  1. The "Enter" and "Tab" buttons in the zoom window are the most important controls. As such, they are placed on the right side of the zoom window, in order to make them readily-accessible for right-handed writers. However, for left-handed users such as myself, the infrequently-used "indent" buttons are more prominently located.

    Since you know the handedness of users via the "Writing Posture" setting, perhaps that setting would automatically swap the positions of these buttons in the zoom window. Thank you.

  2. I would like to see the a detailed adjustment setting for the margins in the zoom window similar to Goodnotes 4. It would also help if the margin adjustments are persistent across documents or templates. Having to reset it every time the file is opened is frustrating.

  3. Text boxes often disappear randomly when clicking them on the iPad. Please fix this, it's time-consuming and annoying.

  4. A lot of users of Goodnotes are students in which they use this for studying and reviewing. I suggest that instead of 3 colors of highlighters being readily showed, how about increase them to 5. So that we don’t have to change it from time to time. And sorry but a lot of people uses at least 5 highlighter colors when studying

  5. Add a toggle that just the start and end points of a line get connected
    Without it, lines often get crooked

  6. The image tool has a long drag copy built in, I wish the lasso had that as well, I draw a lot of graphs and using the iOS Paste shortcut is hard, having the lasso work the same way as the image would be perfect

  7. 開發者您好:

    我是貴產品的愛用者。感謝貴公司創造這樣好的產品,嚷我可以在生活上以及工作上,有效率又可以輕鬆地生活。
    有一點使用上的建議,也許不容易做到,但是,還是以一個使用者角度與需求,向貴公司提出建議。
    我是在居住在台灣的使用者,但是,中文的使用環境上,是繁體中文的。但是,生活或工作上,都會有很多機會是使用簡體中文,如果在軟體中內建簡體字轉換繁體字的功能,這會讓我在使用得到更好的體驗。word的軟體上有這樣的功能,我知道在PDF的檔案上,也許需要很大的工程,但是,我還是提出我以上的建議與需求。希望有一天可以達到這樣的效果,
    感謝您的聆聽

  8. To prolong battery life and make reading easier, make the pdf’s darkmode like in google play books app. Most students who use GoodNotes study textbooks for hours on end while using the iPads battery and while the screen literally turns into a cooking element. Darkmode would enhance studytimes and literally more than double the usable hours on battery.

  9. Create bullet points and allow text to be created under a drawing to make it easier to go between the two.

    With the text box, if you create a drawing, like most students do for STEM classes, the text will just be in the same box over the drawing. Or you have to start a new box which ruins the structure of your text.

  10. especially good for slides created via beamer (latex) -
    where things appear in the next slide on top of the current one.
    Horizontal scrolling ruins the effect.

  11. I like a lot the Mac app on the Catalina, but I have an older Mac that runs on High Sierra, and it can't install the app, just like me, I think more people could use the app if it's were made available for older Macs, since is something that you keep for 10 years easily.

  12. Add a keyboard shortcut to go to the top of a document or bottom of a document on the Mac. It is difficult to move around in large documents without them. Thanks!

  13. “Return option” it would be great that after you open a document and have opened so many pages you could have an option to jump straight to the main documents page instead of clicking so many times to return to open a new Document but still be able to return within that currently open folder or document page by page as it operates now

  14. Currently, when you search for a term, the search drop down menu will only show an excerpt of the first instance that the search term is found on a page. Often times, however, a term appears more than once per page. It would be beneficial to see an excerpt of each instance the search term is found.

    For example, if the term "Australia" is found 4 times on page 53, there should be 4 excerpts of page 53 showing each instance where the term Australia appears.

  16. Take a picture with iPhone camera instead of iPad camera.
    For better usability it would be easier to use user's iPhone to take picture and it is a feature I need every day. (Apple notes app has the feature)

  17. So there is an overview feature in safari that allows you to view all open tabs in the app as windows in rows and columns. I find that I have a lot of notes open at once.

    If we could have a similar feature, like a button that gives us an overview of all the notes open, as well as seeing their first page. This would make navigation between open notes much faster and more productive

  19. The current drag & drop feature copies notes as a PDF file. (http://feedback.goodnotes.com/forums/191274-customer-suggestions-for-goodnotes/suggestions/19716046-export-individual-pages-using-drag-and-drop-mac-a)
    However, It's sometimes desirable (and easier to view) if I copy them as images (to email app, iMessage, other note-taking app like Bear, etc.). I wish there is an option to select images over PDF.
