  1. Leider vermisse ich die Funktion, dass man einzelne Notizbücher mit einem Passwort oder ähnlichem schützen kann.
    Oder, für mehrere Benutzer entsprechende Passagen Passwort schützen. Für diesen Preis sollte es möglich sein. Des weiteren vermisse ich noch eine Terminierungsfunktion. Dies ist gerade für die Zusammenarbeit mit mehreren Personen sehr wichtig, um Folgeabläufe steuern zu können. Ein direktes umwandeln von Handschriften in Maschinenschrift wäre auch noch sehr von Vorteil. Leider reagiert hier der Support nicht!

  3. Would like to be able to use either a Bluetooth or USB (via adapter/receiver) presentation remote to advance slides in GoodNotes. Sometimes there are parts of the presentation that do not require annotation and it would be nice for instructors to be able to put the device down for a sec and still be able to advance pages/slides.

  4. I really like the Ultimate Study Planner, though I haven't used it, as I really can't work with the Sunday-Monday-Tuesday-...-Saturday format. Any chance that you can adapt this planner (and maybe also others that include this format of weekdays) for those who use Monday-Tuesday-...-Saturday-Sunday format?

  5. Als Linkshänder kommt man immer mit der Hand auf die Toolleiste und verstellt das Werkzeug oder das Dokument. Es wäre extrem cool wenn man wählen könnte ob links oder rechts und die Toolleiste dann an den unteren Bildrand rutscht. Denn so macht arbeiten am iPad echt keinen Spaß. Danke

  6. While we open a goodnotes shared link in browser tab (web), currently we have a plain title as "Goodnotes" for all the urls.

    It would be great if we set title as document name.

  9. Page Turner doesn't work when using iPad Pro 12.9 3rd Generation 4th Generation.

    I heard that it sometimes works on iPad Pro 11 inch, iPad Pro 12.9 inch 5th generation M1, but it doesn't work on iPad Pro 12.9 inch 3rd generation 4th generation. I thought it might be a compatibility problem with the page turner, so I tested 4 units for each different type of page turner, but it doesn't work. A typical example is that it does not work with iRig Blue Turn products.

  10. Currently when I search a keyword, it will show the search features of both my handwritten keywords + the typed keywords. But I want to search keywords quickly without showing the handwritten contents. In another words I can add some typed label for some sections header for clearer structure.

    Can the search function allow the options to search ONLY typed words?

  11. I would like to suggest adding more options for manual backup such as adding more formats like instead of just backup it with .goodnotes, we have the option to choose the format as same as the automated backup

  12. Could the color palette in text or highlighter tools have a feature where a press and hold, or a hover shows the name (in large text) of the color so that our color blind learners can still follow the directions that involve colors for school work?

  15. Use-Case: I use one document for all my call minutes. Then I take over some content into different systems or actions and mark the page as done with the green highlighter on one of the top corners.

    Problem: When searching my minutes, I can't see if a page is done or filter done pages.

    Ideas: Allow me to
    - set a tag per page and have search show/ignore specific tags
    - show a full preview of the page beside the zoomed hit are, so I can spot my marker

  16. I really hope that this app will also enter the Google Store. I'd like to know if there's any plan to do that.

    Additionally, it would be nice to use various pens, such as sign pens and pencils.

  17. I know in addition to the 3 standard colors and the option to purchase templates and import templates. At least for those who paid for the GoodNotes Premium option allow users to pick any color papers ( e.g. colors from a color picker). I enjoy the app, but also enjoy color coding. I believe this will be a good thing to add to the app.

  20. Most students and workers share notes and often do not use the same note-taking app. As you can only import notes taken in other apps in pdf form, you can't edit the handwriting: no eraser, no lasso tool etc... It would be INCREDIBLY beneficial if the handwriting recognition also worked with imported documents. I think applying the same handwriting recognition technology to imported notes with handwriting written in other note-taking apps would be doable. I really hope that you consider this idea because I believe that it will be a very crucial feature that will distinguish Goodnotes from the other…
