  2. The new version added the page turn animation, but doesn't give the experience of reading ePub on iBooks.

    The animation looks very amateur, and quite annoying when trying to go back and forth for references. Hope add an option to disable this feature, just like what other apps do.

  6. Would like to have more options regarding math figures.

    LectureNotes does this very good (see attached image)

    You can create and adjust coordinate systems, grids, dotted patterns, arrows, dotted lines and tables.

  7. Handwriting recognition Updates:

    Handwriting Recognition Trainer --- I don't have the neatest writing (especially when i'm writing quickly) and a lot of the time words cannot be recognised. The already amazing Handwriting recognition could be improved and more accessible to everyone if you add a function that will allow you to train GoodNote's Handwriting Recognition to pickup your own handwriting.
    (e.g. This could be an optional trainer where you write a page of words and you can make recognition corrections that are remembered [similar to abbyy fine reader], OR an on the fly correction option)

  8. The writing produced in goodnotes is too choppy and not as smooth as the writing produced in the Noteshelf app. Apart from how good your handwriting is, the resulting curves in each handwriting looks more realistic. Please improve the writings produced in GoodNotes so it results in smoother curves and handwriting.

  10. Add an option to change the paper template throughout the whole notebook, so that in the end every page will have the same background with one simple tap.

  11. Please allow for more options when spacing the distance between paragraph lines. Right now, the lines are spaced at a "double-space" distance.

    a) browse my Mendeley.com library

    c) store the edited PDF on Mendeley again

  13. The handwriting conversion is excellent, but it could do with a couple changes. Having to lasso the text on each page is tedious. Please enable the ability to convert a single page or an entire notebook with a single click. Also give the option to maintain or ignore single end of line breaks. Maintain double line breaks to keep paragraphs.

  15. I would like to know if you could add a function to scan the photos that we take like enhancing the image and cropping automatically (detecting the borders), it would be very useful. I use this app to take notes on the slides provided by the professors during the lectures, however sometimes they change some slide and I usually take a photo of the screen and I import it to my file but the quality is not the same if I use an app that scan images.

  17. Hi guys. I love this app, But GoodNotes does not support the Portuguese language. Please fix this. Portuguese and Brazilian users would appreciate this care. Please! With the excellent Handwriting Recognition, it is very important.

  19. There is a maximum magnification with the zoom window - please remove the limitation to simply allow to write as small as the user wants

    Remove the fixed proportion of the zoom window because it fixes the line height when performing carriage return

    Alternatively use auto advance functionality in regular zoom mode (not the window). Then you don't need the zoom window any more

  20. Loading A4 sized scanned pdf with 300dpi takes between 1 and 5 seconds per each page for iPad Retina when continuously viewing next pages, which is very slow. And it shows a blank page until it fully loads a page.

    In contrast, Note-shelf shows low resolution page first then load full resolution image later. This is very convenient when searching for a specific page while scrolling to next pages. Goodreader precaches adjacent pages in advance, therefore there loading speed is very fast.

    It would be nice if Goodnotes improve pdf loading speed by loading low resolution image first or precaching…
