  2. I have a music notebook and you already have staff paper for transcriptions in music notation. I like that a lot. I have some other apps like iGigBook and Musicnotes which accept commands from a Bluetooth page turner. It has two pedal switches; one for forward navigation, and the other for reverse navigation of a multi page score of music. I can play hands free without the need for a human page turner. Or having to stop at every page boundary to tap the screen for the next page. Can you please add this functionality? Thank you, and good work…

  3. There should a feature which allows to add definitions to words. If you tap a word you can write up a definition for it and upon tapping on it later you can see what it means. Like flash cards built into your writing.

  4. When I use goodnote to note my unknown words in a GRE practice, I need to copy the words for Third-party dictionary and note the definition in zoom view, but in zoomed window I can't copy.

  5. When inserting screenshots in the flashcards function, they are blurred when queried, making it difficult to read. It would be great if this could be improved e.g. if the flashcards are displayed over the whole screen.

  6. Es wäre ganz hilfreich, wenn es bei den Geometrie-Objekte auch ein Objekt für fertige Koordinatensystem gäbe. Eventuell welche, die mit festen Abstand funktionieren oder sich an das karierte Batt anpassen.

  7. Please add an option to remotely delete documents when they have been compromised. As a medical student, I have my iPad often times stolen by classmates. It would be great to have some sort of a backup for such cases.

  9. New user, great app.
    Perhaps consider allowing for a/some window to be detachable and freely floating.
    A user might make a bunch of personal elements (bulletpoints, arrows,...) and have it be available. Currently there's only a non-modal thumbnail view available in the navigation bar.

    Making this modal, undockable would increase efficiency for those that use this item repeatedly.

  10. If we select some page on a page and do not deselect it, I cannot select text on another page. First, I have to go to the original page deselect the page by clicking elsewhere, and then select text on another page.
    I use GoodNotes on iPad when I want to write something, but for just reading and highlighting, and underlining I use the monitor. I feel the experience on the macOS app related to highlighting and underlining can be improved a lot.

  14. I currently „struggle“ a lot with this.
    What I mean is, it would be nice if you are able to cut of the end of your paper. For example, in school you have to work on a task and write something down but the next task is a document. Then there’s a lot of space between the handwritten task and the document.
    It would be great if you could be able to shorten the page and not just change the layout, because I often don‘t know in the beginning if I have to use a whole page or just a…

  15. Add a keyboard echo so users can hear what they are typing.

    Please consider (even if votes are not as high as other requests) as this would help low vision users. A student I work with would benefit greatly from this.

  16. A feature that would allow you to put transparent lines/ grid over any page and can be added and removed when needed to assist with note taking. This would be incredibly helpful when annotating imported documents such as powerpoint slides. The feature would help people make their notes neat and tidy.

  17. to import ppt or PowerPoint file to The goodnote, we need to convert it to PDF then import them, for ease of use, it's good to import it directly and good note convert it to pdf automatically.

  18. Add a feature, so that the pen size stays the same pixel amount, no matter how much the user zooms in, similar to how the rubber always looks like the same size.
    I am so confused not to have found a lot of this request before, since i really get annoyed of not having this function.
    Whenever i zoom in, in order to write something in a smaller space, i would really appreciate not having to change the pen width/size manually.

    Besides that i really like your App :)

  19. When we left-handed people (and i guess it’s the same problem for right-handed people at the right side of the page) write on goodnotes , we cannot rest the left hand on the screen of the ipad while writing when beginning a sentence, because the paper cannot be moved around. So our hand is always partly on the edge of the ipad partly on the table.

    So if it was possible to pull and push the paper around on the ipad as we want, we could calmly rest our left hand on the screen when writing. To understand what i…

  20. In comparison to Safari there is always this bug, that when i import a pdf-document from the chrome browser, it often won’t be the usual size, but it is too small. Can be seen in the picture.
