  1. If the undo operation take place in another page, I won’t be able to see it nor know what was done. Jumping to that page where undo take place will allow me to understand more about the nature of the undo.

    Moreover, jumping, wait 500ms and then perform the undo will allow me to visually see it as well.

    Redo will jump back to the page I were at.

  3. In my paper journals (and in GoodNotes) I have various shorthand icons that I draw next to text (stars, hearts, tiny houses, etc.). It would be great if I could draw these icons into an "icon gallery" and then when I draw them onto a page they would be recognized and the page would be "tagged" with the icon so that I can quickly find it again.

    And I totally get that training your recognition engine to identify arbitrary shapes is a much different beast than recognizing handwriting in general and this may not be technically feasible. But it would…

  4. Ist es möglich in Zukunft die Option einzufügen, dass man ganze Dateien (Notizbücher etc.) kopieren und in einem anderen Ordner einfügen kann? Bei duplizieren wird immer die Datei umbenannt und bei Bewegen ist sie im Ursprungsordner natürlich nicht mehr vorhanden.

  6. I saw this interesting article and it would be really cool if you could add to good notes or emulate it having a floating pallet.

  7. Parallel lines (for example, double underscore or even wider tabulation lines) are often merged when "too close" together, even when zooming in. In nearly all cases, I want a parallel, close line, at the distance where I start the line. Suggestion: take the distance of the starting point to the paralleled line and correct to the parallel line at this distance.

  8. 工具栏面积占比太高了,浪费屏幕显示区域,关闭了状态栏显示都还是觉得工具栏占位置过多,影响阅读及书写体验。小小建议:把工具栏缩减为一行,或者在不减少工具选项的情况下把工具栏做窄一点,个人认为没必要做得那么宽。希望能改进一下下。

  9. Auto Backup Copy update was a great update from GoodNotes 5

    However, a major problem has show up.

    There is no option to automatically backup up PDF Copy with blank page layout.

    This would be great to improve visibility in PDF Files. It’s kind odd my backup PDF keep the lines or dots on background of my notes.

  11. I tried searching for (as a specific example) “3919” (without quotes) when looking for a note I had hand written with the text “003919” (again without quotes).

    Search didn’t find it until I searched very specifically for “0039” (no quotes).

    It would be great if you could enable search of a string within words / text.

    Incidentally, searching “003919” also gave zero results.

  12. If I flip through from bookmarked page to the next page, There is not the next bookmarked page, But the next page among the whole page.

  14. Ok, we can now scroll like a normal notebook, how about being able to do that, but adding a page above, or below an existing page. Kind of like a mind map. If you have a note with something specific, you can add something specific below (or above) a note

  15. it ist great that now it is possible to backup our files with for example google drive/one drive.

    But it were much better if we could sync the Backup folder with goodnotes.
    Thus we get much easier and faster import from the computer

  16. It will be very nice, if you could specify a certain time period for Auto-Backup.

    For example Once a day or every hour. Because I think, since I activate it, my battery of the IPad is much faster empty

  20. Saving past edits/versions like Google Drive does.

    Recently, things I wrote in GoodNotes have randomly disappeared, and they would only sometimes reappear. It's fine if they disappear when I know exactly what I wrote, but if it's something I copied from another part of a document or from another document altogether, and it randomly disappears, then it becomes a problem. A possible solution would be the ability to access past versions (like Google Drive) to retrieve what I copied/cut.
