  1. Hello guys,
    I've got a cool idea :). If you could implement a safe exam mode where the teacher can upload an exam and students can answer it on GoodNotes and if they leave the tab, the exam gets ended (just like exam.net). That would be excellent for teachers, schools, students which love their iPads and also helpful for the climate change.

  2. This was previously possible and I’d love to see it return- the ability to single tap or double tap on a sticker and write without the sticker option for copying and pasting activating especially if text box is deselected in lasso tool.

  3. I hope that double-clicking can allow users to set a third zoom size, not just the minimum zoom and zoom in to the page size, but also the maximum visible block zoom, you can refer to Apple books, their double-click zoom is what I want, so that it can make People who write on books get more room to mark their handwriting

  5. I have had a problem for a couple of months. I use Good notes for tutoring, and I use the highlighter or drawing features a lot on imported text documents. When my students try to draw or highlight, "the comment" option frequently appears. It is very sensitive if they hold down the key for too long. This is annoying and frustrating for them. How can I turn off the comment feature?

  8. the textbox tool is broken.
    when using the text box and tapping the screen (even if using the on-screen keyboard) the textbox will undo ( and it won't be reversible ) so you will need to retype everything. furthermore, it keeps this weird overlay of way should have happened if it would work correctly or something that should have been deleted but for some reason stays. and when switching pages and then editing a textbox you will get "teleported" into a random previewed page. and if the pages are similar you might rune some notes.

  9. Beim arbeiten in der Schule habe ich bemerkt, dass es bei ihrer tollen App einen Verbesserungsvorschlag meinerseits gibt.
    Beim Scrollen (horizontal) wäre es gut, wenn sich der eingezoomte sichtbereich beim Scrollen auf eine andere Seite nicht nach oben verschieben würde.

  10. Sometimes undo button seems to be a little far and multiple undos are required in order to get the perfect writing. If options for double tap on apple pencil were given, it would be a good addition. Also a set of favourite tools like collanotes or notability would be required. Never the less, Goodnotes is the best, just lacking a few features to ultra perfection!

  12. Please add a confirmation button to the duplication shortcut. "command D" duplicates my notebooks and makes my good notes crash. I accidentally press it instead of "command F" which is search quite often.

  15. I take a picture of a bathroom and use goodnotes to draw simulations of furniture and tiles etc. on top of the image i.e. the straight lines on the image does not align with the straight lines on the grid paper (due to optics, angles, wide-angles, etc.)

    Quite often, it is impossible to draw the correct straight line exactly from the correct points on the image e.g. floor corner to ceiling corner, because Goodnotes insist on snapping the line to the underlying grid.

    I wish I could completely disable all snap-to-grid functionality.

    thanks for a great app!

  16. A feature that enables creation of single-document documents. That means documents that do not allow to switch to other documents in goodnotes.

    This feature would enable to use goodnotes for writing exams. Currently this is not possible, since student can easily browse their other goodnotes for cheating.

    While it is possible to lock in students in the goodnotes app using Classroom, it is not possible to lock them in a specific document, e.g. the exam.

  17. GoodNotes should implement a feature to filter out only pages with annotation, side by side with the outlines menu.
    This would be much more convenient when reviewing large documents and e-textbooks.

  19. For small businesses, it is important to keep your intellectual properties to yourself.
    We spend countless hours creating spreads, and I want to restrict some parts of it so that the spreads cannot be manipulated but users can still write on the pdf and add pages. Sort of like flattening the spreads as a background image with links instead of shapes that can be extracted.
    However, when i restrict editing with a password in adobe reader, I have to type in the password before I can open the document in goodnotes. Is it possible to import the pdfs as a…

  20. Dears,

    I am a really satisfied user of GoodNotes5, but I really think that the app would be so much better if you allow the customers to create their personalized subsections of any file they are reading. As of today it is only possible to create Sections in the table of contents but there is no way to create Subsections which would allow users to navigate in a more structured way through their notes.
