  2. I have a simple idea to provide to pen icons above because during the lecture while changing color of writing pen takes some time . Having 2 pens we dont need to open color menu again and again to select the color. We can do it just by tapping

  3. ToDo List detection by e.g. Special syntax like a Date Time String and a Square Or a dedicated button with reminder function. I also Wolldecke pay for it additionally.

  4. Other sync options (Dropbox, Google, Box, etc..) I have iCloud blocked by a policy installed so I can access my job email in the iPhone. This has completely restricted the sync option for me .. seems like a very good idea to give alternate syncing options for probably even more reasons than just this one that happened to me.

  6. The rotate, resize objects is currently tied to together, therefore when I just want to rotate an object I can’t unless my hand is really steady otherwise it resizes the object as well - these two functions have to be separate.

  7. Currently I can only save one default setting for a text field. This is very inconvenient when using multiple fonts and font sizes in the notes. It would be nice to be able to save between 10-15 different text field variations.

  8. Quick duplicate: lasso/select object, tap, hold, drag, & release.
    Options for selected objects/elements: add ability to lock object(s) (to prevent erasing or moving) or group multiple objects together.

  9. I love GoodNotes, and it's been a lifesaver with returning to grad school. I use it for all of my reading, which is all digitised this term, but as someone with a reading disorder, I would love if there was a way to turn on an accessible reading ruler, ideally with an adjustable size and colour overlay.

  10. So far so good!
    I’d like to see a new layout implemented. I’m sure most users use Outlines to organize their notebooks so it’d make perfect sense to have a fast way to access the outline of the notebook without having to press on the four Rectangle button and then click on Outline (when being in thumbnails or favorites).
    So my recommendation is to have a button to directly show the notebook outline, since I’m working a lot with lectures slides and I have one notebook for each course. The placement of the button could be near the title on…

  11. I like annotating my textbooks and sometimes spreads cross 2 pages. Being able to see them side by side without opening a new window and be able to seamlessly draw across the two pages would be a dream.
    Example: Apple’s Books app automatically displays 2 pages when the iPad is turned to landscape. Maybe goodnotes can incorporate a toggle feature for this?

  12. Would be great if the textbox function did more to convert the page to a full word processing document rather than being restricted to the paramaters of a word doc. This would mean automatically going to the next line when typing, font/formatting automatically adjusting to the page template (i.e. actually typing in the lines when I'm using lined paper instead of me having to resize the box and font to try to get them aligned), adding strikethrough and other functionality, etc. Especially for goodnotes desktop! This would completely eliminate onenote for me if I could markup pdfs and take handwritten…

  13. Currently, a Fillable Form is rendered inactive when uploaded to GoodNotes 5. Handwriting is still functional, but none of the Form Fields are. It would be excellent if we could fill out a form, and then make notes on the side. The Form should then be exportable, with all notes, and completed Form Fields.

  14. Much like the writing magnifier, except it will convert your written words in that window in real time onto the page as typeface text.

  15. Hi!

    Goodnotes is amazing, it transformed my ipad experience. The one gripe I have is that it is really cumbersome to switch between pen and eraser. I suggest that when the stylus is used, and "single finger drag" is turned off, I should be able to turn on "single finger erase". So write with stylus, erase with finger, drag with two fingers.

    Hope this is a small and easy feature... I'd definitely pay for it!

  16. Since the iPad Pro differentiates between pencil and finger interaction why not while using the pencil allow the finger to erase. This would be very efficient for the users.

  18. It would be better to be able to edit the toolbar in zoom window. For example, adding more colors option or adding an eraser button etc.

  20. You can add the option to create table of content without the need to draw any one every time
    And I would that you will add the Hebrew language for the handwriting recognition
