  1. I like the new feature very much which is the audio recording but it will be more helpful if we can add the audio file from other voice recording app or if web are transferring from the notability it will be easier to just drop the audio or the whole note with audio being shared to goodnotes.

  2. Es wäre sehr sinnvoll, wenn GoodNotes 5 eine Funktionalität hätte, um ein Lineal oder ein Geodreieck welches man in der Größe und Länge verändern kann zu nutzen, für Mathematik in der Schule wäre es sicherlich sehr nützlich.

  3. I use goodnotes as my main PDF viewer, however whenever I want to navigate a Math book it is really long and tidious because there are hundreds of pages, and scrolling when there are no chapters to the PDF is really long and frustrating.

    That's why I suggest changing pages using left and arrow keys on keyboard as a fix to this.

    I think this is a reasonable solution as it should not be too hard to implement. Thank you.

  4. Sometimes, I would like to type in good notes. I dislike the text box function because it is so annoying to use. I have to expand the boxes to a certain size in order to not have my words hitting the bottom of the page every time I use the function. Instead I would love to see a separate type of page or note which lets you type instantly without having to use the function, as seen in apple notes. Please consider!

  5. Hello there. I would love if good notes allowed me to save my quick notes as untitled or untitled (1) instead of choosing a name for it. I always make small notes very quickly between lessons. It’s difficult to name every note I create.

  8. I love GoodNotes and have been using it for several years. I also use GoodNotes for workshops and presentations. Therefore, I've got many large PDF's in the database.

    My problem is, that the GoodNotes database (synchronized with iCloud) already has more than 26 GB. This fills up both my iPad and my Mac.

    I'd love the functionality to be able to view and sort all files by size (without folders), check the largest files, and delete them in a bulk action. This would really help!

    I assume that other passionate GoodNotes users have the same problem.

    Thank you,

    Stefan

  9. We are already able to copy an image to clipboard with the lasso tool.
    Would be great if we could insert that image directly from clipboard without saving it to photos which will not create junks in the photos. A pretty small idea but an efficient one

  12. 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. I used a translator because I was not good at English. Please understand me.

    Hello, I am a publishing editor in Korea.
    Thanks to Good Note, I was able to convert my work to digital. And I could save paper.
    More than 1,000 sheets of paper are usually used to make a book. You guys are saving the earth.

    There is a function I want to request.
    1. I have only checked the revised pages using the bookmark function. However, it is very uncomfortable because the bookmark button disappears from the work screen. Please mark the bookmark button again on…

  16. Some improvements need to be made to the Mac version of GoodNotes 5. The biggest aspect that needs improvement is the text/typing function. It would be amazing if the app had a processor similar to MS Word or Google Docs. Even at the basic level- having the ability to choose between a text box vs no text box (so having page parameters), automatically typing to the next line, being able to type on the lines of a page template without having to adjust the text box. Quite frankly, I do not use the Mac version as much as I would…

  18. Please add the Greek language handwriting recognition. I use goodnotes 5 for taking notes and i have to say that your application is one of the top. The only issue for me is that there is no support for Greek language.

  19. GoodNotes for Mac used to be great before they switched to Catalyst. These problems have persisted for years and keeps getting worse.

    Problems:
    - Can't print notes with images - None of the images actually print out, just blank space. This sucks when you make your notes in GoodNotes and want to print them out to prepare for lecture.

    • Can't drag-and-drop images anymore. No pasting from a Word document, or cut/paste from Preview.

    • Importing an image comes in with weird sizing

    • Crop tool is missing when right clicking on images and it depends on the type of image format

    • Drag-and-Drop…
