  2. Dear GoodNotes

    Hi, I'm an university student who is using your application very often.

    It is a bit shameful to say but to be honest, my handwriting isn't that good.

    So I hope the good notes automatically change my handwriting into Text.

    If you apply deep learning system for each users, AI will understand and change someone's handwriting to Text even if his handwriting is barely understandable in human's view . And also, users can customize their own AI system.

    It must improve and reduce misconversion for each users.

    I hope you consider about it

    Best regards

  3. In the iPad version, bookmarks and the outline appear as a pop-up, but it would be more convenient if they could appear as a side menu, the same way they appear in the MacOS version.

    This would enhance navigation in the iPad version as we can then keep the bookmark/outline bar open to quickly move to different sections of a file, and then close the side-menu when not needed.

  4. It would be great to be able to import a calendar event into a note like OneNote can. It would save time having to write that info down as well as be a good search tool.

  5. Now in the app, when I need to change the text size, I only can use my finger to drop the icon, but this method cannot let me set the text in same size at each time.
    Whether can design a input window to input the text size directly?

  6. after I have quickly noted and scribbled something I would like to order some stuff afterwards, sort and make it more readable. For example, write headings thicker. Currently I have to erase what I wrote, choose a thicker pen and write again. It would be cool to be able to change the width of the lines afterwards.

  7. A simple button in the menu area to directs the user to the open documents instead of open any document just to open the previously opened docs.

  9. I type the outlines for my university lecture notes in one go on my laptop and it would be great if there was a keyboard shortcut to add an outline for the current page. That way I wouldn't have to switch between the keyboard and trackpad all the time.

  10. Hello,
    In my opinion the UI needs a refresh, it takes too much space on the screen when taking notes, we should have the option to hides things we don't use, thus clearing the menu bar for things we actually need, for example If I use a pen and marker only, I do not need to see the magnifier, shapes, text,laser icons, and also we need more than 3 pen\marker sizes & colors. to up the productivity for people who have to take fast notes (engineering), and want to save time with 1 quick click do it rather than do…

  11. My professors sometimes provide us with scans of documents to read. I like to annotate as I read. However because these can be scans with black edges from scanning, it is really hard to find a color that will show through. If I was able to put an opaque shape behind my text to make it easily viewable, that would be awesome. The current fill only allows for a see though fill and it doesn’t help at all. I also can’t chose white because it would not show on the white spaces and I don’t want to be changing pen…

  12. Add schedule that can link my document to certain days like for example in Sunday I want to review my pharmacology notes and to complete another note, when I tap on the name of the note that is written on the schedule it takes me directly to the note page.

  13. When copying/pasting a picture from my MacBook to my iPad, the size of the image is inconsistent. For instance, I could copy a certain image from a website and it'll paste as 400x200. Another image from the same site that's about the same size will paste as 800x400. It seems to depend on the amount I'm zoomed in when pasting, but the option to maintain the size would be awesome.

  14. It would be very helpful if there was a "mark as read" option in GoodNotes, especially when you have a lot of texts to be read so you can see at a glance which ones you have read and which ones are still to be read. Currently, I am using the "tick emoji" in the document name which is an alternative but being able to actually tick off documents and mark them as read would be so helpful!

  15. Es wäre schön wenn man die Gliederung in den Notizen und Notizbüchern untergliedern kann. Quasi eine Überschrift für eine Seiten und Unterüberschriften für die nächsten Seiten erstellen kann.

  17. Es wäre gut wenn man beim Stift eine gestrichelte Linie aus wählen könnte.

    Geht ja schon beim Lasso Werkzeug das entsprechend mit bleibenden Linien und allen Fähigkeiten des Stiftes.

  18. The thickness of the shape tools is changed automatically when the thickness of the pen change previously, but currently the thickness of the shape tools is fixed and it is so fine.

    For instance, when I’m trying to draw lines, the lines looks weirdly fine.

  19. I would like something that darkens the paper and inverts black and white colors. I know we have dark paper but if we want to print it out that would mean we would have to either print that background color or manually change every single page back to white. And if we used dark paper and typed or wrote in white (or vice versa) and switched the background color we would have to manually change that too.

  20. There’s times I’d like my highlighter to be more vivid without going over it multiple times, or times I’d even like it to be solid (e.g. to fill something with solid color since it’s larger brush size)
