto finish the word but I keep writing in the middle of the word so it becomes really weird; like this WHwhile I am doing thisILE, The capital letters is what good notes automatically wrote for me

  20. I noticed that my iPad battery gets drained very quickly when I use Goodnotes. It would be great if the Goodnotes team could introduce the features of "Battery saver mode" and "Performance mode" so that it won't consume a lot of battery when I don't need peak performance.

    Also, it would be even great to have to GoodNotes team decrease the overall battery consumption of app without introducing those 2 features :)
