  4. Rotate with lasso tool WITHOUT changing the scale.

    This has been posted several times but no update from the devs about it. I NEED to be able to rotate without changing the size of a selection. This severely reduces the usability for me I know it can’t be difficult to add a lock on the size!

  8. Please provide more than one pen tool feature

    I take notes with diff colour and diff size of pen so every time,I have to select size and colour if you provide more than one pen feature then it is easy to choose pen which is customised on my preference of size and colour. After that i have to choose only pen instead of choosing size and colour every time like notability. Please add that feature.

  10. Dictionary or Translator Request

    For requesting dictionary or translator, other apps such as Book in all iOS can do touch or tap in PDF file so I can read and take note in PDF file that is academic paper for taking some importance note like unknown word's for better understanding when I comeback to read.

    I feel a bit sad when my GoodNote cannot do like that. However, I don’t sure it’s hard or not if developer will add dictionary or translator into GoodNote by default.

  11. Voice to text

    Having the capability to convert spoken words into written text, also known as voice to text transcription, is an invaluable tool that has the potential to revolutionize the way you capture and retain information. Imagine being able to effortlessly transcribe a lecture word by word, facilitating an efficient process for transforming spoken content into written form. Furthermore, this feature opens up the possibility of seamlessly integrating the transcription process with note-taking techniques such as the popular Cornell notes method. By merging these two powerful tools, you enhance your learning experience by creating a comprehensive and organized repository of information gleaned…

  12. Stickers need to show the text while you adjust them / Infinite Canvas, ect

    When I need to adjust the size, the sticker is brought to the front over the text. Also, I’m surprised I need to day this but GoodNotes still doesn’t have an infinite canvas. Another thing that FreeForm has is how it’ll post a preview of the website when you add a Hyperlink. And this app is FREE. It even has more pen types to play with.

    The only reason I still use GoodNotes is because of its Export. Just do what FreeForm can do. Also, a useful tip: If you need Infinite Canvis, just double the page size from A3…

  14. TAPE TOOL

    This feature is used by Notability app. I’ve seen that some of people already mentioned this idea, but they had a really small amount of votes. This tool allows to cover a part of text or a note in order to test yourself. This feature is similar to the “cloze” flashcard in Anki and I think that it would be a perfect solution for students that like to learn from their notes

  15. Turn handwritten titles into links

    I would love to be able to use the lasso tool to select a handwritten word in a notebook and have that take me to a particular section in my notes. I know you can link to a certain page, but from my knowledge the link must be typed and I would like to be able to be able to link to a section of the screen. This could maybe be done by zooming into a certain section that you want to link to and having a button up the top allowing you to save that position in the screen…

  16. Edit/Crop Audio Clip

    Hi! Sometimes I forget to stop the audio clip and it continues to record leaving me with so much wasted data space and unnecessary long clips that I can't edit or shorten. If we just had the feature to simply edit the audio clip, that would be AMAZING.

  19. Table of Contents

    Please create an auto-generated table of contents template, that can also be edited. This should include an option to sort by date, through your outline, or topics.

    Someone else said "Allow me to select the text, eg my page heading like (meeting to discuss projected financial) and then click on a button which shoots the page heading to an automatically generated table of contents in the front of the Notebook. Table of contents will be built using all the specified headings, and should also display the date of that entry for easy reference." THIS IS GREAT AND SO HELPFUL.
