  2. Create a way for a written note to become an Asana task. This feature would improve our efficiency greatly.

  3. Apple announced that iOS 15, iPadOS 15, and macOS Monterey feature system-wide translation, allowing users to translate text by simply selecting it and tapping or right clicking on the Translate option that appears.

    This native support by the os, should be easy to implement.

    In fact, some existing applications already support this feature without upgrading. I am curious why GoodNotes does not automatically support it when reading PDF files.

  7. It would be very helpful if we are given the ability to select several images and import them all at once. This will save time and it will make it easier to work with projects that require a collection of photos. One way I would use this is to upload multiple pictures into flashcards. I think it would also be great for journaling. A feature like this will help speed up my workflow. It is a nice productivity feature.

    My workflow would be much more efficient if I could multiple images simultaneously instead of individually, since I work with images…

  8. You could select gallery and add your video/GIF. Then you’d be able to move it anywhere in the page and make it any size you want. You could also drag and drop GIF’s directly from other pages. And if possible, record short videos directly in GoodNotes.
    The videos and GIF’s would keep repeating in a loop while they are on the screen. It’d be good to be able to pause and resume them with a touch, and for there to be a option to have a timeline at the bottom of videos (so that you can scroll through) but you

  9. I like using the blank page for my note taking as it allows me the freedom of note taking style. However, when I start writing paragraphs I end up with slanted, is there any chance you add a toggle switch that allows the user to toggle lines on the page temporary and switch them off when done, so we can have straight paragraphs please. Thanks! I seriously can’t live without GoodNotes!

  10. Es wäre hilfreich, wenn beim durchgehen der Lernkarten auch der Fortschritt angezeigt und gespeichert wird, wenn nicht alle Karten durchgegangen werden, oder zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt weiter gelernt wird. Außerdem wäre es toll, wenn man den Fortschritt separat abrufen könnte.

  11. When I read, the large amount of text on the page made it inconvenient for me to add annotations and notes, especially when I needed to quote passages from other works and had no space. Adding blank pages at the bottom of the page makes turning pages difficult and text cannot be joined.
    If a new feature could be added to add blank pages to the left and right of the page, capped at two pages, that would work even better and I would not want to use another notes app.

  12. I suggest to add a continous writing turn off/on button in a writing mode. Because when i use it, sometimes i don’t use that continuous writing mode. But now it is able to go features tab and turn off it. So it is useful to add switch on that writing mode

  13. Quickly toggle this mode on, GoodNotes will ONLY respond to your stylus. This means absolutely zero accidental tab closes and switches, tool selections, anything that could happen from resting one's palm near the top of the page. For completely relaxed, unworried writing in any position.

  14. I wish the uploading to iCloud of fast enough to be able to make edits to the same notebook on my iPad and Mac at the same time. Like with Google Docs, multiple people or accounts can edit the same document without one having to stop/wait for the other.

  15. Have an option for us to scan document using iPad camera and cropping the image before pasting on our notes, and image pasted could be in PDF or image format. This will tremendously help in note taking

  16. Can you do a highlighter tool that UNDERLINES the text instead of highlighting?

    I would help in productivity so much rather than have to hold and wait for it to form a straight line.

    Thanks

  17. Please add the ability to edit keyboard shortcuts. I have a very specific setup and being able to assign keys where I want them is a very important factor in workflow.

    I am glad there is keyboard support at all, but I can't imagine this is beyond the ability of your staff to add.

  18. When highlighting a word or sentence in an imported pdf, tap to enable a hidden note embedded within the highlight. The reason I say imported pdfs is because most files do not have space to take notes on the individual pages so embedding your note within the highlight provides space to take notes where the note applies while keeping the file looking clean.

    i.e. the definition of a word in the middle of a paragraph

  19. I study math and sometimes I speedrun my way through a problem set, and in the long run, having to add 100+ pages one by one can become a bit annoying, since there could easily be a feature to add x pages of the current template.

    e.g. add 20 pages with the current template after the current page
