  2. When I write traditional I have to angle my paper. Not a complete 90 degrees. Just ever so slightly.

  7. I have recently begun using the desktop version a lot more since my 4-year-old has effectively stolen my iPad. I love that I can use the app seamlessly between my devices. However, I have noticed that it is difficult for me, especially when using two windows of GoodNotes, to maintain a natural reading experience. I'm trying to take notes while reading a PDF imported to GoodNotes on the left and have my note-taking notebook open in a window on the right.

    I would love a tool that allowed users to place their cursor within the text of a document and…

  8. Create "slide" paper option. That creates a notebook where every page is a slide that can be exported as a slide show.

    1. There should be a function to add text/handwritten notes to highlights/or anywhere in the document in PDF reader. After adding the the text/notes, the text box can minimize into an icon next to the highlighted area.

    2. The notes can be compiled and exported/email/printed with or without the document. Information (page no of document/highlighted passages) can be displayed together with/without the notes when exported. This provides easy reference to the notes.

  11. Recently I was grading PDF exams in Goodnotes. I grade a lot better if I grade everyone's Problem 1, then go back and grade everyone's Problem 2, and so on.

    Once I have all 50+ of my students' exams open, the tabbed file system makes it very easy to switch between files. (THANK YOU for allowing me to have 50+ tabs open at once!) But on the first pass I have to open the files one by one. Is there a way to open all files in a folder (in separate tabs)?

  12. Sarebbe utile poter registrare audio e video dello schermo e di poter mettere in pausa qualora ve ne fosse la necessità durante la registrazione stessa. Sebbene vi siano applicazioni che hanno questa funzione mi sentirei più sicuro ad utilizzare qualcosa che appartenga già a GoodNotes! Colgo l’occasione complimentarmi e ringraziarvi per la splendida applicazione!

  14. Please provide a “Feedback” feature in the GoodNotes app.

    I would suggest in [Settings] > [About] page.

  15. Currently in split view, only one side has the option to back out to the previous page (for me it's the folder the notebook is in). The other side only has the option to close the app. I want both sides to have the option to go back to the folder level.

  16. I get tons pictures from my students’ works.
    So I’d like to open several pictures or documents from Files as pages of one single document.

    So far you can select and share them in GoodNotes, but then I’ll just get many single documents with one page each.
    So here should be a dialog like „Open as separate documents“ or „Open all in a single document“ or „Add to document“.

    You could open a new document in GoodNotes you want to have the pictures in, go to Thumbnail view, go back to Files and share the pictures in GoodNotes (then you’ll…

  18. Currently I have to crop the image manually every time when I take a picutre of the slide during a presentation. It would be very helpful if there was an option to do the cropping automatically and also do a simple correction for projection effects to make the slide the appropriate aspect ratio.

  19. In the previous edition of Goodnotes 5(5.4.19), the developer seemed to cancel the feature of brush stroke(seen in the following picture), which might be linked to the improvements on algorithm. This change has made the writing experience so weird and unreal, so I wish you can return the brush stroke in the previous editions.
