  2. 1.在输入科学公式、方程方面软件目前没有好的解决方案,建议支持插入LaTex公式输入,手写识别时能支持将手写内容经过OCR识别直接转化为美观的公式样式。推荐一个在科学公式识别方面做的非常好的公司,他们的服务可以廉价提供,他们的网站是:https://mathpix.com/

    2.在文本框编辑状态下,软件无法兼容苹果笔的“随手写”功能,该功能可以实时进行手写识别完成文本输入。

    I am a Chinese user, and the following text is generated by machine translation.

    1. Currently, there is no good solution for the input of scientific formulas and equations. It is suggested that LaTex formula input should be supported and handwritten content can be directly transformed into a beautiful formula style through OCR recognition. Recommend a company that does a really good job of identifying scientific formulas, and their service is available on the cheap, at https://mathpix.com/

    2. In the state of text box editing, the software is not compatible with apple Pen's "write casually" function, which can realize…

  3. This would change a lot! There are a few options to have your work synced to a backup folder, however there is no option for icloud. As many users probably use icloud for their backup-system this would help a lot!

    Thank you

  4. Not sure how to describe this. But it is a hassle sometimes, that whenever i draw a graph for example and use different colors and sizes etc. to annotate it and then release i need to erase something which happens to cross over the lines of my graph, the graph would get erased as well.

    So maybe an option to pin something like on Canva so it can‘t be edited anymore.

  5. It would be nice if there were a way to index all pages written and make them available where one finds Thumbnails / Favorites / Outlines a way to go quickly review and find.

    I will use when I have a normal document with a lot of pages, and I have to write some notes, o highlight something, and then quickly find in the documents my notes.

  6. I like the idea of having a storage on camera button that has a drop-down menu to store clipart a person uses. For example in physics I use this clipart of a car or buildings alot to help quickly have free body diagrams. Having a drop-down menu of tables, pictures, and other tools saved for quick access would nice versus having to constantly copy, paste, or crop

  7. I'm really supporting Good Notes, but for saving my notes for school, I would like to prefer DS File as my backup application, so that I can use my Synology NAS to do a backup.

    Thank you for reading my Idea.

  9. Good Day

    quite a few companies use goodnotes on the flight deck. We regularly need to rearrange the pages in a special manner. Right now you can use the overview but you only can move one page by time. It really helps if you can mark several pages and move it to a specific spot.
    That would be a super B add-on :)

  10. because all files are sync to the cloud (icloud/onedrove...) we should be able to desync some of them so they take less space but are still visible on the app. And re-download them when we need to

  11. Don't want to have to scroll all the way to a font I used somewhere else. A "recently used" section would be very helpful.

  12. I’d love to have a lab notebook mode where every page is automatically stamped with a date and time, and a locking button so that page can’t be written on after being locked, or can refer to that page by copying it, so as to meet lab notebook standards.

  13. Email to GoodNotes is a pretty handy automation feature, but it is quite annoying to get all the files in the "Home" directory. It would be really nice if it was possible to add the option to use a relative path to the home directory like '/university/cs1' as subject of the mail.

    That way I could automatically import my scripts into GoodNotes and they would be there whenever I wanted to use them. Currently I have to search for the required script in the set of scripts forever, which costs me more time than downloading the scripts as soon as…

  14. I’m using vertical page view. No matter how fast I scroll (ipad, with a finger), it a fixed speed. This is not the case with native scrolling, in a webpage for example or a pdf file.
    Pls make scrolling with varied speed, same as native device.

  16. 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…

  19. It would be great to have a menu bar where you can see all the tabs of the different documents even if you go back to the main document menu.
    Now if you want to go back to your open document you actually have to open another document from the main menu to get back to the view of the different tabs.
    Please keep the tabs on display whereever you are in goodnotes. Would be super helpful

  20. I would love for the App to support full presentation mode for Powerpoint slides with all the animations and transitions

    with the ongoing pandemic, online classes are quite common now and teaching online requires an excellent app that can be used to stream to students.

    it would so awesome to combine the annotation capabilities of good notes and combine that with Microsoft powerpoint for awesome presentations to students.
