  1. Wir brauchen eine Funktion mit der wir mehrere Bilder auf einmal hinzufügen können. Es dauert ewig wenn z.B. 20 Bilder zugefügt werden müssen.

  2. PDFs should export as "Editable" by default. Its bad design to have "flattened" as the default. The flatten action is destructive.

  3. Changing the color to green or yellow, will make pdf reading more friendly to eyes.

    Many people using goodnotes to read pdfs will stare at the screen for a long time, but now the white color is a bit harsh and tire eyes.

    Another app PDF Expert is just well-known for its protecting yellow color. Hope goodnotes will add the function.

  4. It would be awesome to have a RSVP reader that allowed selecting sections of text to speed-read! For example like https://www.spritz.com/

  7. Hello!

    I absolutely love your app, it has completely changed the way I take notes and I love it!

    I do have honest suggestions that would greatly improve this application from the student's perspective.

    1. Toolbar Customizability; The ability to add more than one tools that you often use into the toolbar by dragging and dropping. For example, I really wish I could add more than 3 colours on the main toolbar. I switch between a lot of colours, and it is quite a pain to go into each individual tool section and choose it. Why not drag and drop your…

  8. Ladies and Gentlemen,

    an idea:

    • it would be very practical and helpful for students and teachers if the folder structure were structured like a kind of TAB structure (similar to the pages in GoodNotes)

    • so one would have a better overview

    See photo in appendix.

    Yours sincerely

  10. nice to meet.

    I am using Good Note very well. There is a bug in ScrollView that works when converting fonts on iPhone X.
    Please refer to the video.

    Please contact us once it is confirmed.

  12. I’d like to have a bar containing my pens where I can customised the colours, type, thickness so that I don’t always have to go back and forth to change the properties. This would indeed increase my productivity while writing a colourful note

  16. Now iPadOS has very rudimentary mouse support through the AssistiveTough feature. Perhaps it would be nice to make use of this? Currently, in the presentation mode the mouse cursor is hidden, along with other interface elements.

    While GoodNotes 5 already has a very nice laser pointer feature, this still requires you to be near the iPad. On the other hand, when doing a presentation, the ability to move away from the podium would be very nice.

    I happen to have the Logitech Spotlight presenter, and it can actually move the mouse cursor, when paired with my iPad Pro. So, it…

  19. When reading an article or reviewing a professor’s lecture slides (they always upload it as a PDF instead of a PPT format so I can’t edit the way it is exported). GoodNotes often fills the whole page with the PDF. It makes it great for reading, however, there isn’t much space to annotate. I usually get around this by zooming out but GoodNotes is a bit more rigid when it comes to that. Other than that it is a great app!
