  2. It would be great if there was the possibility to pan with the middle button of the mouse, when working on Goodnotes for Windows. Or also zoom with a combination including the middle button (such as Shift+Middle button).

  5. When using keyboard function on the menu bar I can only change the style and formatting to the pre-set styles. I would like to have the ability to change Font size, Font style (Helvatica, Arial, etc.) I can do this on the Pen menu but not on the keyboard menu.

  6. In Text mode:
    - Being able to insert text symbols, specifically arrows, e.g. ↑→↓← and "therefore", as these are useful shorthand in notes describing processes and events (specifically medicine).
    - Recognising super-/sub-script
    - Convert to "chemical reactions" not just math

  7. When I import any paper or pdf which has references, upon clicking on used references taking to the right reference should be enabled.
    Right now this feature does not exist. The current update is charging so much but this simple feature is not yet there even after so many posts. Other notes apps provide this feature. Kindly consider this.

  8. As a teacher, I use GoodNotes on the board by mirroring the app on the display. It would be great if I could directly display a timer for the remaining editing time for my students in GoodNotes. While the split-screen solution with the clock app works, I would prefer a small timer within GoodNotes itself.

  9. It would be helpful to group open notes like they're tabs.

    This would be helpful as I could still have my frequently visited notes open on the Goodnotes app, but they wouldn't be taking up a lot of space at the top of the app (and I wouldn't have to reopen the same note multiple times a day). I would be able to find and organize my notes easier and it would look nicer.

    I have attached screenshots of what this tab grouping looks like on Chrome as an example of what it could look like on Goodnotes.

  11. Hallo, es wäre toll wenn ihr bei den Lernsets unter „Smartes Lernen“ die Funktion hinzufügen könntet, dass man die Vokabeln auch von Antwort auf Frage sich abfragen kann. Bisher geht das nur mit mit der Funktion „Üben“, da wird man aber nicht abgefragt. Es wäre sehr toll, wenn ihr das machen könntet! LG

  13. As someone who relies on color coding for studying and uses GoodNotes on multiple devices, it‘s incredibly annoying to manage the colors for the pencil and highlighters on each and every device, as these things aren‘t synched with the cloud.

    A solution would be synching the tools or maybe accounts where you can create a custom set ups of tools and colors to use

  15. A Support Line would be great you guys don’t offer much customer service. Tickets that no one’s seems to respond to doesn’t help at all. You guys can’t provide an amazing app and then disrespect the people who use it by not supporting then through programming issues and the everyday tech support that everyone NEEDS!

  16. After using a particular font, I like to have a selection and re-use some of my fonts. However, after clicking on the recently used font, nothing happens. I have to search for the font again. Then whey put such a feature of recently used fonts when it is not functioning.

  17. Make the search feature to highlights the words that we’re searching so that it is easy to find some words in a pdf/book, it is a normal function in other apps but it is not included in goodnotes.

    Also make the search feature faster.

  18. I appreciate the opportunity to share my feedback on GoodNotes' handwriting recognition feature. I think it is a great initiative to allow users to contribute their handwriting samples to improve the accuracy of the algorithm.

    However, I also think that there is room for improvement in terms of motivating and rewarding the users for their contributions. I suggest that GoodNotes should implement some kind of reward system or badge system that recognizes the users' efforts and achievements. The rewards could be something simple like some free exclusive stickers. And the badges should indicate the number of contributions made by the…

  19. Many of us use Goodnotes to take notes but are also using to do apps/task management apps (e.g. Todoist, SkedPal) to keep track of our work. We used to be able to take handwritten notes, convert to text, and then run a shortcut that would push it out to todoist; however, that seems to be broken. Any foothold you can provide that would allow for easy integration to a task management app would be amazing - I’d be able to quickly move my todos out of my notes and into my task list and I’d be so productive (…granted I’d…

  20. Every little or big news has always been useful, but I beg you, make it possible to insert long or short notes via pop ups that open and close, to put wherever you want, in the text or in the images, it would be fantastic. A thousand thanks. A student who loves you.
