  1. As usage of goodnotes increases the sync size also increases and on devices with limited space I end up needing to turn off icloud sync

    It would be helpful to allow, per-configuration options, the ability to sync specific or all folders.

    It would still be useful to sync metadata about all folders for searching, but not necessarily required

  2. Goodnotes should have an option to automatically remove these unnecessary file name artifacts instead of manually having to remove them on import.

  3. I've been pretty satisfied with goodnote. I came up with some suggestions that might help making this even a better notebook app. Would love it if the next update tackles one or more of them!!!

    It would be better if:
    1. The edge of the highlighter can be chosen between rectangular and round (currently, round edge is the only option)
    2. When altering the size of an image, one of the nodes are anchored to the original position.
    3. The transparency of an image is adjustable.
    4. Have layers so that the order of the images from back to front…

  4. When using the up and down keys on the magic keyboard for the iPad Pro, scrolling in Good Notes 5 has no smooth animation, but harsh stops. In Safari the scrolling animation is really smooth, and gives a more convenient experience when reading long documents.

  6. Çok sayfadan oluşan dokümanlar için çerçeveler özelliğini kullanıyoruz. Ancak çerçeveler ile bir sayfaya gittikten sonra, tekrar başka bir sayfaya gitmek için çerçeveler sekmesini açtığımızda, çerçeveler in en başı çıkıyor ve tekrar aşağı inmek zorunda kalıyoruz. Mesela cevap anahtarı olan bir soru bankasında soru çözerken, soru sayfası ile sondaki cevap anahtarı arasında git gel yapmak zorlaşıyor. Bence çerçeveler sayfası açıldığında kullanılan sayfa en ortada olacak şekilde açılmalı. En baş sayfa en üstte olmamalı.

  8. sorry I do not speak english very welll.
    my suggestion is a magic wand tool when cutting out the background of the image. I know you have the free hand option but it is limited and still leaves traces of the background of the image.

  9. i use goodnotes to write all my class notes. even though it performs really well its very sad that its has only a handful of fonts of which most of them are creepy.
    so i used custom fonts to get the job done. but after ipados 14 apple limited font access by system fonts only. as a result even after installing custom profiles i am not able to see the installed fonts. many other apps like procreate can still use installed fonts..the new goodnotes in ipados 14 fails to do so which frustrates me a lot. kindly update the app…

  10. When adding a new document (PDF) to Goodnotes, it would great to check if the document is not already in the library (Apple Books does that already).

  11. The highlighter goes over the text changing the color and overall visibility of the words that we write. Please make it go under the text so that doesn't happen

  12. Just dragging the pencil over the txt should select and allow drag and drop

    Copy , cut and paste - the Text must be from the PDF and not what’s added by goodnotes

  13. E.g Automatically switch black to white pen color when opening a black (template) document
    Or have a different pen color palette for black template document (instead of a global constant)

  14. Goodnotes uses two rows of tools, which is takes up too much screen real estate, especially in landscape mode. This means I cannot use Goodnotes for teaching, which is what I got it for. (It's a shame, because Goodnotes is otherwise well suited for teaching.) It would be great if you could compact to a single row of tools (or even zero), to get more writing area.

  15. The ability to toggle on and off dark mode and have the paper and ink colors change accordingly.

    Selecting dark paper and white ink looks great but is NOT 'dark mode'. When you go to print something created way you either waste a LOT of ink or you have to manually switch paper and ink color on each page.

    For reference - Onenote does dark mode perfectly.

  17. besides Mac ecosystem IF and WHEN someone needs to search and extract or share contents from Goodnote in front of a computer it'd be perfect if there's a web portal or web app allowing one to get access to those and work on a PC or Mac machine as well.
