  1. 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…

  3. 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.

  4. Goodnotes highlighter palette sucks at opacity. It's like using a highlighter that is screaming in pain and is about to die out lol. I would have to rehighlight the entire line 5-6 times just to get my desired level of opacity and that really sucks as it causes distraction in flow while reading.

    About sharp straight end what I mean is to add a feature like OneNote. DEAR GN , REAL HIGHLIGHTERS HAVE SHARP ENDS NOT ROUNDED GLOBULAR ENDS. Please change these two features 🙏

  5. 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.

  6. The ability to have a function under Export page that not only exports the PDF but also the converted text in the body of an email would be great.

    The Remarkable 2 implements an element of this in one step and also Notes Plus implements this quite well.

    I take copious notes in all my meetings but then send to my PA to action highlighted actions straight after each meeting.

    It’s cumbersome in Good Notes currently, you have all the functionality ... just needs pulling together in one step.

  7. This very easy-to-add feature makes the life of PDF readers A LOT EASIER, by rapidly switching between pages when reading and allows them to pass up the annoying scrolling. It is featured by Notability. PLEASE make it happen!

  8. The option to "favourite" a page can do this, but it would be much better if there was an option to mark a page as a "doubt". Or select a certain area and mark that as a "doubt". Also, if possible, a small caption option should also be there with the doubt and you could see all doubts in one place like the way we can see favourites. This would be very helpful when we get a doubt while revising and have to wait to ask somebody for clarification

  10. I'm a teacher and I use Goodnotes for marking many assessments seeing as we are largely remote nowadays, it would be nice to change the number of pages we see in each row (even if that means making the icons smaller). For example, in a test that was four pages long, I can bookmark the start of each new student's test and it lines up nicely, but if I am marking anything other than a four page test, it doesn't - if possible, it would be great to pick and choose how many pages are seen per row (like a…

  12. After "objects" was added, when using the lasso tool the "copy" option was moved to the second page of choosable options. As this is my most used option, it would be nice to have it back on page 1 of the option window. It's annoying to have to do one click more to get to second page every time.

  13. I've noticed that the interface begins to lag when I've been drawing on the same file for a while (I use an iPad pro with an Apple Pencil 2). It lags in at least three ways:

    • Drawing new lines
    • Erasing lines
    • Scrolling up and down in the file

    I can eliminate the lag completely if I close the file and re-open it. Also, of course, after closing the file and re-opening it I can't undo any of the previous strokes. Thus, it's reasonable to expect that the reason for the lag is because of appending strokes to some data structure…

  14. I would love if there was a way to put your text boxes in certain places automatically or know your text is centered on the page. My idea for being able to do this would be maybe a button, or similar to Snapchat and Instagram stories, lines could pop up to let you know your text is in the middle of the page or centered at the top of the page. It can be a little frustrating when trying to line up texts with other text, place titles perfectly in the center, or even trying to line up things you’ve…

  15. die Position der vom Lasso-Werkzeug angebotenen Möglichkeiten in der Auswahl-Leiste sollten nach persönlichem Vorzügen verändert werden können.
    Hintergrund:
    in der deutschen Leiste muss ich jetzt ein zweites Mal auswählen für Ausschneiden, Kopieren und Löschen, brauche aber die zuerst angebotenen Möglichkeiten nicht oder deutlich seltener als die 3 genannten.

  16. It would be amazing to have access to more size options, not just the predetermined like A5, letter or GoodNotes size that comes with the app.

    With these:
    - If someone like to print the notes, this could be helpful to adjust everything.
    - This would solve a size problem to LATAM (with "Oficio size").
    - If someone wants to print and waste the less amount of paper, we can personalized the size to the half of the measurement.
    - This would let create files and images that can be used for different social media (for example Instagram post or…

  17. Hallo,

    Ich nutze GoodNotes nun seit einiger Zeit und bin sehr davon angetan. Ich habe davor ein Jahr lang Notability getestet und muss sagen, dass das einzige was mich bei GoodNotes hält die Schnelltaste für Formen ist. Um Notability eine Nasenlänge voraus zu sein wären meiner Meinung nach folgende Verbesserungen Nötig:

    1. Es sollte möglich sein ausgeschnittene Textstücke,Bilder oder sonstiges von einer Seite auf die Nächste zu verschieben ohne die ausschnitte erst ausschneiden und dann wieder einfügen zu müssen. Wenn man mal schnell eine Seite umsortieren will stört dieser Vorgang den Workflow erheblich.

    2.Wenn man ausschnitte von einem Aufgabenblatt ausschneidet und…

  18. Your pdf sizes are too big, when I compare it other pdfs in terms of page numbers. That creates a big problem in iCloud free users and who have limited storage like 32 GB. Also, the program runs sometimes slow in notebooks with many pages.

  19. It would be tremendous to have the ability to launch the page organizer (with Thumbnails, Favorites, Outlines) via a keyboard shortcut. Furthermore, once in that window, it would be handy to be able to jump between the Thumbnails, Favorites, and Outlines views.

    I use all 3 of those organizational features in different ways within the same notebook, but navigation can get cumbersome. Having these navigational shortcuts would be a game changer.

  20. Good Notes is the best programm I have used in overall performance. I often use the "Draw and Hold" mechanic. The only thing that annoys me is that i can'T erase things, which I draw in a circle. It always deletes the whole circle! It would be great to have the circle behave like the square: You can erase things which are written in the square and erase the square by erasing the edge!
