  2. It would be SUPER handy to be able to write in the margins of page view for longer documents so you can scroll down many pages make notes about certain sections. Not just for long PDFs, but even journals or anything that results in length in which you want to make notes about certain key high lights of your document

  3. I often find myself using GoodNotes in the train and often the tracks aren’t straight but quite curvy which makes it sometimes impossible to write.
    I would like the option to cancel out any fast movements when writing or drawing, maybe using AI.
    This would mean, any “ugly” lines that were caused by shaking of the arm from sitting in a car, train, bus or rollercoaster would be smoothed out.
    This feature could be one of a kind for GoodNotes

  4. After downloading the app for the first time, you’ll be asked to create an account. In that account, all of your notes it’s gonna be safe and secure. You can delete the app or download in another device and all you have to do is log in into your account. I personally think it’s more reasonable to add this feature only to those who use the paid version of the app. With your account you can, not only access your notes anytime anywhere, but also feel safe about not losing your notes.

  6. Goodnotes 5 had list view for files and folders but Goodnotes 6 does not. I am in school and need to label my files with class information for quick reference but this makes the file names too long to be able to see the entire thing. Please add this feature for ease of use.

  7. EDITED: Keeping this on here, just in case anyone else has the issue...I figured it out :)

    On my iPad, I can single finger scroll left/right and go through all of the cover/page options. I just realized that I can two finger scroll on my Air, mimicking the action from the iPad. Sorry about that!

    Not sure if this is an idea or just a question but I am to finding a solution. I use a MacBook Air (2020 on Sonoma) and iPad 9 (on OS 17.4.1). These are my life connections and I have all things syncing with iCloud…

  8. Hi,

    I use GoodNotes to complete two pages of tasks I have to grade during instruction. It would be great to have a virtual fold function so the labels were next to the grade column I'm working on.

    Thanks!
    Have a great day!

  9. We need more contrast please (white font on black/black font on white background) = EASIER TO READ
    A baby blue colour on a white (or black, if you‘re in dark mode) backdrop is STRAINING for the eyes.
    At least give us the option to choose the system default blue colour or white/black please!

    It‘s these small details that make the customer experience better/smoother.

    I get that the blue colour is supposed to show off the „GoodNotes brand“ - fine: keep the icons on the right hand side blue and only change the colour of the things circled in red (see…

  10. In academia we usually have to read a lot and with that comes a necessity to organize and keep track of citations, I know that there are aps for that but I like the idea of using goodnotes highlight when reading, as it keeps the document clearer

  11. It would be nice to be able to store files (notebooks yes, but also elements!) either in iCloud, some other cloud, or in a GoodNotes cloud system, and have them accessible and editable on device.

    I have very limited space on my iPad, but i have several notebooks, and I have TONS of stickers that I would love to add to my elements. The problem is that I do not have the space for it on my iPad at all... However I do have space in cloud storage. Now I have to use iCloud and add png files to Goodnotes…

  12. While editing in Study Sets, there should be an option for the toolbar placement, instead of being locked in to the toolbar being placed on the top.

  14. I don't like my handwriting becoming affected / "covered" by the color of highlighter (like notability). I wish there was an option we could choose.

  17. In the current version, when importing images into Study Sets, the photos taken are directly reflected on the cards, and the image ratio is fixed at 1:1.
    In order to create cards that are effective for study, we need to be able to beautifully turn a photo taken into a card and also be able to import images in the ratio of our choice (sometimes even the answers to questions are imported onto the surface!) .
    Therefore, (1) the captured image should be corrected as if it were a scanned document, and (2) the user should be able to freely…

  18. Line should be separated as a different line after we cut a line.
    After we erased the center of line, it looks like a different line. But it move sync when we select and move a line. It's very troublesome when I want to edit a simple picture, because I have to delate all of the connected line only when I want edit part of the line.

  19. Acho que a organização dos adesivos deveria ser mais fácil, e em uma janela melhor de visualizar o que estamos fazendo. Pois quem tem muitos adesivos demora horas pra organizar e da muito erro no processo.

    Xxx

    I think organizing the stickers should be easier, and in a better window to visualize what we are doing. Because those who have a lot of stickers take hours to organize and cause a lot of mistakes in the process.
