  3. Please create an option to natively import speaker notes from powerpoint files into either adendums to each slide, separate slides that follow each slide the notes are associated with, or another method like a sticky note on each slide. It shouldn't be a massive hassle to implement, since Powerpoint files can be extracted by command line as zip files, and all the speaker notes are located in /ppt/notesSlides/notesSlide*.xml files, with each slide having its own notesSlide.xml file. The speaker notes are located in plaintext in these files in some basic OpenXML formatting that Microsoft came up with for office. Specifically,…

  4. Improve pencil drawing quality - currently too light to use and must be part of pen options rather than standalone as present.

  5. It would be great if we could write notes off on the margins for pdfs or have a continuous note taking feature instead of having to add new pages to a document.

  6. Be able to autocorrect specific handwritten characters.

    You could create your own character, for example “z”, “/“, or an integral, and if Goodnotes recognizes your handwriting and “sees” that it’s similar, it gives you the option to replace it.
    Your “autocorrect” characters are handwritten.

    Additionally, being able to lasso “add” a character to this character autocorrect. As we all know, nicely written characters are usually made when you’re not trying.

    Possibly allow this feature to be a button so people can turn it on to read that specific page to reduce potential frustration with constant autocorrect suggestions.

  10. Please evaluate the Goodnotes app for accessibility and provide VPAT(S) and an. Accessibility Statement with your security and privacy options. VPAT version of the template should be 2.4 or higher (itic.org/policy/accessibility/vpat) and use the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 AA (w3.org/TR/WCAG21/)or higher standards.

    Aside from making your application as accessible as possible to make it inclusive and abide by current laws, it will help you comply with the April 2024 update to the Title II if the ADA (federalregister.gov/documents/2024/04/24/2024-07758/nondiscrimination-on-the-basis-of-disability-accessibility-of-web-information-and-services-of-state#).

  11. To Link across documents
    Make it more useable like LiquidText , like just linking things with just connecting words and pages. Which will be more helpful for researching.
    Add a side notes taking freespace for pdfs like LiquidText , which will also be very helpful.

  12. Please improve the text boxes. I would like to be able to do superscript and subscript numbers. Every user that works in science needs this sooner or later. It would be a simple but very necessary improvement.

    example: H2O (water)

  14. Add a pop-up window to allow users to conveniently reorder tabs, like how it s implemented with “reorder pages” in a notebook. Currently, when we attempt to reorder tabs, the system often flickers between recognising it as a “open in an individual window” and “scrolling on tab bar”.

  16. currently you are forced to have this ‘tab view’ at the top of your screen that seems to be a huge waste of space when you are working on a single document and not jumping around. Please add the ability to toggle a ‘tab view’ so you can enter more of a full screen viewing mode. Similar to notability.

  18. Right now, one can select text and press "mark". I want to perform the same action just by using the apple pencil without any effortful interim steps. Using the normal marker right now, I have to focus on drawing neatly to receive uniform marking results that are straight and neat.

  19. 尊敬的开发团队:

    作为一名勤俭节约的男大学生,我最近狠下心花了一笔不小的开销买下了你们的GoodNotes,一开始真是欣喜若狂,但渐渐发现问题一个接一个,让我非常失望。最严重的问题就是 发烫。我的iPad Air 5从来没有在使用其他应用时发烫,除非在酷暑时没有空调。但只要一打开GoodNotes,特别是在开始写字、记笔记时,靠近磁铁的地方(我估计是芯片的位置)就开始发烫,甚至烫得厉害!这绝不是我设备的问题——无论在WPS、OneNote还是其他笔记应用上,我从来没遇到过这种情况,完全不发烫!

    更让人无奈的是,这种发烫还带来了一系列问题,最明显的就是 延迟。即使设备烫手时,我用OneNote也从未出现过延迟,而你们这个收费应用居然连基础的流畅度都无法保障。OneNote免费、支持多平台适配,而GoodNotes价格并不便宜,却只服务于iOS用户,居然还出现这样的瑕疵!真的不敢相信,一个付费应用在用户体验上居然比免费软件还差。

    希望你们不要回复一些诸如“重启设备”的解决办法。我买这个软件不是为了每天重启iPad,更不是为了把你们的产品当祖宗供着!重启治标不治本,真要是有用,我至于来这里投诉吗?软件收费也不少,好歹也让用户体验对得起价钱,不要只顾华丽的外表而忽视用户的基本需求。请解决这些问题!!!如果只会做华而不实的臃肿功能,而忽视软件的核心体验,那真的令人破防!

  20. Please bring back the original flashcards function from goodnotes 5, where you could write like normal on a flashcard template page and then practice them. This version was so much easier and more intuitive (and more unique) than the new version where you need to make a separate study set with only one option between text, image, or handwriting (which is also super inconvenient that it opens as a separate tab). Please bring back the flashcard testing option, at least for goodnotes 5 which still has the flashcard template.
