  1. Sometimes we want to find a certain notes which we only remember on which day we write down it. But it’s hard to find out where it is in whole GoodNotes. So I think a edit records of where we edit everyday is important. It help us to index our notes more convenient

  2. On the i,port document dialog, add 3 radio-buttons:
    1. Open this document after import
    2. Open the folder where this document is imported to
    3. Nothing

    The global option is not convenient.

    Thanks for submitting your feedback. We’ll consider it for future updates. In the meantime, you can select the exact pages you want to export in the thumbnail view and deselect the “concept” pages.

  4. The order of the tools (pen, eraser, highlighter, lasso, etc.) is logical but impractical. Pens, erasers and highlighters are on the left, the colors and line widths are on the right. That means a "long" journey every time.
    I would find it better if the tools and options to do so that are used together are also close together.

    Die Reihenfolge der Werkzeuge (Stift, Radiergummi, Textmarker, Lasso usw.) ist zwar logisch aber unpraktisch. Stifte, Radiergummi und Textmarker sind auf der linken Seite, die Farben und die Linienstärke dazu sind auf der rechten Seite. Das bedeutet jedes mal einen "langen" weg. …

  5. There are two small improvements for UX.

    1. When a user exports some of his/her pages, he/she goes into the grid view, selects a few pages, presses "export" and share it, then presses "Done" and "Close" to continue working. It is worth noting that, "Done" is on the top right corner of the window, yet "Close" is on the top left, with "Select" on the right. That means, if he/she doesn't look carefully or press "Done" twice, he/she will again enter the selection mode, rather than quickly returning to work. (See video1). This could be confusing.
      I suggest rearranging the…

  7. Currently the HDMI output for presentation does not fill the screen - it leaves black bars around all sides, even if you import a 16x9 PDF. Outputting full screen would be a huge improvement, and offering a 16x9 default document size would make this an incredibly useful digital whiteboard.

  9. a template group can have a lot of templates, which can make it difficult to still have an organised overview. when putting templates into folders within a template group, it can make it easier to find and pick the desired template.

  11. The touch bar is a whole new feature that can be used with the app! I would love to use and customize my touch bar to highlight, edit text, change between read/edit mode!

  12. I would like to have the option to share a whole folder with team members. All of the members should have the possibility to work in all notes inside the folder and to add new notes to the folder.
    Also I would like to get notifications when someone changed or added things inside the shared folder/note. So that I can directly jump in and see the changes. It feels quite cumbersome that someone has to contact me outside the system to tell me that he worked inside the notes/added notes etc.

  13. 你们好,good notes的开发者们。首先非常感谢你们开发出了这个笔记app,我已经使用了三年,并且非常喜爱。但是最近遇到的一个问题是,iCloud多客户端同步这个功能会自动同步所有的文档,这占用了我的iPhone很多内存空间。所以我建议,可否让多客户端同步的文档变得可以由用户自己选择呢?而不是自动在所有的客户端上同步所有的笔记文档。
    期待你们的回复:)

  15. The grey on grey is very hard to read for the unopen tabs. I can see the text very clearly on the open tab, not so much on the others.

  16. It would be great if you could take notes on resubmission. This would allow you to create a quick note and schedule it for a different date and time for processing. Such functions (e.g. reminder functions) are available in apps that manage documents and since notes are created here, it is similar to managing a document. In my opinion, it would be a great function.

  17. running good notes on my private AppleID (=iCloud) and using it on my business Mac, too is today not possible. I'd even open to buy it twice, but I habe only 1 mobile device - so basically though I love good notes, I can't use it anymore.

    Solution:
    Allow to accept shared documents also from Mac App. This way I can still use it on my iPad and iPhone and notes I neet @work could simply be shared with my business AppleID.

    This would provide a solution for many other feature requests such as

  18. Currently if we choose vertical or horizontal scrolling it applies to all the documents, it would be good if we can choose to apply it to all documents or just the current document. For eg, I prefer vertical scrolling for my worksheets/slides from school and horizontal scrolling for my own notes (so it's really like a notebook).

  19. Flash cards are too small. On the iPhone, I can barely see the print/diagram and in landscape mode it's nearly impossible. On the iPad, they're large enough that I can make out the diagram.

    The flash card is not taking advantage of the full width of the screen in study mode. It's using the bottom half of the screen to display the answer instead of flipping the card.

    I attached a PDF showing the screens for both the iPhone and iPad. I, also, took screenshots of another flashcard app to compare and contrast.

  20. It is very troublesome for me to change my typeface,colour and text size。So I think it is necessary to set three buttons and I can set different text configuration and change it when I press these buttons。
