  1. Provide one-click option to send notebook for hardcover/softcover paper publication directly within the app.

    I’ve been using GoodNotes for a few years now and have created many notebooks of ideas, drawings, and sketches. Would love to turn these into paper notebooks for my library. Sure, I can do this through various third party publication platforms with a little effort. But, to have an option where I could seamlessly send notebooks to a printer from within the app, knowing that the paper size and other features are controlled and synced — without any fiddling — is a big time saver.

  2. When importing pdf, goodnote could read or fetch pdf metadata to organize, search, sort documents by author, publication date and stuff like that. That would be extremely useful for scientific papers and managing lots of references.

  3. when external templates are bought , why can't we acces them from the database? i bought the dotted grid to test the process and it end like any pdf you would ad in a folder... not really useful, had to copy and paste instead of adding directly from the "plus" icon.
    anyway, i love that app and use it so much

  4. Apple recently allows you to hold a photo and turn objects into a sticker element. Imagine how useful it would be to use this feature to edit handwriting notes after they are written.

    To be able to take a photo of my whiteboard full of notes or a concept map... and then able to edit the words/ shift objects just like it was written in my goodnotes instead.

  5. We are a corporation and it will be easier for us to purchase your app using MDM rather than going to each IPAD at a time and purchase it that way.

  6. I use Goodnotes for taking notes.
    It would be nice if I could use the relocating function(the red one in the pic) in the zoom window.

    Everytime I move my handwritings I should turn on the zoom window again and it is very annoying.

  7. It would be great to have the tool in use attached to a page.
    For instance, on one page, I have a pdf open and I use the highlight tool.
    On another page, I take notes with the pen.
    Going back and forth from one page to the other, I have to change the tool each time.
    (It was working this way on the previous version of GoodNotes)

  8. When using the slider mode on ipad where i have two seperate documents open side by side both occupying half the screen, the highlight colour options are not visible. I have to click on colour menu and change it every time. Please update it so we have colour options even when it's in slider mode.

  9. Olá! Algo que me incomoda muito é o fato de o aplicativo liberar apenas 3 cores quando o iPad está em modo horizontal, sendo que há espaço para colocar muito mais cores. Seria muito interessante aumentar esse número de cores para diminuir o tempo gasto para troca de cores

  10. I would like to have a quicker method of importing PDFs on my Mac into the goodnotes app. Connecting GoodNotes to Apple shortcuts would allow me to program this myself, but a "Watch Folder" for the Mac app would work just as well.

  11. Having the same file in multiple folders without having to duplicate the file to make 2 separate files. So edits on the document in one folder affect edits in the other folder.

  12. It would be very useful and would improve a lot the versatility of the app if one could use a smart pen to write with ink on paper and directly (or in some way) transfer on the app what has been written by the real pen

  13. Die Datenschutzerklärung und Nutzungsbestimmungen auf Deutsch einsehen zu können wäre wirklich hilfreich. Ich kann zwar Englisch, aber es gibt die App auf deutsch und ich fände es halt angenehmer.
    Es hält mich zwar auch nicht ab, mich zu informieren, aber es wäre halt angenehmer für mich.

  14. I see a few requests for larger buttons in specific use cases. I’d like to see larger tap targets overall, wherever possible. The aim would be to make less mistakes, reduce the concentration required to perform an action, and help people with less steady hands or thicker fingers. I was thinking that across the top, there is plenty of room to create more space between the icons. Maybe it gets tight on smaller iPads. Maybe not. But either way perhaps the spacing could be a little more dynamic, or larger for larger iPads. Not exactly a feature but something to…

  15. I only use Ipad - which I hate - for GoodNotes. I would gladly pay $30 for a Windows version to use on a Microsoft Surface. Please make a Windows version and free us from Apple.

  19. We use goodnotes in school and its hard to like read a text and do notes at the same time, because you have to switch pages every 2 seconds. Thats why i would be nice to have, this zoom-handwriting thing to work at the another page, while you reading at a page.
