  1. Be able to create and switch between multiple user profiles. For example, you could have a profile for personal notes and another for your classes.

    Alternatively: include options in universal search to restrict results to only notes within certain folders. Offer more search filters. This would essentially achieve the same result as separating notes/folders by profile

  2. The document scan post processing for taking pictures is really good but I commonly take pictures of my notes to insert them into goodnotes using image insert because document scan creates a new page unnecessarily. Would it be possible to implement the post processing to any image after having taken the photo? Or even making it possible to insert images that get post processing using camera insert?

    Did an example of what it would look like by cropping the result from document scan below and comparing to what the camera gets.

  3. The performance of writing in GoodNotes 5 for Mac with a third-party drawing tablet/graphic tablet is terrible. I use a Wacom Intuos Pro S with bluetooth function and there is no chance to write properly as it stutters all the time.
    GoodNotes is no use for students/teachers if you can't work with a pen tablet and that's why I hope it will be updated soon.
    Until this happens, I have to use Microsoft OneNote, although I prefer the surface and workflow of GoodNotes.

  4. 目前使用的mac端goodnote存在严重的掉帧问题,尤其是在放大缩小页面,以及垂直滚动时,只有过降低app分辨率来缓解,但依旧卡顿

    无论是ipad还是mac,使用触控板双指上下滑动页面时,无法停顿(打断滑动),其他app在页面滑动过程中若再次将双指放到触控板上,滑动便会被打断。goodnote无法做到这点,这导致需要大量翻页时十分难受。

  5. Dublicate selection by select, hold, drag and let go. Like copy and paste but quicker.
    And please add one favourite colour icon so there are 4!

  6. I hope GoodNotes add a capability to change Text box into Text Callout. In reviewing engineering drawings sometimes we need to pointed out with an Arrow which one that we are commenting to.

  7. Please add an option to remove the animation when moving through files (i.e. opening folder, opening file) to make it snappier. Sometimes I have to open a file in a whole other directory and it alway takes what feels like ages to get there.

  8. I write my notes in the black template with some white writing and it's impossible to print my notes this way. Having a feature that automatically identified white text in the selected pages and also changed the template would be so helpful for the process of printing!

  10. Insert Stickers in the center of the current view. Currently it’s centered on your current page, so you always have to zoom out, lasso it, pull it to your view area and then zoom in to improve the alignment.

  11. It would be nice to be able to set the colour of the home screen to a different colour other than white and black (following the device’s display)

  12. 笔记定义的时候只能够基于单种语言进行OCR,在iOS 15发布后留意到Live Text可以实现多语种同时OCR识别,是否有可能调用API实现多语种同时OCR,尤其是对于学科笔记而言,以中文为主体记录,但很难避免会部分出现数字或英文单词,这个时候会识别不到。

  14. Making flashcards takes time.
    We could save a lot of time by just flipping the pages with notes.
    By doing so we could use our notes as answers and we only need to come up with some questions for that specific slide.

  15. I would really love to see a lot more theme based icons which can be directly imported in a notebook. They would save a lot of time, since you don’t have to draw them manually anymore and they would improve learning by visualizing the topic!
    This could be easily located in the new Sticker menu (with a search function).
    A really good example is the icons menu in PowerPoint.
    Example:
    You type „school“
    Icons: School Building Icon, Classroom icon, calculator icon etc.
    I think it would be Important that these icons look very simple (Not fancy and colorful) just like…

  16. A feature where you can filter Outline topics for example if I created an Outline and called it "Javascript Variables" and pages 2-6 are related to "Javascript Variables" I'd like to filter by that topic only.

  18. I love the auto-backup feature. However, I find it annoying that it doesn't upload my custom headings. If I want to do so, I shall upload every pdf manually.

  19. I use GoodNotes a lot to insert pictures of my lectures and make digital notes with pictures and I also use pictures to make digital presentation boards. Every time I insert a new picture, I have to manually adjust the size to match the previous picture that I inserted and it takes a lot of time wasted on unnecessary tasks. I was hoping if your software engineers team could code a feature that would show grids once you are at the exact same size if the pictures are being placed next to each other on the same page.

  20. A highlighter option that changes the colour of your notes by just highlighting the text instead of using the colour option on the lasso tool.

    Would be very helpful as I no longer use the normal highlighter because it looks ugly.
