  1. Sometimes the answer on a study set is long, and there’s no way to highlight text of underline it in the answer. Being able to draw of highlight on top of the text as you would in a notebook would be much easier and neater!

  2. Add the option to have no language selected for text recognition so you won't get the red dots under your handwriting in your own language

  3. I have lots of textbooks that have page number's, but you cannot enter the page number and jump to it in goodnotes because of title pages, table of contents, etc. I just want to be allowed to set a page as page 1.

  4. We have been using a web app with zero functionality for almost 2 years now. Did you guys abandon us? We paid for this and still do. Why can't we have the real goodnotes? It's literally the goodnotes from wish .com right now. No stickers. No goodnotes files, different ui, everything is horrible. It can't even handle importing a .pdf without zooming weird. Why do you do this to us. It's so sad.

  5. 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

  6. Add the option to add a link to a recording to a page so that it’s easy to listen to recordings associated with certain notes.

  9. Like how we can create comments and collapse them, if we could place a sticky note and collapse it, I think this would be a great feature to expand note taking. Especially on things like PDFs that do not have a lot of room in the margins.

  10. Instead of copy paste can you please add a feature of just moving the clipped image from one app to another just like Samsung note features. It's amazing I want here too.

  11. When adding a link to a page, the dialog box has the field called "Page" and it shows thumbnail for all pages to select from. It would be so nice to have "Page Outlines" option in there.

    1. Fixing Images in Place : Currently, selecting images with a finger causes the image to move while writing on it. This makes it difficult to work with images. Allowing users to fix images in place would greatly improve usability.
    2. Exporting and Importing Audio Clips : It would be very helpful if users could export audio clips and import them from external sources.

  12. In order to allow the use of Goodnotes company, we require to be able to apply certain security policies. This is done via MS Intune MAM, which require that the app is integrated with Intune SDK. I know this is a requirement at many large companies. The fact that this is not the case, excludes Goodnotes from a lot (!) of users.

    Please integrate Intune SDK to the source code, so that it can be included in our and several others app repository.

  13. The present linking process is time consuming…to make it easy my suggestion is while linking a page from one document (A) to another page (lets say page no-206 of document (B)) can u please allow us manually entering the page number instead of scrolling to the 206th page in document B….because it is too tedious.

  14. Currently, when a PDF file is imported into GoodNotes, users cannot scale the individual pages, especially if they contain existing content. This can be problematic when working with PDF documents that have a page size much larger than desired, leading to an inconsistent and cumbersome user experience.

    Proposed Feature:
    Introduce the ability to scale and resize entire PDF pages after they have been imported into GoodNotes, regardless of whether they contain existing content. This would allow users to adjust oversized pages to a more manageable size, ensuring a more streamlined workflow and better usability when working with PDF documents.

    Benefits:…

  15. GN works well on iphone/ipad. However, it is poorly optimized for Macbook (where many of us use it). Needed improvements: decrease memory use and battery drain, set standard window size, fix glitches leading to freezing and need to exit and restart.

  16. Being able to instantly make flashcards of your college slides. To be able to automatically have each slides as an answer, and only having to come up with a question relevant to the slide. Now I have to spend hours placing my college slides in the answer bar of the flashcards.

  17. there are a few features that exist on the IOS Application that is missing on the WIndows/WEB Application. for example I am missing the ability to fill in forms and drawings that I made. also, the ability to have several documents open in the same app. I can also not erase notes just by scribbling over them, which might be a problem for Lenovo and also there are just way more possibilities to customize the Pen on the Tablet App.

  19. The Cursor when using a pen is 4 pointers sticking out from the center. It is really bothering me. Cause if i try to draw compact letters it will just cover it completely. An option for Different cursor types would make it al ot more enjoyable :)
