  5. Current state of the art in remote proctoring of exams is for students to be monitored via a webcam by a real person. As the exam is uploaded there is still room to cheat or to have someone else impersonate you. Handwritten exams have to be scanned at the end for upload. This service is not really available right now due to the lockdown and Universities are scrambling to find solutions that any way secure.
    If you write out your exam via goodnotes and you can record the forward facing cam and attach the two as a file this might…

  6. Have the option to have multiple default text font options like Notability does. Having to change each time to make a different font or font size is very tedious so having the option to have some preset font options in font style and size will make Goodnotes unbeatable!

  10. Please add the feature to Read and write a comments on imported PDF documents. Allow this feature in general as not everything can be written in a single page and this feature will allow to put little details on a small box which only opens when clicked. This is also great for productivity.

  11. I know, this suggestion sounds strange at the beginning. But if you take a moment to think about it, actually, it makes perfect sense:
    1. The best part of goodnotes is not editing text but handwriting strokes. Thus, when text from a keyboard is converted to handwriting strokes, it would be much much easier for majority iPad users.
    2. Save a lot of terrible handwriting users, like me. And it also makes notes look more consistent. :-)
    3. I guess it would not be too difficult to implement, just let the app pretend to get some perfect user handwriting.

  12. I want the highlighter function to have option to work like eraser—use once and then automatically ‘snap back’ to writing tool. I often am writing, then want to highlight one thing, and immediately go back to writing, and when I do that a lot, clicking back on writing tool becomes a pain.

  13. First of all, I wanted to propose an improvement to the pencil, asking for more types of strokes like a real pencil. A good example is the apple notes, which are very realistic and good. Improve compatibility with Apple Pencil, being able to tilt it and make it thicker, the example is the same as the previous one.
    Secondly, I wanted to propose a new tool that can insert links into a note that takes us directly to the browser.
    I also wanted to propose that they join the Apple Files app, so you can open them directly from there.…

  14. For example, tapping the pen icon will open the pen menu. Tapping that icon again does not close the menu, but it should.

  15. It would be great if you could disable the automatic synchronization feature for a certain selected file. Thereby, huge files can be stored only on the device that has enough storage.

  17. The latest edition of Goodnote has cancelled the brushstrokes. It is really disturbing. Please return the tip of a writing brush or we have no choice but to use other app which can provide the brushstokes function. Please!!!

  19. Hello, there is a bug in version for the MacOs: 10.15.4.

    I am not able to undo anything, unless I add a textbook in the notes. That is, if I start to draw, then neither command + Z, not undo option in "Edit" do anything. If I put a text block on a page, then undo becomes available.

  20. For the presentation mode, add invisibility for the following tools: the lasso dotted lines, the eraser area, notes and ink. For example, objects may be selected and moved without the audience seeing the dotted lines of the lasso tool. Or a fill in the blank page can be shown without the audience seeing the answers.
