  2. The Cursor when using a pen is 4 pointers sticking out from the center. It is really bothering me. Cause if i try to draw compact letters it will just cover it completely. An option for Different cursor types would make it al ot more enjoyable :)

  3. Why?

    I use different colour palettes for notebooks, for example soft natural colours in a journey diary but clear, very different colours while working my way through a scientifical PDF. So I added many colours to choose from and have reached a confusing number.
    I had to compromise on some of each colour palette for my preset 12 colours so it‘s only about 3-4 preset colours for each kind of document
    I also use different pen thicknesses, etc.
    My text boxes look very different between my notebooks.

    So to keep different colour palettes, other settings to choose from and the…

  4. I have to move the content of 80 pages digital planner into new planner that contains hyperlinks.

    • moving pages is not an option because the hyperlinks on the planner will be lost
    • and using the lasso is a lot of time consuming

  5. I think it would be beneficial if there was the ability to sort documents by date last opened instead of date created. I have tons of documents and sometimes it’s hard to find what I need even if I just opened it. I want my most frequently used to be at the top of the list. Even the ability to pin a folder/ notebook would be nice

  6. If all Goodnotes files were saved alongside other files it would make it easier to store all files in one place and not have duplicates on Goodnotes and my Files app. I understand that Goodnotes make all files the .goodnotes format in order to save annotations and such, but I still think saving these Goodnotes formatted files in the Files app is far better as it gives a better way to view all my notes in once place and not have to import everything into Goodnotes. Maybe users can be given the option to convert PDFs to a Goodnotes format…

  7. Just like we have options for typing, image and other, we should get an option for tape where we just add a picture, use the tape option to cover what we want to know and when we are practicing, each tape opens up one by one. If we get it right we press good and if we get it wrong we press wrong :)

  9. I wish the items inside the element windows were bigger.
    When you need to search for a sticker or a sentence, it is always very difficult to pick the right one straight away . Stickers should fit the window.
    Thank you

  11. When dragging symbolic links pointing to some PDF Files into the GN Window on the Mac, it simply does nothing, not even an error message. Dragging the PDF files works, but then they are imported with other names. Like other Unix-programs, GN should treat symbolic links the same as it does files.

  12. In the screenshot below I was linking the pages of my weekly readings for a class. I had the beginning of each week in the outline and wanted to access them by clicking on the text at the beginning like a table of contents. I had to link them by having the outline open on the side then scrolling to find the page on the other menu. I think it would be more efficient to just have the option to see bookmarked and outline drop a like and comment if you agree.

  15. Hello GoodNotes Team,

    I’ve been experiencing significant issues with the audio recording feature after restoring my data using an iCloud backup. Since the restoration, my audio recordings no longer sync properly with my notes. For example, when I play recordings at 2x speed, only the audio accelerates while the notes remain at 1x speed, causing a mismatch between the two. Additionally, the app crashes frequently during playback.

    I’ve seen reports of similar issues from other users as well, so it seems to be a recurring problem. This issue is severely affecting my workflow, and I would appreciate it if this…

  16. Would like for programs like Launcher Pro and others to launch the app without the app believing you are trying to upload a file. This creates an error every time I launch Goodnotes from Launcher on my iPad.

  17. Please add a setting, so that the squeezing of the apple pencil pro switches to erase and as soon as one stops squeezing the mode gets back to the previous one. I use this a lot in the Notability-app and I got used to it so quickly, that I always squeeze the pencil, when I want to erase something...

  18. It would be great if you could do different things with different types of clicks and pressure with the Apple Pencil.

    In addition to a better distinction between the pencil and the finger, that if you touch a link with the finger it opens and with the pencil it does not do anything or it can be edited (it depends)

    Other useful things could be done with one, two or a hold click of the pencil and finger.

    For example, if you click (with Apple Pencil or finger) on the pen thicknesses, it will quickly change between the predefined thicknesses…
