  2. When I write my iPad heats up and drains the battery , I see this issue has not even been a priority for goodnotes users like my self

    When will it be fixed and not just worked on being fixed ?

    I love your app but if I can get more screen time, less heat and less drainage I’ll move to another app

    Also please include some organization for the folders I like some of the organization but it can feel overwhelming this being all over the place I like ABCD organization it’s terrible

    Thanks

  3. I think that GOODNOTES should change its organization system and make it more clear where the notes are just like notability

  7. The current version of GoodNotes (5.9.106) uses the default highlighter colour of yellow when highlighting selected text with the "highlight" button in PDFs imported to Goodnotes. It would be great if GoodNotes could provide us options of highlight colour then and there only (just like Apple default PDF reader), as it becomes tedious to select the text using lasso tool and then change the colour. Also, the pdf reading experience will be even worse for people not having an Apple pencil, as the highlight button is a far more accurate method of making crisp, accurate highlights than using finger or…

  8. I saw that the Windows app beta has been released, I downloaded it and I saw that it is a webapp "hosted" by microsoft edge. I advise you to consider developing the app using Node.js and Electron.js, a fantastic library for creating webapps with HTML, CSS and Javascript. It can also be compiled for windows and all linux distributions. I hope this advice has been useful for the development of this fantastic app. It would be great having GoodNotes even on Linux!

  9. Exporting to PDF format creates unnecessary huge file sizes. Allow to save / export to Black & White, or with lower resolution, to minimize PDF file sizes.

  10. First of all, I would like to express my gratitude for the incredible work you have done so far in providing an excellent note-taking experience with your Goodnotes app. I have been a loyal user for several years, and I appreciate the constant updates and improvements that you make to the app.

    I am writing to you today to request a new feature that I believe would enhance the overall user experience. As someone who frequently uses the Goodnotes app for taking notes, I find that the toolbar on the side of the screen can sometimes take up valuable screen…

  13. I am creating study sets for each module, but it would be good to create a master set so that throughout my degree it is possible to revise the most important bits from each module in one set

  16. It would be fantastic to have a feature that allows for effortless export of files in a print-ready format. My notes often include a variety of colors and are typically taken on a dark template. Unfortunately, when it comes to printing physical copies, I must manually adjust the templates and colors of my notes, which is quite a time-consuming process. While I'd be eager to create a script to address this issue, to the best of my knowledge, GoodNotes does not offer a public API(?).

  18. I wish there was a feature similar to the one on Notability that allows you to place a sticker over information that you are studying. When you tap the sticker, it reveals the information underneath. This would be helpful when studying diagrams or portions of your notes.
