  1. Now:
    - When want to add new blank page, can only choose from preset sizes (not same size as document).
    - Or, copy 'current template' and insert blank image onto page.

    Suggestion:
    - New 'current template' with blank page (white or black or sample color from background) with the SAME SIZE as previous document page

  2. Please add the ability to scale the size of the paper on the screen so that it is the same size as the actual paper.
    The story of how I came to this conclusion is below.

    GoodNote's convenient scaling function makes it easy to draw fine text and figures. But at the same time that functionality takes you away from writing on actual paper.
    For example, in reality, writing letters with a 0.3mm ballpoint pen on A4 size paper means that 0.3mm letters are written in a 210mm x 297mm sheet of paper. However, on GoodNote, the same thing is…

  4. Hi, if you want your customers to trust you, then of course yes, providing the user with a quick and safe payment method will increase the likelihood that they will make a purchase and come back to you next time. For example, ask the user https://rexsoftinc.com/e-scooter-business to pay for a product or service using familiar methods such as Google Pay, Apple Pay, or PayPal.

  5. Context: Notes contain concepts and theory, and often, these concepts must be applied in examples (especially in engineering where there are tonnes of examples in the lectures). Examples take up a lot of space in the 'theory' document, and makes scrolling through the document more tedious and makes it harder to find the notes you are looking for in a quick and efficient manner.

    Solution: Rather than doing examples in another notebook, it would be nice if you could simply add a page(s) behind or adjacent to the current 'theory' page which you can do examples on. This would make…

  8. when typing notes, I use different colors to signify different things, but I consistently have an issue where when I click to change the color the command is just ingnored. I have to either close the document or shut down the whole app. It’s very frustrating and I’m doing school work for 8+ hours a day and can’t handwrite it all. recently it’s also started just randomly changing the color or even the font size a couple of times while I’m typing. I know that Goodnotes is primarily for handwriting, but it’s the app I prefer for note taking and…

  11. The current text box makes it impossible to accurately resize, move, or highlight text (and with an Apple Pencil, scribble) without accidentally doing one of the other things. It is ridiculously difficult especially with small text boxes and this is because the resize and move are so close to the text and each other. I find it very difficult to move text because I can’t “grab” the box in the first place.

    Notability has a much better text box so I think this is extremely possible to change.

  13. I 'd like to use GoodNotes on the Ipad for in-class teaching, mostly for presenting slides and occasionally writing notes on them. To my experience, GoodNotes does not support presentation clickers to move between slides. That would be a nice feature to have.

  14. I would love to see an erase feature added where you just circle around a specific section/word/etc. Then just click inside the invisible circle drawn and all of the stuff inside the circle erases. Sorta like how old smart boards did.

  16. When more than three documents are open at the same time the pages keep reloading when you cycle between them. Super annoying as it takes extra time, and the page zooms to default size. The iPad can keep apps running in the background for weeks without reloading so I’m pretty sure it could manage many more than three simple documents opened simultaneously.

  17. Hi all,

    has anyone worked with mics into the bluebox yet? I usually work with live vocals a lot and try to avoid taking a dedicated submixer for the microphones to a live set. So I was thinking something like the iRig Pre to boost the mic signal. But I'm not sure if the Bluebox inputs work with the TRRS jacks that are mostly for phones/tablets.

    Any experiences here?

    Thank you!

  18. It would be nice to have different workspaces. Sometimes you have some material from a course and maybe you want review it in the future, but when you have a lot of material is a mess, because everything is mixed. For example on my degree in my 4 years, I have subjects that maybe I don't need to review actually and I've tagged or marked pages, when I mark new pages when I go to marked pages or favourites I can find all the content mixed. I would like to see what is marked or tagged in my actual workspace.…

  20. I would really love to have a favorites marker bar that can be moved around or even just more options than just three colors in the dock. It would help alot to switch between highlighters faster.
