  2. A similar idea has been posted, but I want to make another point. Given you’re current framework where each page is a separate file, it should be relatively simple to add a way (probably the Share drawer icon) to copy that page file address link and paste it in other apps where if i click the link it would open GoodNotes up and show me that page.

    Bonus points if this link could be SHARED to other GoodNotes users (who do not even have the file) and it could open up that page on THEIR Mac/iPad/iPhone etc. This would be…

  3. Wenn ich beispielsweise einen Text auf einer linierten Vorlage per Tastatur eintippe, möchte ich, dass sich die Schriftgröße und der Zeilenabstand automatisch dieser Seitenvorlage anpasst. Ansonsten überlappen sich die Zeichen mit den Linien, wodurch es sehr unleserlich wird. Eine andere erdenkliche Lösung wäre, dass man den Hintergrund in 2 Teile unterteilen kann, um für den Textbereich einen freien Hintergrund zu haben.
    Mein Ziel ist es, per Hand- und per Tastatur geschriebene Texte auf einer Seite zu kombinieren und dabei alles gerade und leserlich zu behalten.
    Wie kann ich das lösen?
    Vielen Dank
    Herr Riebau

  4. I will use different pen style when taking notes in class. I need to switch very quickly. But Goodnotes only can quick switch 3 colours which is not enough.

  5. Handwriting flashcards is a great idea, but it would be even better if we could print them with proper formatting (double sided) with the question on one side and the answer on the other. This would be really helpful for practicing with physical cards for studying rather than staring at a screen, but also gives the ability to add images / organize diagrams and such more cleanly.

    Thank you for your consideration!

  6. It feels like the macOS app is unfinished and has performance problem, like lag, slow, sync problems etc. This makes the user experience of macOS app very bad.

  7. First , I chooses GoodNotes but when i when I know the two things about Noteshelf is that-
    1) we can recor d and also import voice record from file and also we can manage on page where we need .
    2) and also individual file lock
    Really this attract me and I switched on Noteshelf..

    If GoodNotes also add this feature in his app then it will be great.

    Please review this feature, I also attached this in comments
    Please find it

  9. It would be very useful to insert a function that, after selecting an equation written by hand with the pen, using the lazo tool, recognizes this and calculates it automatically.

  11. Instead of having to scroll through different tabs for notes when several of them are open, they should condense and all stay on the screen for easier access (similar to how google chrome tabs do)

  12. Dear GoodNotes

    Hi, I'm an university student who is using your application very often.

    It is a bit shameful to say but to be honest, my handwriting isn't that good.

    So I hope the good notes automatically change my handwriting into Text.

    If you apply deep learning system for each users, AI will understand and change someone's handwriting to Text even if his handwriting is barely understandable in human's view . And also, users can customize their own AI system.

    It must improve and reduce misconversion for each users.

    I hope you consider about it

    Best regards

  14. When I set the scrolling direction in Goodnotes to vertical, and I scroll up or down, the document keeps moving when I lift my finger or fingers.

    This happens occasionally in other apps if I swipe very fast, but in Goodnotes it seems to happen any time I'm not super careful. That means it happens way too often!

    This makes it hard to get the page to the place I want. If I'm presenting from the iPad, I keep accidentally scrolling to the wrong page. And I personally find it very unpleasant to look at--it's almost nauseating.

    Please, turn down…

  18. I have been using GoodNotes for over two months now. The only thing I would point to as poor is the text input/editing functions. Please add a few basic options such as Bullet Point, Check Box, and Tables.

    GoodNotes is my favorite note-taking app, but the text function could be improved a little more.

  20. Hey GoodNotes Team,

    I‘m a teacher from Germany and love & use GoodNotes5 for preparing und presenting my lessons.
    The presantation mode is great, but I dream about a function, that would allow me to see the whole script, that my students on the external screen don‘t see. Like a thin layer, so I see points I shouldn‘t forget or where I must draw or write something, without using an extra piece of paper.

    Best Wishes
    Dustin
