  1. The writing produced in goodnotes is too choppy and not as smooth as the writing produced in the Noteshelf app. Apart from how good your handwriting is, the resulting curves in each handwriting looks more realistic. Please improve the writings produced in GoodNotes so it results in smoother curves and handwriting.

  3. Through log in to a GoodNotes account we should be able to synch data between several devices. (iCloud is sometimes not allowed on company devices). Or allow central data storage (not only backup) at google drive, etc.

  5. Please allow for more options when spacing the distance between paragraph lines. Right now, the lines are spaced at a "double-space" distance.

  6. The shape and line recognition feature is great but would be even better if I could draw a filled shape.

  8. Add a "drift mode" for writing in zoom mode (not in the zoom window). I hat writing in the zoom window. I much prefer to write directly page, however doing so when zoomed in requires me to manually scroll the page. It should move with me as I write, and I should also have a return button at the edge of the page to advance to the next line automatically.

  9. One day per page journals and planner style calendars would be extra useful especially if you can search by date.

  11. The handwriting conversion is excellent, but it could do with a couple changes. Having to lasso the text on each page is tedious. Please enable the ability to convert a single page or an entire notebook with a single click. Also give the option to maintain or ignore single end of line breaks. Maintain double line breaks to keep paragraphs.

  14. I love the pen tool in Goodnotes! But I want more custom pens to chose from on the fly. Currently, only the zoom window gives me the choice of three colors. Why can't we have this in the main toolbar at the top? Also, I'd like to set different thicknesses for my customs pens so I can switch between a fine blue pen and a thick red pen with one tap. This would speed up my grading a lot! Thanks!

  15. I would like to know if you could add a function to scan the photos that we take like enhancing the image and cropping automatically (detecting the borders), it would be very useful. I use this app to take notes on the slides provided by the professors during the lectures, however sometimes they change some slide and I usually take a photo of the screen and I import it to my file but the quality is not the same if I use an app that scan images.

  16. I read and annotate a lot of PDFs. Some of these PDFs although very compressed and have relatively small size (~30MB). Have lots of pages (200 plus). When I attempt to export back to PDFs, for review on my computer, the file becomes too big (>200MB) to transfer to my computer.

    Please incorporate a PDF like editing engine ( e.g.Adobe, Goodreader, etc) to control the size of exported PDFs with large number of pages)

  17. As teachers, we use this to take pictures of lessons on which we are working, allowing students to highlight and write on the photos. Students also create short presentations of their work, which we record. It would be awesome to be able to insert video into Goodnotes!

  18. I'd like to see arrows, for dimensional drawings, in shape recognition mode. Even better would be including the handwriting recognition with this to create something like

    | <------ 3 1/2" ------> |

    Using the stylus. Also curves. I'm sketching some planned remodeling and being able to draw doorways and add dimensions easily would help.

  19. Wie wäre es mit einer Stempel Funktion um sich eigene Stempel zu erstellen und diese zB mit bei Unterschriften einzufügen?
    Natürlich kann man das via Bilder machen - aber dies zu integrieren wäre natürlich netter

  20. There is a maximum magnification with the zoom window - please remove the limitation to simply allow to write as small as the user wants

    Remove the fixed proportion of the zoom window because it fixes the line height when performing carriage return

    Alternatively use auto advance functionality in regular zoom mode (not the window). Then you don't need the zoom window any more
