  1. Hello, I'm using GoodNotes to organize the pdfs for my grad school classes and wanted to make two feature requests:

    1. Please make the character length for document titles longer on Mac and iPadOS. When dealing with multiple documents from the same author in a single folder, it quickly becomes confusing because there is very little room to display the document name. I can understand this limitation on iPhone, but it should not be an issue on a Mac.

    1. Would an integration with Zotero (Mac app only, sadly) be possible? Ideally, I'd imagine a workflow where I can use…

  2. 是否可以在工具栏加上一个锁定当前页面不可编辑的功能?因为页面长期处于可编辑状态很多时候在复习阅读笔记的时候会不小心触碰到里面的内容,有时还会误删一些东西或者不小心打乱了当前页面的排版。这样笔记还要从新编辑一下。如果有一个当前页面锁定功能就可以防止这些误操作。希望得到贵公司回复。谢谢。

  3. An option to scribble on written notes to remove it, instead of double tapping the apples pencil or manually selecting the erase option.

  4. When I try to write curves in the app, it often turns into few straight lines. I am pretty sure I didn’t write something like that. Really hoping that there are options to turn it off, so that I can write curves normally.
    Also, streamline option would be great as well.

    Writing experience in GoodNotes definitely has room for improvement

  6. It would be nice to have something to let you know when something is space - centered, something like what appears when you are doing and instagram story. It is a little thing but I think it would make a big difference making digital notes more like paper notes where you can make sure something is centered.

    Btw, I love the app! It has made taking digital notes a whole experience for me, thank you!

  7. It would be great to have a better PDF navigator like PDF Expert does. The basic functions would be:
    - link support (also link within a document like the ones a LaTeX document produces.
    - double pages viewing.
    - possibility to show the table of content

  8. Optional (on/off or even multiples of X degrees) angle snap for lines. Example: setting: every 15 degrees, if I drew a line and held it between 28 and 32 degrees, it would automatically snap to 30 degrees. As an engineering student who draws a lot of shapes, it would be awesome.

  10. When adding a picture or drawing a box, form,..., there is an option to make it either opaque or translucent with grading in percentage. Also, writing in translucent would be also very nice for several works.

  11. Hello,

    I like GoodNotes concept of having multiple pages instead of one infinite one, but I find it too hard to quickly move text between pages.

    This is why I suggest adding a "Move to next page" button that pops up once I move part of the selection outside of the page's borders (see attached image for a demonstration of how this could work).

  12. It would be great if the thickness of the pen can be automatically adjusted with respect to the zoom-in ratio, so that the pen thickness displayed on the screen stays the same.

  14. I would love to have the zoom window tool on the mac version of the application. I use the ipad version and the zoom window tool really helps me take notes but sometimes I need to use the mac for certain note taking situations in the classroom. This would greatly improve my ability to take notes in any circumstance. Thanks.

  15. Allow us to make a custom watermark. For example i make legendary notes on my ipad and i send them to my classmates, but i want to add a watermark in app so they cant use it elsewhere. Right now i use some third party software where i have to put my pdf in and it gives me a pdf with watermark. With the built in watermark feature it will be very easy.

  16. When you use a colour from the colour wheel you can save it as default. However, if you completely shut the app down these saved defaults are gone and it becomes so difficult to find the exact colour again. Can you make it so that either the new saved default colours remain even after shutting the app down or make a tool so that you can ‘grab’ any colour from the document and use it as a pen or highlighter colour.

  18. Much like Google Docs or One Note, It would be nice to have an online access point to view and edit notes. This can be a solution to the unavailable PC App and viewing on a stranger computer, where you may not want to spend the time to download the app. (i.e. Group projects/study Share)

  19. Can you add a “merge” or “group” lines feature? It would make drawing shapes and ideas a whole lot easier. Similar to being able to group multiple lines or images on PowerPoint or google docs.
