  1. There are many requests posted for this feature but listed under different threads.
    For students and professionals researching and taking notes this is very helpful when compiling or reviewing notes afterwards. Not having this feature defeats the purpose of highlighting and taking notes. Unless GoodNotes wants to just target small documents and sticky notes.

  2. "A selection tool that makes everything inside the selected section permanent, which cannot be erased by an eraser or moved by an lasso pen".

    Add a warning as well to notify the user once made permanent cannot be reverted back. Let it be redone by undo incase of any mistake or whatever suits your logic.

    So the notes we take can be set permanent and if we want to scribble on top of it we can do so!!!

  4. When you draw some shapes on top of each other and you would like to align the shapes perfectly, you can't select the shape you draw afterwards. May you can do it better. E.g. you can select all shapes near the area you have tapped with your finger.

  5. Allow a thicker textmarker. The 7.7 mm aren't enough for some slides.
    I also use sometimes the textmarker for highlighting something by holding the marker for a perfekt rectangular - and therefore it also should be possible to make a thicker line.

  7. Group and ungroup favorite pages in one same document. For example, when you do literature reviews in academic work is always useful to group information related to one concept or research question. It would also be useful to see group favorite pages from different documents that have been label with the same name

  8. I set my scrolling direction to "horizontal" and I often flip through many lecture slides for review. I would prefer the transition animations to be disabled when I use a physical keyboard to navigate (with arrow keys). The transitions makes it more tedious to skim through the PDF. It would also be great to have a page count more visible on the main screen (rather than hidden inside a menu).

  10. App works great. Being able to add grid lines to imported pdf would make it even better.

  11. GoodNotes seems to change the page template into the last page of a PDF when I import it to a document.
    I would like GoodNotes to ask me if it changes the template every time I import a PDF.

  13. Suggestion:
    Add the option to modify the note thickness in the selection adjustment setting.
    Set the quick selection of pen style,including pencolor, note thickness collection pen, etc.
    In fact, it works pretty well so far,well,we can refer to notability to improve some individual functions

  15. A web version or PC version of the app would make it 10x better as someone who got an iPad for drawing medical figures in school but still uses a PC.

  16. I want to be able to copy a part of the pdf (not just handwritten) and then by using the lasso tool (which is now just has screenshot feature) copy the part and paste it anywhere I want in the pdf. Have a look at attached pictures.

  18. It's annoying when my palm falls off the edge like when writing on regular physical notes.

    I'd love to be able to move my page to the left, so I can rest my palm on the right side, allowing me to write on the rightmost side of the page.

  20. When I move files the top most view of my folder structure is displayed, on whichever sublevel my file currently is saved. It would be helpful to open all folders in the current path so it is easier to see where exactly the file is currently saved as well as to save it on a folder higher in the current tree.
