  2. Hello! I love annotating and i think it would be interesting if there was a feature where in when you want to annotate, it acts like a highlighter but you can click on the higlighted word/phrase and add in your thoughts. A cleaner way to annotate :)

    And lastly there are times wherein i want to erase my highlights but unfortunately even my drawings would be erased :( i hope theres a way to easily erase highlighters rather than pressing the undo button

  6. It would be great to be able to add writing to the diagrams in the study sets- I was able to quickly add photos from power points into the "add image" mode with the three icons at the top of the page but after making a bunch of flashcards realized that when I clicked the pen icon the diagram disappeared and I couldn't get it back! It would be more efficient to write on the diagram versus having to upload a photo from the camera roll to write on it. It would be nice to be able to write on…

  8. The upper toolbar, where we the share-button or the undo-button are sadly is in a dark grey colour. I would wish that the customer can choose an arbitrary colour or even theme for this upper toolbar. For example OneNote is purple and in Notability the theme of the background and the toolbar can be changed.
    Thanks in advance.

  9. Imagine having a notebook for a specific subject like gravity in physics. Having to look up the formulas is unnecessary and requires to open two goodnote windows. What if there was a drop down or draggable smaller window that shows them specific for the notebooks with own written notes?

  10. The same colour and size is selected while annotating for Pen tool and Drawing Box/circle/shape tool by default . I hope the team works on this in future updates and lets users have separate colours for each tool and not necessarily default choice, so each time we switch tools it doesn’t hamper the flow

  11. Especially University Students will have to use f.e. Excel Files saved on OneDrive or Websites in their studies.

    It would be nice to be able to embed OneDrive links or Internet-Hyperlinks as Elements in Goodnotes folders, so that you have every data related to your studies in one place and in one view.

    Suggestion:
    When creating an element in GoodNotes, we use the „+“sign on the top left.
    One of the Options shown could be „Embed Link“.
    There can then be an interface to enter the link and choose a Name for the Element.
    Maybe let us also choose/customize the…

  12. My suggestion is to add a feature that enables changing the size, font, color etc of individual words within the same text box, without affecting the formatting of the entire text. This would provide more flexibility and precision in formatting text, and make it easier to create professional-looking documents.

  13. Hello, everyone! I'd like to recommend you https://getmp3.pro, a program that allows you to easily convert any YouTube video to MP3 format. I use it to download music to my phone and it's really convenient and free. I also really like that the service works very fast and without any restrictions. If you love listening to music, you should definitely try this service! It will make your life one step easier and more enjoyable.

  14. I’m left handed and purchase my digital planners in portrait mode. When I write on GoodNotes I flip my iPad to landscape. When flipping to landscape I do lock my screen on the iPad but I’d also like to lock the document itself. When you purchase a portrait planner and flip to landscape the orientation is small so you have to zoom in, but when doing so the page can still move around. Please offer an option to lock the document.

  15. when resizing handwriting or images, allowing the user to snap back to the original size would be helpful as some people may only want to rotate/change orientation of the object without changing size.

  17. I read a lot of papers from Arxiv, which are of the form https://arxiv.org/pdf/XXXXXXXX.pdf

    I would like to import a pdf to read directly from the link. Right now, I have to download the paper, store it in hard drive, import it in Goodnotes, then delete the file. This creates unnecessary steps and I have to delete the files later anyways. Would be great if I could import pdf directly from a link that links to a pdf.

    In OneNote, I can directly import pdf to OneNote notebook using a Chrome extension.

  19. When in the pen tool with pressure sensitivity scaled to absolute minimum there is still a pressure sensitivity, at the very end of the scale there should be an option for zero sensitivity, whatever I have selected for line thickness is exactly how it comes out!!
