  3. Would like to have more options regarding math figures.

    LectureNotes does this very good (see attached image)

    You can create and adjust coordinate systems, grids, dotted patterns, arrows, dotted lines and tables.

  7. If I write an important reminder in one of my Goodnotes books I would like funtionality that allows the option of linking this to a calendar reminder date and time. When the reminder goes off it leaves me a message that links to a bookmark where the remix we originated from in Goodnotes.

  8. a bookmark icon on the top menu to bookmark the page you are viewing with just one tap. Just like when using a post-it on a book.
    Current bookmark menu has too many steps including entering the bookmark title.
    Bookmark menu inside the "add" menu can be used to edit the title and so on.

  9. I frequently find an article on the internet or a pdf on the internet that I want to download and read in GoodNotes so I can annotate what I'm reading. The process I currently use is that I print the article or pdf as a pdf file that I save in Dropbox. Then I go to Dropbox and open the pdf in GoodNotes.

    It would be great to be able to save the document directly into GoodNotes from my browser (which is Chrome) instead of constantly having to go through Dropbox.

  10. The auto recognition shape feature is pretty cool, but I can't always draw the perfect square or triangle I'm looking for. An idea would be adding a feature to the auto recognition that allows you to drag/resize the shape once it has recognized your drawing.

  12. Allow to choose how much the Zoom window goes down when it returns to the left of the page. Right now it goes down by a multiple of its height. This is not comfortable at all as the line I write into is only a fraction of the Zoom window height.

  16. I use Goodnotes for study, and i add bookmarks. It would be great to be able to reorganize the bookmarks (alphabetically or numerically). That way, finding the right page would become easy AND quick, not having to read through hundreds of bookmarks to find the right one

    The app is great, one of the best in my opinion,
    Thanks, and keep up the good work

  17. Noteshelf has a calligraphy pen. When I write with it, my handwriting is completely legible and it feels like I'm writing on real paper. I love Goodnotes, but I have to work hard to make it legible.

  19. The handwriting recognition and the ability to expert searchable PDF's are outstanding features. But I often write notes that include both English and other languages, especially French, that come up in my work, and the current search and export based on only one language at a time significantly limits the usefulness of these features, especially because it leads to significant errors in recognition, because, for instance, if the language is set to English, it will "recognize" a French word as a very different English wood. Thanks for considering this, and for a great app.
