  1. I use Goodnotes for taking notes.
    It would be nice if I could use the relocating function(the red one in the pic) in the zoom window.

    Everytime I move my handwritings I should turn on the zoom window again and it is very annoying.

  2. It would be great to have the tool in use attached to a page.
    For instance, on one page, I have a pdf open and I use the highlight tool.
    On another page, I take notes with the pen.
    Going back and forth from one page to the other, I have to change the tool each time.
    (It was working this way on the previous version of GoodNotes)

  3. When using the slider mode on ipad where i have two seperate documents open side by side both occupying half the screen, the highlight colour options are not visible. I have to click on colour menu and change it every time. Please update it so we have colour options even when it's in slider mode.

  4. Olá! Algo que me incomoda muito é o fato de o aplicativo liberar apenas 3 cores quando o iPad está em modo horizontal, sendo que há espaço para colocar muito mais cores. Seria muito interessante aumentar esse número de cores para diminuir o tempo gasto para troca de cores

  5. Having the same file in multiple folders without having to duplicate the file to make 2 separate files. So edits on the document in one folder affect edits in the other folder.

  6. It would be very useful and would improve a lot the versatility of the app if one could use a smart pen to write with ink on paper and directly (or in some way) transfer on the app what has been written by the real pen

  7. Die Datenschutzerklärung und Nutzungsbestimmungen auf Deutsch einsehen zu können wäre wirklich hilfreich. Ich kann zwar Englisch, aber es gibt die App auf deutsch und ich fände es halt angenehmer.
    Es hält mich zwar auch nicht ab, mich zu informieren, aber es wäre halt angenehmer für mich.

  8. I see a few requests for larger buttons in specific use cases. I’d like to see larger tap targets overall, wherever possible. The aim would be to make less mistakes, reduce the concentration required to perform an action, and help people with less steady hands or thicker fingers. I was thinking that across the top, there is plenty of room to create more space between the icons. Maybe it gets tight on smaller iPads. Maybe not. But either way perhaps the spacing could be a little more dynamic, or larger for larger iPads. Not exactly a feature but something to…

  9. I only use Ipad - which I hate - for GoodNotes. I would gladly pay $30 for a Windows version to use on a Microsoft Surface. Please make a Windows version and free us from Apple.

  13. We use goodnotes in school and its hard to like read a text and do notes at the same time, because you have to switch pages every 2 seconds. Thats why i would be nice to have, this zoom-handwriting thing to work at the another page, while you reading at a page.

  15. I write text, but want to delete it so use the eraser function. When I remove my apple pencil off the page, it goes back to write function (pen) automatically. Great feature

    I write text. I now highlight the text using the highlighter function on GoodNotes. But it stays on the highlighter function so I have to click back to the pen function to continue writing.

    Why can the highlighter function work like the eraser function in reverting back to pen mode automatically

  18. I often practice for exams with my children. When doing that we take or get pictures or pdfs from the teaching material.

    Today we import each of those a picture, scale it to fit the page and then work with it.

    It would be amazing if we could create a new Notebook by selecting any number of photos and have them imported as a new background.

    It would be almost as good if it could automatically scale the picture to match the page. The reason to have it as background is that we never want anything to be behind it.…

  19. The GoodNotes on MacBook Air 2022 does not allow shortcuts for files to be sent from safari directly to GoodNotes. It's also very difficult to use this product on MacBook Air since it glitches when you're selecting text to copy and trying to unselect it.

    I truly enjoyed GoodNotes in the past so I'm hoping someone sees this and fixes these bugs on the software.

  20. I am using pencil gen 2 with iPad, what I met as following:
    - Use lasso tool to select a section in the page
    - Tap pencil twice (for daily usage, this act will do incautiously)
    - Lasso tool will be switched to eraser tool, and selected section will be lost
    - Even you try to tap pencil twice again, tool will be lasso tool again, however you will have to select the previous section again.
