  1. It would be awesome if eraser could erase parts of images i paste in. It would make edits to a scan or a screenshot so much easier. Currently i have to lasso a blank part of the page, take a screenshot of that empty blob and paste it over where i want to erase. Allowing the eraser to actually edit the pasted image would be really slick.

  2. 目前使用的mac端goodnote存在严重的掉帧问题,尤其是在放大缩小页面,以及垂直滚动时,只有过降低app分辨率来缓解,但依旧卡顿

    无论是ipad还是mac,使用触控板双指上下滑动页面时,无法停顿(打断滑动),其他app在页面滑动过程中若再次将双指放到触控板上,滑动便会被打断。goodnote无法做到这点,这导致需要大量翻页时十分难受。

  3. Dublicate selection by select, hold, drag and let go. Like copy and paste but quicker.

  4. Apple did not introduce a horizontal split view in portrait mode in iPadOS 15 and will probably not care to do so in the coming years.
    Introduce a top-bottom horizontal split view in portrait mode, so that you can show a full-width part of a text book / lecture / exercise sheet at the top and your notes on the bottom on the 12.9 inch iPad.
    Right now you need to switch between tabs. Every. Single. Time.
    This is an essential feature for every student and a must-have for GoodNotes!

  5. I write my notes in the black template with some white writing and it's impossible to print my notes this way. Having a feature that automatically identified white text in the selected pages and also changed the template would be so helpful for the process of printing!

  6. When i am annotating lecture PDF, I read through one chapter and then want to skip to to the start to make notes into my mac. Being able to skip forward and backward to the closest bookmark would mean a word to me.
    And I am not alone, am I?

  7. It would be awesome to have “snap to” guide lines on the page to paste text lined up evenly on the edge (or wherever) on the page. I like to copy inspirational quotes and Bible verses and add them to my “Notebook”…it would be great if they could be lined up easily without adding to existing text boxes so they can easily be rearranged at any time.

  8. Hello, I am a Korean student who is using the GoodNotes very well. If I write Korean with a pen, my handwriting gets ugly. But If you take notes with laser points, your handwriting gets way much prettier!! If you add a pen that has the exact same writing experience as the laser point, I think I'll be able to use the GoodNotes very happily. Thank you!

  9. I use a lot of screenshot capture using a noose.
    In this case, the image quality drops a lot.

    I wish it could be modified to convert the PDF into an image.
    In this case, an image of 300 dpi will be less degraded. 600dpi is great.

  11. Insert Stickers in the center of the current view. Currently it’s centered on your current page, so you always have to zoom out, lasso it, pull it to your view area and then zoom in to improve the alignment.

  12. It would be cool if I could search for a drawing in GoodNotes (example shown in the attached image). Currently, GoodNotes' search bar only accepts a text input, since GoodNotes uses Optical Content Recognition (OCR). The search feature would be even more powerful if I could also draw something in the search field, and find matching/similar occurrences of that drawing.

    In addition to helping me search for diagrams, this would also help with searching for handwritten text that wasn't accurately converted using OCR.

    Thank you for taking the time to review this! :)

  13. 笔记定义的时候只能够基于单种语言进行OCR,在iOS 15发布后留意到Live Text可以实现多语种同时OCR识别,是否有可能调用API实现多语种同时OCR,尤其是对于学科笔记而言,以中文为主体记录,但很难避免会部分出现数字或英文单词,这个时候会识别不到。

  15. Making flashcards takes time.
    We could save a lot of time by just flipping the pages with notes.
    By doing so we could use our notes as answers and we only need to come up with some questions for that specific slide.

  16. A feature where you can filter Outline topics for example if I created an Outline and called it "Javascript Variables" and pages 2-6 are related to "Javascript Variables" I'd like to filter by that topic only.

  19. A highlighter option that changes the colour of your notes by just highlighting the text instead of using the colour option on the lasso tool.

    Would be very helpful as I no longer use the normal highlighter because it looks ugly.

  20. Currently the actions that can be performed on a selection show up as a horizontal list, which means that they are very spread out and require relatively large movements to reach (for instance "delete" is to the far right).

    I propose replacing it with a wheel-like menu, where the actions are indicated by icons rather than spelled out, like in the attached drawing. This would make all actions easily accessible without moving the pen very far.
