  1. When i use good notes to add my own annotations in my professor's presentation slides, I would love to have an option to click through the pages instead of scrolling through them. It makes the reading faster and it's easier to navigate between the slides.

  2. A small bar that can be positioned around the edge of the screen. I use the Goodnotes app to take notes during Uni lectures and I find myself using the brush pen for titles and key info, and ball pen for the notes. When you have the app on half screen so that the powerpoint takes up one side you lose the access to the quick "one tap" colour selection.

    The ideal quick bar would be able to move to either sides of the document you are taking notes on. You would be able to had a set style and…

  4. Um ponto muito negativo desta app e que leva muitos usuários a não comprá-la é o facto de quando queremos colar imagens umas por cima de outras, teremos de pensar muito bem antes de o fazer, o que leva a perda de tempo. Por exemplo, se eu colocar uma imagem de um campo de futebol, depois colar várias imagens de jogadores por cima desta, se por ventura, quiser apenas mover 2 ou 3 jogadores simultâneamente a app não permite fazer, ou seja, ou tenho de mover um a um, ou se utilzar a ferramenta de seleção para selecionar os que…

  5. When I screenshot parts of a document and insert them at a different point, the ratio always changes and the screenshot is bigger/smaller than the original image/text passage I wanted to take a screenshot of.
    I have to resize the screenshots every time which takes time and both parts often don't end up being the exact same size.

  6. These idea already was written, and the status is "done". But in fact it isn't. Look how the highlighter is on dark paper when it is done and when it is selected or with apple pencil on it when you make it. You should review this idea and realise it already please.

  7. Hey GoodNotes Team,

    I‘m a teacher from Germany and love & use GoodNotes5 for preparing und presenting my lessons.
    The presantation mode is great, but I dream about a function, that would allow me to see the whole script, that my students on the external screen don‘t see. Like a thin layer, so I see points I shouldn‘t forget or where I must draw or write something, without using an extra piece of paper.

    Best Wishes
    Dustin

  8. You could select gallery and add your video/GIF. Then you’d be able to move it anywhere in the page and make it any size you want. You could also drag and drop GIF’s directly from other pages. And if possible, record short videos directly in GoodNotes.
    The videos and GIF’s would keep repeating in a loop while they are on the screen. It’d be good to be able to pause and resume them with a touch, and for there to be a option to have a timeline at the bottom of videos (so that you can scroll through) but you

  9. The toolbar and the bar above that shows the title of documents take a lot of space. It becomes a little frustrating especially when I’m writing in split screen, because it’s very thick and takes much more space than needed.
    It would be great if you could optimise the size of the bar and save some space to make the best writing experience.

  10. It would be probably easy to integrate a Funktion to give different folders different colors or even better the possibility to have a picture as the icon. Furthermore a pipette, which lets you easily sample and use a color used on whatever document or picture, would be really helpful.
    Thank you I’m advance!

  11. The flashcard feature is great but there are a few features that I would like to see:

    1.) Ability to switch the Q&A sections

    After a few weeks of using this feature, there are times when I would like to flip the Q and A section of the flashcards.

    2.) Convert any page into a flashcard

    I've created a PDF file (around 60 pages) to be turned into flashcards and was hoping to be able to import it and just convert it from there. This was not possible and I had to make a template for each page, set it…

  12. It should be possible to set a unique sync-path for your files or at least for the folders - so your syncfiles fit into your OneDrive-structure

  13. Because of me writing with my left hand, i have problems by writing at the edge of the paper when i zoom in a bit. A Mode where you can position your page a bit further to the right would be great !!

  14. I do not know why but every time I use a text box and type vs. using my apple pen to write. IT DELETES. All my notes are gone. It's very frustrating.
