  1. I think that apple’s File app has some bugs, so every time I upload a file to my google drive from PC, I cannot see that file via import button.
    Looks like it didn’t sync well on the File app.
    In my opinion, GoodNotes should request user permission directly to access the file from google drive.

  2. Simply make goodnotes snappier when opening folders and files, add little animations — for the selecting tool, for example.

    Goodnotes feels a bit “heavier” than Notability on this part, in my opinion

  3. When importing a new paper template being and you are writing in the zoom text field and click enter the whole box jumps down the whole box length. So being able to select where it jumps to when pressing enter and it so it can for example jump to the next line like with the pre-installed GoodNotes templates would be very good

  4. It would be good to be able to edit and save the convert to text function so when you're searching for specific prompts later and the convert to text did not work correctly automatically you could still find words later on.

  5. I don't know why, but the GoodNotes app sits inside a GoodNotes folder in the Applications folder. That intermediate folder isn't necessary. Just put the App in the Applications folder.

  6. Hi, I hope you can make a feature so that I can edit the a specific bookmark and change the page number without having to delete it.

    For example, when I use Foxit Reader (a PDF reader software), I can set bookmark at page 10, Then jump to page 30, and then 'Set this a new destination'. So that I have changed the page number of the bookmark

  7. From Notability, I miss the ability to add image text to images in my notes. When using several images/figures in my notes, I miss the ability of being able to tag these images with appropriate image text to tie them to handwritten text elsewhere in the same note. I’d much appreciate it if this feature is added in a future update.

  8. Wenn man ein Bild zuschneidet und die Größe anpasst und dieses dann kopieren und woanders einfügen will, sollte die Kopie die gleiche Größe haben und nicht eine x-beliebige. Das würde SEHR viel Zeit sparen, als jede Kopie neu auf die ungefähr gleiche Größe anzupassen.

  9. Allow me to move the paper/canvas freely so I don't have to take my hand off the glass when writing at the edge. This is only an issue in the opposite direction of the scroll. My workflow is up/down so I have limited access to the right edge because the page will rubberband back to center.

  10. 1) When importing docs into Goodnotes 5 and exporting to other places, file names become all lower cases. This is extremely annoying and Goodnotes 4 didn't have this problem.

    2) Please allow renaming the filename by tapping on the tab. Goodnotes 4 allowed this function, but now this function is gone in Goodnotes 5.

    3) Want to sort files by types or other orders, not just name.

  11. when using the app in split view, it would be interesting to have a command that allows you to select a specific area on the screen that automatically creates a snapshot and pastes it inside the document in which you are writing (avoiding having to do the classic iOS screenshot)

  12. Just a better view of the file before it is exported, in a sense showing the borders and coloring, etc.
    Would definitely help with making sure the correct documents are being moved properly to where they need to be

  13. There should be a better option when I need to send multiple files via email as separate pdfs. I often have to send multiple files from Goodnotes and it would be great if I could select that I want to send them as two separate pdf attachments. But the only option to keep them as separate pdf's is to send multiple emails because if I select multiple files to send as an email it will merge them into one large pdf.

  14. Please allow to add not only PDF but also images from the Files-sheet by tapping +. When draging-and-dropping in splitview from the Files app adding images to documents as new page works fine, so why don‘t you allow it from inside the app?

  15. Can GoodNotes please allow me to export my notes with a table of content and handwriting recognition at the same time? It is such a bummer that I cannot have both of these basic features to exist in the same file :(

  16. Hy guys
    It‘s actually not a feature, but a little detail that was bothering me...
    Every time I tag an important page and skip to the next page using my Apple-Keyboard, the tag continues for all the following pages. Only by swiping with my fingers the tag remains on the important page.
    Could you do something about that?

    Thanks a lot ;)

  18. Seria legal poder reorganizar as funções da barra de tarefas. Dessa forma o usuário poderia organizar da melhor forma possível para o seu trabalho, seria muito mais dinâmico.

  19. I think many people here agree the app does most of what you’d expect from it, but not everything.
    In my opinion, one of the biggest drawbacks is the lack of precise, accurate document editing tools… im saying, for example:
    - Rotation and resizing; lemme expand. First of all, make them separate. i dont want to change the size of something accidentally when resizing it, or vice versa. moreover, the option to do so its very tedious to reach, everytime, as it means lassoing everything, holding, clicking resize. its not practical, and the option to not change line thickness but…

  20. I used a Mac version of Goodnotes. It'd be great if the crosshair/ pointer is customisable, or even just give us more shapes and sizes to choose from. Personally I dislike the 4 lines crosshair and I think a simple dot would make for better precision and accuracy.
