  2. When using the Zoom Window in addition the Auto Advance having the blue box on the left side of the screen is quite inefficient. I have been a long time of user (3 years+) and I have always thought that enabling the choice for the Blue Auto Advance Box to be either on the left or right would be HIGHLY useful!

  3. I use Windows at work and iOS at home. I would like Goodnotes to sync between both devices WITH the ability to PASSWORD protect personal files independently from work files. Similarly to how GOogle drive has My Drive and Shared Drive. that way I can keep work separate from Personal

  4. Seeing that Goodnotes 6 has the capability to interpret/edit LaTeX obtained from handwriting in iOS, it should be possible to create new equations with the keyboard from a macOS.

  5. It would be amazing for technical sketching if shapes would lock to the grid when either drawing or using the lasso tool. Additionally the circle shape should have their handles for resizing on the top, bottom, left and right (always) instead of somewhere random. A „snap to center“ option would be also great, so you could e.g. center one circle within another one easily.

  6. Especially the highlighter - this is a standard Powerpoint document exported as a PDF and this is the largest highlighter size! It barely covers the title! Honestly having the maximum being absolutely huge would also be helpful if we may like to shade a whole background with a highlighter colour. Currently to get bigger highlighter regions I make a small rectangle with the highlighter and then select it as an object and enlarge it - I also wish we could adjust the width and height differently in that selection mode!

  8. Could you please add support for turkish language transcription in the audio to text feature?
    And it could be great to have an option to send recorded audio separately to others

  9. Ask goodnotes is a good thing but needs some pretty obvious, low hanging improvements to be really usable.
    When you select "translate" from the quick actions in "Ask goodnotes" you need to enter the language every time! This is incredibly annoying. Obviously it needs to remember your selection.
    In addition, the language defaults to the language of the text, which is, in gentle terms, less than intelligent. Make it default to English or to the system's language....

  10. I hope the Lasso tool could change the thickness of the writing. Currently we could change the color, but at times we need the thickness to separate titles from body text that we couldn't do when we are busy taking notes. This could help the note review process slightly more efficient.

  12. To Link across documents
    Make it more useable like LiquidText , like just linking things with just connecting words and pages. Which will be more helpful for researching.
    Add a side notes taking freespace for pdfs like LiquidText , which will also be very helpful.

  13. It would be fantastic to display other Apps ( for Schoolbooks. Pdf. , etc. ) on a second screen and open a document in goodnotes to make notes.

    The normal iOS note does it in this way.
    Goodnotes directly switches to presenter Mode if i open a document and hides my digital Schoolbooks.

    Should be like shown on the picture.

    IPad make notes
    Second screen display something

  14. I would love to have the ability to change the spacing of the grids for the 'Square Paper' template and also set a default grid spacing size for all the different paper options for both portrait and landscape just like Notability does. So it doesn't matter which paper size you choose to have if it is either A3, A4 or A5 etc, the gird spacing size will stay the same.

  15. I like the new feature where the outlines can be viewed in a side bar alongside the document. However I really wish I could have it that the outline title can wrap and go onto multiple lines instead of being cut off with ‘…’. Even though it would mean I have to scroll more to see all the outlines, I’d find it very useful to be able to read the full title I gave each page.

  16. I take notes with diff colour and diff size of pen so every time,I have to select size and colour if you provide more than one pen feature then it is easy to choose pen which is customised on my preference of size and colour. After that i have to choose only pen instead of choosing size and colour every time like notability. Please add that feature.

  17. 테이프로 암기하고 싶은 부분을 가렸다가 다시 터치하면 가린 내용이 보이는 기능에 대해 추가적 기능을 제안하고싶습니다.
    테이프를 다시 터치하는 기능을 1. 손이나 2. 어떤 도구를 사용하지 않는 상태의 펜으로만 가능한데요. 3. 레이저포인터를 이용하는 중일 때에도 테이프를 터치할 수 있게 해주셨으면 좋겠습니다.
    사진 첨부합니다. 사진의 상태에서 테이프 기능을 쓰고싶습니다.

  18. As a teacher I often have a lot of open documents, that are currently needed for the different classes I teach. When opening more than 4 or 5 files it gets difficult to distinguish between them without having to go back into folders.

    The following features would help here:
    - a dropdown menu to choose the file I need
    - the ability to group document tabs
    - colored document tabs similar to the new folder colors
    - a visual overview option to see small versions of all open documents, similar to the overview of open GoodNotes instances for split view…

  19. A button to configure a specific card to be reviewed with both the question first, or the answer, helping us to study cards in both directions, as already used in some flash card apps.

    Would also be ideal to be able to use the tape on the flash card questions, if tape is implemented.

  20. Whenever I type a number or hyphen at the start of a line, an automatic bullet/numbered list will appear and hijack my original structure. Can you provide an option to turn off automatic lists?
