  2. I usually have multiple open documents. When I start GoodNotes on my iPad, it often starts in the files view. To go to my open documents, I need to open a new document (or one that is already open).

    Can you add a button to go from the files view to the documents view?

  3. I use Goodnotes for all of my graduate studies. Part of this includes labeling anatomical structures, and I wish there were an easy way to white-out labels to study and practice. There is a feature on KiloNotes that allows this and would love for it to be featured here! I’m sure all my fellow healthcare students would agree. I would seriously consider switching from the sheer amount of time saved.

  4. I love the feature for checking the spelling while writing on my iPad. When GoodNotes corrects my writing, I see that the recommended words are pretty correct. When I select the correct word from the recommended words I notice that most of the time the newly written word is not in my handwriting. It is similar, but not exactly the same. I would appreciate there would be a guided page (or menu item) where I can teach GoodNotes to exactly write in my handwriting.

    Thanks,
    Ali

  5. When you first open the app for a few seconds it pops up the most recent document you have opened. This looks vary unprofessional and needs to be changed.

    I suggest a screen with the app logo and a color theme.

  6. I tend to upload my PDFs into GoodReads based on author names and years, and I have reading lists for particular subjects with pages.

    I would appreciate it when preparing hyperlinks in the reading to pdf documents I could use a search bar to find the actual document quickly.

  7. the free Mosyle version doesn't meet our license key installation requirements because it doesn't support AppConfig in order to push the license key to devices.
    Please provide another method to install the license key.

  8. User can pinch in and out on iPad to zoom in/out on the 12 month planner. User can import their historical planner data (from other sources) from the past decades of their life into the template (infinite free form canvas) to view the master plan of their life. The unique selling point is the digitally typed text or stylus written text in each “day” box of the planner are auto word wrap within the confines of the box border with infinite space in the “vertical depths” of each day box. User can add images, videos and links too. User can…

  9. The audio recordings and their sync with the written notes is an amazing feature that I use daily.
    An improvement that could be made is adding the ability to change inputs to bluetooth devices for the audio recordings (like external microphones or bluetooth headsets) - This would be especially helpful for people who sit in the back of a lecture hall and would allow them to place a microphone at the front and record the lecture more clearly.

  12. Can a feature be added to lock a PDF after it has been signed perhaps with a date/time stamp when the PDF was locked and finalized? I am in law enforcement and I use Goodnotes to have people sign department forms. It would be great if the form could be locked and stamped after it is signed to show that the form has not been altered. Thank you.

  16. I hate the thing that if you are searching for a note on a folder o if you exit by mistake while taking notes you must open a new file to return back in “notes mode”. Just add a “back to notes” button or make tabs view also available in search, documents, ecc pages!!

  17. Improve the overflow feature of typed notes so that if I go back and add more to an earlier page, it automatically flows down. Also allow for a header that repeats across multiple pages of typed notes (like in a notebook filled with notes for a semester worth of classes).

  18. I love you guys, but you seriously need to fix the shape drawing tool. There are currently (as far as I know) two ways of drawing shapes:

    1. Draw them quickly to get exactly what you drew: This is (almost) always imprecise for shapes like rectangles, since I obviously can't draw a rectangle consistently, so this is a non-starter for rectangles

    2. Draw them and hold for shape perfection: This is for some reason almost always turned into a circle or an ellipse which is incredibly frustrating.

  19. Vielen lieben Dank für die tollen Lernkarten. Für die Erlernung der Gebärdensprache wäre es total wichtig, dass man nicht nur Bilder sondern auch Videos hochladen könnte.

  20. As a student, I am often completing exam papers and download them onto my goodnotes to then complete. I often find that there isn't enough space to write on the sheet so I create a new blank page to write my answers. However it is very inconvenient to have to scroll up and down to read the question then scroll down to write my working then scrolling back up again for the the questions and so on. Other apps like liquid text already have this feature that I wholeheartedly believe would make this app significantly better. Not only this, even…
