  2. I suggest you to absolutely add more settings for the new feature of typing mode, which allows users to write with pen and keyboard in the same page and in a better way.
    But I think you should allow users to change font, space between lines, change font dimension, ecc., just like is already possible in text box!.

    Please do it for us, I think it will be great making your app more and more complete and competitive, without doubt.

  3. I hope there will be a thumbnail/favorite/overview in the study set, just like when writing a regular notebook. It would be great to change the order of the study set or see various menus at a glance.

    Thanks you!

    1. Playback speeds at 1.25x 1.5x 1.75x 2x

      3. Option to split the voice recordings and edit them like cropping some segment of recording

          4. Option to enable Animated Preview of our recording, when    we would

  4. Hallo,

    ich nutze in der Schule sehr gerne Good notes auf dem IPad, aber Zuhause benutze ich nur Android Geräte würde aber dennoch gerne Good notes benutzen. Also konkret: Mein Wunsch ist Good notes für Android.

  5. Especially in PDFs and PowerPoint Presentations where you cannot add more room to write on or around the page, having the ability to add and create a collapsible “sticky note” on the page would be useful. An example is provided:

  6. ONE NOTE has a glitter pen option and adding this to good notes would make the notetaking app the best one out there!! I added an image example, seriously consider this so I can only use good notes and not have to bounce between apps all the time.

  8. Dear GoodNotes team,

    At the moment there is only the option of having dark paper as a background, which cannot be exported as a PDF in white, as the handwritten text remains white.

    I thought of a few methods how to use dark paper, which is easier on the eyes, but can still be exported on white paper.

    Method 1:

    New intelligent template, which is based on the dark mode settings.

    - Dark Mode enabled: Dark paper and white ink
    - Dark Mode disabled: White paper and black ink
    

    Method 2:

    New Background setting, which changes the appearance of the…

  9. Now it only support one level outline, but it's far from enough for me. I really need multi-level outlines to better manage my notes, especially for many professional textbooks whose content is very complicated.

    Please add this feature!

    And if the multi-level outlines can support expand and collapse according to the level, it will be much better!

    Thank you so much!

  10. It would be nice if it were possible to use flashcard mode for vocab training. Therefore it would have to be possible to flip the "question" and "answer" page. Manually (all of them) or randomly (single ones). More over, the Q and A page titles should be renamable like "English" / "Spanish". There are loads of vocab training apps out there but I like the Idea of handwriting. What do you think about it?

  11. The current highlight tool adjusts its position based on how user draws the line. However, lines drawn manually may not perfectly align with text from the PDF file, so the inconsistent gaps between different highlights may look awkward and ugly.

  12. As a student who uses Goodnotes for everything, often it is hard to find notes because the global search includes everything and shows too many results from unrelated notes. The ability to search within select folders would greatly improve the ability to find the notes we need.

  13. It would be much faster to be able to duplicate handwritten notes (like in Notability) instead of having to copy and paste it every time.
    In my opinion, it would speed up the process of note taking!

  14. I would like to be able to categorize each sub-title under a main-title and even have a “shrink” option such that I can greatly reduce the number of titles in my outline. It takes a lot of time to scroll to the bottom otherwise.

  15. Viewing 2 pages and be able to edit both on the same page on an iPad. Like how you can view a pdf in acrobat but in a way on good notes so you can edit them both.

  16. Hi ,
    I have switched to your app after about 10 years of using other apps. This app is great, has lots of fantastic features that make it superior to others and is very convenient to use. But it also lacks some features too.

    Voice recording and importing is crucial, especially now that Samsung has added it to its app.
    Also other multimedia formats are cool to be added , like short video clips, gifs and etc...
    Please update, others already have , Samsung has added voice, folders, importing PDFs and a lot of features that they didn’t have, they…

  17. I'm left-handed, I cannot physically write on the left side of the screen like the whole left third is uncomfortable to write on as the edge of my iPad gets in the way. The inability to move the page around freely beyond frustrating - It doesn't let me move the left-hand side of the page to the middle of the screen so a lot of the time I have to write something on the right-hand side and use the lasso tool to move it to the left.

  18. I would love to see a feature where you can screen record yourself writing/drawing a section of your notes, having it save as a gif and then can be replayed anytime within the notes page. Like having small animations embedded within your own notes (resizable and movable like a mini-player), creating more dynamic pages.
