  3. I am trying to use the build in text to speech reader with iPad OS however goodnotes is not compatible as it states "document content area" instead of the content in the document.

    I would really appreciate having some text to speech functionality to make studying easier.

  4. It would be great to have some way of changing all the handwriting or highlighting of a certain color to another color. This way, I can experiment with different color schemes on notes that I have already taken, without having to manually select every occurrence of a certain color with the lasso tool and changing the color.

  5. It would be extremely beneficial to adopt some formatting options for text, bulleted lists, and outlines similar to typical document editing programs, such as Microsoft Word or Google Docs. While the app is currently great, the lack of an option to create an outline-style text box is a huge inconvenience. If you could make an outline with roman numerals and tab over for uniform subsections the app could save countless frustrating situations that students face having to use multiple document programs. While this may seem like a small problem, it is the only thing preventing GoodNotes from completely perfecting the…

  6. I read a lot of papers from Arxiv, which are of the form https://arxiv.org/pdf/XXXXXXXX.pdf

    I would like to import a pdf to read directly from the link. Right now, I have to download the paper, store it in hard drive, import it in Goodnotes, then delete the file. This creates unnecessary steps and I have to delete the files later anyways. Would be great if I could import pdf directly from a link that links to a pdf.

    In OneNote, I can directly import pdf to OneNote notebook using a Chrome extension.

  7. Putting notes in a folder is convenient, but it would also be very convenient to be able to sort or search based on user-defined tags. Apple notes or Gmail are good examples.

  8. when resizing the image, lines, objects, etc, make it able to flip horizontally and vertically and have the option to fix its proportions while doing so and show degrees when simply just rotating.

  9. Font support please. I could not write Turkish letters in any way. (Letters work on windows, not on my tablet.) The delete key doesn't work either, I can't delete the text with the keyboard.
    Hyperlink support is also available. I can't scroll sideways in stickers. Not all of the stickers you add by default are visible.

  11. After coping text from and pdf and pasting into GoodNotes there should be an option to return to the previous tool, such as the pen, to go straight to adding notes or drawing. Much like the eraser can automatically return to the pen.

  12. I think that GOODNOTES should change its organization system and make it more clear where the notes are just like notability

  13. Maybe an option of hold pressing on the thickness button and the ability to change the width by sliding pen up and down (to select the strokes), so we wouldn't have to open the stroke button every 2 seconds for switching?

  14. I love GoodNotes on iOS but would LOVE to use it on my Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 which is 7.6" - just shy of the 8" minimum. Any chance as the beta goes, GoodNotes will open up to my size screen?

  15. I am really enjoying the Flashcard template.

    However, I like my notes to be as neat as possible. It would be great if templates for lined and squared paper Flashcards could be created for when writing out the Flashcards, but when studying them, the lines/grid lines are removed to look as though your hand written notes are all aligned and not wonky! :)

  16. Dear GoodNotes Team,

    I am experiencing difficulties with pressing the "New ..." button in the Mac application, as GoodNotes only responds to my input occasionally. Kindly review and improve the user interaction to allow for seamless usability.

    Thank you.

    Best regards

  18. I desperately needed a brush switcher that could hover. Similar to this feature in notibility. This provides great convenience for brush switching when working in split screen.

  19. iPadOS 16.2 added external monitor support. However, when I open a notebook in Goodnotes it messes with the size of my external monitor due to presentation mode automatically starting. I want to be able to deactivate it, so I can properly use my monitor.

  20. Some academic papers use endnotes. Would like a feature to quickly move between two points in a document. I might manually scroll to the bottom of the document to check the notes, but then it would be nice to have a button or toggle to take me back to where I was.

    Thanks
