  1. I often have to switch from searching by name, to the most recent document. Having the banner with date, name on the top center of the screen was very convenient. Either I changed a setting or the banner was removed and now a much more tedious process of going through the drop down menu. Please return the banner to the top of the page, or make it an option like "header".

  2. Game changer app Rock Daily Planner, combine what I was looking for since first Apple pencil came. Calendar based notes with hand writing. It can replace my go- around notes management where with templates I simulate functional calendar …. My most desired approach for note taking (in business)

  3. Hi,
    In class, we tried to collaborate on vocabulary by having each student write down a portion of the words in a separate study set. The idea was that at the end of the lesson, we could merge all the sets into one, so everyone has the complete vocabulary list.

    Unfortunately, we realized that Goodnotes doesn’t currently allow merging study sets, which makes this workflow impossible. Instead of learning with 30 different study sets, it would be great to have a feature that lets us combine multiple sets into one.

    Would love to see this added—does anyone else think this…

  4. It would be really helpful to have something that warns the user that there is writing already on the document to prevent overwriting. Sometimes when writing on a page, it doesn't fully load for a very long time and turns up blank.

  5. Goodnotes has been added to windows which is great, however the user experience is poor when it comes to using something like a Wacom tablet connected to the PC. Often times strokes will be cut off half way through writing or deleted entirely I imagine this could be fixed with a quick update.

  7. I find the application very good and practical, but I think it could be improved a lot if some key functions were added. For example, the possibility of creating tables similar to those in Word, with the option to give them custom colors and formats, which would help a lot to organize the information in a visual and orderly way. It would also be very useful to have brushes to highlight, underline or customize annotations in a more dynamic way. In addition, I consider it important that documents can be sorted according to my preferences and not only by date…

  8. More features on the "type with keyboard" tab, such as highlight, superscript and subscript, and maybe even equations in keyboard (for all of us math students)

  10. I wanna say yes and and improve the Index Post-It idea. It makes navigating in the digital notebook almost impossible when you don‘t have guiding index post-it‘s on the side, especially if the content of the study is already quite big by it‘s nature, like the German Grammer. Having the ability to put it would make Goodnotes equal with the paper book alternative. But having it as a Structure-Tree would make it even better.

    I have drawn a simple UX Sketch here. The idea is to give the Content Structure Tree its own extended module to be able to freely…

  11. A eye dropper for the pen and high lighter because a lot of people use this app to study or for calendars (including myself) and some people like to group things with high lighters or underline and it’s pretty hard going back and checking if you got the right color or if it’s slightly lighter or darker especially with the highlights

  14. Goodnotes is the best and only app for me in terms of handwritten notes of any kind on my iPad. The only update I have been waiting is TAGS.

  15. Being able to type documents and adding text fields to handwritten docs is great, but the style options (fonts, text size, …) are quite limited.
    I would really enjoy more advanced typing features to make the experience of typing documents feel closer to Microsoft Word oder Apple Pages.
    I know the focus of GoodNotes is still handwriting, but just little improvements like making it more accessible/quicker to change fonts or text style (or even keyboard shortcuts) would enhance the experience of being able to use just one app for handwritten and typed notes!

  16. I love reading PDFs with GoodNotes on my tablet, because it is comfortable, and I can highlight and scribble notes.

    Sometimes I'm reading a paper and it will keep referring to a figure on a previous page. I would love to temporarily lassoo that figure, and keep it as a floating window/overlay while I'm otherwise normally scrolling, reading, and marking the document.

    Think of this as similar to the "Document split view" of some word processors, but much more flexible, and taking much less space away from the main document view.

  18. When in use, it often leads to accidental finger touches that trigger the long-press function for adding comments, thereby interrupting the writing process. This issue occurs very frequently and significantly affects the user experience. I hope a switch can be added to disable this function.
