  2. please add a feature where the ball pen has a tip sharpness, i dislike the way it looks and enjoy that more rigid writing style without the added pressure, such as the fountain pen

  4. I love reading and studying on goodnotes but the only downside is while reading is immersive thanks to full screen. Writing introduces an unnecessary number of button clicks to start writing, and distracts from the material

    If there was a Focus Mode, which was full screen and only allowed writing in one stroke type and erasing using the Apple Pencil. That would drastically improve my focus and ability to study.

  6. To improve the accuracy of handwriting searches, it would be ideal if the user could edit the recognition results to some extent.
    My handwriting is clean, but sometimes there are spaces in words such as English words, and when this happens, they are not found in searches.
    Also, no matter how many times I rewrite my handwriting, it is always different in GOOD NOTES, so I can't search for it.
    I am a Japanese speaker, so I use hiragana, kanji, and katakana, and I sometimes write in English and other languages. I expect it would be difficult to recognize them…

  7. This is not a major, groundbreaking change, but I think it’d be incredibly useful for some use cases if GoodNotes showed the date that notes were created as well as when they were last modified.

    I often want to go back to notes that were created around a particular date, such as, say, November 2016. Once I make a change to an old note I currently have no way of knowing when it was originally created. I do a lot of planning that requires knowing when documents were created, which is making me regret having stored my docs in GoodNotes…

  8. Problem: sending pdf files to GoodNotes via e-mail the home screen is updated with new files and pdf extension is added to the file’s name, what it turns out to be MyFileName.pdf.pdf when the edited pdf file is exported.

    Solution: Adding a favicon to the top left indicating it’s a pdf file and removing the .pdf from file’s name itself.

  9. On outlines page Currently when you long press an outline you can only delete it or change its name, an option to go to the that page could be really useful.

    Right now the only way to this to go to the thumbnails, then to the outlines, then to the page, then to the thumbnails again.

    Something like the one in the picture could be small thing to add and could be pretty useful

  10. When studying flashcards on iOS, the card is severely minimized to the point where the text can’t be read. Not all people use flashcards for single words or short texts. It’d be better for the whole question portion to be maximized in full screen when studying the flashcards in landscape mode, then have the answer show up in fullscreen next.

  12. Create a way for a written note to become an Asana task. This feature would improve our efficiency greatly.

  17. It would be very helpful if we are given the ability to select several images and import them all at once. This will save time and it will make it easier to work with projects that require a collection of photos. One way I would use this is to upload multiple pictures into flashcards. I think it would also be great for journaling. A feature like this will help speed up my workflow. It is a nice productivity feature.

    My workflow would be much more efficient if I could multiple images simultaneously instead of individually, since I work with images…

  18. I like using the blank page for my note taking as it allows me the freedom of note taking style. However, when I start writing paragraphs I end up with slanted, is there any chance you add a toggle switch that allows the user to toggle lines on the page temporary and switch them off when done, so we can have straight paragraphs please. Thanks! I seriously can’t live without GoodNotes!

  19. Es wäre hilfreich, wenn beim durchgehen der Lernkarten auch der Fortschritt angezeigt und gespeichert wird, wenn nicht alle Karten durchgegangen werden, oder zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt weiter gelernt wird. Außerdem wäre es toll, wenn man den Fortschritt separat abrufen könnte.

  20. When I read, the large amount of text on the page made it inconvenient for me to add annotations and notes, especially when I needed to quote passages from other works and had no space. Adding blank pages at the bottom of the page makes turning pages difficult and text cannot be joined.
    If a new feature could be added to add blank pages to the left and right of the page, capped at two pages, that would work even better and I would not want to use another notes app.
