  1. I would love for the App to support full presentation mode for Powerpoint slides with all the animations and transitions

    with the ongoing pandemic, online classes are quite common now and teaching online requires an excellent app that can be used to stream to students.

    it would so awesome to combine the annotation capabilities of good notes and combine that with Microsoft powerpoint for awesome presentations to students.

  2. When you create a folder and make multiple notebooks inside it, they can only be reorganized by certain categories. We should be able to move them freely and organize them how we want.

  3. The text should write perfectly on the notebook lines, no more awkward spacing. The angle of the text should be allowed to be manipulated as well. There have been times where I have wanted to put my text vertically or at an angle.

  4. Imagine you already wrote 5 different combinations on the same page. Color, thickness, pen style.

    I'm thinking of a "picker" button on the left edge which I can press & hold with my finger. (enabling picker mode until I lift my finger)

    When I tap the pen on the document, a zoomed hover-view shows up, I drag onto the pen stroke I want to reuse & lift off both my pen and finger.

    Simple & useful.

    But now when I want to write a title after a black simple text, I have to click red color, increase the thickness, change…

  5. This was a feature in Good Notes 4, but I could not find it in Good Notes 5.
    https://feedback.goodnotes.com/forums/191274-customer-suggestions-for-goodnotes/suggestions/4115825--last-viewed-page-button has it marked as completed, so I felt the new comments may not be noticed. I'm posting a new thread for it.

    Thanks.

  6. I use this to take notes ehile inspecting houses. I take 50-60 or more during an inspection. While I can save each one individually (one at a time) to camera roll it would be awesome if that could happen automatically.

  7. When you are operating with Black paper and writing in white ink, the application should reverse the colors when printing (if you want to). I run dark mode to make it easier on my eyes. When I go to print I do not think we want to print all black ink over the entire page.

  9. It's not currently possible to go back to the document view without opening a document from the library. Maybe, we can hace a button for it.

  10. Due to the double two finger tap to undo feature, my work constantly gets undone accidentally by gestures such as laying my palm on the screen.
    I often realise this after I have continued my work so I can no longer redo the lost work.
    Redo with 3 finger double tap does not work AT ALL and usually prompts the confusing actions selection bar (what just happened?) or another undo.
    I understand some users make use of this feature while some experience the same issues so please let users switch shortcut on/off

  11. On the Mac, make the app remember the last window size. It always open too small on a 1920x1080 screen.

  12. I would like to be able to select tools using the keyboard but in a more advanced way. At the moment we can only select for example the pen or the eraser, it will be interesting to be able to select for example the predefined colors of the pen thanks to keyboard shortcuts.

  13. In all other versions of Goodnotes I could import a google doc or google slide directly. Please bring this back. Almost all teachers need this functionality and it will turn us away from the app. I am really disappointed that after updating the app version this functionality has been lost.

  14. Goodnotes 4 had a feature whereby one could "go back" to the last page one had viewed in the document. This feature is not available in Goodnotes 5. I request that this feature be added to Goodnotes 5.

  15. I cannot search for a single digit number. I have a book imported to goodnotes, but when I search for "3" it says that there is nothing, but obviously there is a page three

  17. Allow embedding of scanned documents within the page - like we can do with images.

    Sometimes we need to scan a paragraph of text and embed it within the notes. Taking a picture and embedding that instead doesn’t work because the text in the picture is not searchable.

  18. 使用GoodNotes记笔记半年多,其书写的流畅度是出类拔萃的,只是还有些许功能需要改进,在此提出我的建议,希望开发者可以认真考虑:
    1、绘图功能有待完善。GoodNotes采用手写识别的绘图方式,这种方式绘图确实较为自由,但是失之精确。我在画一些物理示意图时经常涉及到圆、矩形、坐标系等图像,用手写识别的方式绘制相当费劲,建议增加一些相关图像的预设,可以直接拖入图像调整参数,方便精确绘制。(可以参考微软Office系列插入图像的操作逻辑)
    2、目录导航功能有待完善。现在的Goodnotes目录没有页码输入的功能,想找几百页的东西只能老老实实往后划,较为费力,建议增加页码跳转的功能。
    3、文本输入格式有待完善。文本输入时只能设置一些基本格式,另一些对排版具有较大影响的格式如字间距、行间距等并没有办法设置。建议增加文本框的设置内容已满足基本的排版需要。
    4、模板预设有待完善。Goodnotes提供了相当丰富的背景模版,很大程度上满足了我的需要,但是我想要使用一些个性化的背景模版时需要自己进行绘制,这有一定的技术门槛。建议增加“智能模版”,即可以在现有模版的基础上进行个性化的设置,比如改变格线的数量、间距、分栏等等,方便用户自行设计合适的模板。

  19. Sometimes I'm forced to use PDF Expert when annotating PDFs, because I can get a summary of the annotations. Hope you can add to GoodNotes, then I'll be able to use it all the time.

  20. Al igual que estan personalizados los documentos con muchas portadas o pudiendo poner nosotros las fotos que queramos, sería estupendo poder hacerlo tambien con las capetas.
