  2. Currently to copy an element like a sticker, I have to lasso and then long-press, as if I just long-press on the sticker that option isn’t available. I can only zoom, edit, or paste. It seems like an unnecessary extra step, and I’d love for “copy” to be an option here.

  3. Every single time I paste text into GoodNotes from another source I have to resize, change font and MOST ANNOYINGLY undo the “indentation” and “misalignment” of text by using the return and backspace. The indentation happens even when the original text is all parallel and doesn’t have an indentation. I literally spend about 3-4 minutes each page just editing what I pasted to look uniform, parallel and neat. WHY!

  7. It takes way too much time to copy/paste items today. I would like to recommend a copy/paste buttons on toolbar and at the same moment to make the toolbar customisable.

  8. For me it would be Pretty helpful when there would be an Option To categorize the Pages i have marked as favourites.
    In every Semester i have about 4 different courses and for each course an own folder with probably some sub folders and when there is a page I would like to mark for later I can only use the one favourite button but I would love to have an own collection of pages marked as favourites for every folder/ for every course.
    So in the end I could have an collection of all the marked pages for one…

  9. I am constantly taking screenshots when I do research and I'm looking to gather them together into a notebook. I want to quickly paste screenshots into the notebook and also be able to add my personal notes next to them or directly on them. I wish I could do this immediately after taking the screenshot without having to go to my gallery to upload the image into GoodNotes. This will allow me to maintain my train of thought better and it will be less tedious. It will make my workflow much more effective. Since right now I have to go…

  11. Make it possible to zoom an image while cropping so that it can be cropped easier. Especially needed when the dimension of the rectangle I want to crop is very small.

  12. First chose the sentence or word range or something you want to hide to remember.
    Second , changes the mode normal to hide mode, then the range you chose first would be disappear , and if you want to check the answer of the range , the double tap the range.
    It will be more usable for all users.

  13. I use goodnotes to documents conditions in the field- taking lots of phots using the camera tool. I would like to be able to export those photos as JPG or TIFF or some photo format for using in other apps, like word for writting reports. The only way I have been able to export an actual photo is to share the individual photo. This is not efficient when I have hundreds of photos to upload. There should be a method to export the individual photos in a notebook all at once. Exporting the notebook as a pdf does not work…

  14. Due to the existence of arxiv, many people, take me as an example, will download preprint versions of an article and after quite sometime, when the published version appeared, one should also include that into the database. Now we have one preprint with your notes or comments on it, and another published one with higher reliability, it seems necessary to pin these two(or more) together to make life easier. Or if there are better solutions, welcome to comment!

  15. Suppose I have a 400 page textbook. I made an annotation somewhere in the PDF. No idea where, but I need to view/modify it. I need a way to view only the annotated pages from my notebook.

  16. Right now, the auto backups to google drive strip the PDFs of their outline. But we need the outline in order to navigate large files.

    The outline is one of the strengths of GoodNotes. Please allow auto backups with outline intact.

  17. I usually use GoodNote to take note from lecture and 80% of the time, the palm rejection did a good job. However, once in a while, the palm rejection will fail and it accepts the input from my resting fingers, which cause the unwanted zoom-in/zoom-out or movement of the page. This situation is very annoying because I have to adjust back to the original size and position of the page and keep writing. Sometimes this happen when I am still taking the note, and it really stop me from focusing the content on the lecture. I personally don't like my…

  18. When you scroll on Goodnotes, the paper seems to take too long to stop moving after swiping and you must wait until it stops before you can swipe again. Getting rid of some of this extra moving time would make the app feel a lot more fluid.

    There is also quite a bit more Apple Pencil latency when using it in Goodnotes vs a native app such as Apple notes. Not sure why this is but working on this aspect would boost the entire feel of the app and make it feel more integrated and polished.

  19. I'd like to be able to magnify the Page Grid View, i.e., increase the size of the Pages that I see in the Grid View. Yes, I would see less, but I'd be able to read the multiple pages at once.

    It helps me greatly to "see" multiple pages of what I wrote at once wrt to gaining a sense if the story arch I'm going for is there. I dont need to be able to read small words, but I would like to see large print, sketches, and other large objects on a page.

  20. I like writing on a black paper but then prefer to learn with a white one (also for exporting for my classmates and print). It would be awesome If we could for example set that everything written in white switches to black along with the paper. Bonus If we could set the other colours too.
