  2. I am a heavy goodnotes user, I have noticed that when my notes become complex the app starts to lag/bug/stutter to the point where my handwriting changes (as if the app is drawing straight lines between points that are noticeably further away from each other). By complex files, I don't mean long documents but rather supercharged single-page documents (for cheat sheets for example)

    edit: I am using an M series iPad Pro

  3. I am required to download maps and images into Goodnotes for work and highlight and markup on these files.
    I find it extremely difficult to spot colours on an already colourful document. Is there a a tool or setting that could allow the user to change files from colour to greyscale?
    There are a few long ways to do this with desktops but I only carry an iPad with me. So unless I have a premium Adobe subscription I am stuck.
    I understand my issue may be unique but I’m sure the ‘convert to greyscale’ tool could come in handy…

  4. There are quiet a lot of feature request regarding being able to export all Highligthed parts of an PDF. However for a start i think it would be beneficial if, you could filter the (miniature) pages in the content view to show Pages that has been Highligthed or written a note on.
    Kind off like the Bookedmarked tab shows only bookedmarked pages. For start it probably would be enough to show the entire page a Highligthed has been made. In a Perfect world (probably quiet challenging to archive) this could maybe work like the preview when searching for something in…

  6. I enabled text replacement in MacOS' keyboard settings to be able to to use λ and ₜ in my Flashcards by simply spelling "lmbd" for Lambda... Since it's not available on my keyboard.
    It works perfectly fine in Safari or pages etc. but not in Goodnotes.

  11. Hello Everyone!
    I write happily and motivated, because Goodnotes made my engineering studies better and more enjoyable.
    With this mindset, this thought also comes: Constrain objects to each other.
    E.g: I have a line, and I draw a circle. I want them to align tangentially. This would be awesome, since the shape recognition works amazing. Tangent is just one thing, it would be good to see other constraints, like perpendicular, parallel, concentric, midpoints, intersections, or maybe the option to define a distance between shapes/points. I know the app should remain a note taking app, but with the intro of math…

  12. Right now, one can select text and press "mark". I want to perform the same action just by using the apple pencil without any effortful interim steps. Using the normal marker right now, I have to focus on drawing neatly to receive uniform marking results that are straight and neat.

    • Presets of tool combinations: Allow users to save and access frequently used combinations of tool settings directly from the toolbar.

    • Example 1: A preset for creating diagrams could include a dashed line, red color, 5pt thickness, and the ruler tool enabled.

    • Example 2: A preset for annotating text could include a yellow highlighter with 50% opacity and a black pen set to 2pt thickness.

    • Time-saving feature: Eliminates the need to manually reconfigure tools each time, streamlining workflows!!!!

    • Enhanced usability: Tailor tool combinations for specific tasks and access them quickly with a single click.

    (My problem: I have three pen sizes…

  13. We can write in the infinite grey space on either side of the documet. Doesn't have to show up when printing anything (only print out the page / inserted document). Or have numerous options to format it differently like OneNote when printing things out with annotations on the side.

  14. Add GIFs and videos to documents that reproduce! Have a tab where you can write without modifying the original document, similar to "Ask Goodnotes," and allow this window to follow the text being written along with the audio (for example the "notes" option that is on canva). Improve how text boxes are displayed on Mac compared to iPad, as they currently shift position. Enhance the AI for studying to promote active recall (THEA is an excellent example for this). There should also be an option for Goodnotes to automatically generate flashcards from a document.

  16. There is an issue with the usage of the Apple Pencil Pro.

    First, when using the pen with the hover feature is enabled, the writing experience feels significantly different compared to when it is disabled. Specifically, enabling the hover feature causes severe strokes or unintended extensions in the written text.

    Second, please fix the pencil experience. There is an issue with drawing curved shapes, where part of the shape turns into a dotted line. Additionally, the pencil tool appears too faint, leading to reduced visibility.
