  1. the textbox tool is broken.
    when using the text box and tapping the screen (even if using the on-screen keyboard) the textbox will undo ( and it won't be reversible ) so you will need to retype everything. furthermore, it keeps this weird overlay of way should have happened if it would work correctly or something that should have been deleted but for some reason stays. and when switching pages and then editing a textbox you will get "teleported" into a random previewed page. and if the pages are similar you might rune some notes.

  2. It takes lots of time to export large handwritten note files with images -- in editable pdf format -- goodnotes almost freezes for a minute. Need further updates to improve the processing of notes with images.

  3. Beim arbeiten in der Schule habe ich bemerkt, dass es bei ihrer tollen App einen Verbesserungsvorschlag meinerseits gibt.
    Beim Scrollen (horizontal) wäre es gut, wenn sich der eingezoomte sichtbereich beim Scrollen auf eine andere Seite nicht nach oben verschieben würde.

  5. When you search in a written pdf using GoodNotes search engine it often misses (due to not recognizing the word or an adjacent hyphen - ), while other apps (like notability or OneNote) find it easily.

  6. While editing a document scrolling is possible only with fingers but doing so smudges the screen. Scrolling should be possible without hiding toolbar.
    To write or edit: select a tool.
    To scroll: tap on last used tool thereby disabling it.

    For reference: try annotation feature of One drive on iPad.

  7. Sometimes undo button seems to be a little far and multiple undos are required in order to get the perfect writing. If options for double tap on apple pencil were given, it would be a good addition. Also a set of favourite tools like collanotes or notability would be required. Never the less, Goodnotes is the best, just lacking a few features to ultra perfection!

  8. If I am on slide 50 of a pdf powerpoint but I want to keep referencing slide 9 multiple times quickly, I would like to press one button that would take me to the "previous page". So I could go between slide 50 and 9 at one press of a button

  10. Trennung von Drehpunkt und Größenanpassung.
    Aktuell ist es kaum möglich ein markiertes Objekt zu drehen ohne dass dabei die Größe verändert wird.
    In der Version 4 waren die Funktionen getrennt, was einfach optimaler war. Ist es in Version 5 vielleicht auch möglich die Funktionen wieder zu trennen?
    Nachdem ein eingefügtes Element um 90Grad gedreht wird, rastet es nicht bei 90Grand ein sondern bei ca. 89 oder 91Grad. Das geschieht nicht, wenn das Objekt mit dem Lasso markiert und gedreht wird. Lässt sich das optimieren?

  11. When importing pdf, goodnote could read or fetch pdf metadata to organize, search, sort documents by author, publication date and stuff like that. That would be extremely useful for scientific papers and managing lots of references.

  12. your app is great
    could you make it possible to turn off automatic document centering? I need to move the document to the left so that the edge of the sheet does not rest against the edge of the tablet. it is very inconvenient to have the hand rest on the edge while writing.
    here is how it is implemented in procreate:

  13. Pretty basic and I can't believe it doesn't work yet. If I have to read through a document on MacOS I need the PAGE UP & PAGE DOWN buttons to work please.

    Thank you!

  14. I've been using GoodNotes for 3.5 years now and some of my notebooks are quite long. Scrolling through looking for things is difficult in these because there are so many pages to navigate and the scrolling is fairly slow. The search function works well but not for looking through diagrams/drawings. The thumbnail view is good for getting to the start or end of a notebook, but the pages are far too small to see what's on them in that view.

    I would really welcome a nice way to scroll through pages faster in writing mode.

  16. Streaming radio has become the https://ascolta-radio.it/ norm for those with internet access. This form of radio has grown to become an important part of the entertainment industry, especially in the United States. Streaming radio offers an alternative to traditional radio, giving listeners access to a wide variety of shows and channels, which can be enjoyed on the go.

  17. When the device is on dark mode, have text and pdfs invert colors (similar to apple notes and new dark mode on notability).

  18. when external templates are bought , why can't we acces them from the database? i bought the dotted grid to test the process and it end like any pdf you would ad in a folder... not really useful, had to copy and paste instead of adding directly from the "plus" icon.
    anyway, i love that app and use it so much

  19. Please add a confirmation button to the duplication shortcut. "command D" duplicates my notebooks and makes my good notes crash. I accidentally press it instead of "command F" which is search quite often.

  20. Something that hides the UI while you’re taking notes and/or moves the brushes somewhere else so it doesn’t get in the way.
