  2. The text editing functionality is adequate, but it really needs table stakes functionality such as bullets. That's the main thing missing for me. Ideally, it would have robust, but lightweight functionality like Slack offers in chat. Using asterisks or hypens and manually futzing around with indention is a pain.

  3. The iPad dock line at the bottom interferes a lot with my hand while taking notes. I see that other apps like Procreate hide the dock line, and I need an extra gesture to get the line visible. This feature will be awesome on Goodnotes as I currently have a bad experience where an entire line of writing disappears sometimes because the iPad dock line was engaged by the bottom of my hand that was resting.

  4. To delete a page we need to pass through a long process of 5 clics or so.
    That's not quick enough.
    A single DELETE button on the page, next to ADD PAGE, would be a solution

  5. When you're trying to copy anything on GoodNotes 5 by selecting on the lasso tool and select copy. It "always" take a few moments to load, even though the item size is very small. I don't understand why I need to wait for the program to load everytime. It's very annoying!
    Ps. GoodNotes 4 and Notability do not have this problem. When I'm trying to copy, it processes instantaneously.

  6. I really miss the feature that many other pdf viewers (and browsers, eg safari) have, where one presses and holds the scrolling button to move it up/down to a desired page.

  7. It would be nice if there was a possibility to write on a page just like on a normal Word or Pages page, without having to insert a text field you have to adjust. I usually take notes with the iPad, but lately I started preferring taking notes with the MacBook. I have a lot of issues with the text fields we have at the moment. It is fine if I have to add some notes to a PDF file, but starting on a blank page is just a no for me.
    This has become such a big problem for…

  8. It would be awesome to be able to control Goodnotes on the Mac using VIM style keyboard bindings.
    Not all VIM functionality has to be included, but some essential keyboard bindings that many people are already used to would create an awesome user experience for vim users.
    Examples:
    j / k to scroll down/up (and h/l for left/right)
    ctrl-d /ctrl-u for page down/page up
    / for searching
    gg to go to the top of the document
    G to go to the bottom of the document
    :4 to go to page 4
    and so on.

  11. Using a mouse wheel to scroll to the top of a paper, I frequently end up unintentionally adding copies of the first page. I think my record is something like 6 copies before I noticed and deleted them,.

  16. I came over to the good note while using flexl.
    Good note's handwriting and comfort are touching.
    However, there were many inconveniences.
    First of all, when I see the pdf horizontally, I see only one page, so it is a waste of space. Don't crosswise support double-sided viewing.
    Second, I wish I had a pop-up note. There is a limit to taking notes on the pdf, and split views are uncomfortable.
    Thirdly, I wish I could easily grasp the pdf page.
    Hundreds of pages of major books are hard to open.
    I hope there is a function to see many…

  18. When I input some big size text or several lines text, due the text function cannot modify the width, so it cannot show it fully, sometimes it looks weird. I cannot imagine the result after I put this kind of text.

  19. Can you put in image scaling for covers? Not the import image function, it's when importing Covers via the Notebook Templates Section.

    Example, I find a free image I like, and download it, but when opening, find that it's square in shape. If I import this to the covers section, it retains it's square shape, and still, when selecting it for a cover image, it converts the size of the page to square to fit it's size.

    What would be great is to be able to import a certain image, and convert it to the NOTEBOOK page size. For example,…
