  2. I have an iPad Pro, there's lots more space in my toolbar for more than 3 "circles"/swatches to quickly select colors. If I could remove icons I never use (such as Detail view, image and presenter mode), there would be even more space. Right now, I'm always using 7-8 colors simulaneously, having to switch constanly is rather annoying.

  3. When moving things around using the lasso tool in large documents I often experience that some text just randomly disappears. Sometimes it can be entire pages and it is very frustrating as a student when you just finished a page of an assignment and suddenly it is gone. If I restart the document then the text is back. Also I experience a lot of lagging when in a large document. I think these two things have to be fixed because I find GoodNotes the best note taking app on the market except for this rather disturbing error.

  5. The selection tool and eraser should have options for selecting only the highlighter or pen. This would allow speakers to "reuse" pages for live lectures (for example, in a zoom conference or youtube recording).

  6. Go from 3 to 5 standard pre-set pen weights. I find the jumps between the 3 weights you offer too big and my perfect weight would be between your thinnest and middle one. I suggest to mimic the 5 pen weights Apple offers in the IOS Notes pen integration.

  7. I have used many of the Goodnotes counterparts that are available in Microsoft store, which includes Inkodo, Scrble, Samsung voice notes with pen, Nebo, OneNote which the total cost was approximately 25USD. In the end, I concluded that none of these can ever become a rival of Goodnotes in IOS, due to their occasional crashes, unbearably slow speed, incompatibility with pdf, minor bugs, which just increases my stress level. I really would like to see Goodnotes for windows 10, no matter what the cost is.

  8. I always work with several tabs at the same time. A new document appears at the last position on the right site. Before the split screen option - which is really great - it was easy to move a tab. With the split screen option it is difficult to move tabs without opening them in a separate window.
    At the same time it would be great if there would be something like a back to option in the folder view which allows to go back to the tabs without opening a document. Thanks!

  9. Feature to denote a particular "to do" which will automatically sync with apple reminders across devices. This way, it rounds up all of the "to do" tasks in one spot and brings to your phone/other devices

  12. I'm sorry to use this forum incorrectly. I'm not here to contribute idea, but rather seeking help. The zendesk on your website doesn't help to solve the issue.
    I have the GoodNotes 5 on my IpadPro and recently I downloaded the same apps on my iphone 11. During the syncing, there is a pop-up message to urge me to update the GoodNotes 5 on my IpadPro or it is unable to sync. Both apps were updated and I restarted both devices. But the problem persist. I need some help but do not know where to get it... Hope to hear…

  13. I would like to be able to add a boarder stroke on inserted photos so that will show up better on blank pages. Also the ability to change the size of the stroke, as in wider or slimmer.

  14. There are many PDF files whose page sizes are not A4 or A3-This kind of the standard size. This causes a problem when importing PDF, which is that the pages added to the document are not the same size as the PDF pages imported. Therefore, I think the imported document should be zoomed when it is displayed. For example, when the page is turned vertically, all the pages should be displayed in the same width, and the standard size of the page should be selected when exporting Pdf.

  15. You can add small pages to the left and right sides of a note page, or just comments, so it's extremely convenient to flip through notes later, as well as PDF revisions. Summary: goodnote page restrictions are very serious
    可以给某个笔记页面的左右侧添加小页面,或者批注就好了,这样的话,后期来翻阅笔记,以及PDF的修订等,都变得极其方便。
    总结:goodnote页面限制非常严重

  17. I know for long people have requested for a voice recording facility in GoodNotes. I would like to see the possibility to import recordings through the voice memo app from Apple and also the ability to import screen recordings or videos

  18. I am a physician. I use GoodNotes (for iPad) to send requisitions to my secretary, as well as radiology and laboratories.

    If I am writing a prescription for a radiology test that I will always send to the same radiology clinic, it makes sense that I can define a default recipient for that particular form.

    It would simplify the workflow, just fill out the form and hit HotShare (you are free to use the term .... no copyrights on that .... (<end joke>).

    As it stands I have to fill the form, hit print, select print all pages, then pinch-zoom…

  19. it ist great that now it is possible to backup our files with for example google drive/one drive.

    But it were much better if we could sync the Backup folder with goodnotes.
    Thus we get much easier and faster import from the computer
