  2. Be able to write and view a note in dark mode however automatically invert to white paper and black/ darker coloured text when exporting to a pdf, sharing the document or printing. Onenote already does this and it is very useful.

  3. Sometimes when you use the same hexcode the colours between the pen and highlighter don't match, I then end up messing around with colours until the match better, would love if the highlighter matched more :)

  5. We need faster accelerated scrolling like Apple Notes, Margin Note or even the default PDF viewer app in the Files app. The scrolling speed of files in GoodNotes feels like my pages are stuck in mud, requiring me to use multiple long swipe gestures across the iPad to scroll down/up faster and reach my desired location. I noticed that multiple swipes also doesn't 'accelerate' the speed, which isn't an issue on other apps that I mentioned above or Apple native apps like Notes and Safari. Please implement this. Thanks.

  7. I suggest a more customizable range of template colors, that can also be used to replace preexisting backgrounds on imported PDFs.
    I also think it would be a good idea to be able to customize the color theme of the entire app.

  9. I use a lot of x-callback links, like a link to a DEVONthink document. The new linking feature assumes that it’s an HTTP link, and therefore puts in the HTTP in front of it, which doesn’t work for the x-callback types of links.

  10. There should be a way to edit pdfs or books in full screen mode. Just basic editing capability is needed for eg. a single pen or highlighter option should be there so that we can underline, mark or write something while reading in full screen just like we do for any hardcopy. Reading on full screen mode, the experience is on another level and if basic editing capability is added it will be just perfect( cherry on top of cake).

  11. I have seen some relatively dangerous behavior regarding notebooks set to auto-backup. When the backup process crashes/fails, the failing notebooks are automatically excluded from subsequent autobackups (see screenshot).

    This behavior is acceptable, and probably even desirable, so that other notebooks can continue backing up just fine.

    What bothers me about this behavior however is that I receive absolutely ZERO notification that one of my notebooks is no longer backing up. The only way that I can find to learn this is to manually navigate to Settings-->Automatic Backup-->View Backup Queue and note the list of excluded notebooks. This seems very dangerous…

  12. As a user, I'd like to be able to share links to specific pages within a notebook rather than the sharing a link to the entire notebook.

  13. Sometimes reviewing physics equations and organic chemistry mechanisms can be tiresome.

    I have a suggestion, if possible, design a way for the laser to record your writing. Allow the laser pointer to record how you write your notes so when you replay it and you can watch exactly how you drew your mechanism or how you did your physics problem.

  17. Since many lecturers at the university work with PDF/Powerpoint, I like to import them into Goodnotes to annotate them. I also add new slides to solve exercises or make further notes. Unfortunately there are no exactly fitting templates for this. It would be great if there would be a template that adapts exactly to the slide size of the PDF/Powerpoint.

  18. Imagine someone is writing in black paper with white pencil but he wants to print his notes. It would help if he could choose all the pages he wants to print and change both template of paper as well as the color of the pencil. Especially for the color there could be a choice that says change color A (specifically) to color B so as to not lose all other secondary colors.

    I have 3 ipad pros 12.9 (3,4,5 gen)

    But when I use it solving math problems, i have 3 ipad pro 10.3 12.9->10.3

    I use cintiq 24pro for solving math problems.

    As I wrote above, I really love goodnotes and I really appreciate your delvelopers in Goodnotes.

    I believe in Goodnotes, which makes…

  20. Synchronisation from mac to Ipad is really slow. Need to restart app or turn on shared document to synch them faster.. a reload button or faster synch time would be great!
