  2. Seyes template or french school ruling template would be nice. It is possible though to copy one as a pdf and use it as a background, but this would be a nice add on.

  3. I use Goodnotes for idea generation for work and the one thing I miss from my previous app for this (Forge) is the ability to move pages around on a kind of pinboard grid, placing them wherever I want (in groups, solo, rows, columns, with space between them if desired). It would allow free-form placement of the pages on a grid perhaps 6 pages deep and as long as it needs to be, and would be an alternative mode to the traditional notebook sequential page style you currently have. Instead of opening up the sequential thumbnails view, it would open…

  4. In the app, there are two different menu points where you can change the option whether you want to fill in the shapes or not. But if I change it at the pen menu, the same change occurs at the shapes menu.
    But it would be cool to be able to draw not filled in shapes when the pen is selected an to be able to draw filled in shapes when you select the shapes menu. So that the two buttons are not connected together.

  5. There is an app muse, who to tell you the truth is a bad app but has a very unique feature and that it has infinity amount of flashcards on it that they can become bigger and smaller and you can even add a card inside another

    What am asking for is simple a flashcard that you see its containt and can controle its size that when you want to use you can make it bigger, this flashcard has an infinitesimal size or at least the size of a typical page

    This feature is like a game-changer for most of…

  6. I love the app and use it as my main PDF reader on iPad, but when it comes to the Mac version scrolling seems really buggy. Please could you enhance this?

  8. Continually exporting my notes into pdf result in endless filenames, if the file already exists: „Copy of Copy of Copy of Copy of filename.pdf“.

    To prevent this, a checkbox „overwrite, if file exists“ in the pdf-export-options would be very helpful.

  9. It would be nice to have the option to disable hold to zoom as this will often pop up when I am writing any dots, periods, or multiplication signs (I like to make them fairly visible).
    I'm fairly sure Notability has this, so it would be nice to have this option in this app as well.

  10. Sometimes I create a new colour and forget to Save it but need it anyway. I hope I am not the only person having this problem. So please add this fantastic tool.

  12. When zoomed in trying to write, ocasionally the whole thing zooms out having to zoom in again. This is very frustrating, especially when doing things under time restriction such as exams or some kind of quiz. I have noticed that this happens when moving the palm when writing.

  13. 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.

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

  15. When writing, I would love the option to duplicate whatever I wrote/drew using the lasso Tool directly (just moving the selected handwriting) like I can do with images. also for some reason it's possible when using split screen but not in the same page. I will attach a video of me duplicating something right away using split screen and then how it's possible to do with the same page ( it takes longer and not as efficient) I will be talking to explain further. thank you

  16. 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

  17. 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.

  18. 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.

  19. 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…

  20. 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.
