  2. I write with my palm resting on the right side of my iPad, but when a line I've written reaches the right side, I am suddenly writing with my palm on the table. I'd like an option that supports moving the page off-center to the left and having it stay there, so I can continue writing without shifting my hand.

    For comparison to another drawing/writing app, Procreate canvases let you do this.

  3. The flashcards are blurry in learning modus. Thus, when you have written a little bit more on the cards, you are not able to read it anymore.

    Further, it would be nice to have the possibility to classify each flashcard (with a little menu on the right hand side of each flash card). Then you could add for example all vocabularies and assign them to each chapter. When you enter the learning modus, you could tick the chapters which you want to learn.

    In the end, a little summary of your learning would be nice. (How many ended at which…

  4. Hello,

    I am a surface user and I am currently studying full time. I take physics and maths so the ability to write on my screen is essential when taking notes in lectures.

    Unfortunately there is a distinct lack of note taking software available to use. The most apt, Microsoft journal lacks simple functionality like a ruler function.

    A well designed software such as goodnotes would definitely fill that gap in the market.

    Would goodnotes ever be released to other platforms?

    Yours,
    A frustrated windows user

  9. 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.

  10. Wenn man die Lernkarten auf dem Smartphone (in meinem Fall iPhone) durchgeht und mehre Zeilen auf der Karte stehen kann man diese nicht scrollen, zumindest nicht im vertikalen modus. Wenn man sein Handy kurz horizontal stellt geht es und dann auch im vertikalen Modus. Bei der nächsten Karte geht es dann wieder nicht und man muss es erneut drehen.
    Das ist sehr nervig beim lernen, es wäre schön wenn dieser Buck gefixt wird.

  11. It would be great so that in your notebook you could have the option to create a sub section so that when you import documents or have a subject within a notebook with a few pages on, it which can be scrolled through

  12. Swiping pages is not good for me because my eyes do not feel well when the animation is playing. Therefore, a button for the next and previous pages would be a better way to navigate instead of swiping the iPad.

  13. Mir gefällt an GoodNotes sehr, dass man das Cover des Notizbuches selbst gestalten kann.
    Für die Struktur arbeite ich jedoch lieber mit den Ordnern.
    Deshalb wünsche ich mir, dass man die Icons der Ordner ebenfalls selbst gestalten könnte oder zumindest in verschiedenen Farben wählen könnte.

    —————————

    What I really like about GoodNotes is that you can design the cover of the notebook yourself.
    However, I prefer to work with the folders for the structure.
    That's why I wish that you could also design the folder icons yourself or at least choose different colors

  14. 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?

  16. This is v. Important when I am giving a ppt presentation in goodnotes, there should be a small button to quickly go to next/previous slide WITHOUT any animation.

  17. Hoping Study Flash card will have some features to include audio recording function to capture spoken words to help reviewing the spelling cards .

    Currently, the flash cards are merely visual cues.

  18. To be able to have a deck of flash cards as an option when creating new files. Would be great for studying ! keeping everything localized on goodnotes is optimal and removes the need of users to relocate to other sites/apps

  19. I work as a civil engineer in a paperless office. I have to deal with a lot of construction plans and for me it is important to be able to take measurements from those plans or draw in exact measurements. So I would be very pleased if a ruler, which can be set to a certain scale (e.g. 1:50) could be added to GoodNotes. Currently I have to resort to a pdf-software on my PC, which disrupts the workflow.
