  1. I would really enjoy a standard size for imported pictures from my MacBook. For Example imports could always take up the space of 10 Blocks or so. This would really help, because right now I always have to adjust the picture size manually.

  3. Due to my studies,I a have a lot of folders with subfolders and other subfolders and so on. It would save so much time, that if the path, you are currently in, is displayed and that you can jump to e.g. a higher folder just by clicking on the name in the path. Just like e.g. the data explorer in windows

  4. Wenn ich ein Dokument durch Doppel-Tap auf die Fensterbreite gezoomt habe und dann scrolle, verschiebt es sich gerne auch seitwärts. Das hätte ich gerne verhindert.

  5. Ich hätte gerne eine frei verschiebbare Leiste, in die ich Stifte und Textmarker mit beliebigen Einstellungen hinzufügen kann. Jeweils 3 Farben sind ein bisschen zu wenig.
    Ich möchte eine Kurzwahl zu von mir voreingestellten Stiften mit je einer Farbe und Strickstärke.

  6. I set my scrolling direction to "horizontal" and I often flip through many lecture slides for review. I would prefer the transition animations to be disabled when I use a physical keyboard to navigate (with arrow keys). The transitions makes it more tedious to skim through the PDF. It would also be great to have a page count more visible on the main screen (rather than hidden inside a menu).

  7. While studying the notes, pages should have a turning effect just as in a real notebook. Having only a scroll option makes the experience very animated.
    Currently, some pdf readers like pdfViewer support the turning effect but having it in the same note taking app will make it complete for paper like study and note taking experience.

  8. There's a problem with goodnotes text selection
    I select the text and enlarge it and
    it just automatically makes it rotate by a small degree,
    which is VERY ANNOYING

    I can't make the text bigger without it rotating by 10 degrees or something
    Like i CAN, but it's very difficult.

    This is a bug this has to be solved;;;;;

  9. linking to another GoodNotes files when we click certain words , just like hyperlink but instead of going to a website it will open our particular GoodNotes. Since you have created hyperlink it won’t require major processing I suppose.

  10. Everyone I know loves the stylus used for the laser pointer writing feature but its not actually a stylus you can use to write notes!! That pen style is so nice and I would love to write my notes with it!

  11. GoodNotes seems to change the page template into the last page of a PDF when I import it to a document.
    I would like GoodNotes to ask me if it changes the template every time I import a PDF.

  12. In addition to being transcribed into an editable document, you can add short text, forming notes with what you underline and what you add. You can see the document in a preview. Later, you can edit, convert to pdf and share the new document.

  13. Hey goodnotes
    I wanted to give one more suggestion , you should also add up the feature of converting , black written on white into white written on black , in order to reduce eye strain.i.e, converting pdf pages
    It will be helpful for me and i hope for others too

  14. I sometimes would like to know the amount of documents in one folder. It would be great if the number of documents would stand underneath the documents in the folder or e.g. next to the date of creation before opening the folder.

  15. This app will automatically download all files every time. My iPad storage is full. I hope you can add a function like Apple Books to delete and download a single file.

  16. It would be great if we could chose the format, which the scanned document should have. Those white bars are failing in its look. Another option would be to make a tool, you can crop your page with and where you can also chose a format. Please do this :)

  17. When more than three tabs are open, the fourth one always reloads when you tap on it. I can live with that, it’s fast, but the annoying thing is that it goes back to standard scale every time. Very annoying.

    I also think that todays iPads can fit more than three tabs in the memory.

  18. On iPad Pro connected to Apple Magic Keyboard, text editing is extremely buggy. It becomes uneditable, unmovable, and sometimes even text defaults aren’t applied.

  19. Along with being able to create in-document hyperlinks, please allow hyperlinks in template pages. E.g. to allow the author / reader to go back to (say) a contents page. For larger documents, the thumbnail feature is utterly useless.

  20. Stop changing the zoom level of the image when it’s being cropped. Many people design images to fit their templates but when brought into Goodnotes have to spend ages resizing.
