  3. Im Moment kann ein Post-IT/ gelber Zettel im Dokument zwar angezeigt und „beschriftet“ werden, aber dieser Text lässt sich nicht zusammen verschieben, sollte man sich doch entschieden haben diese Notiz auf der Seite anders zu platzieren.

  4. I wish your app could allow Video and Audio Recording and producing nice tutoring videos similar to what possible in Doceri.
    Your app is much more user-friendly and performs way better than Doceri in any aspect, but unfortunately, it misses that feature.

  5. I do a lot of math and when creating equations I like to make exponents, subs or even small corrections a different line width for them to stand out. It would be very helpful to be able to to use the pencil tap shortcut on Apple Pencil to change the line width and even the color instead of having to constantly reach up to the selection menu to switch back and forth. I have attached a screenshot of a very long problem that I have solved using method as an example of what I’m referring to and how useful it…

  7. I am a math teacher and would love the ability to use these tools during my lesson. I generally use GoodNotes to project the pdf version of the math book students work from. But when I have to use manipulative such as a ruler or protractor or fraction pieces I have to go back to my doc cam. I love the ability to move around the room that GoodNotes and iPad has allowed me to do instead of stuck behind my desk using a doc cam.

  8. Be able to write and view a note in dark mode however automatically invert to white paper and black/ darker coloured text when exporting to a pdf, sharing the document or printing. Onenote already does this and it is very useful.

  10. I like a simple, minimal, clean, and concentrated UI. So I think if GoodNotes can provide a function that I can one tap on the screen to hide all the tool panel, just leave the canvas there. Then this would be very great!

  11. Paging Transition WITHOUT any effect (like one can with PowerPoint or Adobe Acrobat).
    I use GoodNotes in virtual meetings as well in presence ones. The page transition animation are ‘nice at first’ but always distracting, specially in cases of two or more pages that are identical except a few visual clues (like an added box to call attention to a detail)… in those cases a clean, seemless transition, is a MUST.
    I saw many other suggestions of the kind here, all SHUTDOWN by some ‘moderator’ as being a non issue that you can set the presentation mode to always full

  12. Provide a force-sync option

    When the iCloud sync isn't working, we are stuck waiting for the app itself to recognize that the files are not in sync, a force sync option where we can manually cause the app to sync would be incredibly helpful (like the OneNote option). That way we aren't waiting for the app to recognize, which sometimes requires quitting the whole app and reopening, instead we can just tell the app when we want it to sync in addition to automatically.

  13. I love that you can backup to google drive but think it would be even better if we could backup specific folders in goodnotes to specific folders in google drive. i.e. a lecture notes folder on goodnotes only syncs to a google drive folder for that class.

  14. I think it would be a good feature having the option to organize the pen and highlighter colors into different palettes and having the same colors for both, now we have to type the hex code twice

  15. An setting u can turn on so that if u start writing something a TEMPORARY straight line appears underneath your text that u can then write on. That way even if u are writing on blank paper (for example powerpoint slides), you can still write in a straight line. When u stop writing the line disappears (after approximately 5 seconds so you can lift your pencil up for a space between words in one sentence)

    This would be a very small but truly amazing feature!

  18. It would be so much easier to maneuver between notes if there was a sidebar present at the side (that you could hide/show so as not to impede on work flow) and it would show all your folders and the notes in the corresponding folders.

    So if you needed a specific document all you have to do is tap the side or swipe left and you'll find all your folders ready to go! bam bam bam!

  19. Add a highlight option to have a round tip or chisel tip. The chisel tip would be the exact same as the current highlighter but it would have straight boxed ends instead of round ends.

  20. Currently only way to change colors of pages and written text (highlighter and pen) is to lasso change the color.

    Add an option that would open a menu with all page formats, highlighter and pen colors of a current document, with ability to remap each of them.

    This would introduce simpler way to change the whole notes template, as some people (including me) draw on black paper with white pen strokes that are not really sensefull to print on white paper.

    Example of black paged notes with yellow highlighter, white & red pen writing:

    • used template: A4 Black Paper
    • used…
