  1. Please add an option to modify imported documents. It would be really helpful if we could edit documents that we import directly, for example change the text.
    Could allow you to fix typos or expand upon what someone else has written in their documents. Or be able to add more space in between the text to write your own text, take notes on the text you imported or add images between the text.
    Another example: if you import an questions sheet it would allow you to add extra space between two questions to show your working right under the question…

  2. It would be great if we could move a page from a notebook to a different notebook, or a document in a folder to a different folder with ease, without copying and deleting. A move function would be useful to be able to organize my notebooks with ease.

  5. Hello, a close button (X button) for the last open file would be a great advantage. Maybe that can be done with the next update.

    Thank you Stegerwald

  6. The PDF has text underneath and the pen will automatically straighten when drawn under it. Same with highlighting. That way you aren’t thinking about which pen you are using and thinking about the actual information

  7. 目前在非编辑模式下快速点击屏幕边缘无法连续翻页,必须等当前翻页动画结束后才能触发下一个翻页动作。这样大幅减小了翻页速度,使得想要快速翻许多页时只能借助缩略图或者蓝牙键盘,十分不便。而在GoodNotes 5的旧版本中是可以实现上述的快速翻页的 ,希望可以恢复这个特性。

  11. I do understand that it makes sense for the document to pop back into central view when dragging to the side, but when handwriting at the document’s edge, this becomes an annoyance.

    How about a new action/feature where the documents still pop back into central view under normal circumstances, but when the user really drags the document far off to the side, the document stays there at the side of the screen. Now the user can handwrite comfortably, with his hand resting on the black part (background) of the screen, and the document on the other side of the screen.…

  12. As my notes expand to hundreds of pages, I think that having a reverse page view would be helpful to find the latest note without scrolling much.

  13. You should add the possibility to view files’ and folders’ sizes in the goodnotes app. Also, you could add pages counter to see the total amount of pages in a certain notebook and which page we’re viewing (page 15/20). Also, you could add the possibility of viewing on the home page the total amount of notebooks in the app.

  16. Çok sayfadan oluşan dokümanlar için çerçeveler özelliğini kullanıyoruz. Ancak çerçeveler ile bir sayfaya gittikten sonra, tekrar başka bir sayfaya gitmek için çerçeveler sekmesini açtığımızda, çerçeveler in en başı çıkıyor ve tekrar aşağı inmek zorunda kalıyoruz. Mesela cevap anahtarı olan bir soru bankasında soru çözerken, soru sayfası ile sondaki cevap anahtarı arasında git gel yapmak zorlaşıyor. Bence çerçeveler sayfası açıldığında kullanılan sayfa en ortada olacak şekilde açılmalı. En baş sayfa en üstte olmamalı.

  17. i use goodnotes to write all my class notes. even though it performs really well its very sad that its has only a handful of fonts of which most of them are creepy.
    so i used custom fonts to get the job done. but after ipados 14 apple limited font access by system fonts only. as a result even after installing custom profiles i am not able to see the installed fonts. many other apps like procreate can still use installed fonts..the new goodnotes in ipados 14 fails to do so which frustrates me a lot. kindly update the app…

  18. When adding a new document (PDF) to Goodnotes, it would great to check if the document is not already in the library (Apple Books does that already).

  20. In other apps when you scroll at speed, and then contact the trackpad with your fingers, the scrolling stops immediately. However, in GoodNotes, scrolling does not stop even when fingers contact the trackpad.

    Having a scrolling behavior that stops exactly when you want it to makes it much easier to quickly see a page as you scroll so that you know whether you’re on the right page yet, and also allows you to quickly scroll a single page down with a flick of the fingers, and then stop it immediately. It may not seem like much in writing, but it…
