  1. Right now the toolbar is placed at the top or at the bottom. But while working and taking notes, it requires to change the tool from highlighter to pen or vice-versa many a time. And on IPAD PRO 12.9 Inch the reach is not easy to change the tool. So if the toolbar is placed vertically on both the side then it can reduce the efforts of user. Thank you for hearing out! Stay safe :)

  2. It would be nice to be able to set the colour of the home screen to a different colour other than white and black (following the device’s display)

  3. I'm used to always copying & pasting links into my notes in order to support my research. It's frustrating that I can't do this in GoodNotes. If I copy & paste a link into a text box, it wont be clickable. Please consider making this feature a top priority in future updates because it is required for students, teachers and people doing research. My notes aren't as useful when I can't include links that will work. I really just want to be able to tap on a link to open it and then tap back to go to the GoodNotes…

  11. When I switch to night mode only status bar becomes dark but PDFs still have white background. Hope there could be a function that can reverse color of PDFs so they can have black backgrounds and white characters.

    My English could be better.

  13. I like using the flash card feature of GoodNotes and it works just fine on my iPad. However, on Mac, the window is so small, I cannot properly read my answers.

    I'd like the window size to be adjusted so one can comfortably read the entire flash card on a large display. There's enough room for it.

  14. I would like to request a feature that converts handwriting into text. I know that the current lasso tool can do it, but what I asked for is a tool similar to lasso. Circle the text and it converts to text and replaces the original handwriting. This will be easier to convert current handwriting into text, also easier than the text tool.

    • audio recordings that sync to the handwriting (fundamental)
    • the possibility to use light or dark mode independently from the system
    • have only one color palette for both pens and highlighters
    • the dropper tool to add colors to the palette
    • edit / personalise toolbar with the possibility to hide features that we don’t use often in a little “+” sign where we can find all of them that one time we need to (this would be AWESOME)
    • improvements on the text tool (add the option to write all over the page like in word and not only within text boxes
    • infinite…

  15. It would be cool if I could search for a drawing in GoodNotes (example shown in the attached image). Currently, GoodNotes' search bar only accepts a text input, since GoodNotes uses Optical Content Recognition (OCR). The search feature would be even more powerful if I could also draw something in the search field, and find matching/similar occurrences of that drawing.

    In addition to helping me search for diagrams, this would also help with searching for handwritten text that wasn't accurately converted using OCR.

    Thank you for taking the time to review this! :)

  16. I think it would be great if we were able to have movable sticky notes that would also move the text inside of it without affect any highlighting already resent on the page. Or being able to deselect highlighting when using the lasso tool so that I could move just my makeshift sticky notes.

  18. 笔记定义的时候只能够基于单种语言进行OCR,在iOS 15发布后留意到Live Text可以实现多语种同时OCR识别,是否有可能调用API实现多语种同时OCR,尤其是对于学科笔记而言,以中文为主体记录,但很难避免会部分出现数字或英文单词,这个时候会识别不到。
