  1. It would be great if I could rotate lasso text. A record audio feature would be nice. Also, an option to insert a chart template as well as having the ability to permanently copy a drawn chart and paste it from a library of copied shapes.

  3. You can add small pages to the left and right sides of a note page, or just comments, so it's extremely convenient to flip through notes later, as well as PDF revisions. Summary: goodnote page restrictions are very serious
    可以给某个笔记页面的左右侧添加小页面,或者批注就好了,这样的话,后期来翻阅笔记,以及PDF的修订等,都变得极其方便。
    总结:goodnote页面限制非常严重

  4. As someone who uses GoodNotes for studying Japanese, I would love to be able to attach a recording to a typed or handwritten word with the pronunciation of that word. So when I click it I can hear the correct pronunciation.
    I think it would be extremely helpful for those of us using GoodNotes for languages.

  5. The lasso tool should have a mode (switch?) where it only selects objects that are completely enclosed by the lasso area, not anything that intersects with the lasso area. This is very useful for selecting things in complex drawings.

  6. There are times where I’ve lasso’d a diagram that I’ve drawn or handwriting and I’d like to drag it to the next page but it won’t let you. You have to copy, paste and delete to get the same result

  9. 1) continuous sheets-why the small cards?
    2) a date time stamp is necessary. I would like a command or template to have a start and a stop time;
    3) convert handwriting to text on the page;
    4) save as ,docx or .rtf

  11. If there would be an option to measure the angle of existing lines would be great. You also could measure distances when you set a refenrence distance first.

  13. No offense to those who have designed the cover templates, but for designers, architects, engineers, artists and anybody who is more creatively inclined — we would much prefer to import images as backgrounds for creating our own custom covers, and/or design our own using some embedded tool. I need to visually glance at groups of notebooks and understand immediately what applies to what project, or in what category they are. This is something pretty critical for me as I ramp into using GoodNotes for many different projects.

  15. data security is a major concern for companies. good notes should be able to be used within a secure containerdefined by an mdm , to only allow storage of notes in well defined data storages.

  16. It looks like you are getting a lot of requests that fall into this category. I write small. The zoom window is magnified just too much for me, so even though my writing looks much better if I use this function it is tiny in the document. Writing in huge big strokes in the zoom window means it takes me longer to write. If I could reduce the zoom window height by 20%, this would help a ton.

  18. I'd like it to be easier to switch between the eraser and my custom pen setting while writing. A two finger tap or holding down a finger to erase would be awesome.
    I use an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil for GoodNotes.

  20. When you Take a picture with the Camera (I use it in the classroom as document-Camera) most pictures are too dark or suffer from insufficient brightness.

    A quick and simple brightness and contrast adjustment will help a lot.
