  1. Please make an option to export or share the audio recorded on the app. This would be really helpful to also have the audios on the cloud.
    Thank you

  2. I used a Mac version of Goodnotes. It'd be great if the crosshair/ pointer is customisable, or even just give us more shapes and sizes to choose from. Personally I dislike the 4 lines crosshair and I think a simple dot would make for better precision and accuracy.

  5. Please make sharing notes view only and better web browser support. This would make Goodnotes most likely the best educational tool on the market. I use Goodnotes to deliver lessons and have to export as pdf everyday which is annoying.

  6. Since latest update to iOS (17.6.1) I’ve lost the ability to create a shortcut to open a specific notebook/document.

    Please fix this!

  7. Simply put, the ability to select ANY component of ANY handwritten or computer-drawn element/image/stroke, and have the ability to manipulate it in ANY way. Stretching, mirroring, resizing, ANYthing. =)

  8. When using the lasso (selection) tool, let the pens that have haptic feedback features (e.g: Apple Pencil pro) to vibrate, and a setting to turn this off in the pencil customisation settings

  9. Blättern wie in einem analogen Notizbuch, im Querformat können dann zwei Seiten nebeneinander dargestellt werden, so dass deer Übergang zwischen zwei Seiten intuitiver gestaltet wird.

  10. You can already edit the text size in text boxes, but why can‘t you do that when you are writing on the full page? The feature is so satisfying to use, it automatically aligns perfectly with the lines, but why are there only some premade options like heading 1, heading 2…? The normal size is just too small. I think this would greatly improve your app and it should be pretty easy for you to implement it. Thank you for this great app.

  11. The option to convert a pdf or power point file into a flash card would be a really nice add on feature, I spend much of time creating power point but to manually copy and paste and create a flash card is time consuming… hope the future update will have this option.

  12. For a math conversion tool, it's essential that Goodnotes should be able to recognize every mathematical or science symbol/sign. Simple symbols like the mathematical “therefore” symbol, ∴ , can't be recognized, making writing and converting one's math's notes a challenge especially in academic writing. Now I realize there are a lot of symbols out there, but one way to go about it is to take a look at the comprehensive lists at ctan.org. They have comprehensive list of every LaTeX symbol, which pretty much equates to every math symbol that can be indentified for conversion. I've attached one such file.…

  14. I want my highlight to be less transparent so it sticks off the page more. Could we please get a way to toggle how transparent a highlight is?

  15. Add the option of a continuous page that doesn’t end (similar to notability) to help notes be kept together and make it easier to move words around

  16. The latest update has been quite frustrating. The tape no longer straightens as it did before, and this change is really messing with my workflow.
    When I pull the masking tape, it ends up at an angle and changes the size, which is inconvenient. I would like to be able to pull the tape straight instead of diagonally.

  17. Hola, actualmente solo podemos borrar las anotaciones, resaltados, dibujos, etc. que se realizan "sobre" un documento pdf, por lo que quisiera que se agregue la siguiente función, que no solo se pueda borrar lo que se escribe sobre el documento pdf, sino, que se pueda borrar partes del documento original, ejemplo; si tengo un documento pdf, unos ejercicios resueltos de matemáticas, sería interesante que en este caso se pueda borrar la parte desarrollada del ejercicio y dejar la pregunta para que después se podamos resolverlo, esta función la podemos apreciar en la app Homework Scanner-eliminar notas, entre muchas de sus…

  19. It would be amazing for math notes if a plotting option could be integrated. This way to plot functions you could do it on the app instead of having to paste a picture (which is harder to easily change)

  20. Please evaluate the Goodnotes app for accessibility and provide VPAT(S) and an. Accessibility Statement with your security and privacy options. VPAT version of the template should be 2.4 or higher (itic.org/policy/accessibility/vpat) and use the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 AA (w3.org/TR/WCAG21/)or higher standards.

    Aside from making your application as accessible as possible to make it inclusive and abide by current laws, it will help you comply with the April 2024 update to the Title II if the ADA (federalregister.gov/documents/2024/04/24/2024-07758/nondiscrimination-on-the-basis-of-disability-accessibility-of-web-information-and-services-of-state#).
