  2. Bug: When a pdf file was the last one I opened and then I moved it to the trash bin, it tries to be reopened and throws error when I open GoodNotes app again.

    Solution: Make sure the deleted file is also closed, preventing it to try to be reopened as the last one I edited when GoodNotes app is opened again.

  3. Problem: sending pdf files to GoodNotes via e-mail the home screen is updated with new files and pdf extension is added to the file’s name, what it turns out to be MyFileName.pdf.pdf when the edited pdf file is exported.

    Solution: Adding a favicon to the top left indicating it’s a pdf file and removing the .pdf from file’s name itself.

  4. When studying flashcards on iOS, the card is severely minimized to the point where the text can’t be read. Not all people use flashcards for single words or short texts. It’d be better for the whole question portion to be maximized in full screen when studying the flashcards in landscape mode, then have the answer show up in fullscreen next.

  5. Can we add the option to insert a new blank page, which has exactly the same size as the pages in the PDF?

    As a student, I open various PDF slides everyday. However, when I want to insert a blank page in between for more detailed notes, it's difficult to figure out the exact same width. But using a page with a different width makes scrolling and zooming less fluid.

  6. It is much convenient to scroll with a bar rather than two fingers.

  7. Make the main bar light when the system of the device is light and dark when the system of the device is dark, (by main bar I mean the dark blue bar on the pic)

  9. in the other templates section the portrait / landscape - chooser should be a toggle-switch (safe one click)

    The appearance should be pre-selected to the previous page (safe one click in most cases)

  10. Separate palettes for added pen colors. What I mean is when we add new colors, I would love be able to be make separate ones. Instead of only having one single palette, why not have the ability to create separate ones?

  11. Es wäre hilfreich, wenn beim durchgehen der Lernkarten auch der Fortschritt angezeigt und gespeichert wird, wenn nicht alle Karten durchgegangen werden, oder zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt weiter gelernt wird. Außerdem wäre es toll, wenn man den Fortschritt separat abrufen könnte.

  13. On the right side of the toolbar, there are three options: automatic disappearance of the laser trails, and the manual remove all/erase laser trails option.

    Explanation (optional to read): I’ve been using laser trails almost every time when I review because I can write on top of my written notes and annotated handouts to help me remember, but what’s frustrating about it is that it disappears so fast when I try to write multiple words of what I have just reviewed seconds before. I can’t use the regular pen and write above these papers of mine since they are annotated/written…

  15. Quickly toggle this mode on, GoodNotes will ONLY respond to your stylus. This means absolutely zero accidental tab closes and switches, tool selections, anything that could happen from resting one's palm near the top of the page. For completely relaxed, unworried writing in any position.

  16. This app would be perfect if searching can work in images and scanned PDFs. It can be easily done in iOS system or the original File app (Live Text). So I believe it is totally possible.

  19. There are a few Sanrio;

    1. most of the time we may want to have consistent page size, this could be the size that we start the note book with. It could be nice if there is a option to “fit” any template to that size.
    2. we may want to have a specific sizes (multiple paper sizes) on notebook, it will be nice if we could have some control. For example assume that the typical size of notebook is A4 portrait, we may want to have a few sheet as A3 landscape.
    * one of the benefit is that…

  20. Can you do a highlighter tool that UNDERLINES the text instead of highlighting?

    I would help in productivity so much rather than have to hold and wait for it to form a straight line.

    Thanks
