  1. I would like to suggest a new feature for GoodNotes. When the scrolling direction is set to vertical, it would be great to have an option to lock the scroll strictly to vertical movement. For example, after setting a zoom ratio, pressing a button could lock the view so that touch gestures only move the page up and down, with no side-to-side movement at all.

    The reason is that palm rejection is not perfect, and my notes often shift sideways unintentionally while writing. This feature would really improve the writing experience.

  2. Einen Taschenrechner der automatisch das Ergebnis ausgibt wenn man ein = schreibt. So wie bei dem Apple Taschenrechner auf dem iPad der es in der eigenen Handschrift schreibt. Ich und meine Klasse in der uni würden das sehr feiern

  3. Adding masking tape functionality to pointer mode would be a valuable improvement for users who frequently conduct classes, seminars, or webinars.
    It would allow a more professional, fluid interaction with the displayed material and help maintain audience engagement.

  4. Could you please consider allowing masking tape to be activated during pointer mode?
    Having to manually switch modes slows down the natural pace of a lesson or a talk. Offering direct access to masking tape without switching would provide a much smoother and more flexible experience for all users.

  5. It would be much more convenient if masking tape could be used directly in pointer mode, without the need to change tools every time.
    This small change would greatly enhance efficiency, especially when delivering lessons or explanations that require continuous interaction with the displayed content.

  6. Please enable the masking tape feature to be opened and closed even when using pointer mode, as this would make presentations and lectures far more seamless.
    Currently, having to exit pointer mode just to manage masking tape causes an unnecessary break in focus and disrupts the continuity of the session.

  8. Ich würde mir wünschen, die Funktion des Masking-Tapes auch im Pointer-Modus öffnen und schließen zu können. Bei Unterrichtseinheiten oder Präsentationen möchte ich gerne das Masking-Tape verwenden und gleichzeitig mit dem Pointer auf Inhalte hinweisen. Derzeit ist es notwendig, vom Pointer-Modus in den Stiftmodus zu wechseln, um das Masking-Tape zu benutzen, was umständlich ist. Ich wäre sehr dankbar, wenn Sie diese Verbesserung in Betracht ziehen könnten.

  9. Lors de l’utilisation du mode pointeur, je souhaiterais pouvoir ouvrir et fermer la fonction masking tape. J’aimerais utiliser le masking tape tout en faisant des présentations ou des cours avec le pointeur. Actuellement, il est nécessaire de changer du mode pointeur au mode stylo pour utiliser le masking tape, ce qui rend l’opération fastidieuse. Je vous serais reconnaissant(e) d’envisager cette amélioration.

  12. When adding an image (in the same way of adding another page in a notebook), can we add MULTIPLE images, and add them in the order that we select them?

    Below is a photo of where I am talking about when trying to add multiple photos. I had to add each photo one by one. Thank you

  14. We need a box for FAVOURITE TEXT STYLES.
    For my documents I use different fonts but each font is associated with a different text size and line spacing. it's very difficult for me to change the text and every characteristic each time in order to have the style I want, instead it would be very useful if I had a box with my favourites.

  15. Dear programmers,

    Please, Allows us to use shortcut to change colors while using Keyboard for take notes. That’s really useful… we need to use hand/pencil to change colors and this take some time.
    Example: cmd + r (change to red) or maybe we could setup our preferences though
    Bye bye bets programmers in intire swift world. Haha

  17. When writing continues from the current page to the next, the next page should be automatically added, and the handwriting should seamlessly extend to the following page rather than being "cut off" or "eaten" by it. (Similar to the writing experience in Notability, which handles this particularly well.)

  20. Allow the user to specify a default notebook for quick notes. If not specified, use a system default notebook. Never close an open notebook when starting a new quick note (open the specified default notebook or the system default notebook in a new tab if they are not already open)
