  1. I use good notes while studying various reports and documents. When I import a pdf or other file I usually want a blank page following each page of the imported document so I have the option of marking up the pdf or taking free form notes. Inserting an option into the import workflow to “add a blank page after each imported page” would decrease the overhead of manually adding; a relatively minor productivity increase, but one that would scratch a small annoying itch.

    Thanks for considering!

  2. It's a symptom that's been around for a long time, but it hasn't been fixed yet. Sometimes, there is a symptom that the stroke of a letter is marked as if it were cut out. Please revise it.

  3. A lot of resource books are cheaper in digital format and are a lot easier to manage on an iPad; vs pounds of books.

    Problem is these publishers all have different hosting sites and the note taking software is garbage at best.

    I want to write between the lines and treat it like a real book.

    I would pay more for the hood note features

    I would love good not to become start providing digital books that enable all the good note editing features.

    My automotive and engineer school is drooling over this software.

  4. Hello guys,
    I've got a cool idea :). If you could implement a safe exam mode where the teacher can upload an exam and students can answer it on GoodNotes and if they leave the tab, the exam gets ended (just like exam.net). That would be excellent for teachers, schools, students which love their iPads and also helpful for the climate change.

  5. The new feature that allows users to select and drag a screenshot with a tap of their finger can make it annoying when you zoom in on an image to make notes. If the image takes up the entire screen it’s too easy to end up dragging the image. Then none of the notes are aligned. Please add the ability to either toggle that feature, or to anchor a screenshot so it cannot be moved.

  7. What it says on the tin. Erase, lasso, OCR all should work on any imported file. For instance, taking a photo of handwritten notes and being able to edit them exactly like if they had been written in Goodnotes.

    I imagine there are technical barriers to this when recognizing what to edit from, say, an image, but it seems like a function that already should be available for text documents.

  8. Comments are useful for adding details to handwritten notes when you don’t want to take up too much space on the page.

    It would make sense that they would be included in the lasso tool selection with the notes they are located over. As is, it appears it’s impossible even to copy and paste a comment manually to move it from one page to the other, potentially removing critical detail from a note.

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. your app is great
    could you make it possible to turn off automatic document centering? I need to move the document to the left so that the edge of the sheet does not rest against the edge of the tablet. it is very inconvenient to have the hand rest on the edge while writing.
    here is how it is implemented in procreate:

  13. Streaming radio has become the https://ascolta-radio.it/ norm for those with internet access. This form of radio has grown to become an important part of the entertainment industry, especially in the United States. Streaming radio offers an alternative to traditional radio, giving listeners access to a wide variety of shows and channels, which can be enjoyed on the go.

  14. 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

  15. 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.

  17. 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.

  18. 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)

  19. 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.

  20. 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
