  2. Have the ability to zoom and have a part of the screen be the outside of the document, so that you could rest your hand, whilst editing the edge of the document.

    E. g. the second screenshot is from a table I was filling out and when I got to the rightmost column I couldn't write in it as easily as in the other ones. I am right-handed, so in those screenshots the area is on the right side of the page, but this should work for left-handed people as well, if the area was on the left-hand side of…

  3. If we can use dual window in portrait mode, it will very useful and convenient.
    Many students want this function.
    Apple didn't provide top&bottom split view, but if 'GoodNotes' provide this autonomously in software, I will love you guys and girls.

  4. Many GoodNotes users want to share documents with people who do not have the app, so it would be incredible if you added the option to share through a link so that anyone from any browser can view it and download it in pdf format, and that when we are modifying the file the other person reload the page and the changes made will appear.

  5. These idea already was written, and the status is "done". But in fact it isn't. Look how the highlighter is on dark paper when it is done and when it is selected or with apple pencil on it when you make it. You should review this idea and realise it already please.

  6. I would love to see a ruler where you can draw precisely.
    And one should be able to see the radius of the circle while drawing.
    Or see how longe an edge of a form is, angle etc.

  7. when I was taking notes, I needed a picture from the page 1 to page 5. I made a copy of that image and tried to drag that image down to the 5th page but I couldn't move several pages down when I am holding the the copy of the image.
    the only way was to make copy on each page. meaning when you make a copy you can only drag it around whatever page shown on a screen, no further.

  8. I read a lot of research papers and sometimes want to summarize a paragraph in the margins. However, the margins are often too small to do that. It would be nice to convert the A4 paper to A3, or just an option to add a few centimeters on each side.

  11. It would be really useful to have the option of of moving the tools at the top in such a way that it works better. Since I write with my left hand, instead of reaching over with my right hand to to the top left corner of the screen to change my pen tools, eraser, etc., I could just reach the top write corner to access my most used tools in an easier way

  12. Any ability to easily add links and tags would be great...
    But look at roam research and think about how you might add automatic indexing and cross linking!

    Would be killer.

  13. I use the highlighter a lot to fill in diagrams and it would be so much easier if I didn't have to do it in one go. Sine it gets darker when it overlaps, the filled in color is only uniform if my pencil stays on the page the whole time.

  15. I really love the good notes app but the experience if often frustating when I'll have to erase something. I think if there is a functionality like strike to erase it will be of lot of ease , it has to be like I scribble on the text and the text gets erased

  16. I suggest to add the tree view for single notebook, just like the “Microsoft OneNote”, now the GoodNotes is the best handwriting app, but it doesn’t have the tree view, I can’t organize content, please, thank you.

  17. Maybe offer a wider selection of highlighters instead of just the rounded tip one! Visually, sometimes it looks nicer for my notes if the highlighter rip were slanted or simply had a flat end to it.

  18. It is getting tedious for me to switch between 6 commonly used colours with a 3-slot palette when there is clearly space on the app interface to accommodate all 6 of them.

  19. I use this to take notes ehile inspecting houses. I take 50-60 or more during an inspection. While I can save each one individually (one at a time) to camera roll it would be awesome if that could happen automatically.

  20. It must be great if you have your own cloud and I can keep all of my file in that and pay monthly or for free at any storage. Don’t need to keep in internal storage!! It will help someone who have less internal storage like me!!!
