  1. On MacOS and iOS, GoodNotes is very effective with the quirks that come with both platforms. However, the Windows platform has a plethora of quirks that can make a Windows GoodNotes as good as the one on iOS. Here is a quick list I came up with that would enhance GoodNotes on the Windows platform:

    Integration with Windows apps: Integrating with other Windows apps such as OneNote, Microsoft To-Do, or Microsoft Office would make GoodNotes more useful and provide a better user experience.

    Cloud integration: Windows users often rely on Microsoft's cloud services like OneDrive or SharePoint. Integrating GoodNotes with…

  2. Adding opacity for all the current AND future pens, highliters, brushes, and pencils.
    Same goes for tabs and images (especially if we need to write or draw on them).

  3. In the iOS version you can select a portion of the screen with the lasso tool and make a screenshot. The screenshot can then be pasted into any GoodNotes document pressing and holding a point on an opened document.
    This functionality is particularly useful for doing homework and copying the exercise description on to a new page in order to work on it.

  4. Like for example with Word. Comments can be added at any point in the document. You should be able to edit and delete them. Additionally it would be good if the position could be moved and also other people could edit these comments. Comments are very helpful when other people read through the document and don't want to write in it, but still want to comment in some places.

  7. I just want to be able to have the same note-taking tools as iOS users and Chrome users. Like typing/fonts, more page styles, and more tools in general. You're doing great so far, but could you make it equal?

  10. 5 Mar 2023, I was not able to find a text tool. And I was not able to copy text from a webpage and past it into a note page in GoodNotes. If I'm missing something I am sorry. Is this feature just missing right now or am I missing something? Currently I am only using mouse and keyboard input... I'll connect my Wacom Intuos tablet and try again.

  11. Especially now that importing pdfs is available, it would be very useful to be able to copy and paste pages and/or move them within the notebook or between notebooks. For files such as planners, digital pdf notebooks or other documents, I need to be able to copy and paste different page templates at the end of the notebook to the beginning or the other way around. I hope you will be able to incorporate this into the Beta Version of the app.

    Thank you for considering my suggestion.

  12. Please make it so I can use the pen and use my finger without having to turn off the pen function each time. It ruins my work flow.

  13. In the Windows Web version, there is no option to
    -import documents
    -make outlines and shape templates
    - search and find handwritten text
    unlike in Ipad. Looking forward to next update.

  15. Something that would be beneficial for both Windows & IOS is more freedom & customization regarding the pen/eraser opacity, texture, and pressure sensitivity. Being able to control what the pressure does, such as making the pen more or less opaque, or changing the size, would be very helpful. Same goes for erasers; being able to choose the opacity / pressure sensitivity would be very useful.

  18. I used it on iPad and seen a bit complicated to use the keyboard but in Windows case, there is no issue. Normally I used it because I had bad handwriting, but adding it makes more easy and more comprehensive text letters. Also try adding normal-use geometrical shapes like squares, and triangles, and add a cartesian plan.

  19. Switching between dark background/light pen to light background/dark pen when changing between Night and Day mode. OneNote has a similar function and it saves my eyes when taking notes

  20. I don't know if I understood sth. wrong, but in the Using Conditions, was written down that goodnotes (beta) has permission to use every Data, we use in the app. If thats correct, the it's ok for just the Beta thing. But it's not okay for the Endversion of the app... For example if you are working with a Script from Universitywith copyright, then this part of the using condition is a reason to not use goodnotes anymore... Same Problem for a University Professor who has to correct Student's Works...
