  2. The share sheet lets us integrate with various apps or shortcuts.
    For example, I often want to translate some sentences in the document to my native language.
    However, right now, I have to copy the sentence, close GoodNotes, open Safari, paste it to some translation website (e.g., DeepL), and then go back to GoodNotes, which is kind of annoying.
    If there were a share sheet, I could simply select the sentence, tap on the "Share" button, and choose whatever shortcuts I want to use.

  3. At the moment if you want to add an element in the library if the object in question was not created by hand, you need first to make a screeshot and then add the element. This can be relatively time consuming if you want to bulk create them, since making a screeshoot is a three step process (take screenshot -> Select export -> copy )

    An alternative would be to either or both:
    * add an element directly as an image by selecting a portion of the document
    * or by adding an instant snapshot feature to copy the area…

  5. excalidraw is a popular tool and has that same vibe of hand drawn coolness. They also seem to have a large set of libraries. It'll be a hug productivity boost if one can import their library

  6. My issue is:
    When taking notes, sometimes I accidentally zoom in too much and my writing is too small for a normal document.

    My suggested fix:
    A setting to set the max zoom. That way, for my standard use case, I can set max zoom and have that be my comfortable writing size for the page size.
    Might be helpful to have on a document basis rather than a global setting.

    Thanks!

  8. Bring back support for 3rd party styluses! Specifically, SonarPen. According to its Kickstarter, goodnotes was in the beta stage for officially supporting it--what happened?

  9. Each folder should save settings for Date/Name/Type and Icon/List settings... for instance, the root folder could be alphabetical list and each sub folder could be icons arranged by date (latest used), or something else

  10. Love Goodnotes! I am Frequently in multiple notebooks in folders when I need to make a new note. Now I have to back out of the notebook and folder to get to the Home Page to get to the New Note button. Having the ability to add a new note while in an existing notebook would be great.

    Thanks

  11. Text would be able to reshape it's boundaries to allow photos and other objects to remain in place.

  12. It would be so fantastic and handy if there is a painting tool to write show/hidden text. We can use it while writing notes to write keywords, saving time to new a “Flash Card”.

  13. Right now good notes doesn't support pinching with three fingers to copy and pinching out to paste. The only option is to hold for a second until the copy option pops up which is a bit tedious and slow.

  16. If I'm using Zoom on my iPad, I can't use presentation mode. I have to do Zoom on a computer and share the iPad to the computer via AirPlay or Reflector to get the presentation mode. It would be nice if I could get the presentation mode when doing Zoom through the Zoom app on the iPad.

  17. The idea is to update the file manager in order to make it’s style more uniform within iPadOS and it would be beautiful if we can save directly files in a file-folder that che be found in File app

  20. Hello,
    I´m one of the new M1 Ipad Pro user´s and the new Ipad has 8GB of Ram (or 16) and the goodnotes app still can´t have 4 tabs loaded at the same time.

    If I have 3 Tabs open I can swap between them without them loading again but if I open a fourth tab every other tab needs to reload again and that shouldn´t be the case since the new Ipad has way more RAM and so goodnotes should make us of that
