  1. Highlight function should automatically recognize words/texts

    Other note-taking apps that I prefer for editing and annotating PDF files (Foxit PDF Reader, for example) automatically detect word boundaries, making it very convenient and easy to highlight desired sections of text. This is a must-have for me besides the free hand highlighting feature you already have.

  5. Floating Toolbox, Copy text from handwriting and image editing

    I had use most of the note taking software available in market and I know GoodNotes is currently in beta stage but features like editing image i.e cropping & selecting but there is lot more like copy text feature from directly handwriting as handwriting is converted to text and also something like floating toolbox as windows device have larger screen floating box will help them to continue the flow. I hope you will soon add features like cloud backup and export notes in pdf form and others.
    Thank you!

  9. Guter Anfang, doch noch viel Luft

    Ich fand es richtig cool, dass es endlich GoodNotes für Windows gibt und habe mich sehr gefreut. Für den Anfang ist es ein passabler Start, aber mit viel Luft nach oben, vor allem wenn man GoodNotes schon von Apple Geräten kennt.
    Was ich sehr schade finde und was dringend benötigt wird, ist die Funktion, dass man seine Aufschriebe auch als PDF speichern kann. Das ist vor allem für Studenten wichtig, denn wenn man Aufgabenblätter abgeben muss, muss man diese auch speichern können.
    Außerdem gibt es weder die Funktion, dass es Linien, Kreise und andere Formen erkennt, noch dass man sowas…

  10. Personal Desired Improvements

    These are my ideas after a quick use of good notes (Lots of desired improvements but great start)
    1) Use a slide as a way to choose the size of the pen/eraser, or at least add 2 more sizes to choose between
    2) Delete comments
    3) Use your fingers to move or resize lassoed notes
    4) Use the keyboard to type notes
    5) Shapes and Coordinate Axes
    6) Ink to Shape and Ink to Math
    7) Look up handwriting to find documents
    8) Insert PDFs, documents, or images to write on
    9) Record audio from class
    10) Better exporting…

  12. Please add a button to share or save the documenton an Android tablet.

    There is no button to share the document. It's inconvenient because I can't save it as a separate pdf file on an Android tablet .

  15. Equation

    In my pdf viewer, it can show equation normally. But when I import the same pdf file in Goodnote, my equation is weird.

  16. Rotate entire pdfs (or multiple pages at once)

    I often import pdfs into Goodnotes. I do this for readings, which are often scanned in horizontally, so I end up rotating the page so that the words are oriented right side up. However, it would be great if I could rotate all pages of the notebook/pdf at once, so that I do not need to rotate each one individually.

  19. Import documents

    Let us import different types like PDFs pictures maybe also Word and PowerPoint files as pages or into a page.
    E.g. I'm a student and work everywhere possible without paper. Our teachers give us most files as a PDF online and I have a notebook for every teacher (subject). Because of this it would be really usefull to import at least PDFs and pictures as or into pages.

  20. Ideas to improve the app

    The app should allow the user to import pdfs into notebooks, export notebooks as pdf, have more colors available for the pen, have the "crayon" and "fountain pen" types of writing, allow you to enter text from keyboard, allow you to insert images, make ruler and protractor available, allow you to insert bookmarks and allow you to filter the pages of a notebook according to a category entered by the user. To be at the top, the app should allow you to copy/paste the written text and should allow you to create more subgroups for the notebooks so…
