  1. I know there are several posts like this but I think it would benefit ALL users if we had more pen choices. I would definitely understand if there’s a reason as to why there’s only 2... but I can’t think of one and as this IS a note taking app. Since this replaces the pen and paper method,I would think it makes sense that those creating/updating GoodNotes would want their users to have the most realistic writing experience when using the app. If using pen and paper, there are far more than 2 choices to write with and digital note…

  2. Goodnotes should have an option to automatically remove these unnecessary file name artifacts instead of manually having to remove them on import.

  3. When using the up and down keys on the magic keyboard for the iPad Pro, scrolling in Good Notes 5 has no smooth animation, but harsh stops. In Safari the scrolling animation is really smooth, and gives a more convenient experience when reading long documents.

  4. Çok sayfadan oluşan dokümanlar için çerçeveler özelliğini kullanıyoruz. Ancak çerçeveler ile bir sayfaya gittikten sonra, tekrar başka bir sayfaya gitmek için çerçeveler sekmesini açtığımızda, çerçeveler in en başı çıkıyor ve tekrar aşağı inmek zorunda kalıyoruz. Mesela cevap anahtarı olan bir soru bankasında soru çözerken, soru sayfası ile sondaki cevap anahtarı arasında git gel yapmak zorlaşıyor. Bence çerçeveler sayfası açıldığında kullanılan sayfa en ortada olacak şekilde açılmalı. En baş sayfa en üstte olmamalı.

  6. i use goodnotes to write all my class notes. even though it performs really well its very sad that its has only a handful of fonts of which most of them are creepy.
    so i used custom fonts to get the job done. but after ipados 14 apple limited font access by system fonts only. as a result even after installing custom profiles i am not able to see the installed fonts. many other apps like procreate can still use installed fonts..the new goodnotes in ipados 14 fails to do so which frustrates me a lot. kindly update the app…

  7. When adding a new document (PDF) to Goodnotes, it would great to check if the document is not already in the library (Apple Books does that already).

  8. Just dragging the pencil over the txt should select and allow drag and drop

    Copy , cut and paste - the Text must be from the PDF and not what’s added by goodnotes

  9. E.g Automatically switch black to white pen color when opening a black (template) document
    Or have a different pen color palette for black template document (instead of a global constant)

  11. besides Mac ecosystem IF and WHEN someone needs to search and extract or share contents from Goodnote in front of a computer it'd be perfect if there's a web portal or web app allowing one to get access to those and work on a PC or Mac machine as well.

  14. In other apps when you scroll at speed, and then contact the trackpad with your fingers, the scrolling stops immediately. However, in GoodNotes, scrolling does not stop even when fingers contact the trackpad.

    Having a scrolling behavior that stops exactly when you want it to makes it much easier to quickly see a page as you scroll so that you know whether you’re on the right page yet, and also allows you to quickly scroll a single page down with a flick of the fingers, and then stop it immediately. It may not seem like much in writing, but it…

  15. Some tools like NotesPlus and Noteshelf seem to improve my handwriting so it is Smoother and more while other tools like GoodNotes don’t do this.

    My writing seems to be more angular and ragged in GoodNotes.

    I wonder if the authors of Good Notes have reviewed these other packages to get a sense of a different writing experience ?

    Is this an area GoodNotes might address?

  16. I’ve just had a bad experience with NotesPlus in which the app has had a series of really bad software problems.

    In looking for replacements, I am extremely worried about vendor lock in where the editable version of my data is locked away inside a black box.

    My notes are just that, my notes, and reflect many hours of my life’s work.

    Fortunately NotesPlus uses an open data format - a directory structure which includes document names and a tree of sub folders that hold each page of handwritten text as an SVG scalable vector graphics file which I can…

  17. Enable more colors and styles for the laser pointer. Also provide a feature that gives the option to keep laser writing on the document longer until dismissed by presenter via erasure or some special triple tap, or even a release button at the top.

  18. Being able to adjust opacity would enable note taking to use a Boldness type feature for important ideas and parenthetical ideas could be more faint.

  19. This feature is very limited and has become a nuisance as I write my notes. Notes and Nobility have this feature. Hopefully, this can be incorporated into the next update because this app is my go-to for schoolwork.
