  2. Mir gefällt an GoodNotes sehr, dass man das Cover des Notizbuches selbst gestalten kann.
    Für die Struktur arbeite ich jedoch lieber mit den Ordnern.
    Deshalb wünsche ich mir, dass man die Icons der Ordner ebenfalls selbst gestalten könnte oder zumindest in verschiedenen Farben wählen könnte.

    —————————

    What I really like about GoodNotes is that you can design the cover of the notebook yourself.
    However, I prefer to work with the folders for the structure.
    That's why I wish that you could also design the folder icons yourself or at least choose different colors

  3. Some improvements need to be made to the Mac version of GoodNotes 5. The biggest aspect that needs improvement is the text/typing function. It would be amazing if the app had a processor similar to MS Word or Google Docs. Even at the basic level- having the ability to choose between a text box vs no text box (so having page parameters), automatically typing to the next line, being able to type on the lines of a page template without having to adjust the text box. Quite frankly, I do not use the Mac version as much as I would…

  4. Add a way to create custom pen colors for each notebook. For instance I color code stuff for each notebook I have but I don't want to go searching for all the colors I saved. Instead I want to name a custom color pallet so the pen and highlighter slots change color at one instead of individually changing the colors.

  8. I would really like to be able to delete notebooks when they are open, rather than having to go back to the document menu view. I often have many notebook tabs open and find that some are not needed anymore. It would be more efficient if I could delete those notebooks directly, rather than having to first locate where they are stored.

  9. -be able to move the toolbar to the bottom of the screen without moving the navigation bar.
    -to be able to move things around on the screen based on the document that I am editing.
    -be able to choose how much the zoom window moves for auto-advance because I always have to move it anyway since it doesn't follow the lines on the lined template

    -For example, we can move the toolbar to the bottom of the screen, but that changes the zoom editing to be at the top of the screen and the document at the bottom. I want…

  12. Since the external display support has been published for the newer Ipad pro models, it would be great to have usage of it. For now it always opens the good notes file in full screen on your external monitor when you try to open it on your ipad to work on a note. Fixing that would be a great improvement for the workflow with external monitors.

  13. Text Box for MacOS another fix.

    The mouse coursor on MacOS doesn't change when hovering over the dot to resize the text box. So you have no indication if you are resizing or not. it continues to show the insert text cursor.

  15. Create better accessibility for low vision users. It would be nice to have the ability to increase the boldness of the lines on pages or the ability to increase the size of the tools menu. Currently I have to use the zoom feature to help choose the correct tool. We are not all created equal in the low vision community so it would be nice to have options. This doesn’t seem like it should require votes or likes. Thank you.

  16. This was previously possible and I’d love to see it return- the ability to single tap or double tap on a sticker and write without the sticker option for copying and pasting activating especially if text box is deselected in lasso tool.

  17. I hope that double-clicking can allow users to set a third zoom size, not just the minimum zoom and zoom in to the page size, but also the maximum visible block zoom, you can refer to Apple books, their double-click zoom is what I want, so that it can make People who write on books get more room to mark their handwriting

  19. I have had a problem for a couple of months. I use Good notes for tutoring, and I use the highlighter or drawing features a lot on imported text documents. When my students try to draw or highlight, "the comment" option frequently appears. It is very sensitive if they hold down the key for too long. This is annoying and frustrating for them. How can I turn off the comment feature?
