  1. I would like to have a pan tool that allows you to move while holding down a key (like in Krita).

    The reason is that I would like to be able to move while I have already zoomed in.

  2. The documents shared do not appear across Apple devices. This seems to only be an issue on the device. it appears online. But I need it to appear on each device. All of my documents are backed up to the cloud. How do I fix this issue?

  3. As a student collaborating with others on GoodNotes, comments are used to share additional information or as a way to summarize pages and chapters. Hence, it would be great if it was possible to view all comments that have been written on the documents, without having to scroll to every single page.

  11. Some of us doesn't have good handwriting so having this feature we can also make pretty notes with aesthetic fonts which looks like handwriting fonts. If you know what I mean to say.

  12. Please add the option for screen readers to 'read' what the PDF says. It would make this app very well-rounded for those of us with visual impairments.

  13. I want to set the text box setting by my choice.
    For example, whenever I use text box, the settings always get back to "24,black". But I want to set it into "20,red,bold"
    I hope you understand what I mean.

  14. Goodnotes Beta has made great progress in providing features and a great handwriting experience in the Android Beta. I have received an email indicated that the Beta is finished.

    Sadly there are two basic features that are required for any note taking app to be useful to notetakers.

    1. You must be able to take notes when you are not connected to the internet. As a student or a professional, you need to take notes anywhere, any time. You can't restrict yourself to note taking when an internet connection is available.

    2. Taking notes (typed or handwritten) is useless if you can't…

  15. My goodnotes application is having problems when saving work. Should be improved to be more stable and make the functions similar to the iOS version.

  16. The erase tool memory is poor. Sometimes, the pen marks that were erased appear again after the Goodnotes app has been closed and opened again, which often leads to a messy overlap between the previously erased text and the new text.

  18. We should be able to pinch out the file more than it lets us now, we should be able to go as high as 50% of the size, we should also have a favorite tool bar placed on the side of the screen on right or left to make it easier to reach for

  19. The ability to connect a microsoft account to an apple account would be really great. Right now, I take notes on my Ipad in class but I can't edit them on my non-apple computer because goodnotes requires me to sign into my microsoft account on my laptop. If I could pair both of my accounts or sign into my apple account, this would allow me to use goodnotes more often. It also makes sense because a lot of people have microsoft and apple devices.

  20. The two items I see need improvement are:

    • Stylus input lag still seems behind the competitors like onenote, penbook, and scrble. I'm using a surface pro 7 with surface pen so I should be a good test subject. While i understand pen lag may never match onenote because Microsoft builds the hardware and software, goodnotes needs to catch up with the others such as penbook.

    • Infinite paper - need this for doing larger diagrams

    • I need text/typing input like onenote. This is the only reason why i stick with onenote as my primary, as i do both handwritten and typed…
