  1. I really appreciate that there is GoodNotes for Mac as I use both iPad and Mac depending on the context. Quite many times I am reading a research paper on Mac in the browser and if it is interesting I would like to import the PDF in GoodNotes. This requires that I first download the PDF and then drag-drop in the GoodNotes. It would be wonderful to have either a possibility to paste the link/URL to import that document within GoodNotes or a sort of chrome extension that imports it. This way there is no need for the intermediate step…

  2. I’d like to be able to drag and drop files into the document to embed them. Double-clicking the icon opens it in the default app, where it can be edited.

  4. Sometimes we want to find a certain notes which we only remember on which day we write down it. But it’s hard to find out where it is in whole GoodNotes. So I think a edit records of where we edit everyday is important. It help us to index our notes more convenient

  5. On the i,port document dialog, add 3 radio-buttons:
    1. Open this document after import
    2. Open the folder where this document is imported to
    3. Nothing

    The global option is not convenient.

    Thanks for submitting your feedback. We’ll consider it for future updates. In the meantime, you can select the exact pages you want to export in the thumbnail view and deselect the “concept” pages.

  7. There are two small improvements for UX.

    1. When a user exports some of his/her pages, he/she goes into the grid view, selects a few pages, presses "export" and share it, then presses "Done" and "Close" to continue working. It is worth noting that, "Done" is on the top right corner of the window, yet "Close" is on the top left, with "Select" on the right. That means, if he/she doesn't look carefully or press "Done" twice, he/she will again enter the selection mode, rather than quickly returning to work. (See video1). This could be confusing.
      I suggest rearranging the…

  9. It is very troublesome for me to change my typeface,colour and text size。So I think it is necessary to set three buttons and I can set different text configuration and change it when I press these buttons。

  11. I’ve been using notesplus and it has the option of drawing a circle instead of going to the toolbar to select the laso/lazo. If there’s no intention of moving the content rounded, it automatically becomes the circle you have drawn.

  13. App is almost perfect! Would love the ability to choose which functions appear in the phone version due to the limited real estate... like pen, shape & camera all next to each other... thanks!

  14. Sehr geehrtes GoodNotes-Team,
    Erstmal ein Riesen großes Dankeschön- mir als Medizinstudentin erleichtert Ihre App auf meinem IpadPro 12.9 (Version 2020) wirklich das Leben !
    Eine ganz große Bitte habe ich allerdings an Sie. Es wäre wirklich sehr sehr viel effizienter und übersichtlicher für mich als Nutzerin, wenn es möglich wäre PDF-Dateien so zu importieren, dass mehrere Seiten auf einer Seite zu sehen sind. Wenn ich alles nur als eine Seite in GoodNotes importiere ist das sehr schnell sehr unübersichtlich und außerdem weniger praktisch bezüglich der Zeichentools!
    Leider muss ich derzeit jede Vorlesung erst auf meinem Computer mit dem Print-to-PDF-Tool vorbereiten,…

  16. The BOOK of PDF version has cover and table of contents, which will lead to the inconsistency between the page number displayed in the software in the bottom right corner and the page number in the book catalog, which will cause great inconvenience to turn the book, so there should be the function of custom page number to customize the first page

  17. Could you please add a search function into the trash area so we can search trashed notebooks - we search using job numbers so this would be very handy in this area as well.

  19. A way where one could zoom out of the pages, so you could see all of your pages in that file. Like in Word/Pages.

  20. Could we have a mode that defaults to simple shapes for the shape tool? My handwriting is terrible... but if I draw something that remotely looks like a rectangle, I want it to be a rectangle, not some other weird shape.

    So maybe only allow circles, squares, rectangles, triangles? Something along these lines...
