  3. This would prevent the difference in font sizes when you close your notes and open them back up again. I always forget how far I zoom in so my notes end up looking messy because of the different sizes of some of my sentences.

  4. When you choose a new ink, it necessary to select it before use. It will be a very easy use to have an automatic select after click

  5. It would be nice to be able to realign the button options on the bottom of the page. For example, “favorites” is currently to the far right which I use often, and “share” is closer to the middle which I never use.

  6. If we are in a document, that’s not yet marked as a favorite, it would be great to be able to “favorite” the ENTIRE document from there, not just the page were are in.

  7. Good Notes 5 doesn’t allow you to select all bookmarked pages in Favorites and trash them. See attached video. You can trash all but one page. Otherwise you get a pop-up warning message.

    Please provide a Select All button and allow a quick way to Trash all
    bookmarked pages.

  9. Hi, working on PDFs with GoodNotes for Mac,
    the idea is to create a pinching cursor to drag/navigate/move on a PDF (maps for exemple).
    That would be much easier that using the scrolling/swipping (shift key) wheel of the mouse.
    Inviting you to check the attached pdf to get the idea. Hope to see this feature soonly. Thanking you by advance.

  10. Zoom window can be resized and dragged anywhere in the screen like putting it on the left side on landscape mode or just putting it on 1/4 of the screen

  12. I appreciate that GoodNotes is constantly syncing to my iCloud account and that feature works great. However, on my MacBook Pro, it is frustrating when the program opens on my screen and interrupts my current activities. Is there a way to have the background sync on the Mac function as it does, while keeping the program minimized in the background? Thx

  13. Ich habe 4 Applegeräte, iMac, 2 IPads und ein IPhone. Wenn ich Lernkarten auf meinem iMac erstelle, sehe ich sie auch auf den anderen Geräten. Das ist o. K.
    Aber: Wenn ich auf einem der Geräte angefangen habe zu lernen, kann ich nicht auf einem anderen weitermachen.
    Beispiel: Ich trainiere zu Hause auf dem Mac, möchte aber unterwegs auf dem iPhone weitermachen - aber das geht leider nicht.
    Kompatibilität ist mein Vorschlag.
    Mit freundlichen Grüßen
    Olaf

  14. Sometimes when I read and take notes on lecture PowerPoint pdf on GoodNotes, I feel like the pages display are too big (I used an iPad Pro) esp when the content on the slides is not very compact. So I wonder if it’s possible to set how the pdf to be displayed, like for horizontal it can be set to 2x2, 3x2. Or for vertical, it can be set to 2x4, 2x6, or even 3x4 etc instead? To be able to view more pages at a glimpse like the outlines and also able to actually read the content would be…

  17. It woud be very helpful to have the opportunity to use your fingers navigate in more ways. A) For instants, use (starting from full page) 'zoom-out' with 2 or 3 finger to get to overview like the 4-square-icon does, with-out opening a new overlay windows. B) use 2 or 3 fingers to swipe faster through pages in a way the pages will move from the stack of pages.

  20. Hello!

    I am teacher in a german elementary school and I am using my Ipad and GoodNotes at the digital Whiteboard. I really love it. Thanks! But I am really missing some features. I usually make a picture of my worksheets. It would be perfect, if there is a scan-help, that the worksheets look better (light, zoom, cut, distort...). The other thing is, that I need more papers like math-paper with edges, or lines for elementary school.

    I hope you like the ideas.

    Thanks!
