  3. The toolbar and the bar above that shows the title of documents take a lot of space. It becomes a little frustrating especially when I’m writing in split screen, because it’s very thick and takes much more space than needed.
    It would be great if you could optimise the size of the bar and save some space to make the best writing experience.

  4. Continually exporting my notes into pdf result in endless filenames, if the file already exists: „Copy of Copy of Copy of Copy of filename.pdf“.

    To prevent this, a checkbox „overwrite, if file exists“ in the pdf-export-options would be very helpful.

  5. GoodNotes is the excellent app for note taking.Its just above all as compared to all other note taking apps out there in app store.
    Just want to convey a single message to GoodNotes team.
    Please please add scrolling bar function in pages.The slider bar of pages don't work properly.We have to manually turn each pages and that is a too tedious process.Kindly give the option of scrolling of pages using finger or apple pencil.

    Also kindly add search through function in images and pictures which are attached in notes.
    Thank you

  7. Ich hätte gerne die Möglichkeit, Ordner für eine bessere Übersichtlichkeit einzufärben. Und auch die einzelnen Registerkarten würde ich gerne einfärben können, um schneller etwas zu finden.

  10. When I have my lecture slides open and I create a snapshot from a picture, I always have to - share - copy to clipboard - paste. This is complicated and feels unnatural. Nice would be a simple copy and paste.

  11. After we got “Draw and Hold” mode for pencils to draw perfect shapes, putting an eraser with “Erase Entire Stroke” in the middle of the circle makes the circle be erased. This is quite uncomfortable when I have to edit inside the circle. I wish the circle would be erased only when the eraser touches the boundary.

  12. I like the non-linear note taking that an infinite canvas allows. Especially when doing a pdf paper review over zoom, it is useful to be able to break out to the side of the pdf page and draw illustrations of various points for discussion. When not presenting it can still be useful when note-taking to be able to add notes along side relevant pages/equations in a PDF. Otherwise you end up adding notes in pdfs just as you would in the paper version - constrained to small margin areas or writing over the text, instead of being able to write…

  13. The ability to link a GoodNote to Slack, Evernote, Things etc. Make GoodNote an embedded tool connected to the leading productivity apps ! And of course, the ability to quickly jump between connected notes in different folders/books.

  15. It would be nice to have the option to disable hold to zoom as this will often pop up when I am writing any dots, periods, or multiplication signs (I like to make them fairly visible).
    I'm fairly sure Notability has this, so it would be nice to have this option in this app as well.

  18. Due to the existence of arxiv, many people, take me as an example, will download preprint versions of an article and after quite sometime, when the published version appeared, one should also include that into the database. Now we have one preprint with your notes or comments on it, and another published one with higher reliability, it seems necessary to pin these two(or more) together to make life easier. Or if there are better solutions, welcome to comment!

  20. A vertical zoom window for those of us on top-to-bottom documents, as opposed to left-to-right documents.
