  2. When you take a photo with Goodnotes, the photo is imported directly into GoodNotes. The image data is compressed in the process.
    If you want to export the photos from GoodNotes afterwards, then
    you will unfortunately only receive the compressed photo data.
    The original quality of the photos is unfortunately lost.
    It would be good if the photos were also saved as original files in the iOS or PadOS library in addition to being imported into GoodNotes.
    This would give you both the compressed photos in GoodNotes AND the original photo data.
    Often you need both data!
    Greetings Tobi

  3. Let us expand the usefulness of the comment feature, I would like to write a mind map for each page and then hide it like the comments, the comment and sticky notes that you have provided for us could be more useful if we can write and draw on that using the Ipad pencil. Like making mind maps. The “linking page” feature is almost the same as what i need, but still a hidden mind map would be the most helpful.

  4. A way to organize the elements library would be very useful, sometimes I download loads of stickers at once but then i can’t change the “folder” they’re in

  5. I tried using the study set and seems like a great tool for studying but the animations are quite bugging me.

    It would be great if there was an option to choose activate/deactivating the animation. Or selecting the animation speed would be fine too.

    The animation looks cool, smooth and all but it's just unnecessary for studying.
    It just lenghtens the time to cover the material and just hinders the experience.
    Think it would also benefit users with laggy older generation devices.

  6. When adding a link to a page, the dialog box has the field called "Page" and it shows thumbnail for all pages to select from. It would be so nice to have "Page Outlines" option in there.

  7. Assuming I have the video content already on my device allow me to embed a video frame in the GoodNotes page in the middle of the other page content. If it’s super complicated to do the same with external video sources then limit it to device content only for now. This would be a big improvement.

  9. In other apps, you can upload an image (of a whiteboard with text on it, for example), and convert the text to ink on your screen. It allows editing the text (instead of just placing the original image in your notebook). This can help me a lot!!!

  10. When importing a document to Goodnotes, besides “import to current” and “import to a new document”, also add the ability to “import to existing document” and browse to the document and page where you want to insert. This would be more convenient than having to open the document/page you want before importing. That interrupts my work flow. Thank you.

  11. I heard about Goodnotes from Samuel Suresh, and one of the things that impressed me was the ability to quickly create digital designs that combine handwriting and solid backgrounds that would be much more difficult by hand. Here is an example video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mHPO69egAcA. Thing is, Goodnotes has abysmal shape support. Every application I’ve ever used that has shape support you can change the fill and usually stroke color. Not Goodnotes.

    To the GoodNotes Team: Is improved shape support on the future roadmap? Take Freeform: You can quickly add zillions of shapes which are fully customizable. You don’t need to…

  13. With the new squeeze function on Apple Pencil Pro, and how it brings up the new menu (Palette), it would be super cool to have this menu show up if you hold an older Apple Pencil down for a couple seconds. (Element note has this feature as well) but it would be super awesome to have for faster tool switching for people that aren’t on the newest iPads.

    TLDR bring the new squeeze menu to the rest of the pencils by holding down on the screen without moving your pen.

  15. Dear Developers and Desginers,

    I would love to be able to insert text in between lines already drawn. Otherwise I have to manually move text and try to insert the rest, IF there is space on the page.

    I understand that enabling this feature might mess up pages. Well, I would suggest to try to use AI to solve this problem.

    Or you might enable the feature while warning the user that the pages might get messed up. To do this you have to treat different pages as if they were one infinite page, I know... So, I suggest that…

  17. This will allow for more precision without having to manually type the angle you want, this becomes a problem when trying to draw a line of best fit and when you let go of the ruler its angle changes to a one of multiple of 5

  19. I purchased a few sticker packs and noticed that when downloaded to Elements the stickers are randomly sorted which makes it impossible to find stickers by category. The app currently does not include functionality to sort these easily. However it would make more sense that these were downloaded in the order of category of the sticker pack.
