  1. Hallo, mir würde ein Feature welches den geschriebenen Text ausspricht sehr gefallen (wie beim Google Übersetzer). Dadurch könnte ich mein Lernen sehr viel verbessern in dem ich es vorgelesen bekomme.

    Wäre es möglich dieses Feature in Zukunft einzubauen?

  2. 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

  4. I appreciate that GoodNotes is constantly syncing to my iCloud account and that feature works great. However, on my MacBook Pro, it is frustrating when the program opens on my screen and interrupts my current activities. Is there a way to have the background sync on the Mac function as it does, while keeping the program minimized in the background? Thx

  5. Just saw your experimental feature of learning with flashcards. What I would wish as an improvement is having the flashcard page (Question/Answer) on the right side of an page, when creating it. Moreover I want it not to appear underneath the scroll direction reading through my normal script. I want to see it maybe indicating that it exist by seeing a small border of it on the right side. Check my sketch in the attachment.

  6. Tapping on an already imported image and being able to replace it with another one, without having to import a new one, with messed up size and not arranged like the one we’d like to update/change.

  7. On IPad Pro, sometime the selection made with the pencil can be deleted using the Delete key on the Magic Keyboard, some other times it won’t work for no reason. Would be nice to make it work all the time.

  8. I am a mechanical engineering student and I need to write many large matrices in my notes and calculations daily. At least half of my class of 100 use ipads for notes and problem sets and I have heard the same idea from many people.

    It would be incredibly useful if you added the large matrix bracket to the shapes that the shape tool recognizes. I mean "[" and "]" but with the ability to draw them as large as needed with straight lines.

    This feature would be a game changer for many engineering, math, and science disciplines and I…

  10. Just by a slight movement, the line won’t be straight when I highlight some words in a text. Please make it possible to add a feature where we can select just do have completely straight highlighting lines or freestyle highlighting.

  11. It would be so helpful if the app actually recognized pictures and texts automatically, so that we can shift things easily, change the color or size of a text or edit the text in general ( as I want to summarize some texts in my lectures often into sharp and short statements). Also the recognition of photos and direct cutting, swirling, positioning somewhere else...

    ALSO SHARPER HIGHLIGHTERS which just go STRAIGHT AND AUTOMATICALLY RECOGNIZE THE END OF THE WORD. So many times I need to re-highlight, so that the full word is actually highlighted in an organized manner.

  12. The option inside the eraser itself is good, although it could be better if the eraser does not delete many pixel when it touch one pixel of pen.

  14. As medical students, we get a lot of different files to annotate and study. Goodnotes is an awesome app and without it, I couldn't stay organized.

    However, I have noticed two big flaws, and fixing them would greatly grow user satisfaction.

    1st:
    It would be good to get an option for Goodnotes to Mac's share button like in iPadOS. It would be a quicker way to add content to Good note without dragging and importing separate documents.

    2nd:
    It would be awesome to be able to import .pdf files as well as Powerpoint and .docx files to document with and…

  18. I'd like a Zoom-In feature on the MacOS app, so I can use 3rd party stylus pads (like Wacom) with the laptop for note taking.

  20. Hello! With the addition of the new gestures (double tap with 2 fingers to undo, double tap with 3 fingers to redo), I keep accidentally activating the "undo" gesture when my hand is just resting on the screen while I'm writing, which is frustrating when I'm trying to keep up with quick notetaking. Is there any way to add an option to disable the tap gestures? Thank you so much!

    (For reference I have an iPad 6th with Apple Pencil 1st Gen)
