  1. I love GoodNotes but the most tedious thing I dislike about the program is my handwriting. It would be amazing if the text box could be configured for a general use so you can write how you would with the pen but it converts to a preinstalled font. I have so much trouble with the text box adjusting them to the side, trying to go to the next line without using the keyboard, moving the text box.

  2. Set up automatic backup of Baidu network disk for Chinese users, because most Chinese users do not use Google drive. But we have great demands for automatic backup, equipment coordination, and data transfer and sharing. I sincerely hope that you can adopt this suggestion, thank you.

  4. When using splitscreen, generally if you want a good screenshot you have to zoom in and out to do so. However, if there was a functionality to screenshot the other page that you’re working off of and then import it into the page that you’re working on, you could get much higher quality notes.

  5. It would be great if there were more stickers for note-taking. I'm thinking like a ! and ?. And also like the word IMPORTANT. Just more note-taking sticker options

  6. When you open a pdf or a slide that has been imported have it gray out/highlight places where it thinks would be a good idea to highlight. Would be great for people that are not good at taking notes

  7. The laser pointer has a very cool design to it. I would love if they could make the design of how it looks into a pen so you could write notes using that design

  8. 你们在最新版本中去掉了这个选项,无法隐藏状态栏。本来工具栏面积就很大,现在不能隐藏状态栏,导致文档显示面积进一步被压缩。不要为了适配iPados15的分屏键,就让整个软件变得难用。

  10. It is sometimes convenient to look at one page of the document and write on another. Currently moving the zoom window leads to jumpback to the page the window is on. Please allow the jumpback to be disabled. Thank you.

  12. Writing near the bottom edge of the page is very uncomfortable. Please allow us to move the page without it snapping back so we can keep the writing area on the most comfortable part of the screen.

    1. For GoodNotes, I think it would be better if you change the app price into free, because some users like me who doesn’t buy any apps, just in case I don’t use it anymore, might really need GoodNotes, but unable to buy.

    2. Maybe GoodNotes can have an audio recording, similar like Notability. Since more users are using GoodNotes, it would be better if there is an audio recording function.

  13. I have an iPad with large storage, and have only limited iCloud. I would love to clean my iCloud and move all all documents to my iPad storage. I am afraid to clear iCloud storage to loose any files as I’m not sure which ones are saved on iCloud and which ones are saved on iPad. I tried to find some help on blog but people are only asking about the other way around than I need, i.e. they are asking about uploading all the files to iCloud from iPad.

  14. The book I am studying has Roman numerals (I-II-III) at the beginning. Then, Arabic numerals would start (1-2-3). What’s frustrating is when I want to search for Arabic numeral page “14” in GoodNotes, it’ll take me to Arabic numeral page “2” instead.

    I attached a photo.

    Adding the option to renumber pages to Roman numerals would help this make page searching that much easier. Adding the option to unnumbered pages would help too! Sometimes I add regular notebook page in-between the other pages in order to write my own detailed notes.

    I attached a mock-up of how the thumbnails tab…

  15. The situation is

    1. some user who use secondary language need to switch back to EN before they can use keyboard shortcut
    2. some use prefer to use Cmd+1, Cmd+2, Cmd+3 ,...

    so it wound be better to let user customize the keyboard shortcut their own way

    (including shortcut for each 1st - 3rd color of highlight and pen)

  16. This is not a major, groundbreaking change, but I think it’d be incredibly useful for some use cases if GoodNotes showed the date that notes were created as well as when they were last modified.

    I often want to go back to notes that were created around a particular date, such as, say, November 2016. Once I make a change to an old note I currently have no way of knowing when it was originally created. I do a lot of planning that requires knowing when documents were created, which is making me regret having stored my docs in GoodNotes…

  17. It would be great if you could design your own font (create every single letter by yourself), and then have your fast (bad looking) handwriting converted into your carefully designed letters. That way it would guarantee beautiful handwriting even tough you are in a hurry.

  18. Für viele komplexe Aufgaben wird bei der Konstruktion eine genaue Gradzahl benötigt. Mit einem Geodreieck wäre dies auch ohne andere App leicht möglich.
