  1. 테이프로 암기하고 싶은 부분을 가렸다가 다시 터치하면 가린 내용이 보이는 기능에 대해 추가적 기능을 제안하고싶습니다.
    테이프를 다시 터치하는 기능을 1. 손이나 2. 어떤 도구를 사용하지 않는 상태의 펜으로만 가능한데요. 3. 레이저포인터를 이용하는 중일 때에도 테이프를 터치할 수 있게 해주셨으면 좋겠습니다.

  2. I use a lot goodnotes at night, and it is really bad. I don't like the blue colour that stands out during the night. Would be nice to either leave it black, or just be more minimalistic like apple notes or notability.

  3. I suppose that the toolbar could be further simplified. Also, the toolbar should be allowed to move to both the LHS and the RHS, it would be more convenient for changing the tool to use more rapidly when writing!! The position of it should be moved by the drag of our finger which make it easier to chance position instead of search for the bottom in the settings.

  4. New user, using Goodnotes for my Japanese studies, and I would benefit from being able to copy as text from images/PDFs I’ve inserted into notebooks, alternatively being able to select and manipulate text in an image the same way I can in Photos/Notes and other Apple Apps on iPadOS.

  5. I use GoodNotes 6 to grade student papers just about anywhere and then export the graded pages to a shared Google drive folder per student via the iPadOS files app using a drag and drop motion from GoodNotes to the target folder. It’s very seamless and efficient!…

    …However, the file that’s created in each student folder is named simply as the page number from the GoodNotes notebook from which it came. For example, if I drop and drop page 15 of 32 from a file called “Unit Test A” into a student folder the file in the Google drive destination…

  6. Different pen styles would be great! Specifically a crayon type of pen or other stylistic types of pens.

  7. It would be amazing if we could drag a number of folders from Finder into GoodNotes and it creates the folders in GoodNotes with the PDFs in each one.

    I use it a lot for reviewing documents and currently I have to create the folders to match Finder and then drag/drop the PDFs into each one...

  8. Since the addition of the timer, a random name generator would be beneficial for classroom randomization. As a teacher, randomization is essential for a classroom environment to ensure all students are learning. I teach on my iPad, and switching between windows is inconvenient.

  11. My idea is when the teacher posts a new homework, the students can get a notification on their device. A follow up to this idea is we can get a schedule in the menu. The schedule can show us what homework we have, when it is due and which notebook it is located. In the schedule, students can also write their own dates (e.g. exams, quizzes etc)

  12. I mainly use typing through text boxes and use multiple fonts.

    Previously, there was a feature where recently used fonts were displayed at the top and could be changed to that font when pressed, but this feature disappeared after an update.

    Currently, it only shows the recently used fonts, so if I want to change to that font, I have to find it again.

    I really hope this feature will be restored again.

  13. It is clearly one thing that makes GoodNotes compete with Notability and it is super useful for students! Since it is implemented in iOS, it should be in Android as well to make many users who are hesitant to change from iOS without a Notability replacement with this tool. Thanks!

  14. As we can read here: https://support.goodnotes.com/hc/en-us/articles/7445581406095-Share-notebooks-between-iOS-and-other-platforms#share-notebooks-between-ios-and-other-platforms-0-0 the complete synchronisation between iOS App and Web Apps is not possible yet, but Link Sharing and editing should be working.
    I just was testing the Link Sharing and editing option. The Sharing Option works, but the editing option does not synchronize between iOS App and WebApp.

    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Create Notebook on iOS App.
    2. Create Share Link for that notebook in iOS App.
    3. Open Link in Browser or Windows App.
    4. Edit in Browser or Windows App.
    5. Wait for Status "Synchronised" in Windows App.
    6. Wait for Synchronisation in…

  15. When selecting handwritten text, there is this "A" with the text cursor icon which I often confuse with an "AI" function. I think that some other icon would be really helpful to avoid confusion.

    Here is a suggestion for a better icon: https://www.flaticon.com/free-icon/text-editor_2535559

    In the screenshot, I highlighted the problem.

  16. We need a kind of way to sync it cross-platform without needing to use iCloud... I'd love to have my files on my PC and access on my Ipad or phone without having to ALWAYS export it. I don't use iCloud... and I can't even share it using a local sharing or a sharing using any other cloud service as the base for it.

  18. On the board, the students can see where I am going to change the text or continue writing, as well as what I am commenting on and pointing out with my other hand. This is what makes the blackboard so effective.

    If you want to replace the blackboard with GoodNotes, this would also have to be made possible. Technically, I think this would be possible. In presentation mode, the tip of the writing tool can be displayed (even before writing, in hover mode) and other parts of the text can be marked with a finger, which can be commented on…

  19. I believe it would be a lot easier if all colours were linked as this would mean that I don’t have to add colours I like using to the pen, pencil, highlighter, and text colours. I’d only need to add it once rather than twice.

    It would also be good if we could have our own colour pallets similar to procreate as they can then be named, which makes it easier than scrolling through all the colours I have trying to find the colour I’m after as I’ve got so many colours now I’m easily loosing them! It could also…

  20. Moveability of the virtual page on the virtual background would be a huge banger. Maybe even rotation to fit to the user natural hand allignment on the page.

    Why?

    I ALWAYS have that huge problem on the lower part of every page. Cant access it porperly because of the rim of my iPad. It gets worse with my confuguration because i have heavy duty case (work in industry) which thickens the iPad alot.

    ofc I would have the same problem with normal paper or notebooks.. but we could have that option, right? :D
