  1. 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

  2. The laser pointer has a very cool design to it. I would love if they could make the design of how it looks into a pen so you could write notes using that design

  3. 你们在最新版本中去掉了这个选项,无法隐藏状态栏。本来工具栏面积就很大,现在不能隐藏状态栏,导致文档显示面积进一步被压缩。不要为了适配iPados15的分屏键,就让整个软件变得难用。

  5. Es wäre sehr hilfreich, wenn man die Lernkarten (z.B. für Vokabeln) in beide Richtungen abfragen lassen könnte.

  6. Hi, I find sometimes I could not get my files synced. When I launch the app, I sometimes have to wait for sync, which is waste of time. Especially when I use my device to modify my files, I shift to another device. It will do nothing and I really want a button or something like pull down to refresh to sync all my files manually. I think I could be useful, thanks.

  7. Please get rid of the text box feature in this app that makes you create multiple text boxes and have to manually re-size them. Instead make it so we have continuous typing without text boxes

  8. I'd like to use those gestures when editing images, elements and shapes.
    Those gestures are such a fundamental part of iOS/iPadOS that it feels strange when I constantly try to use them but they don’t work in GoodNotes.
    Especially since other gestures like a three-finger pinch to copy are supported.

  9. It would be nice to be able to organize the notes I post on GoodNotes Community into folders (ex. by class or subject) so it’s easier to navigate a person’s profile

  10. Track changes: allow users to see changes that they've made to their notes document so that they can restore to previous versions if necessary
    View previous versions: allow users to see any previous saved versions of their document and allow them to restore to a version if necessary.

  12. Please add GIF feature to GoodNotes because in my studies there are various topics on which I have to use GIFs but, I cannot. My notes are pending. Please add this feature as fast as you can so that I can continue my studies.
    I hope you will add this feature.

    Regards

  13. Please include an option to disable the zoom window and the highlighting/selection features entirely. I prefer to zoom and select manually and it’s annoying to have the app constantly highlighting parts of my musical score or to see the black “zoom” option button appear just because I’ve touched the screen a bit too long.

  14. 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.

  15. I initially had a custom pen color palette with no problems. However, after I decided to delete my colors and replace them with newever colors, my palette always resets to the old custom palette I had. I constantly lose the new colors I create and this occurs for my highlighter colors too.

  16. Notability now offers an extension that allows the user to convert written math into a digital font (trig functions, integrals, summation, greek alphabet etc.) I think that this would be one of the most utilized features in goodnotes if it were to be added. It is infinitely more appealing and much easier to understand especially for very large problems.

  17. Every time a new version of the same script (film/tv) comes out, I would love to be able to transfer my notes and additional pages to the new script.
    At the moment I have to manually transfer one note and additional page at a time.

  19. Since iOS 13 there is the possibility to hold and drag the scroll bar on the right to scroll. This does not seem to be the case in GoodNotes 5. It‘s a very small but useful feature to get a quick glance at the document or finding a page in a big document. Once you get used to it in other apps like OneNote, you start to miss it in GoodNotes 5.

  20. You can’t save or export highlights on PDFs imported into GoodNotes. But given GoodNotes is such a nice PDF reader, I want to do reading in GoodNotes and then be able to use the content I’ve highlighted elsewhere, e.g. combine it with highlights in Pocket or Instapaper, as part of my research workflow. But at the moment the highlights are static and stuck in the app, so you have to go back through each reading 1 at a time. Enabling highlight exporting — especially if automated via Readwise — would be a gamechanger in allowing me to use GoodNotes for…
