  1. In the app, highlighters are perfect, they lay behind the text, making it pop, and still doesn’t bother when reading it over again. When I want to convert my notes to share it with others, or printing it, PDF looks the best, sharpest. But after converting it, the highlight lays on top of the note making it less nice, and less readable. Is there any chance that we can still enjoy the notes as nice and sharp, even after converted to a PDF?

  3. Good Note is really good and I use it very well, but I have an opinion for a better note. For example, when I am studying English and try to write the meaning of an English word, I sometimes have to write the meaning very small in the English study materials because I don't have space to write the meaning in the English study materials. In case of this, it would be nice to have a function that allows you to see the meaning of the English word that I entered in advance by pressing the word. And if you…

  5. Notability has the feature of partial erase that erase by pixel rather than in blocks as GoodNotes has. This is important to people who draw their notes and make cartoons or diagrams.

    In GoodNotes, the eraser sizes are limited to three, and the smallest is way too large while the largest is too small.

    In GoodNotes, if I am erasing partially, the stroke is erased block by block and this prevents accurate erasure. It should work as accurately as the pens do.

  7. I think it would be very useful to have the ability to see and reorganize the list of open tabs. This way, when I have 20+ tabs open and I’m viewing the last document but also need to access the first tab I don’t need to swipe all the way to the first tab but can pull open the list view and click directly two the desired tab. If I find that I need to consistently switch between the two, I can reorganize the tabs and place them right next to each other.

  8. This is just a nonsense to not be available.. all we need is the exact same thing as the pencil stroke thickness, but for the eraser..

    Simple as that, the same 3 quick eraser sizes/thickness, but with the ability to customize those sizes, plzzzz... its 2020 and its a "simple" feature

  9. In this app the lasso tool is almost flawless, exept when you use it to copy an image from one note to the other.. you have to take a screenshot and then drag it or copy and past, when you could just lasso it and all those option would appear as floating options and we wouldnt be moved to a new page with only the screenshot of the image. Think about it ;)

  12. Need favourites form for pencil, highlighter and text.
    I usually use Good note 5 for Studying, and I feel it is not comfortable to using.
    If you make a form that I can set up my favourites pencil especially a typeof pencil and colour and what ever, It would be very useful for people. Also the Text function has problem. when i want to change the font, it is very inconvenience. Because you even didn't have "recently use".
    I really like Good note5. But some functions are really improved.

  14. Sorry, i really think that good notes was the best app overall to writing and using as notebook, but there's so much more user friendly features in notability that i cant live without.. and i used both apps arround the same time. Ill say the features you could had to make this app simply perfect:
    — the lack of a dark theme unless we get system wide dark mode is a bummer as i find your dark theme pretty good but i hate to use ios in dark mode
    — the tool bar has too many items and takes valuable…

  16. I usually write notes using the zoomed window at the top of the iPad because I consider more comfortable to rest my wrist on the glass than on the border of the tablet. Due to this position, I often tap the color/thickness/undo/redo/new page controls with my wrist. Could it be possible to have both the zoom window and the toolbar at the top or maybe near the zoom window’s one, or to have a touch rejection feature that disables the toolbar when the Pencil or the wrist are touching the screen?

  17. When I am inserting photos as a new page, I can only insert one photo at a time and could not insert more than one at a single instance.

    It saves lot of time for the users in case they want to insert screenshots of lessons they are going through online.

  20. My intended primary use for Goodnotes is to markup PDFs. These PDFs are already organised in Google Drive, and I would like to edit these files directly (rather than having the edited versions saved elsewhere).
