  2. It would be cool if a subdividing feature was enabled, as it is shown in the picture beneath

  3. Currently, I import all my journal articles into goodnotes to review, but I also make a summary powerpoint slide of each one. As I cannot copy and paste text i.e. long titles and author names, I now use the pdf, read and edit as needed in pdf form to make it easier, then import it really just for storage

  4. After "objects" was added, when using the lasso tool the "copy" option was moved to the second page of choosable options. As this is my most used option, it would be nice to have it back on page 1 of the option window. It's annoying to have to do one click more to get to second page every time.

  5. Hi Goodnotes! I want to suggest that the sticky notes (elements) will have an option to be minimized and maximized so we can have the choice of hiding it and showing it. It would be nice since I like to write key points but the newly added elements block the text. Thanks!

  6. die Position der vom Lasso-Werkzeug angebotenen Möglichkeiten in der Auswahl-Leiste sollten nach persönlichem Vorzügen verändert werden können.
    Hintergrund:
    in der deutschen Leiste muss ich jetzt ein zweites Mal auswählen für Ausschneiden, Kopieren und Löschen, brauche aber die zuerst angebotenen Möglichkeiten nicht oder deutlich seltener als die 3 genannten.

  7. It would be amazing to have access to more size options, not just the predetermined like A5, letter or GoodNotes size that comes with the app.

    With these:
    - If someone like to print the notes, this could be helpful to adjust everything.
    - This would solve a size problem to LATAM (with "Oficio size").
    - If someone wants to print and waste the less amount of paper, we can personalized the size to the half of the measurement.
    - This would let create files and images that can be used for different social media (for example Instagram post or…

  8. Hallo,

    Ich nutze GoodNotes nun seit einiger Zeit und bin sehr davon angetan. Ich habe davor ein Jahr lang Notability getestet und muss sagen, dass das einzige was mich bei GoodNotes hält die Schnelltaste für Formen ist. Um Notability eine Nasenlänge voraus zu sein wären meiner Meinung nach folgende Verbesserungen Nötig:

    1. Es sollte möglich sein ausgeschnittene Textstücke,Bilder oder sonstiges von einer Seite auf die Nächste zu verschieben ohne die ausschnitte erst ausschneiden und dann wieder einfügen zu müssen. Wenn man mal schnell eine Seite umsortieren will stört dieser Vorgang den Workflow erheblich.

    2.Wenn man ausschnitte von einem Aufgabenblatt ausschneidet und…

  10. Your pdf sizes are too big, when I compare it other pdfs in terms of page numbers. That creates a big problem in iCloud free users and who have limited storage like 32 GB. Also, the program runs sometimes slow in notebooks with many pages.

  11. I do a lot of handwriting in GoodNotes, but would love to have improved text functionality. The current formatting options (like no bullets or lists, and not being able to type on the full page, having the create multiple text boxes for multiple pages, etc.) are super frustrating. I'd love to have all my notes in one place instead of having to use a different app for typed notes.

  12. It would be tremendous to have the ability to launch the page organizer (with Thumbnails, Favorites, Outlines) via a keyboard shortcut. Furthermore, once in that window, it would be handy to be able to jump between the Thumbnails, Favorites, and Outlines views.

    I use all 3 of those organizational features in different ways within the same notebook, but navigation can get cumbersome. Having these navigational shortcuts would be a game changer.

  13. I would find it very useful if GoodNotes would include support for the eraser end of the pen used in higher-end Wacom screens and tablets. Thanks!

  14. Double-tapping the erasure tool brings up some options. Add an objects switch to allow me to turn that off. This way I can hand-draw a quick chart and begin filling it with text. Now if I need to make changes I can simply turn off objects and not have to worry about erasing the cell borders.

  16. Drawing a straight line works really well. It would be great if a beautiful wavy line could also be drawn neatly in a similar way. Teachers use this a lot to underline small errors for example.

  17. If you set your page scrolling to lets say horizontal and you scroll to the right you can create a new page there. What if you can create a new page on the right side and below. That way you have columns and rows for pages. You could import a PDF document vertically and add to every page on its right horizontally a new page.

  18. Taking notes on my iPad is perfect, it's seamless and very user friendly; however, when taking notes on my Mac it's a lot less user friendly. therefore, I kindly request for a more Mac friendly experience when taking notes

  19. Please add a option to delete documents and folders on your device without deleting them entirely. Similar on Files on MacOS where your files are in the cloud and you can choose to delete them just from your device. This would be especially useful on a low storage device.

  20. when I am viewing a pdf document, the page can not be zoomed out less than 100%. Whereas notability can make it happen.
