  1. this and other features like audio recording in sync with notes, proper smooth scrolling that doesn't have a mind of its own, ability to change the size of eraser, are what makes notability better

    the only difference is that notability makes my writing uglier. it looks better in goodnotes but as far as user experience goes, notability is way better and keep in mind i got it for free ages ago and i had to pay for good notes

    you guys are intelligent and capable and i'm sure you'll manage to add these features in the near future

    godspeed

  2. I often write inside a circle that I have drawn. If I make a mistake I have to erase it then redraw the circle, which is hard enough as more often than not it goes to an ellipse - maybe another area for improvement.

  3. The current highlight tool adjusts its position based on how user draws the line. However, lines drawn manually may not perfectly align with text from the PDF file, so the inconsistent gaps between different highlights may look awkward and ugly.

  9. Hi, for pdf readers like Xodo, a feature that allows us to automatically trim off the white edge of certain documents is great for zooming in and focusing on the content.

    Could you please add such a feature that turns any documents/textbooks into a tablet friendly version?

    Cheers

  10. I use GoodNotes screenshot-feature on a daily basis to create drawings for my exercises & summaries for uni and it would be very useful if I could export into SVG -> better quality while maintaining a small footprint.

    This should illustrate my idea:

  12. I am a student who uses GoodNotes to study.
    I'm mailing to suggest features that would be great when I study in GoodNotes.
    It's moving to a page you've seen before, which is similar to the previous channel feature of the tv remote.

    While studying, there are many cases of moving and looking to refer to pages that are far away, and then returning from the previous ones.
    If this function is added, it seems that the efficiency of study can be improved.
    Thanks for reading :)

  14. Make an icon next to the existing zoom indentations that allows the indentation line to move

    I always have to click left indent too many times to get to where I want to write

  17. When you are creating a new document in goodnotes 5, all pages have the same size /relation, but if you import a new page there´s no option to adapting its size or relation to the other pages of the document and seems out of place. It would be ideal to be able to just have some options of this type.

  18. When reading a pdf, there are little points that you have to mention in addition. An ability to have a small window/ note beside the main pdf to mention them would be amazing. every time you go over that page, it would tell you that there you have x number of notes on this, or better, it would highlight those lines so you know that there is additional info with those

    The other thing that could be added is the ability to connect boxes to each other like in liquid text

  19. As a planner and student, it would be so helpful to have an adjustable opacity for pictures that we insert. This would allow text underneath to show or for layering stickers or for block scheduling. It would really improve planning on the iPad. Thank you!

  20. Not sure if this is possible, but it would be nice to import a pdf document into an existing note and not have it much larger than the existing pages in the note.
