  3. I prefer setting tool position on the bottom because it reduces moving distance of my hands. (I'm using apple pencil 1 gen.) In this case, UI for recording shows below the icon so that I can't see what's going on, and it shows on top of tool bar.
    I hope it gets better very soon.

  4. Layout for the Flashcards in order to be able to make them rasier and more individual. Also the possibility to combine the individual Tools. (Text, Image, Pen)

  5. I'd like to see a donation option in settings or somewhere. I love this app, my life is this app (I wish I were being melodramatic). With that love comes fear, fear that this app will turn into a subscription model as it becomes more robust. I wouldn't mind donating what I can-when I can. I've purchased items from the shop in the iOS version, but I don't see another way offer my support. Finally, if there is a way to hide the tool bar on all versions it would make a big difference for people with small screens.

  6. I would like it so that when I zoom in, the space on the outside of the page is large enough that I can zoom into the place I want to write and it would be positioned on the right side of the page. Currently, if I zoom onto the left side of the page, I would have to reach my right hand over to write on the left side.

  7. I am a student and I really enjoy using Goodnotes to read my textbook and make notes on it. However, recently, I’ve bought the latest IPad Pro (12.9). I thought my experience of using these apps would be even better as I have a larger screen and better chip. However, my writing experience on Goodnotes then becomes horrible, as the Apple Pencil seems uncontrollable and the curve becomes not smooth (The letter c, s and number 3 looks pretty ugly because of it). I thought that was my equipment’s problem, but then I tried notability and procreate and my handwriting…

  8. Figma or Miro makes it quick to get started, rather than making your own structure from the scratch.
    Part of it can be figured out by Goodnotes team such as todos or calendars, maybe more for the power users such as SCAMPER or customer journey. The rest of it can be left upto the community to be figured out on their own.

    It is essential for the Templates to be accessible in-app. Search and download. Having favorite templates marked down for quick access in every category, maybe have some AI magic in place to change the color theme real quick.

  9. choosing a tool -> adjusting the size -> changing the color = desired preset
    it's a long process and one would not do it everytime while switching between headlines or a quick circle around a segment.
    It'd be very convenient to have such presets in place, so the user can customize it to their liking and take down notes in their desired styling

  10. It would be great if there could be a template (like Cornell style) where you can put the term of the flashcard on the left, and the corresponding definition on the right. Then, this could be automatically converted into the flash card template. I love the flashcard template but copying and pasting each individual definition is quite tedious, and I think an automated conversion could be created to help with this. This would be especially useful for people who make hundreds of flashcards per subject to study.

  12. When taking photo, add the option to edit it at the time you took it and not after you press “use photo”.
    Also, make it possible to scan pictures just like you can do on phone,
    Add resize it not only in square shape.
    For ex. To be able do scan the board at class.

  13. 我用的是iPad版本的,当从其他网站导入good notes时的PDF就真的是PDF,一点没有适配我的iPad屏幕,不像其他软件例如 noteablity,或者Reader,从其他网页导入它们app时字体又大,宽距可以适应,直接就可以上手编辑了。我很喜欢用Good notes,可以让我一次性直接导入而不是用其他app吗?

  14. When you import a PDF, the page size often doesn't match with the rest of the document like Notability does. It'd be great to at least have an option to match the page size so a vertical scrollimg document looks like it fits in.

  16. I write with my palm resting on the right side of my iPad, but when a line I've written reaches the right side, I am suddenly writing with my palm on the table. I'd like an option that supports moving the page off-center to the left and having it stay there, so I can continue writing without shifting my hand.

    For comparison to another drawing/writing app, Procreate canvases let you do this.

  19. Mir gefällt an GoodNotes sehr, dass man das Cover des Notizbuches selbst gestalten kann.
    Für die Struktur arbeite ich jedoch lieber mit den Ordnern.
    Deshalb wünsche ich mir, dass man die Icons der Ordner ebenfalls selbst gestalten könnte oder zumindest in verschiedenen Farben wählen könnte.

    —————————

    What I really like about GoodNotes is that you can design the cover of the notebook yourself.
    However, I prefer to work with the folders for the structure.
    That's why I wish that you could also design the folder icons yourself or at least choose different colors
