Super organizational
AngelTummi

I love using goodnotes during vet school to keep everything organized so I'll be able to reference later. I really enjoy being able to write on pdf documents.


MAKE A DOTTED LINE TOOL PLEASE
1The person 0111

Love the app but every time I make dotted lines they look so ugly can you please make a dotted line pen.


Great app, missing a few things.
Ptorbatii

It’s a great app overall and I’m satisfied with my purchase. Thank you, devs! I just want to suggest some features: - Better shape recognition (i.e. arrows, squares, etc.) and ability to place whole shapes rather than drawing them. - More pen tips (i.e. dotted lines) - Ability to work directly on PDFs rather than making a copy of them. - More laser pointer colors. Also I wish the laser tail took a bit more time to disappear. - In zoom mode, it’d be easier if the pen controls were on top of the zoom pane rather than the screen. - Ability to keep some files on local storage and some on cloud rather than having to have a single choice for everything.


Adding imbedded note option like Adobe pdf would be extra helpful
just a student of the word

Running out of space in and between the note often


Great app!
jesusimylife

I love this app, the setup is amazing. The only complaint i have is the fact that there is not a pencil writing option. I would give it 5 stars if they added a pencil writing option rather than just having pens.


Add option to password protect docs
Robinfreebird

Please add option to be able password protect app or encrypt/ password protect specific documents. Otherwise great app for notes.


Great but I’d love to see a couple updates to make it even bett

I LOVE goodnotes. The only thing I feel like this app is missing though is the ability to type text and have it roll over to the next page. If I end up editing a textbox it might not all fit on that same page and all of the formatting gets mixed up. I also wish there was an option to insert a chart to then write in. I can draw one but it’s a little more time consuming, not always as neat as it could be compared to if I could just add rows and columns. R


Must Have App for College!

Great for note taking and doing psets


Amazing app, but...
NicoleAllina

Amazing app! I wish it had the option for dotted lines


橡皮问题
蔽树

就没人吐槽过橡皮的逻辑吗,我就想擦那一部分结果周围的也会被擦掉???,我当然确定我把擦除整个笔画关掉喽,不要回复我那些没用的,你自己去试试你的橡皮。???
