  2. I wish I could remove all the annotations in one document by ONE CLICK!

    I guess that is too much request...rather, simple feature other apps provide.

  4. The Lasso Tool should be integrated into the Zoom Window. I believe this feature would be useful to many others who are accustomed to using the Zoom Window for normal writing. It's tedious to have to exit the window just to move objects around, change the color, or other common tasks using the lasso. Being able to utilize the lasso without having to exit the Zoom Window every time would just increase ease of use.

    Thanks!

  5. If you're not going to try to add voice recording to goodnotes, I think it would be just as helpful to add the ability to link websites, or paste videos into the notes the same way you'd attach a picture. GIFs would be fascinating as well.

  7. it would be nice for colour palettes to be shared across tools so that we don't have to add the same colour multiple times for each tool's palette.

  9. your app is great
    could you make it possible to turn off automatic document centering? I need to move the document to the left so that the edge of the sheet does not rest against the edge of the tablet. it is very inconvenient to have the hand rest on the edge while writing.
    here is how it is implemented in procreate:

  10. I love the flashcard feature. But the flashcard display has got to be bigger: full screen. I put my maths theorems on flashcards and the text gets quite small.

    I need to be able to zoom in, and treat them like a normal page while I'm doing the flashcards.

    Also, it would be great to have space to write out your attempt at the flashcard before you reveal the answer. At the minute I have to open a document in a new tab.

  11. I'd love to see an option to add more than 3 pen colors as "quick-access". I often use up to six colors and it is quite displeasing that I have to switch them around so much. I added a screenshot to clarify what I mean by "quick-access".

  13. Please add a confirmation button to the duplication shortcut. "command D" duplicates my notebooks and makes my good notes crash. I accidentally press it instead of "command F" which is search quite often.

  14. can we have the ability to adjust more highlighter settings, for example the ability to change the opacity of it and be able to make the general size of the highlighter smaller (similar to how the standard pens can be 0.3 rather than have 1.0 as the smallest option)

  15. It would be fantastic if there could be an hour/minute/second timer built into goodnotes. My purpose is for taking notes on movies and tv episodes since I work in post production, but I could see this being useful for taking notes during video lectures etc to be able to reference back to a certain timecode easily, or have a time of day stamped to notes. How I could see it implemented is pressing a tool in the toolbar, followed by pressing on the paper, dropping the timecode onto that spot. Maybe long pressing the tool could allow you to reset…

  16. As today we have only 03 colors & three pencils options to switch between. There’s space to at least the double of each in the toolbar.

  17. There are not more frustrating than take notes of a 1000 pages exam and for no reason, when i go back to re-reading some notes, know that some text or whole pages are disappeared, it think.
    If this app was a 8 with this problem become a 2..
    I've seen other users wrote about this problem, no answers.
    How it happen: for exemple after i wrote 30 pages and the last thing wrote is in 30th pages, if i push back button, disapper text in page 5.. I wrote 25pages after that.. why it go back in page 5?!

  18. I really love the new beta flashcards. I like that now studying takes up the whole page and that the cards seem to have more space to write on. However, I think it would be good if we didn’t have to tap to make the flashcard bigger in order to hardwrite, just like you don’t have to to type. It would be more efficient for the one making the flashcards. Also, there’s no option to easily scroll through the flashcards. In notebooks you can press the button with the squares and see all the pages quickly. I can’t use the…

  19. I didn't find another way to send a message to your guys, so I just write in here.

    I am an old user of goodnotes in Mac/ios/ipados, but recently I have to move my desktop platform to windows, I just signed up to beta waitlist, but I really need to use it right now

    Is it a way to give me a priority to use the window beta version? thank you

  20. For dark paper notebooks, it would be nice if when you press to type, the text is automatically white instead of black, that way you don't have to go up and change it manually every time. Or even just when you change text to white, the next time you make a new text box, it is automatically the last color you used, so; white.
