  1. Audio Ausgabe für geschriebenes

    Hallo, mir würde ein Feature welches den geschriebenen Text ausspricht sehr gefallen (wie beim Google Übersetzer). Dadurch könnte ich mein Lernen sehr viel verbessern in dem ich es vorgelesen bekomme.

    Wäre es möglich dieses Feature in Zukunft einzubauen?

  2. Highlighting makes me go crazy sometimes

    Just by a slight movement, the line won’t be straight when I highlight some words in a text. Please make it possible to add a feature where we can select just do have completely straight highlighting lines or freestyle highlighting.

  3. Importing documents from Office (Powerpoints.etc) and from Mac Share button

    As medical students, we get a lot of different files to annotate and study. Goodnotes is an awesome app and without it, I couldn't stay organized.

    However, I have noticed two big flaws, and fixing them would greatly grow user satisfaction.

    1st:
    It would be good to get an option for Goodnotes to Mac's share button like in iPadOS. It would be a quicker way to add content to Good note without dragging and importing separate documents.

    2nd:
    It would be awesome to be able to import .pdf files as well as Powerpoint and .docx files to document with and…

  4. change the order of flashcards when one is marked as unknown

    when i mark a flashcard as unknown it automatically re-shows it to me, which isn't very helpful considering i just saw it. it would be more beneficial if it was like quizlet and showed the unknown cards a few cards afterwards so that there's time to "forget it" and recall it again.

  6. Show recent files from GoodNotes in Files Finder on iPad, iPhone, and Mac

    It would be great to see recent files/notes I’ve saved in GoodNotes in the Files app on iPad and iPhone and Finder on Mac as well as the Spotlight on Mac to make search easier. Thanks!

  7. better OCR recognition

    When I scan a multi-page document through GoodNotes or import a scanned document, the saved quality is not sufficient, so that - in contrast to Notify - not all text passages are found when searching.

    This is clear if you look at the file sizes between Notify and GoodNotes during the backup.

  10. Copy / Paste with Eraser

    Love the copy / paste function with the lasso. But often the lasso does not catch everything of a written line, some little fragments are not copied. So I have to go back and set the lasso again to catch all fragments. Very nerving. It would be great if you could do copy / paste with the eraser too. Meaning everything from your last erase will be automatically copied to the clipboard. Then you can tap&hold to paste with the regular pencil, just like pasting with the lasso.

  11. Lasso parts of an image/picture

    Please add the option to select and copy parts of the inserted image using the lasso tool.
    For example: if there’s an image with 12 numbers in it and you want to use each of the numbers separately, you should be able to lasso each of them and copy it to the same page, instead of having to make multiple copies of the same image and having to crop each one of them to become a single number you need.

  12. text processing

    imrpoved text processing like oneNote, Notes, pages or word.
    please add more text processing features for use on macs like writing on a page without the limiting textbox, list features etc.
    goal: preparing notes during a phonecall with the keyboard, adding texts, lists or preparing a meeting summary directly in GN instead of preparing in Notes or other apps and pasting it to GN afterwards.
    this is the reason our workflow still relies on other party apps instead of organizing everything in GN.
    love to see more macbook - keyboard/mouse text processing features!

  13. Checkbox option for backups

    Instead of having to add a tag word on each document and then exclude the tag, make a checkbox option. This should be available for folders and individual documents. Default would be backup.

  16. Add space under written text

    I'm currently taking a math class and the exam reviews don't leave sufficient space underneath the text so I can work out the problem. So it would be really efficient if we could add a white space or whatever is preferred, right below where we need space to write in. I know we could just add a page, but there's usually more than like 8 problems per page that I don't want to waste time writing out separately.

  17. Fix the bug that doesn't allow fixing zoom window return height

    When you import custom templates, the zoom window return height doesn't change even when you change its value to a similar value that the other default templates of the same size have. For example, I import A3 templates and even though I change the height to ~30, the zoom window always jumps way lower, a whole unit of its height below, instead of just a line like in the default goodnotes templates.

    Many users import custom made templates and it gets inefficient always having to place the window where it should be.

  19. Old features

    So, I personally think the app is getting better but, recently the feature that allowed us to draw straight lines, circles, arrows, graphs, etc have changed a little bit. It is less fluent and I can’t do 2 lines that will stick together automatically for example. Which I was able to do in the past. So it is impossible for me now to draw straight arrows or graphs which is quite frustrating because I used to use these features a lot. Now the lines are straight BUT no longer automatically horizontal or vertical you know ? You can maybe add…

  20. make folders in templates

    a template group can have a lot of templates, which can make it difficult to still have an organised overview. when putting templates into folders within a template group, it can make it easier to find and pick the desired template.
