  8. Hey everyone,
    I have a technical issue with goodnotes, but it is not listed in the FAQ. It is not possible to file a question e.g. to a support chat. This should be improved. Other apps offer direct contact to the developers support, some through the App-Store some through an implemented help center in the application.
    I have placed my request now below a blog post and hope to receive an answer (topic: flashcards). If there is another way, please tell me.
    Thanks
    Hannes

  9. It would be very usefull to be able to export intervals of pages in a document instead of only entire document of the current page.

  10. In many online classes at universities, teachers use Goodnotes and share the screen using the Zoom app on the same iPad. This works fine, but all participants see the Goodnotes menus and tools. It would be nice to have a Zoom integration in Goodnotes, i.e., I activate "Zoom Screen Sharing", enter the Zoom Room Number, then Goodnotes sends the Screen (w/o tools) to this Zoom room.

  11. I use Goodnotes to present incremental slides: Each slide contains the previous slide plus some additional items. The Next Page Animation (old page moves out, new page moves in) is disturbing here. It would be nice to have a scroll mode without animation, i.e., the next page simply replaces the current page . Concretely: Add one more Scroll direction: Horizontal without animation.

  14. I like to use the legal page for notes since it mimics notebook paper with the left margin line, but would love to have it in different colors, such as the white pages. I think all the page templates should have the same color options.

  15. honestly some of the notebook covers are not great on goodnotes I personally like my notebook cover to be related to the content inside like for example for history i would go for an ancient notebook cover and for biology structure of the body or something like that it would be easier to do this if i could add it as a note book cover so that I don't have to import if from my photos all the time.

  16. When GoodNotes is used as a presentation+annotation app while delivering online lectures (ZOOM, Microsoft Teams, etc.), page turning effects distract from the content (for example, when building a list incrementally, one bullet at a time). Presentation mode does not help, since there is no second screen to present to.

  17. I play guitar on the music team for my church, and instead of using printed sheet music I would like to use digital music and an AirTurn bluetooth device to change pages/songs with my feet.

    It would be great if GoodNotes supported AirTurn for going forward/back a page. Then I could scan my music into a notebook in GoodNotes and turn pages using my bluetooth pedal so my hands are free to play the instrument.

    GoodNotes already supports this. You can flip pages using the arrow keys on any external keyboards. Make sure that your footpedal is correctly mapped to the arrow keys of the keyboard.

  18. I sometimes encounter a situation in which I'm located at the homescreen (eg after restarting the app on another day) but i can't since there seems no easy option to do so. I always have to open a new document (and close it afterwards since) to get back to the documents I've already opened. It would be great to have a simple option (eg a button) to switch directly to opened documents from the main screen.

  19. When I revise my notes on my PC (with files exported as pdf), I loose all the index that I placed in the app and it’s very frustrating.
    If the index could be saved even in the pdf exported version of the files it would be much easier to revise documents on pc and would give the index more sense to be used.

    You can add photos to any page using the image tool or using drag and drop. If the photo has already been added to a page, use the lasso tool to copy/cut and paste it to another page.
