  3. On iOS devices, the template chooser takes up most of the screen. On Mac, it's a tiny little modal dialog box that screams "Mac Catalyst afterthought".

    And across iPhone/iPad/Mac, the thumbnails previews for each template are so faint that they all look like uniform white/yellow/black rectangles. They're only really discernible on iPad, but barely at that.

    It's a minor nag for me, but objectively, it's careless user-hostility for those with vision impairments. I'd be a lot more incensed about this if I had the vision of my future middle-aged self.

  5. Ich würde es super finden, wenn man das aktuelle Datum einfügen könnte, ohne es jedes Mal schreiben zu müssen. Klar kann ich es auch kopieren und dann immer einfügen, aber eine Einfügen wäre dann doch einfacher.

  6. I take notes with diff colour and diff size of pen so every time,I have to select size and colour if you provide more than one pen feature then it is easy to choose pen which is customised on my preference of size and colour. After that i have to choose only pen instead of choosing size and colour every time like notability. Please add that feature.

  7. I tried using the study set and seems like a great tool for studying but the animations are quite bugging me.

    It would be great if there was an option to choose activate/deactivating the animation. Or selecting the animation speed would be fine too.

    The animation looks cool, smooth and all but it's just unnecessary for studying.
    It just lenghtens the time to cover the material and just hinders the experience.
    Think it would also benefit users with laggy older generation devices.

  8. We have been using a web app with zero functionality for almost 2 years now. Did you guys abandon us? We paid for this and still do. Why can't we have the real goodnotes? It's literally the goodnotes from wish .com right now. No stickers. No goodnotes files, different ui, everything is horrible. It can't even handle importing a .pdf without zooming weird. Why do you do this to us. It's so sad.

  10. It usually crashes when I use it. It just doesn't work for creating new notes, it is good for only viewing. However, need to improve the customer experience like an increasable font for larger scale monitors or just 16 inches MBP. BTW the CPU and Memory usage when I use the laptop version is crazily high, hope u guys may improved it! Many Thanks!

  12. When adding a link to a page, the dialog box has the field called "Page" and it shows thumbnail for all pages to select from. It would be so nice to have "Page Outlines" option in there.

  13. THE NEWEST TYEPE COMMENT is so hard to use! It cannot see whole things, is stable over there, and cannot scroll down, or close it. This is type 6.3.38, I like 6.3.36 please let this type back!!

    I hope the comment can be scrolled down smoothly and can add notes on it.

  14. Hello,
    Sorry for using the feature request to report a BUG. Unfortunately I have not found an option for a BUG report.

    I use Goodnotes for measurements on site. Goodnotes runs on the iPad with the latest padOS. I use a Leica Disto X4 for the measurements. The Disto is connected to the iPad via Bluetooth.

    BUG:
    I have activated the pen (or another tool) and measure with the Disto.
    Every time after the measurement Goodnotes changes the tool to "Newest" (the tool with the star icon).
    and you have to switch back to the previous tool every time after…

  15. Hi Goodnotes-Team,
    as an architect, I often use Goodnotes on the building site to take measurements on the spot. I have to take a relatively large number of photos for this. It would be extremely useful to be able to take several photos at the same time and not have to start the process again after each photo.
    Best regards Tobi

  16. GN works well on iphone/ipad. However, it is poorly optimized for Macbook (where many of us use it). Needed improvements: decrease memory use and battery drain, set standard window size, fix glitches leading to freezing and need to exit and restart.

  17. Being able to instantly make flashcards of your college slides. To be able to automatically have each slides as an answer, and only having to come up with a question relevant to the slide. Now I have to spend hours placing my college slides in the answer bar of the flashcards.

  18. Guten Tag
    Es wäre super, wenn es Vorlagen für Lernsets gäbe (z.B. kariert oder liniert)

    Zudem wäre es einen grossen Mehrwert, wenn die Lernsets wieder als pdf exportierbar wären.
    So sind die Karteikarten an die App gebunden und es ist kaum möglich diese offline zu repetieren, was sehr schade ist.
    Bei der Version 5 gab es diese Option!

  19. Please allow links to use with other apps. I love that it works with websites and other documents. But other apps also would be wonderful

  20. When using links and it comes to selecting page - we should be able to type in the page number instead of scrolling thru the whole document to select page.
