  2. Also, wenn man so ne neue Seite hinzufügen will, muss man immer das Format einstellen, das man haben will, wenn die Seite vorher nen anderes Format hatte. Also die Idee ist dann, dass man sich nen Format oder mehrere abspeichern kann und die dann auswählen kann, wenn man ne neue Seite hinzufügt. Liebe Grüße 😘

  3. Sometimes when you are doing past papers for exams or any work you may not have finished it or you want to come back to it.

    Maybe they could add like a little status icon (colours, or maybe icons) next to the documents title to indicate its status (done, not done, in progress) or maybe have it in another tab (status tab where you can see all your documents and its status and you can also change its status there?)

  4. When I search for a word in my Preview app, it shows every occurrence in the document. However, in GoodNotes, the same word is sometimes missed, even though the file is an OCR-enabled PDF. It would be great if the search feature in GoodNotes could be improved to match the accuracy and reliability of other apps.

  5. I'd love if this was added, Apple notes has this feature and it has made me consider switching over. It's so much easier than using text boxes to have nicer writing in your notes. I also like that it still looks like my handwriting, just nicer, not a font. I enjoy reading my notes in my own handwriting instead of fonts because it's less like I'm reading a long essay.

  6. I used to be able to open two goodnotes apps at once, but that feature has disappeared over the summer. Every time I try to open two, it just reloads the first. This is very frustrating as I take all my notes on goodnotes, so when I try to make study notes I have to download all my notes and open them up separately. Additionally, I've noticed that my Windows Surface Pen isn't working as well on the app. Text will be delayed (and curves will appear smaller or letters will turn out jargon). My erase feature (from the back…

  7. Command + Up key (Cmd + ↑) should bring the user to the top of the screen and Command + Down key (Cmd + ↓) to the bottom.

  8. The app is nice, but worst of all, there's no visible backup option, as confirmed by other users. I hope they fix the issue of not being able to back up or control it soon, otherwise I'll have to change the app. I'm using it on a Samsung TAB S9. It also lacks Polish language support. I'll change my rating if they add the backup option.

  9. I really enjoy using Goodnotes.
    Currently, when handwriting is converted to text, the placement and size often do not align correctly with PDF templates, requiring manual adjustment.
    If you could add an auto-adjust feature—similar to PDF forms—that automatically fits text size and position to the lines, it would greatly improve usability.

  11. For each of my classes I like making a 'Lecture' and 'Practice' notebooks, however when I have multiple open I can't tell which lecture Notebook is for which class without clicking on them.

    In order to remedy this I think it would be a good idea for GoodNotes to display the folder name the notebook is in when there's multiple notebooks with the same name opened.

    For example:

    Instead of:

    Lecture | Lecture | Practice

    It would say:

    Lecture - /STA256 | Lecture - /MAT232 | Practice

  16. I feel limited when I type my notes rather than write them in Goodnotes. If I am typing with keyboard and not using a textbox I can't change the font and I can't choose my text size. But if I choose to use a text box I can't get the text to line up with the lines of my paper. I just want everything to be uniform throughout my notebook

  18. Some cards can be transferred to other sets. A card in flashcard set A should be able to be MOVED to flashcard set B in the same folder or into a different folder for another subject. Currently, I have been copying and pasting cards into another flash card set which is too time consuming. Please allow us to move flashcards wherever.

  19. Add a visible big scroll button, which we can customize in settings as when you want to read big pdf files over 100 pages and you need to just glance over it then it is a very useful tool.
    Currently it just vanishes and also the scroll button is not visible against dark background i hope you can fix all these issues .
    Thank You

  20. I'm a user of goodnote6 in ipad pro12.9(2022).
    I ran into a bug that I can't use color selection with 1/2 split view since I reset my ipad for other reason.
