  1. As what apple's version can do, I think it is important to make it easier to import pdfs to the app. In IOS version, we can directly import pdf to goodnotes app in the sharing function, but now, we need to open the app and choose the pdf, which is very inconvenient.

  3. Be it an image, pdf or audio recording - being able to add these into a notebook can really enhance a students ability to use the app as their primary note taker! In Samsung Notes, I'm able to snap a quick photo of the blackboard and through GDrive can immediately add it to my notes. This is one of the last remaining pieces to the GoodNotes puzzle!

  4. Would it be possible to keep the name written in the quick note's title when we export it as a PDF file ? Because, when I convert the quick note, the PDF file name is a sequence of letters that has no relation to the original title of the document (App on Windows surface pro 11).

  5. I'm coming from Remarkable, and also have content in AppleNotes, and OneNote. I would like to be able to consolidate content from these other platforms into Goodnotes. Most other tools will only export stored content as image PDFs.

    Having the ability to use the lasso tool to draw around handwriting and/or text, and have it detect the writing (without an OCR layer/embedded text) but visually, would allow for this importing and standardizing on your product.

    I would think it's the same OCR engine, just allowed to "see" PDFs / images, and as such, should require little development.

  6. On the one hand, I would find importing files very important. In addition, I lack the function to insert my own pictures or pdf's as a booklet template. There are too many differences in the thickness of the pins. The smallest step is too thin compared to medium, which is already very thick. Otherwise, maybe text fields or similar for typing with a keyboard. In addition, of course, sharing or exporting would be very helpful. Maybe just have a look on some functions of Goodnotes 5.

  8. We can now import documents into Goodnotes which is AMAZING, but now I think it is more crucial than ever to be able to have text recognition, select texts, highlight texts, and add comments that are linked to the highlighted text. This probably also goes in line with being able to type text with a keyboard.

  9. Adding extra margin space on imported PDFs would make annotating easier and neater. Being able to place sticky notes in this extra margin space would be ideal.

  10. I write on pc with a graphics tablet and I cannot move horizontally through the page while zoomed in. A pan tool will help immensely if used with a graphics tablet side button. Drawboard pdf app provides just that feature.

  12. It would be nice to have the feature to import your own notebook covers (as a pdf, jpeg etc.) so that you're not limited by the in-app notebook covers. Overall, would prefer if it's just like the ios version.

  13. Goals that have to be aimed, sorted by importance (1 is most important):

    1. Instant change from eraser back to pen (the approx. 1sec. delay is annoying)
    2. More fluent when writing
    3. PDF Export
    4. No problems with hands lying on screen, especially at first touch
    5. More pens in quick board
    6. Possibilty to organise several notebooks to a binder
    7. Copying notes from one notebook to another
    8. Possibility to step some steps back in a notepad (e.g. drawing some lines and deleting stuff ....) even if you have been in another one in the meantime
    9. Possibilty to draw definite arrows quick

  16. グッドノートは設計関係の職種の方が多く使用しています。図面の縮尺を設定して、長さや面積などを測れるツールをつくってほしい。オプションでも良いかと思います。
    PDF Expertにはその機能がありますが、goodnotesに一元化したい。

  17. It would be nice to access the same Notebooks with markups on my ipad as my windows computer
    - Same fonts (it is the same app, so fonts should transfer over the same between ipad and windows)
    - If I have a folder on my ipad with multiple documents, the folder should be able to show up on my windows with the same files inside
    - it would also be nice if the apple calendar could be imported into goodnotes (for planner and task use)
    - Outlook emails, to be able to add files and emails into goodnotes as a …

  19. On Windows/Android at this moment you can export your document only as "PDF".
    Please extend the export function with the file types ".goodnotes" and ".png" like on IOS.
