  1. Situation:
    As a frequent user of GoodNotes, my primary activity involves editing PDF files. I import numerous documents into the app to annotate and review them using my Apple Pencil. These edits include highlighting key information and jotting down spontaneous thoughts. Once edited, I export these PDFs to store them in my personal file system, including iCloud, for access through various other tools like Obsidian or Adobe Acrobat Pro.

    Improvement:
    I propose an enhancement where GoodNotes can directly link to specific folders on iCloud or local storage on a MacBook. Instead of importing PDFs into GoodNotes' internal storage, this feature…

  4. I don't like my handwriting becoming affected / "covered" by the color of highlighter (like notability). I wish there was an option we could choose.

  7. When typing in a double column, only the left column is used and the right column cannot be typed. Please improve the left column typing so that the right column typing can also be connected naturally.

  9. Would be great if you could re-organize the toolbar or tool ribbon at the top of the page. I use the zoom window the most, but it's all the way on the right so I have to swipe on the toolbar with my finger to get to it. it would be great if I (or you) could put it right next to the pen tool.

  10. Add the capability to use pen gestures(i.e. scribble to erase) in the zoom window. This would make writing notes in the zoom window much more convenient as you can use both the quicker gestures without changing tools and be zoomed in!

  11. In the serious setting of a law firm, surrounded by legal documents and client files, Chloe watched the virtual poker game on her phone come to an end. The thrill she once sought had waned, leaving https://mostbets.pl/ her with a desire for legal advocacy and human rights law.
    Chloe set her phone aside with determination, distancing herself from the online casino that had become a frequent distraction. As she prepared legal cases and offered counsel, she took a moment to reflect on her gambling habits and their impact on her commitment to justice.

    With a dedication to change, Chloe sought…

  13. Dear Developers and Desginers,

    I would love to be able to insert text in between lines already drawn. Otherwise I have to manually move text and try to insert the rest, IF there is space on the page.

    I understand that enabling this feature might mess up pages. Well, I would suggest to try to use AI to solve this problem.

    Or you might enable the feature while warning the user that the pages might get messed up. To do this you have to treat different pages as if they were one infinite page, I know... So, I suggest that…

  15. A gre y pencil would be perfect for drawing diagrams, graphs,... instead of using a ballpoint Pen. I hope you’ll soon remedy this problem. Because the gray pencil is vital.

  17. adding the tool that enabled you to cover parts of text or just page in general and then reveal what is below just by clicking on it... basically tape feature like in other note-taking apps
    so useful for revising, especially in med, bio, pharm ... and other fields of knowledge

  18. Text formatting

    • (Some) Markdown support -- including the extended syntax
      • TeX and LaTeX support (like $\TeX or \LaTeX$)
      • Inline code and code blocks -- I'm not expecting syntax highlighting due to security reasons
      • Links
      • Footnotes [^*]

    Styling initial paragraphs

    Most of the time, I style the first sentence of my document as Paragraph, not as Heading.

    With the current unresponsive UI when using on macOS, I have to click Style & Formatting and change the style every single time. It would be great if the app could let me set my styling preference for new documents.

  19. Notability has a feature that creates transcripts from audio recordings and syncs the written notes with the transcript. I believe this feature would be incredibly useful and make Goodnotes more competitive with Notability. PLEASE make this a feature in an upcoming update!!!

  20. Lock function is required

    When I memorize and exercise, I want to rewrite the content on the page after finishing work.
    In this case, lock function is required so that previously made part can not be erased.

    Entire page deleting function is required after rewriting.

    Thanks
