  2. Uni student here. It’s a pain to look through all the documents in my ipad when I’m only looking for notes on a particular subject.

  3. Use case: I use a "scratch pad" note for general note taking (meetings, phone calls, random thoughts throughout the day), since I find that quicker and easier than creating (and naming) new notes for every little occurrence.

    Sometimes the notes are useful and I need to "file" them away for future reference. Currently what I do is copy the range of pages I want, navigate away from the first note, create a new note, and paste in the pages.
    That definitely works, but the navigating around part makes for a bit of a clunky process.

    I think an "Export as…

  4. Making it possible to insert multiple pages of text at once (or import a word document and be able to edit it) where it is able to move the text, so you can write under parts of the text, with the rest of the text moving further down on to the next page. (and also have the handwritten notes follow, when editing.

    Right now when I insert text from a multiple long word file the text is just put into the textbox instead of continuing on the following page. Also the text and the handwritten text do not complement each…

  5. Double clicking on a blank area in the op menu bar (header) in the Mac app should expand the app to fill the desktop (not enter Full screen). This is fairly standard in Mac apps but missing in Goodnotes.

  7. Make a function like a text bubble in PDF expert.
    Very useful on powerpoints where there is no place to write on top off the slides.

  8. I wish goodnotes can support fast slide switching between pages rather than the normal continuous scrolling to change page.

    The sliding bar can be horizontal or vertical, depend on what setting we set in the scrolling direction in the setting.

    The feel on this sliding feature will be more like how to flip on the book to find the page we are looking for. This feature would definately improve and speed up working with the app.

    I have attach the video to show what I mean in sliding between pages.

  9. The toolbar and the bar above that shows the title of documents take a lot of space. It becomes a little frustrating especially when I’m writing in split screen, because it’s very thick and takes much more space than needed.
    It would be great if you could optimise the size of the bar and save some space to make the best writing experience.

  10. It should be possible to set a unique sync-path for your files or at least for the folders - so your syncfiles fit into your OneDrive-structure

  11. Ich hätte gerne die Möglichkeit, Ordner für eine bessere Übersichtlichkeit einzufärben. Und auch die einzelnen Registerkarten würde ich gerne einfärben können, um schneller etwas zu finden.

  14. It would be really helpful if one could "unlock" a page and let it overlap another page above it.
    When doing exercises I often get an exercise sheet and create a new page below for solving. It would be pretty cool if the new page could overlap the exercise sheet so I always see the exercise I am working on above it.

    Thanks!

  15. customization of the tools in the toolbar.
    -To be able to place the tools in the order you want
    - Within the tools as a marker, you can choose the intensity of the color (brightness)

    • Be able to create annotation routines, for example that the program detects or you introduce some patterns so that when you select a certain color or marker it already acquires a certain thickness or (better option ->) recognition of certain symbols so that it automatically changes to a tool (previously defined) and to save us having to change manually (((for example I write a "-"…

  16. Would be nice if you can set different scroll options for different documents. For example scroll the lesson presentation vertically and your notes horizontally when having them side by side, as its annoying to scroll horizontally when you have that much pages as presentations have

  17. I think it would be nice if I can take a picture of a handwritten document and the app will generate a digital "Goodnotes version" of it rather than just taking a photo of it. Everything I can do with a typical Goodnotes document I can do the same in this digital version.

    1. The new upgrade (GoodNotes 5) is for sure incredible. However, the reason why I chose to download GoodNotes (4), was because there was no other note-taking app that was compatible with another stylus such as Adonit, rather than the Apple Pencil. So, to conclude, I think an upgrade to have the possibility to connect different styluses will widen the approach and customer affiliations.

    2. Create an account option so that data is not lost, and so there is no need to use another app to keep the data.

    3. Reminders for to-do lists, daily organization, etc.

  19. When importing files import as new document takes directly to the home of Documents. It would be greate that it allow user to choose remember when we last import or start over.
    I do Add multiple files one by one. in that case I have to go thru all the way from biggnining to find my folder.
