  1. Goodnotes has available in its pop-up store: "Hexagonal Grid: Draft Papers" which features a hexagonal grid. However, because line snapping only works at 45° angles, there is no useful line snapping for this grid, which makes is somewhat useless as a template. It would be great (and I imagine very easy to implement) if there was a toggle in settings to access 30° line snapping.

  2. I would appreciate to have a Notebook-Counter in order to see, how many notebooks I have (in a specific folder or subfolder) and to identify/detect empty or overfilled folders or subfolders.

    After the name/title of each folder or subfolder should be in parentheses the number of (sub)folders and the number of notebooks they contain. (See figure.)

  4. And let it be on top, bottom, left or right. As in Notability, Noteful, ZoomNotes, Flexcil, Drawboard Pdf, and almost every note taking app.

  5. Its a pain to move pages by dragging them if you have 500+ pages. Can we get a way to move multiple pages at one time in a single journal?

  6. Hallo Goodnotes,

    Könnten Sie die App erweitern mit einem Scanner welcher Bilder und handgeschriebene engescannte PDF nach Texte scannt, sodass sie beim Durchsuchen der Aufschriebe/Notizen gefunden werden. Hierfür wäre ein gezieltes Durchsuchen von einem ausgewählten Ordner am besten.

    Außerdem können Sie die noch eine Erweiterung mit einem Zirkel machen, da wenn man mit den bisherigen Kreisen arbeiten möchte für den Zuschauer nicht ganz klar ist wie groß der Radius und wo die Einstichstelle bzw. welche Drehrichtung verwendet wird.

    Freundliche Grüße
    Tobias

    Hello Goodnotes,

    Could you extend the app with a scanner that scans images and handwritten PDFs for text so…

  7. There is a free hand highlighter tool, but it makes highlighting multiple lines of text tedious because it requires dragging across each line of text in a paragraph.

    However it is currently possible to press and select text and then tap on the "highlight" option in the menu that appears. However, this requires using a finger and is not possible with a stylus. It also requires multiple steps to accomplish.

    A better solution (and one that other apps have) is to have a separate tool that the user can use to only highlight text. Ideally, the user would be able…

  8. If you notice, the sticker expansion and edit ‘square’ is a lot bigger than the sticker itself. It does allow you to write right below the sticker, but if you try to ‘lasso’ the text, it ends up selecting the sticker too.

    I hope the screenshot can help.

  9. For students or person(s) in STEM programs, adding the ability to use math and chemistry symbols is needed. Notability came out with the features that support subscripts, superscripts, and other text inputs that help with this.

  11. I would love to be able to write or add text on the folders icon, or have different patterns or colours. This would be helpful to quickly and easily distinguish folders from each other

  12. Add Restore Page to the top right (...) menu (rather than requiring that we go back to the trash bin to restore (to make it quicker and easier to restore if the wrong page is deleted inadvertently).

  13. This will help those of us who can't draw a straight line. The function would work by tapping two points, then everything would be highlighted in between and would default to a straight line in a horizontal, or vertical manner.

  14. With the recent update, a pop-up window started to appear whenever I drag my GoodNote note to add a page. This new change is extremely uncomfortable whenever I am in a rush to write down professors' comments. Please remove this feature ASAP.

  15. There is a glitch when I am using my IPad air and writing notes. White blocks appear covering the content when I am zooming into the notes. I didn't pay good money to get these weird glitches.

  16. Auf unseren Lehrer iPads steht uns die iCloud wegen Einschränkungen leider nicht zur Verfügung. Es wäre super, wenn man auch über andere Cloud Dienste synchronisieren könnte.

  17. The number of grid spaces vertically (# of columns) should be a mutiple of 6 (or 12 would be even better). That way we can use it to divide our notes into however many columns as we see fit!

  18. I think that overall, good notes is excellent. However, I tend to have difficulties in accessibility between my devices and when trying to type on one device and write on the other. Sometimes my laptop won't even let me type and I will have to completely shut down the app and start it up again, losing my progress at times. It is incredibly frustrating and I wish it could be easier to use when I want to switch from handwriting to text. Also, bullet points!

  19. A toggle setting for handwriting to be automatically aligned (moved to be written in a straight line) and letter height adjustment so they appear more even.
