  1. I would really like to be able to delete notebooks when they are open, rather than having to go back to the document menu view. I often have many notebook tabs open and find that some are not needed anymore. It would be more efficient if I could delete those notebooks directly, rather than having to first locate where they are stored.

  2. I love your product, I use it every day for studying and work.
    One of the things I appreciate in an app I use daily is the possibility to automate some actions thanks to my memory.

    For example: if I know that the "paste" command is the third from the left when I select an image, I will not read the command name anymore, I'll just automatically select it.

    What often happens with your updates is that you change the position of buttons or commands. Each time this happens I lose a tremendous amount of time re-learning the new settings…

  3. I hope GoodNotes for Windows can add keyboard typing function. Handwriting on Windows is inconvenient. At the same time, I also want to be able to import PDF, Word and PPT files clearly, because the text will appear ghosting after importing PDF, which makes me feel uncomfortable. Is there a function to hide or reduce the width of all document pages on the left side on Windows? Because when two documents are displayed at the same time, the small page on the left will occupy more space in the editing page.

  4. Die Datenschutzerklärung und Nutzungsbestimmungen auf Deutsch einsehen zu können wäre wirklich hilfreich. Ich kann zwar Englisch, aber es gibt die App auf deutsch und ich fände es halt angenehmer.
    Es hält mich zwar auch nicht ab, mich zu informieren, aber es wäre halt angenehmer für mich.

  5. It would be nice to rename existing files. I noticed that recently you are able to rename files when uploading. Please also give the option to rename after uploading.

  6. I love digital notes with Goodnotes. But when you take notes on paper the sheet usually has lines (ruled) or a grid (squared) that are a fixed scale. I always have issues finding the right scale on a digital page as long as I cannot set a value for it. So I ended up taping in the side of the iPad screen a piece of lined sheet so that I zoom the digital sheet for the lines to match the paper lines. That way I have constant scale and I am not always trying to adjust my writing size to…

  8. Currently if you have entered text and it is the wrong size or font, you have to erase it, reselect the correct font and/or size and re-enter it. Would like option to change all or part of what is written to something different.

  10. It would be great if the text recognition feature alo worked if you turn the page.
    When importing a scan for example that is horizontal but you want it to be vertical, you turn the page 90 degree, text won’t be recognised anymore.
    Would be great to have that fixed.

  12. -be able to move the toolbar to the bottom of the screen without moving the navigation bar.
    -to be able to move things around on the screen based on the document that I am editing.
    -be able to choose how much the zoom window moves for auto-advance because I always have to move it anyway since it doesn't follow the lines on the lined template

    -For example, we can move the toolbar to the bottom of the screen, but that changes the zoom editing to be at the top of the screen and the document at the bottom. I want…

  14. I have several ideas to improve the toolbar. The image below is a small summary.
    Being able to add shortcuts for sizes in the same way we already do for colors / colours.
    The bar that separate colours and sizes from the rest of tools could be moved to the left so we also have a more efficient time when working with them.
    To prevent other inconveniences with losing time when changing tools, it would be perfect to have the option of changing the order of the tools according to your preferences.
    Lastly, other option for colours and sizes is…

  16. I suggest developer and add a new function,
    custom icon .
    Adding custom icon, user can easiler and faster to find their file rather read all the words.
    Also i know that, that maybe be a harsh request.
    So as i user, i use this software for a long time.
    I think user are okay to pay , when add this file icon function.

  19. There have been times when I've searched for a specific word that I've written (for an example) on 3 different pages in the same notebook, I would only see one or two of the results and not all.
    I want to add that the words were typed and not handwritten.
    Each time this happens, I first have to swipe through the pages to find it and then I triple-check the spelling.
    And every time, the spelling is correct, but when trying to test it out and search again, it fails to capture all the times that word was typed in…

    1. 테스트 중 스터디카드 수정 기능 추가
    2. 매일 정해진 테스트를 하다보면 스터디카드를 수정해야하는 때가 생깁니다. 지금은 스터디 카드를 수정할 수 있는 기능이 없어서 불편하네요ㅠㅠ

    3. 이미지를 불러와서 카드로 만드는 섹션으로 스터디카드를 만들고 테스트할 경우, 필기가 불가능합니다. 테스트중에 이미지에 필기를 추가해야할 때가 종종 있습니다. 기존에 있던 이미지를 복사해서 필기가 가능한 세번째 섹션에서 수정할 수 있게 기능을 수정해주세요~!
