  2. when creating a shape you have du manually select the shape to adjust the size at the knots in the corners, preselection right after creation would be great.

  3. Ability to place the open document more away from the edge, for better Handwriting.

    Current Workaround: Place bigger Notebookcover at First place, doesn´t work, when all other documents are the same Size

  5. Hi, I love to write handwriting on slides, but sometimes the space isn‘t enough. That‘s why I love the comment feature, but I would love if the comments were possible to be handwritten as well. Right now it‘s only possible to add keyboard-written text, please add an option to fill the comment-space with handwriting! Sometimes its also nice to add little pictures/graphs that you draw in the comment space.
    Thanks :)

  6. ISSUES: When formatting text in the textbox the format is lost if the size of the text is changed after giving it format. It should not.
    As a tip, the 'line spacing' tool should not go as precise as 0,01 per step, that is not useful (as the text size, 1 per step should be OK).

    When editing (typing) a text box from a page, and want to edit another text box from another page (typing) there is an error that is not user friendly. The text box can not be edited until the previous textbox from the first page…

  7. After selecting an object or text it should pop-up the option or duplicating the item instead of having to copy and paste it. This function would help a lot in efficiency, please work on it...

  9. If you're not going to try to add voice recording to goodnotes, I think it would be just as helpful to add the ability to link websites, or paste videos into the notes the same way you'd attach a picture. GIFs would be fascinating as well.

  11. There should be an option where you can upload a powerpoint and it would format it as 3 slides per page on the left with room for notes on the right side. That way you don't have to write everything that the teacher says, but can hilight the things they emphasize.

  13. I am trying to use the build in text to speech reader with iPad OS however goodnotes is not compatible as it states "document content area" instead of the content in the document.

    I would really appreciate having some text to speech functionality to make studying easier.

  15. Context: Notes contain concepts and theory, and often, these concepts must be applied in examples (especially in engineering where there are tonnes of examples in the lectures). Examples take up a lot of space in the 'theory' document, and makes scrolling through the document more tedious and makes it harder to find the notes you are looking for in a quick and efficient manner.

    Solution: Rather than doing examples in another notebook, it would be nice if you could simply add a page(s) behind or adjacent to the current 'theory' page which you can do examples on. This would make…

  18. I am a student studying in Korea. When studying with a good note, if you move the handwriting with the lasso, I hope that the highlight and handwriting will be separately selected.

  19. I think that is critical to have and option, that when you are on read mode and you select text, you can configure to highliht it automatically, without the need to press the higlight option every time.

  20. An existing page(main page) must have options to add side pages which can be used to have more information for a topic/content present on the main page.

    Basically using the side pages as rough workspace to note down more info of a particular topic present on the main page where the side pages can be hidden when not needed.

    Example:
    1) An equation on the main page and its derivation on the side pages(collapsable/hidden pages) that can be accessed whenever required and can be hidden away when not required.

    2)A formula on the main page and sample problems and solutions…
