  1. Would be very helpful if you could filter all highlighted passages in a text by colour, e.g. as in Adobe Reader. For example: you highlight definitions in red and theories in blue. It would be very helpful if you could then filter all highlighted passages by colours used in that document.

  2. Needless to say, there are many advantages of goodnotes. Here is a Chinese user who loves handwriting:
    I am a student who attaches great importance to handwriting experience. I like the experience of writing on paper and yearn for the convenience of taking notes on iPad. Therefore, I have been looking for a note taking software that can not only facilitate me to take notes, but also retain my experience of writing on paper to the greatest extent
    After trying many software such as goodnotes, notability, marginnotes3, prodrafts and 印象笔记, I found that the function of goodnotes is the most…

  3. I think there should be more variety allowed when it comes to the eraser size. We shouldn't only have 3 sizes to choose from. I would prefer a slider, like that of the pen and highlighter tools, which allows us to get more specific sizes.

  4. Pin notes in a bar like tabs in browser. You won't close them by mistyping.

    I have "theese" notes that I don't need to close like: to-do list or my everyday notebook with some notes. It will be better to have options for pin important notes in the bar

  5. Have a feature that summarise what is written at the end of the day to revise or recap the important ideas across different notebooks. Show "card-like" pages sorted by different notes/folder. A good way to review what we've learn and to slows down forgetting curve.

  7. I really like your app and I think it has superb interface and features but what frustrates is that I can't use its full potential because it doesn't support my mother tongue. for instance I can't search notes containing a certain word because my language is not supported which is really dissapointing since Noteshelf app supports over 120 different languages including croatian.

    Please consider my proposal.
    kind regards

  8. There are three different sizes of erases to choose. It would be great to change the size, so that I can erase very small written things.

  9. please add a feature that you can instantly resize an object after circling it with the lasso tool by zooming with two fingers. So you don‘t have to tap on “resize“.

  10. It is unnecessarily frustrating that when you select an item in the toolbar, you can't select that toolbar item again to deselect/get out of its menu. Your only options are to tap the top of the screen, or tap the page, which writes on it immediately and then you have to erase that. It's such a dumb and simple problem to fix, cmon.

  11. Deep links are a game-changing feature of apps like Craft. They allow me to save a link in the form appname://open?fileID=xxxxxx which is fantastic for archiving, planning, references, and other workflows. I don’t want to use shareable links for this purpose because it’s less efficient.

    I hope the suggestion is useful!

  12. when I'm writing in my notebooks I'm using the Cornell methode and write key words in a different colour. Adding filters to search (eg text that's only written in purple) would really come in handy when navigating through lots of pages.

  14. Insert Stickers in the center of the current view. Currently it’s centered on your current page, so you always have to zoom out, lasso it, pull it to your view area and then zoom in to improve the alignment.

  16. I would like the to have the ability to choose that accent colours within the GoodNotes app. I refer mainly to the blue strip at the top when viewing a document. Often, I turn my iPad onto the classic invert setting for nighttime viewing but the blue bar turns almost white when in dark or light mode on classic invert. I would like the ability to choose the colour of this blue bar.

  18. Not a big fan of the very rounded shape. What about something more square or elliptical for pen options?

    It would make lines look more crisp!

  19. When testing on flash cards students can enter a time (e.g. 10 minutes) and the app will prioritise the most appropriate cards. This would allow students to use when they have a quick 10 mins in between lessons and know they are using the spacing effect well.
