  1. an option to add columns and rows and cells inside other cells, and can move the width of the cells individually would be really great!

  2. I think it would be very useful to have the ability to see and reorganize the list of open tabs. This way, when I have 20+ tabs open and I’m viewing the last document but also need to access the first tab I don’t need to swipe all the way to the first tab but can pull open the list view and click directly two the desired tab. If I find that I need to consistently switch between the two, I can reorganize the tabs and place them right next to each other.

  3. This is just a nonsense to not be available.. all we need is the exact same thing as the pencil stroke thickness, but for the eraser..

    Simple as that, the same 3 quick eraser sizes/thickness, but with the ability to customize those sizes, plzzzz... its 2020 and its a "simple" feature

  4. In this app the lasso tool is almost flawless, exept when you use it to copy an image from one note to the other.. you have to take a screenshot and then drag it or copy and past, when you could just lasso it and all those option would appear as floating options and we wouldnt be moved to a new page with only the screenshot of the image. Think about it ;)

  6. Need favourites form for pencil, highlighter and text.
    I usually use Good note 5 for Studying, and I feel it is not comfortable to using.
    If you make a form that I can set up my favourites pencil especially a typeof pencil and colour and what ever, It would be very useful for people. Also the Text function has problem. when i want to change the font, it is very inconvenience. Because you even didn't have "recently use".
    I really like Good note5. But some functions are really improved.

  9. Sorry, i really think that good notes was the best app overall to writing and using as notebook, but there's so much more user friendly features in notability that i cant live without.. and i used both apps arround the same time. Ill say the features you could had to make this app simply perfect:
    — the lack of a dark theme unless we get system wide dark mode is a bummer as i find your dark theme pretty good but i hate to use ios in dark mode
    — the tool bar has too many items and takes valuable…

  10. On the Mac, make the app remember the last window size. It always open too small on a 1920x1080 screen.

  11. I usually write notes using the zoomed window at the top of the iPad because I consider more comfortable to rest my wrist on the glass than on the border of the tablet. Due to this position, I often tap the color/thickness/undo/redo/new page controls with my wrist. Could it be possible to have both the zoom window and the toolbar at the top or maybe near the zoom window’s one, or to have a touch rejection feature that disables the toolbar when the Pencil or the wrist are touching the screen?

  12. When I am inserting photos as a new page, I can only insert one photo at a time and could not insert more than one at a single instance.

    It saves lot of time for the users in case they want to insert screenshots of lessons they are going through online.

  14. I wish to be able to choose which documents to share to devices, and which to leave in the clouds. I want my planner on my phone and iPad, but I don’t need my notes from work on my iPad.

  15. My intended primary use for Goodnotes is to markup PDFs. These PDFs are already organised in Google Drive, and I would like to edit these files directly (rather than having the edited versions saved elsewhere).

  16. In all other versions of Goodnotes I could import a google doc or google slide directly. Please bring this back. Almost all teachers need this functionality and it will turn us away from the app. I am really disappointed that after updating the app version this functionality has been lost.

  17. I tend to paste images of text or diagrams onto my notes and I find myself using freehand cropping more often. I was wondering if there was a way to make my freehand lines straight? The best way I can describe it is I want my cropped images to look like a Tetris piece instead of a sloppy cropping. I can’t draw in a straight line and I would love for my freehand cropped images had clean lines.

  18. Add a filter to show only pages with annotations in the document.
    That way we could only export pages with annotations .

  20. 使用GoodNotes记笔记半年多,其书写的流畅度是出类拔萃的,只是还有些许功能需要改进,在此提出我的建议,希望开发者可以认真考虑:
    1、绘图功能有待完善。GoodNotes采用手写识别的绘图方式,这种方式绘图确实较为自由,但是失之精确。我在画一些物理示意图时经常涉及到圆、矩形、坐标系等图像,用手写识别的方式绘制相当费劲,建议增加一些相关图像的预设,可以直接拖入图像调整参数,方便精确绘制。(可以参考微软Office系列插入图像的操作逻辑)
    2、目录导航功能有待完善。现在的Goodnotes目录没有页码输入的功能,想找几百页的东西只能老老实实往后划,较为费力,建议增加页码跳转的功能。
    3、文本输入格式有待完善。文本输入时只能设置一些基本格式,另一些对排版具有较大影响的格式如字间距、行间距等并没有办法设置。建议增加文本框的设置内容已满足基本的排版需要。
    4、模板预设有待完善。Goodnotes提供了相当丰富的背景模版,很大程度上满足了我的需要,但是我想要使用一些个性化的背景模版时需要自己进行绘制,这有一定的技术门槛。建议增加“智能模版”,即可以在现有模版的基础上进行个性化的设置,比如改变格线的数量、间距、分栏等等,方便用户自行设计合适的模板。
