  1. I normally use noose to capture the image. But there are too many steps to capture. ( drag + push + select screenshot + share + copy )
    Please make capture tool.

  2. It is difficult to write in corners of a page while resting your hand on the screen. The ability to rearrange the page to a position where the corner of the page is near the center of the screen would improve user accessibility and comfort while writing.

  3. When the "Contents" menu is opened as a sidebar, dragging the thumbnail of a page results in the app suggesting to open a copy of the current notebook in a new window. This issue is only present when the Contents menu is opened as a sidebar---the dragging behaviour is completely fine when the Contents menu is opened as a window. This has been quite a nuisance to me every time I am trying to reorder the pages in my notebook by dragging page thumbnails in the Contents menu when opened as a sidebar, since the app almost always tries to…

  4. Make the text feature simple like it would be on a word document or google docs (bullet points, ability to highlight text) AND ensure that the tape feature follows or is "attached" to that section of the text.

    Currently I have to complete my study guide, download as a PDF, then use the tape feature. If I gain more clarity and have to add/change my notes, I lose all my progress with the tape feature on goodnotes since PDF are not editable.

  5. I like the new feature where the outlines can be viewed in a side bar alongside the document. However I really wish I could have it that the outline title can wrap and go onto multiple lines instead of being cut off with ‘…’. Even though it would mean I have to scroll more to see all the outlines, I’d find it very useful to be able to read the full title I gave each page.

  8. It would be nice to have the option to incorporate our title page onto the cover page if wanted by user

    Also allows user to create book before creating book AND has QR code to share

  9. Allow users to insert a map or location similar to Penbook. This would allow us to customize our documents and allow us a variety of customization so that we’re not limited to what we can do on this app. Adding these additional features would make Goodnotes the ultimate notetaking app!

    I really love goodnotes but I’m considering getting Penbook just because of their additional features! I think Goodnotes has so much potential to becoming THE APP!

  10. There’s a way compress the text between two paragraphs (or) sections to compare the text side-by-side instead of scrolling from page to page. It would deter frustration and make this app so much more powerful.

    This featured example came from LiquidText

  12. When using the ruler zoomed in, there is a limit as to where the ruler can go. And when I zoom out, the position of the ruler changes and it's also hard to measure since the start is elsewhere.

    So there should be a feature to lock the ruler in place and also change where the count of the ruler starts.

  13. Getting the option to change the shape of the eraser, e.g. a square, rectangle or custom shape where we are able to draw the shape ourselves.

  14. Free templates for various subjects such as engineering and calendars, or just inserting graphs.

    Free elements and stickers and sticky note options(maybe change colors and format)

    And washi tape would be AWESOME to customize!!!

    I’ve also seen implemented GIFS and internet searches straight from the app!

  16. Almost every other note-taking app has the auto-date option. This would be a huge help!

  17. It’d be nice to be able to rotate; not only move around. Notability allows rotation and zooming in and out. That would be very helpful!

  18. When using Mac OS or iPad OS in landscape mode, the adaptability of the pages is suboptimal. As shown in the figure, even though the window has enough space to accommodate two pages, it only displays one. This becomes particularly inconvenient when reading professional documents that include diagrams and technical terms, as these often span multiple pages, forcing users to continuously flip back and forth. The current non-adaptive windowing leads to a very poor reading experience.

    I hope that future updates will include more flexible adaptability, enabling the feature to read two or multiple pages simultaneously.

  19. When taking collaborative notes in lectures only the user recording can “play recording” on their notes. It would be great if it also did it to the other user (but all in one recording). So one person records it synced the lecture notes from both users into the recording.
