  1. I loved the new keyboard option for writing, like in “Word.” But I would like more options to modify the font and other aspects, other tools, to improve the writing part. Another suggestion is that when I paste something I copied from ChatGPT, it comes with symbols like * and #. There could be an option to locate these symbols and remove them all. Add more features to the study cards (you can borrow some ideas from Anki) haha. Thank you, I look forward to it! I love the app <3

  3. Return, please!! the removed functionality to insert PDF snippets in PDF format !! on Mac.

    Before I could insert snippets from PDF documents without them being converted to a low resolution image format. Just rectangle selection in the Preview app, and paste in the GoodNotes, without the text being distorted and in Vector PDF format.

    Now, the snippets are being converted to low res images and all the text and quality is distorted.

    Please, change it back or add such an option.

    That was the best feature in GoodNotes for me.

  4. I really like Goodnotes as a tool - it is visual supporting and not loaded with too many options. But, I barely use Good Notes. It is so inconvenient to write and organize a notebook, because the pages are not automatically included while writing or pasting a text. Instead, I have to add intentionally a new page - otherwise the text continues to be written on the same page … hidden. Organizing a note book with ideas and content becomes so inconvenient and annoying, that I often use to start with Goodnotes, but switch to another alternative when (again) encountering…

  5. Currently, even though only PNG and JPEG seem to be officially supported, I can rename (not converting!) any BMP / WEBP image to ".png" and then I can paste the file into Goodnotes without any problems.

    If Goodnotes supported pasting these file formats without first renaming them to PNG, I would be a very happy person :)

  6. OCR cannot dittect other languages hand writting correctly.

    but an app called "CamScanner" has a filter called "Magic" it makes any photo and process it to look like scanned file. it removes unwanted reflection, shadow and make all the white areas total white. makes all the black text total black, alsocorrects other colors.

    to match the goodnotes white background i use "camscanner" to proccess photo, then saves it, then imports it.

    if Goodnotes has that filter, ican just click photo and apply the filter. it will save me a lot of time

  7. I want to be able to import a pdf and have the pdf pages appear as pages in the existing notebook, scaled to the size of the notebook pages. Also, the form fields in the imported pdfs appear blank when they shoulf be filled. This needs to be fixed.

  9. On iOS devices, the template chooser takes up most of the screen. On Mac, it's a tiny little modal dialog box that screams "Mac Catalyst afterthought".

    And across iPhone/iPad/Mac, the thumbnails previews for each template are so faint that they all look like uniform white/yellow/black rectangles. They're only really discernible on iPad, but barely at that.

    It's a minor nag for me, but objectively, it's careless user-hostility for those with vision impairments. I'd be a lot more incensed about this if I had the vision of my future middle-aged self.

  10. I would like a feature that is similar to Procreate's "stream line" feature for their brushes, which allows the brush strokes to become sensitive to jitters or micromovements while writing or drawing. Sometimes my handwriting can show imperfections, especially while doing long lines and diagrams.

  12. Ich würde es super finden, wenn man das aktuelle Datum einfügen könnte, ohne es jedes Mal schreiben zu müssen. Klar kann ich es auch kopieren und dann immer einfügen, aber eine Einfügen wäre dann doch einfacher.

  15. Like how we can create comments and collapse them, if we could place a sticky note and collapse it, I think this would be a great feature to expand note taking. Especially on things like PDFs that do not have a lot of room in the margins.

  16. It usually crashes when I use it. It just doesn't work for creating new notes, it is good for only viewing. However, need to improve the customer experience like an increasable font for larger scale monitors or just 16 inches MBP. BTW the CPU and Memory usage when I use the laptop version is crazily high, hope u guys may improved it! Many Thanks!

  18. THE NEWEST TYEPE COMMENT is so hard to use! It cannot see whole things, is stable over there, and cannot scroll down, or close it. This is type 6.3.38, I like 6.3.36 please let this type back!!

    I hope the comment can be scrolled down smoothly and can add notes on it.

  19. Hello,
    Sorry for using the feature request to report a BUG. Unfortunately I have not found an option for a BUG report.

    I use Goodnotes for measurements on site. Goodnotes runs on the iPad with the latest padOS. I use a Leica Disto X4 for the measurements. The Disto is connected to the iPad via Bluetooth.

    BUG:
    I have activated the pen (or another tool) and measure with the Disto.
    Every time after the measurement Goodnotes changes the tool to "Newest" (the tool with the star icon).
    and you have to switch back to the previous tool every time after…
