  1. Add the flag for flagging pages back to the top left corner. I hate that I now have to click on the page organizer to add a flag or see which pages are flagged. It was especially helpful when the flag was located on the menu bar for when I am reading a document because it signals when to stop reading.

  4. I use goodnotes as my main PDF viewer, however whenever I want to navigate a Math book it is really long and tidious because there are hundreds of pages, and scrolling when there are no chapters to the PDF is really long and frustrating.

    That's why I suggest changing pages using left and arrow keys on keyboard as a fix to this.

    I think this is a reasonable solution as it should not be too hard to implement. Thank you.

  5. Sometimes, I would like to type in good notes. I dislike the text box function because it is so annoying to use. I have to expand the boxes to a certain size in order to not have my words hitting the bottom of the page every time I use the function. Instead I would love to see a separate type of page or note which lets you type instantly without having to use the function, as seen in apple notes. Please consider!

  6. Hello there. I would love if good notes allowed me to save my quick notes as untitled or untitled (1) instead of choosing a name for it. I always make small notes very quickly between lessons. It’s difficult to name every note I create.

  8. I love GoodNotes and have been using it for several years. I also use GoodNotes for workshops and presentations. Therefore, I've got many large PDF's in the database.

    My problem is, that the GoodNotes database (synchronized with iCloud) already has more than 26 GB. This fills up both my iPad and my Mac.

    I'd love the functionality to be able to view and sort all files by size (without folders), check the largest files, and delete them in a bulk action. This would really help!

    I assume that other passionate GoodNotes users have the same problem.

    Thank you,

    Stefan

  10. I used a translator because I was not good at English. Please understand me.

    Hello, I am a publishing editor in Korea.
    Thanks to Good Note, I was able to convert my work to digital. And I could save paper.
    More than 1,000 sheets of paper are usually used to make a book. You guys are saving the earth.

    There is a function I want to request.
    1. I have only checked the revised pages using the bookmark function. However, it is very uncomfortable because the bookmark button disappears from the work screen. Please mark the bookmark button again on…

  12. Some improvements need to be made to the Mac version of GoodNotes 5. The biggest aspect that needs improvement is the text/typing function. It would be amazing if the app had a processor similar to MS Word or Google Docs. Even at the basic level- having the ability to choose between a text box vs no text box (so having page parameters), automatically typing to the next line, being able to type on the lines of a page template without having to adjust the text box. Quite frankly, I do not use the Mac version as much as I would…

  13. Leider vermisse ich die Funktion, dass man einzelne Notizbücher mit einem Passwort oder ähnlichem schützen kann.
    Oder, für mehrere Benutzer entsprechende Passagen Passwort schützen. Für diesen Preis sollte es möglich sein. Des weiteren vermisse ich noch eine Terminierungsfunktion. Dies ist gerade für die Zusammenarbeit mit mehreren Personen sehr wichtig, um Folgeabläufe steuern zu können. Ein direktes umwandeln von Handschriften in Maschinenschrift wäre auch noch sehr von Vorteil. Leider reagiert hier der Support nicht!

  15. When collaborating on documents, sometimes it may be necessary to make a copy to make individual annotations. However, making a copy will not keep other annotations up-to-date/synced with the master/main copy. Thus, a feature allowing users to “fork” a document and keep it synced while adding their own edits in their forked document would be useful. This is important and especially essential for educational settings where a teacher or project leader may wish to distribute a template version for individuals to edit, but keep annotations or edits updates on all copies.

    A further extension to this would be the ability…

  16. Would like to be able to use either a Bluetooth or USB (via adapter/receiver) presentation remote to advance slides in GoodNotes. Sometimes there are parts of the presentation that do not require annotation and it would be nice for instructors to be able to put the device down for a sec and still be able to advance pages/slides.

  17. I really like the Ultimate Study Planner, though I haven't used it, as I really can't work with the Sunday-Monday-Tuesday-...-Saturday format. Any chance that you can adapt this planner (and maybe also others that include this format of weekdays) for those who use Monday-Tuesday-...-Saturday-Sunday format?

  18. Als Linkshänder kommt man immer mit der Hand auf die Toolleiste und verstellt das Werkzeug oder das Dokument. Es wäre extrem cool wenn man wählen könnte ob links oder rechts und die Toolleiste dann an den unteren Bildrand rutscht. Denn so macht arbeiten am iPad echt keinen Spaß. Danke

  19. While we open a goodnotes shared link in browser tab (web), currently we have a plain title as "Goodnotes" for all the urls.

    It would be great if we set title as document name.
