  1. Good Notes is perfect for me as a site manager to take plans to the construction site. What I miss very much is a tool to measure. I would like to measure it out of a plan.
    --> A measuring function!

  2. I have a cognitive deficit and having the iPad read a PDF to me is key to allowing me to highlight and annotate. I can write all day long but can’t read large blocks of text. Hearing the text read while following along works best for me.

  3. I think it would be nice to be able to add shapes. Especially being a college student, it’s hard to make the shapes all perfect especially with classes like organic. Or even a special area that is dedicated to various organic chemistry/math/science features (ie cyclohexane, benzene ring, wedges, dashes)

  4. I am getting a touchscreen Chromebook but since this app isn't available on the Chrome Web Store, I won't be able to use it. Having Goodnotes on my other devices would be extremely helpful because I take my laptop to school and use it for all of my assignments.

  6. Please add the possibility to synchronize the documents also with other clouds. In Europe we are forced to store our data on European Servers. So please add some European cloud services. My personal wish would be the MagentaCloud from Deutsche Telekom.
    Another nice Feature would be the synchronisation with private cloud services, e.g. the clouds of the universities.

  7. I love the new single finger swipe feature with Apple Pencil. It would be much improved if you could add the same functionality/behavior with eraser and lasso tools. With eraser or lasso tool selected, single finger swipe actually erases/selects instead of scrolling to new page. I am accustomed to using the Apple Pencil to erase or select with the lasso tool, and it would be more intuitive to allow the same single finger swipe behavior just as it does with pen/highlighter tool selected.

  10. Sometimes you highlight or add comments to a PDF using Preview or Adobe Reader on a computer. You then want to use GoodNotes to take additional notes; however, the previous annotations do not appear. This would be extremely helpful when taking notes.

  12. If good notes has another function which provide web-searching and ipad dictionary for words on PDF, it could be the best notes ever in existence.

  13. I kindof do this by taking screenshots of my calendar and importing into goodnotes, but it would be so much better if the events were automatically updated. Planner pages could be daily or weekly.

    Existing planner apps don't allow the handwriting, which makes them not at all like a real planner.

  14. In the typing mode, it would be convenient to be able to manually change the font and font size, instead of using the "Header 1, Header 2,...etc.," options like how it is for the text box option in the writing mode.

  15. As a university student who uses goodnotes for every class, I find myself frustrated at the fact that there is no subscript or superscript shortcut. Biology, chemistry, and math are all subjects that very often use these features. As a result, I often draw the subscript/superscript in after typing my note, however this tends to be very tedious and messy when there is a lot of them. It would be tremendously effective if Goodnotes had a shortcut much like Google Docs does, to insert subscripts and superscripts.

  16. Add the capability to use pen gestures(i.e. scribble to erase) in the zoom window. This would make writing notes in the zoom window much more convenient as you can use both the quicker gestures without changing tools and be zoomed in!

  17. Whether it be my handwriting, a sticker, picture or whatever i want to add link directly to them and also linking other pages of the same notebook or some other notebook so by tapping once I’m seamlessly taken to that page. Might help in making indexes

  18. I currently study chemistry at university and use GoodNotes for all of my note-taking, as well as the flash cards feature for general revision. It would be incredibly useful to be able to use rich text formatting so I can accurately enter chemical equations and chemical formulae, rather than having to come up with new forms of notation that I have to remember when revising.

  19. I noticed that in the paragraph settings, one can only have three options of organizing it (center text-align; right or left text-align) and I’d want to know the possibility of adding the “justified text-align”, because this is actually really important for university assignments.

    I’m adding screenshots of how this function appears to me, and the question/suggestion I have.

  20. The new feature that condensed the pen sizes into one button is clunky and adds two clicks to the process, and you have to change your grip to tap the screen with your finger to get rid of the drop down menu. Bring back the three buttons for pen sizes, at least in horizontal view.
