  1. In other apps like Notability, the scrolling is quite fast and "normal". When I tried to switch to GoodNotes, the first thing I realized is the fairly slow scrolling. Please make the scrolling faster because it can get really annoying trying to scroll around finding notes but it takes too long.

  2. As a dedicated user of GoodNotes, I have been exploring the app's features and functionality, and I believe there is an opportunity to improve the app's highlighter and pen thickness options. Currently, the available thickness sizes are limited, and it can be challenging to find the ideal thickness size for specific note-taking situations. This can have a significant impact on the user experience, making it difficult to achieve the desired level of precision and accuracy.

    Therefore, I suggest that GoodNotes consider expanding the range of available thickness sizes for both highlighters and pens. Alternatively, it would be helpful to have…

  3. Wenn ich ein Dokument einscannen will und das Dokument in Querformat ist wird es im GoodNotes immer ein Hochvormat erstellt. Cool wäre, wenn das Vormat beim einscannen übernommen wird.

  4. I often use the automatic snap/straighten feature to straighten lines and attach them to circles.

    However I get mad every time because the snap feature attaches the line at odd positions on the circles. I would expect lines to be attached at points distanced by 30 or 45 degrees.

    What happens is that every time I have to edit manually the attach position of the line.

    You can see from the image and the short video that the straight line is tilted.

    Can this issue be fixed?

    I also attach the same example with two rectangles: there is no issue…

  5. When adding (pasting) pages to a existed document, it would be great if the width of the added page is adaptive to the width of the existing pages if all pages of the document are of the same size. If not all pages are of the same size, then allow users to choose the width, e.g. existing page width (A3/A4/…), same as preceding page, etc.

  7. I used to write with a fountain pen all the time but switched to iPad because I had so many notebooks it was getting a bit ridiculous trying to go back through my notes. One thing I miss so much is the way ink looks on a page, particularly inks with hi sheen and shading. Colours vary in intensity at different points on the page, some completely change depending on the amount of ink laid down and it really makes writing enjoyable and makes revising notes oddly satisfying. Please add some form of this to GoodNotes as an option when…

  9. I really like how on Super note to erase, you just hold two fingers on the screen and then start erasing anything you want. It is tiring to constantly double tap to erase one character, and it takes too long to tap the eraser icon to erase more than one character.

  11. I use a graphic tablet (Gaomon 1060 pro) with Goodnotes on macos. When i write fast, the "Paste, Add Comment" Box doesn't appear . However, if i write slowly, the box keeps showing and hides my writing. I find that the box is very annoying.

  12. Hello,

    I am a new Goodnotes user and have used Notability for 10+ years. I decided to get Goodnotes for digital planners and noticed that the colors preset on my iPad are not synching to other devices. In notability, the colors I have preset sync to my other devices and it makes the colors more efficient!

  14. Hello,
    when I view or edit my PDFs which are not vertical (e.g. A4 format), GoodNotes does not allow me to zoom out more. This would be necessary sometimes to have a better overview of your PDFs. Instead, one has to use the little page viewer, which is kind of a struggle. Why does GoodNotes not allow more zooming out?
    Best regards,
    Carlo

  15. import a document and export it after editing is a working way, but a bit difficult/ long. it would be nice to open a document directly from an external folder (eg dropbox or box or iCloud) with a possibility to save it directly to this external folder without having to import and export it manually. maybe a way to integrate this is via an background temporary folder, as goodnotes imports and exports the document automatically

  16. So your hold to draw feature is really great. But when I make circle and hold the pen instead of drawing a circle shape it returns a square or rectangular shape. Therefore, I request you to pls add a feature to draw circles when you hold the pen after drawing a rough shape

  18. Vielen Dank für die Umsetzung meiner Idee in erster Linie.

    Es wäre super, wenn man die Farbstifte nur in einem Einstellungsmodus hinzufügen könnte. Auch wäre super, wenn die Stiftstärke wieder links der Farbstifte mit 3 verschiedenen Dicken verfügbar wäre.

    Noch besser wäre, wenn die Gesamte Leiste einstellbar wäre.

  20. Möglichkeit das man die Sortierung in „Datum“, „Titel“ und „Art“ nur Lokal in jeder Unterebene vornimmt. In der Ordner Übersicht könnte man also zum Beispiel nach „Titel“ sortieren und im jeweiligen Ordner nach „Datum“.
