  1. I am a Maths teacher from Vietnam. I love technology. About 2 years ago, I came across your Goodnotes application, which was the number one paid application in AppStore and I felt lucky that I bought it. I got excited and engrossed in your app at the very first time I used it. I work with Mathematics problems very frequently. When using Goodnotes, the problems become much easier and more intriguing. I learned a lot from these and thanks to it, my students got many prizes in local competitions. I wrote a “long essay” to you in the reviews section…

  2. the latest version of goodnotes seem to have made a little bit of change on the handwriting improvement algorithm to make the end of the writing thicker, which makes it less comfortable. Also, there is more delay of the writing. Please resume the previous algorithm.

  3. Sometimes I'm forced to use PDF Expert when annotating PDFs, because I can get a summary of the annotations. Hope you can add to GoodNotes, then I'll be able to use it all the time.

  4. You should add the possibility to view files’ and folders’ sizes in the goodnotes app. Also, you could add pages counter to see the total amount of pages in a certain notebook and which page we’re viewing (page 15/20). Also, you could add the possibility of viewing on the home page the total amount of notebooks in the app.

  6. The quality of imported images is really really bad! I can‘t read it sometimes or annotate anything because it has so many pixels.

  7. The written area, for example, can be resized (e.g. text field previously over the whole page, afterwards only on the left side). That would make it possible to write or take notes next to the previous text field without having to move the sentence parts individually so that there would be some space to take notes again.

  9. Okay so they did hierarchy but its kind of a pain to navigate. If you have many folders and are in one of the deeper folders you must keep pressing the back button until you get to your desired document. There should be a menu button (for instance near the Bookmarks button) that could be accessed to easily get from one document to another.

  10. You should be able to resize your selection horizontally only or vertically only. Sometimes I want to make something wider or taller and can’t. I have to just increase it in the 1:1 proportion. Please add this feature! Thank you!

  11. Allow the zoom feature to have gridlines or writing lings (horizontal only) (decided by the writer) in the zoom box even if the document is blank; this will make annotations neater (as they will be following straight lines). This would improve annotations massively.

    Thank you

  12. (This is not about adding a calligraphy pen itself.)
    I suggest adding a calligraphy mode, that similar to the app Over lets you type something and convert it to a nice style.
    This makes it possible to create good-looking headers easily without having to be a pro.

  14. Red sheet is unique to Japanese vocabulary books. As you know from the video, if you can use this sheet, it is definitely way easier to memorize various things such as vocabulary.

  15. When hand written text is selected, it would be a great feature to be able to perform a search on the selected text withou having go thru the sequence: convert->copy->open search->paste.

  17. One of my most used tools is the selection tool.

    However when resizing, it also rotates the selection which is really annoying.

    Would prefer if rotation occurred through pinching or separate box in another corner.

    Also add the Rectangular Selection.

  18. As there are different color palettes for the pens and the highlighter, it would be great if the colors displayed when selecting „change color“ over the context menu would adapt to the currently used tool.
    Currently it always displays the color palette from the pens.

  19. I love the new option with the eraser where it snaps back to the pen or highlighter tool once you are done with it and I think it would be great to see that with the selection tool too.

    Thanks for your consideration.
