  1. Bildschirmausschnitte und Bilder sollten nicht nur Zugeschnitten sondern auch GESPIEGELT werden können, bei meinen Skizzen ist dies immer wieder notwendig - oder ein Shortlink zu einem Malprogramm.
    Optimal wäre natürlich auch die Funktion VERZERREN!

  2. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. not sure if this has been brought up but as a student, sometimes our notes have pages irrelevant to our revision but we can't delete it either. similar to Google Slides, maybe Goodnotes can add a function to allow you to hide pages so that it wont appear when you scroll through the document, but can still access in the pages menu maybe?

  7. I ALWAYS have my iPad in landscape orientation. So when trying to edit colors & hex codes, I have to turn my iPad in portrait to access the hex codes cause the pop up won’t scroll down. Very annoying.

  8. 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.

  11. Used to be able to search or open “table of contents / outline” and then when you clicked on your selection in the sidebar or on the page the sidebar would be minimized / in the background. The first pic the sidebar is open and to visualize the entire page you now have to tap on the search/table on contents icon at the top to minimize and see the entire page. The other 2 uploads is a previous search where you clicked on your selection in the sidebar and then you could click on the page to minimize the sidebar…

  13. I use quicknotes for all of my notes in class, a separate document for each day of class. It would be nice if I could use the AI feature to ask questions about a whole folder because I don’t always remember what day of class I learned a specific subject.

  15. formatting handwriting in GoodNotes is a real chore.
    For example, I want to insert a carriage return, there is no gesture to do that, or insert a tab. It really defeats the purpose if I have to go back through and apply formatting.

    Every good critique has a proposal:
    Most people hold their tablet with two hands, I envision a tool pallet on the opposite side, where the user can use their thumb to press buttons like "new line", or tab. this can later be expanded to include buttons like italic, bold, different pen colors.

    A second idea, is to…

  16. A feature that allows us to write over an image without selecting it by accident. Every time I write on images it gets frustrating when it selects it. It would be nice if images can only be selected when we click on the image tool so it doesn’t interfere with my writing.

  18. When text reaches the bottom of the page, it should automatically go on the next page. Also, when adding text to the previous page, text should automatically readjust on the following pages (just like it does on Word).
