  1. It has been long time since GoodNotes announced on Twitter that they are planning to bring the app on different platforms but there is no app for Windows and android after years.

    If you can’t sync to Windows and android using iCloud please use Google Drive or any other third-party cloud service and please bring app to Windows, android and Web. Microsoft has already achieved this way earlier and should not be difficult for you as well.

    Every time I brought up this issue, you guys give same reason that you are looking for good engineers, is it the case…

  3. It would be great if we could chose the format, which the scanned document should have. Those white bars are failing in its look. Another option would be to make a tool, you can crop your page with and where you can also chose a format. Please do this :)

  4. The writing experience needs a for-real chisel point, fountain pen look. The app Notesplus has a gorgeous one, but I had to give it up because GoodNotes is better in every other way. But man, I miss it. See examples uploaded...

  5. Add a "glow" style to the pen types or color options, or the option to keep laser pointer markings permanently.

  7. I would love a pressure sensitive ball pen! I cannot make my writing look nice in any of the pens currently offered in GoodNotes - the fountain pen is too pressure sensitive, and the ball pen has no pressure sensitivity at all.

    GoodNotes outdoes every other note taking app I have used in every respect except the pen - my notes look much, much nicer in other apps, but they do not have the functionality I need, which GoodNotes offers.

    I would be sooo grateful for this feature!

  8. Have Libraries with Bookshelves to store the Notebooks

    what if goodnotes did not have FOLDERS but shelves and libraries. Example: i may have a "personal" library, a "work or professional" library, maybe one for my "clubs", and one for the uni or school.

    in the "school" library i may have a shelf for chemistry, one for biology, maths, languages etc. on the "language" shelf i might have notebooks for Eng, French, German, or Grammar, or Literature Autumn Semester 2021 etc...

  9. In goodnotes its not possible to change ink thickness after writing.
    To change ink thickness, one has to rewrite it with a different pen thickness.

    This is a basic requirement of a handwritting app

  11. Why can't we just simply drag and move the open tabs around? It's very frustrating to have to close tabs and reopen them in order just to have them in the desired order. I believe it's a simple necessary feature to be able to drag those tabs around to be more organized!

  12. When more than three tabs are open, the fourth one always reloads when you tap on it. I can live with that, it’s fast, but the annoying thing is that it goes back to standard scale every time. Very annoying.

    I also think that todays iPads can fit more than three tabs in the memory.

  13. The indent feature is currently only available on the left-hand side of pages. It would be very useful to have it on both sides.

  14. I love GoodNotes, and it's been a lifesaver with returning to grad school. I use it for all of my reading, which is all digitised this term, but as someone with a reading disorder, I would love if there was a way to turn on an accessible reading ruler, ideally with an adjustable size and colour overlay.

  15. It could be good that if the pen cursor of GoodNoted 5 for Mac is changed to the cursor in OneNote (simply a small dot instead of a cross).

  18. I share my Bullet Journal with a virtual assistant so she knows what I’m working on and can pick up tasks from it. But sharing for collaboration is all or nothing — every notebook and full editing permissions. Read-only permissions and collaboration on a single notebook would be helpful.

  19. The flash card studying window on a mac is not using the screen size. The window on an iMac is so small that the cards are only barely readable even if the application is opened as a full screen window.
