  2. For handwritten notes, there's nothing better. But at the moment, the app is geared too heavily towards the iPad, rather than cross-platform.

    I picked up my phone to type a quite to-do list this morning, (to keep everything in one place, rather than using the Apple Notes app), and the text was tiny. Creating a bulleted list was more difficult than it should've been. There was no option to properly format a bullet point list/add indents. And no checklist feature, to add tickable to-dos when you're using a keyboard (rather than an Apple pencil).

    Cross-compatibility for this kind of thing…

  4. I have spoken to many fellow students who all use GoodNotes and agree that an option to have highlights not overlap when continuing marks would be amazing. It is incredibly annoying when I want to continue highlighting after lifting my pen that when I go to highlight more I get a little discolored section because of the highlight marks overlapping. I think it would be an easy quality of life improvement for users of the app like me who like to take clean and beautiful notes.

  5. I am using this application in Japanese.
    Japanese has horizontal writing (top left to right) , like English, etc., and vertical writing (top right to bottom). Currently, it is very difficult to input text in vertical writing mode, so I would like you to add a ruled note for vertical writing. Also, if possible, we would appreciate it if you could add support for input mode.
    Please implement this in the Goodnote Shop, even if it is sold for a fee.

  9. With the double tap, we select the previous tool, but it would be very nice if we could select just the previous one.
    For example: If I am underlining with two colors (blue and red) I can go from one to the other with the double tap.

  11. I think, tabs and notebooks should remember several settings, such as the scaling of the notebook, the pen style, and probably several other settings.

  13. Someone who's learning Japanese may face the same problem as me. Every time I need to write/insert the Furigana (pronunciation of Kanji) manually for the Kanji that I don't know how to read. It would be great if there's a button to do that automatically like MS Word and ios Pages.

  14. I have one main issue that I encounter frequently when writing notes on my ipad. And thats when I run out of room to rest my palm when writing on the far right hand side of a page. My suggestion is to add the ability to scroll a bit past the page (say about a third) so that im able to properly write on the page without it auto aligning with the edge of the screen (I have included an example of what would be ideal). I personally use vertical scrolling and this idea would only work in this mode,…

  15. When I write my iPad heats up and drains the battery , I see this issue has not even been a priority for goodnotes users like my self

    When will it be fixed and not just worked on being fixed ?

    I love your app but if I can get more screen time, less heat and less drainage I’ll move to another app

    Also please include some organization for the folders I like some of the organization but it can feel overwhelming this being all over the place I like ABCD organization it’s terrible

    Thanks

  16. Study set is a good idea for study. However, once a study set is made, I cannot add new entry to it.
    I hope I can add new entries into the existing study set soon.

  17. Guten Tag,
    ich studiere zur Zeit und nutze dabei sehr gerne die neue Funktion der Lernsets. Eine kleine Verbesserung, welche aus meiner Sicht sehr zur Übersicht beitragen würde, ist dass man einstellen kann, von welchen Lernsets man eine Benachrichtigung bekommen möchte, dass man diese lernen soll. Ich habe nämlich viele Lernsets und verliere da total den Überblick.
    Vielen Dank im Voraus.

  18. I sell (printed) workbooks for secondary school in Germany.

    Is there a possibility to sell workbooks as PDFs (approx. 160 pages) in your pop-up store?

    It’s important that the PDFs cannot be shared or forwarded simply to other devices via AirDrop for example, but can only be used within the own account.

    Furthermore, I'd like to know if buttons with embedded links are possible in the PDFs?

    This would be an interesting market for all textbook publisher (who offer workbooks) if they could sell their books copy-protected through your platform.

    Looking forward to hearing from you.

    Kind regards

  19. I've seen your attempt to convert handwriting to equations and I love this idea. A word from a STEM student. Please leave an option to edit output manually using .tex. I will even pay additionally for such an option. Besides, it can improve your ML models, as most of the people that would use that, would probably be professionals which would make error detection far better.

  20. I noticed how smooth the laser pointer writes so a suggestion is make another pen style that writes the same way as the laser pointer writes, while keeping the pressure sensitive too.
