  2. When I write my iPad heats up and drains the battery , I see this issue has not even been a priority for goodnotes users like my self

    When will it be fixed and not just worked on being fixed ?

    I love your app but if I can get more screen time, less heat and less drainage I’ll move to another app

    Also please include some organization for the folders I like some of the organization but it can feel overwhelming this being all over the place I like ABCD organization it’s terrible

    Thanks

  3. The app lacks the ability to bring (import) sound files. Have you thought about this possibility?

  4. At the moment, it is a two step process to return to the normal eraser after using the highlighter only erase.

    It would be much more simple if the pop-up message had the option to disable the highlighter only erase, rather than the current pop-up where there is only the options to go to the settings or ignore.

  5. If I have a line at any arbitrary angle and wanted to draw another line at the same angle, it would be nice to have a feature that would give me the option. Similar to notability or PowerPoint, matching object dimensions, angles, or even centers of concentric circles would be amazing. As a physics student, I have to draw many diagrams and often times I will either have a terrible diagram because i know I won’t have time to make a nice drawing with matching dimensions or I miss crucial information while trying to get my lines to be the…

  6. I regularly use comments to annotate on slides where there is limited space. Would it be possible to include these comments when exporting to pdf format?
    This would for instance allow me to review my notes on my pc while making summaries on goodnotes.
    Thank you!

  7. When inserting a photo, most of the time I just want it to span from left to right while keeping it’s aspect ratio / proportions. Currently, scaling a photo is scaling it from it’s center. This results in the necessity for several resizes and drags to match the page border left and right.

    I suggest an option to just hit a button in the context menu to scale the picture to a size where it‘s borders automatically align with the page borders!

    An alternative would be to add the option to scale a picture from it‘s corner, rather than it‘s…

  8. 1) while copying and pasting text from one document to other opened in same window ,in addition to providing dedicated copy paste option , add a drag and drop feature
    2) if we have to copy and paste multiple times then everytime it switches tool to text styling and it disturbs the work flow and affects productivity ....it would be better if tool selection in every tab can be fixed , so we dont have to swicth tool from text styling to any other for copying again

  10. Now documents can be sorted by Date, Name and Type. I think it’d be nice to be able to sort by Size as well.

    It may be helpful to detect more easily low-use-big-size documents to maybe delete and free up some space

    1. It’s hard to scroll though 200 pages of written notes, just to find where the audio was recorded. It would be amazing for us students, if there was an option to see what page/where the audio was recorded.

    2. Please add an update to let us rename recorded audio files.

    3. Change playback speed of the audio.

    4. Add an option that automatically adds the date and time when a new page is created. (This could also help find audio recordings based on date and time of the recording, and the page)

    5. When you draw and hold, it presets into a shape, please…

  12. When using Presentation Mode with AirPlay set as "Mirror Presenter Page," GoodNotes used to hold the displayed tab when going back into the file interface. This was very effective for avoiding distraction for students when looking for a new file to display. It appears that in mid May with no explanation this feature was removed.

    Now, when pressing the "back" button to browse files, the AirPlay display now shows the file interface, rather than holding the displayed page frozen.

    This feature was critical to how I used GoodNotes in my classroom, and I hope it could be reverted, even is…

  14. Please add a ruler it is really hard to do geometry exercises without one. Ok you can make the line straight but you can’t measure the distance especially when the line isn’t horizontal or vertical. It is also next to impossible to correctly calculate degrees. Thank you in advance.

  15. I've been loving Goodnotes on my ipad, one of my favourites of all time. On my PC it's pretty useless for now tho. Knowing it's still in beta, I would like to put my request to prioritize developing writing tool in Windows version. Like on IOS devices you can click on text tool and start typing, I would love to see that feature available for desktop users. Anyways, love to see the app evolving.

  16. The current version of GoodNotes (5.9.106) uses the default highlighter colour of yellow when highlighting selected text with the "highlight" button in PDFs imported to Goodnotes. It would be great if GoodNotes could provide us options of highlight colour then and there only (just like Apple default PDF reader), as it becomes tedious to select the text using lasso tool and then change the colour. Also, the pdf reading experience will be even worse for people not having an Apple pencil, as the highlight button is a far more accurate method of making crisp, accurate highlights than using finger or…

  17. I would like to express my appreciation and gratitude for the GoodNotes application that you have developed. It has been tremendously helpful in my daily studies and work, providing an excellent and convenient platform for recording and organizing my thoughts.

    While I am satisfied with many features of GoodNotes, there is a particular function that I believe could further enhance the application if incorporated. This is the ability to adjust the format of handwriting. I've noticed that we can already modify the color of our strokes, which is a very practical feature. However, if we could also adjust the thickness…

  18. PLEASE create the control f function for flashcards. Would literally save my life. Cause I have a bunch of flashcard for my anatomy lectures and it's hard to have to go through them one at a time.

  19. Because of my visual impairment (keratoconus) I am unable to differentiate between the Page Layout previews visually. Thin lines mix up to much with relatively bright background, every page preview looks the same (like a blank page).

    Please add a accessibility option for more contrast and thicker lines. (only for preview)
