  1. I suggest to provide a setting where GoodNotes sync's only rarely.
    So, for instance, when I go back to the overview of all the notes I have in GoodNotes on my iPad, or when there is a longer time of inactivity in GoodNotes, or when I switch to a different app, then GN could do a sync.

    Right now, it synchronizes every 10 seconds or so, which drains the battery a lot. (All apps with heavy Wifi activity do that.) But I don't need to go back and forth between Mac and iPad while taking notes. I just occasionally bring…

  2. Having a hexagonal would make chemistry note taking so much easier. Especially in higher level chemistry since there are so many different compounds you have to learn.

  3. 大家都知道如果想关闭工具栏的弹窗只能直接在别的地方写。而对于想在弹窗处写字,不能在空白处(在空白处点击会留下墨迹,希望得到优化)或再次点击工具栏的图标来关闭。这样的操作真的非常反人类。

  4. Wenn ich beispielsweise einen Text auf einer linierten Vorlage per Tastatur eintippe, möchte ich, dass sich die Schriftgröße und der Zeilenabstand automatisch dieser Seitenvorlage anpasst. Ansonsten überlappen sich die Zeichen mit den Linien, wodurch es sehr unleserlich wird. Eine andere erdenkliche Lösung wäre, dass man den Hintergrund in 2 Teile unterteilen kann, um für den Textbereich einen freien Hintergrund zu haben.
    Mein Ziel ist es, per Hand- und per Tastatur geschriebene Texte auf einer Seite zu kombinieren und dabei alles gerade und leserlich zu behalten.
    Wie kann ich das lösen?
    Vielen Dank

  6. Creation and modification date please! Notability has the option to sort by creation date and modification date. Each note should have the two dates

  7. Often the auto-sync across device is slow and bad and I am forced to use the computer only because what I just typed on the Mac Goodnotes don't appear on the iPad version until a long while later. Should give a manual synchronisation option (like anki).

  8. I love GoodNotes. But a feature I’d like to see is one wherein the background and ink colors change when toggling between dark and light modes. The iOS notes apps does this, but it’s just a terrible note taking app. Maybe the option to toggle between date and light mode, with accommodating background and ink color inversions, could be an option within the app. Thanks.

  10. The motion when switching to another file, change page, or other things is very annoyed. The motion improve the beautifullness of the app, but I use this app for work and study, I think the motion is useless, time consuming, and make the app slower.
    I prefer instant change to another page and reduce all the motion
    It would be best if you put it as a option under setting.

  13. Please add text option to PDF. Microsoft One Note allows drawing and text typing. Please do the same for cleaner notes option which allows mobile users to also add emojis from keyboard!

  16. Hey! I know the app allow us to choose new colours and add them to a big pallete, but instead of thtat, it would be even great if we could create more than one pallete for different documents. Like this...

  17. A huge disadvantage that I find in GoodNotes that while i use the "Ruled Narrow" page template while using my iPad keyboard, the text isn't always matched with the lines in the page template.

    The best things will be if the application will automatically determine the size of the text so the user who uses keyboard will be able to write exactly between the lines in the page template.

    Obviously, while writing text the app should also support the auto counting as it is in all the other applications.(wether Microsoft Word or Notability)

    With the current situation in the app,…

  18. When taking a screenshot with the lasso tool, give the option to create an element directly, instead of having to save the image in the camera roll and then import it back.

  19. I will use different pen style when taking notes in class. I need to switch very quickly. But Goodnotes only can quick switch 3 colours which is not enough.
