  1. When I use keyboard typed-in mode, I found there is no way to adjust the fontsize because it's too small.

    But you can adjust the fontsize in iPad edition when you select the input words, it would pops out a toolbar

  3. Copy/Paste tool selection synchronization in split screen mode: when in split screen mode, using the copy/screenshot function tool in one document would automatically select the lasso tool in the other document, allowing easier copy and paste between split screens without having to select the lasso tool in both documents.

  4. Hi team

    I use GoodNotes like a Trapper Keeper from the 80’s so I have a lot of notebooks with dividers.

    However, when I am looking at all my thumbnails (especially in Split View) they seem too small when i’m using my iPad Pro 11”. See the attachment.

    It would be really useful if there was a setting ora pinch to zoom feature so that the thumbnails could be made bigger.

    Thanks for considering this future feature.

  5. I have been using Goodnotes 6 on my iPad Pro almost a year with my 2015 MacBook Pro running a version behind the requirement. The app works but not the documents created on the updated iPad. I sincerely hope GoodNotes Team able to create an option for syncing that it either can create a general basic compatible option for the documents upon syncing / saving. It's very frustrating that I will have to buy a new MacBook in order to use the sync function and so on. I suggest if possible there are options or patch allows the older version…

  7. On my iPad, when I have multiple items to be exported, the "Select All" feature is not working (I am using the most current version of GoodNotes). Thank you for reading!

  8. It is very hard to find comments in your old documents. Basically if you want to resolve a comment later you have to bookmark the page aswell. It would be great if a comment tab was added somewhere, where you could have an overview over all comments. (Similar to the attached picture in Adobe Acrobat). Another suggestion would be to simply add it in addition to bookmarks, such that pages that are commented are clearly visible (see other pic)
    In general if you would work on these features, the work together option for notes would be much improved aswell.

  9. When you have a canvas or a large note, to have the ability to set a standart size that you would use for writing, so that you can navigate around without having to take a long time to adjust the note after expanding or minimising.

  12. When I turn handwriting into text my #1 goal is to edit. This (apparently) has to be done using a finger tap, so ok, I'll work with that. I don't want to see a giant menu right away, which is what it does now, I instead want the insertion cursor to appear where I tap the text. (I'd use a tap and hold to bring up the menu.) I also don't want the regular virtual keyboard to appear and cover the text I just tapped, the text should remain visible :)

  14. GoodNotes is truly an excellent app. I use it every day.

    However, I am facing the following issue:

    Issue

    When creating a new note via double tap, the language setting configured in the settings screen is not applied.

    Details

    • I want to create notes with the Japanese language setting, but when I create a new note using the double-tap feature from the new note creation screen, the language is set to US by default.
    • As a result, handwritten note titles are not recognized correctly, forcing me to manually edit the title using the keyboard every time.
    • My workflow involves creating…

  16. Currently the writing tool in Goodnotes is a little useless in my opinion there are like 5 styles I can choose from.
    Why can’t I change the font?
    Why can’t I change the size specifically?
    Why can’t I insert pictures that move with text or wrap the Text?
    Why can’t YOU use the existing feature of the Textbox for the Writing Tool?
    And then just try once to change the color of a text snippet to a custom color…nice menu…but I can’t scroll because my onscreen keyboard is in the way and therefore I can’t select the color wheel (which…

  19. Add scribble to erase for pen drawings written on top and beneath tape, and add “only erase pen drawings” function to eraser, so we can erase words without removing the tape . Currently we could only repeatedly click “undo” to erase the words.

  20. If I create a note using the squared paper, positioning text (in text boxes), export that as a flattened PDF, import it as a template and use it, the typed text area no longer correctly aligns.

    It's weird, it's not starting the typed text box in the same place on the template as it is on the squared paper template, and the text seems to have a larger size or more of a gap between lines as it starts to creep line by line down the page (see example below).
    Should be a (super-)quick fix?
