  1. Wenn ich ein Dokument durch Doppel-Tap auf die Fensterbreite gezoomt habe und dann scrolle, verschiebt es sich gerne auch seitwärts. Das hätte ich gerne verhindert.

  2. Ich hätte gerne eine frei verschiebbare Leiste, in die ich Stifte und Textmarker mit beliebigen Einstellungen hinzufügen kann. Jeweils 3 Farben sind ein bisschen zu wenig.
    Ich möchte eine Kurzwahl zu von mir voreingestellten Stiften mit je einer Farbe und Strickstärke.

  3. When you finish writing on a page, it automatically goes to the next page. If you are writing and then go back and add something, it currently disappears off the bottom of the page. Notability is AMAZING for this...... Catch up goodnotes.

  4. Please add lines to the flash card templates. I love using the flash cards but mine always end up so messy!

  5. I think when circling objects to move them is amazing, but I wish we could resize it, such as making the object bigger or smaller

  6. Currently resizing an image proportionally resizes from the centre. Often when trying to resize an image to the same size as an existing one it is convenient to line up from the corners, but as the resize feature stretches the image from the centre it becomes inaccurate and difficult to guess the relative size of images

  7. Please update the feature where you can export your goodnotes 5 book to an PDF and still be able to get the organization done.

    Sadly it is not possible to maintain the right Structure, because when exporting it to an PDF your structure will get reorganize to the date you added each structure. (see my examples in the Pictures)

    Also this feature only works if you export your document as an editable PDF. BUT Sadly then you are also not able to search your hand written text any more, because it does not get recognized.

    So try to implement that…

  8. I use GoodNotes to label anatomy pictures. I paste the picture into GoodNotes app on my laptop and then label the image with my iPad + Apple Pencil. Multiple times, I've labeled an image fully (takes a lot of time) and on my laptop, when trying to sync, it slightly moves the image so all of my labels are now off and impossible to re-align because when you move an image, the labels go behind it (can't see anything). It would be nice if you could merge layers (image + labels) so nothing can detach them like moving the image.

  10. I have imported my own font to use, however, I am unable to use it as fast and efficiently as I wish because every time I create a new text box it goes to the standard font style and size

  11. I like to type down the notes. but as a Chinese, I type two languages.
    When I type English with the TimesNewRoman font, and then I want to type Chinese, it changes into the font that I don’t like automatically.
    What’s worse, when I want to type English again, it’s still using the font that i hate, this time it didn’t change automatically, I have to change the font by myself again, it’s so annoying.
    Please save the default font by typing languages.
    Please improve the experience of typing.

  12. Being able to split a page horizontally would allow to insert a new page for notes in between lines. This is useful for exercise pdfs with many questions, so you can answer directly below the question.

  13. I love the flash cards they are an amazing studying tool. But when studying them, I often feel the urge to zoom into my answers as they have diagrams. Also sometimes I need to fill in a lot of information on the flashcard which means I have to write small and when I do this, it’s really hard to see them in the study mode. It would be really helpful to be able to zoom in and out of the flash cards whilst studying them.

  14. It would be a lot more convenient if I could place the toolbar on the side of the screen so I could easily reach it with my non-writing hand.

  15. To utilise the new elements feature it would be great if we would be able to import or export elements sets. This would be great for digital sticker sets you buy from Etsy or similar places, so you do not have to import each sticker individually.

  16. The new flash card feature is terrific! Thank you! I have been a Anki user for a long time because of their image occlusion add on. It allows you to make a flash card from any image, which has been super useful to increase productivity and minimize time spent making cards. Anki did not have a convenient draw function. Goodnotes has solved that problem for me.

    A easy fix would be a solid fill in the shape tool. This would allow image occlusion and make the flash card template unstoppable. I know dental and medical students would really appreciate this…

  17. Why not add a ruler and/or a virtual protractor to GoodNotes, it would be so much more practical to do graphs, draw vectors etc... because at the moment there is no precise tool.
    (For example, there is a virtual rule on the Notes app on iOS).

    PS : A compass could also be useful but less important than the rule and the protractor which are ESSENTIAL!

  20. I want the option to be able to go to a different page and then click a 'back button' to whatever page I was on previously (within the same notebook). This would be really helpful since some of my notebooks are really long, and sometimes I just want to check something out on a different page and then go back to the page I was previously on. It takes me a long time to scroll all the way back to the page, so this would be very helpful :)
