  1. It would be great if you could change the fill colour, the frame colour and the transparency of already created objects.

  3. Hello,
    when I view or edit my PDFs which are not vertical (e.g. A4 format), GoodNotes does not allow me to zoom out more. This would be necessary sometimes to have a better overview of your PDFs. Instead, one has to use the little page viewer, which is kind of a struggle. Why does GoodNotes not allow more zooming out?
    Best regards,
    Carlo

  5. import a document and export it after editing is a working way, but a bit difficult/ long. it would be nice to open a document directly from an external folder (eg dropbox or box or iCloud) with a possibility to save it directly to this external folder without having to import and export it manually. maybe a way to integrate this is via an background temporary folder, as goodnotes imports and exports the document automatically

  6. Vielen Dank für die Umsetzung meiner Idee in erster Linie.

    Es wäre super, wenn man die Farbstifte nur in einem Einstellungsmodus hinzufügen könnte. Auch wäre super, wenn die Stiftstärke wieder links der Farbstifte mit 3 verschiedenen Dicken verfügbar wäre.

    Noch besser wäre, wenn die Gesamte Leiste einstellbar wäre.

  8. Möglichkeit das man die Sortierung in „Datum“, „Titel“ und „Art“ nur Lokal in jeder Unterebene vornimmt. In der Ordner Übersicht könnte man also zum Beispiel nach „Titel“ sortieren und im jeweiligen Ordner nach „Datum“.

  9. When learning with the new flash card function, I like to copy/paste sentences from other documents onto a flash card and highlight the words I want to learn the translation of. (more context ->better learning)
    Implementing a „Big, cursive, underscore ability“ like in other GoodNotes-documents or some other highlighting-option would be greatly appreciated.

  12. Would like to be able to add a template for larger paper

    At present, the largest paper template is a tabloid, but due to the nature of the work, I am used to thinking and recording on larger paper. In other recording apps, there are 300 times the size, such as "Unlimited Draft". Although I don't need such a large paper, I still hope There are larger paper templates, such as large newspaper templates or modules that are several times or even ten times larger than the current tabloid. Thanks.

  13. I type or dictate my notes, so they are typed on my mac.
    It would be nice to be able to do an outline format for my notes.

    this is a pain in goodnotes and since I don't just use it as a planner but a notetaking app it is something that is critical.

    I've actually started checking out other apps for class and bsns notes.

  14. If you write a text and just want to move one word / sentence, you have to be very careful that your selection doesn’t touch other parts you don’t want to select.
    It would be great if GoodNotes could figure out, what you want to select. The Apple Notes App does this.

  15. Hello! Thanks for the great app. It would be really cool to add a third scrolling mode: instant slide switching. This is sorely lacking. When I make podcasts, I have to erase in the reverse order, and return the elements as the podcast progresses. Switching (seamless) would be much easier

  17. If your like me, you want things a certain way. In my line of work, I have different pen colors for work, but I also want to use a different batch of colors on my planner. Same thing goes for my text boxes, I use different types of fonts on each document. Different documents that I use daily require their own set of tools and formats. I would like to be able to label my different presets under a folder or tab in the interface. I use this app for both work and pleasure daily.

  18. I prefer setting tool position on the bottom because it reduces moving distance of my hands. (I'm using apple pencil 1 gen.) In this case, UI for recording shows below the icon so that I can't see what's going on, and it shows on top of tool bar.
    I hope it gets better very soon.

  19. I'd like to see a donation option in settings or somewhere. I love this app, my life is this app (I wish I were being melodramatic). With that love comes fear, fear that this app will turn into a subscription model as it becomes more robust. I wouldn't mind donating what I can-when I can. I've purchased items from the shop in the iOS version, but I don't see another way offer my support. Finally, if there is a way to hide the tool bar on all versions it would make a big difference for people with small screens.

  20. Hi, it would be great if you could add the feature to customise colours for text too! Also to be able to change parts of the text block and not the whole block!
