  1. The copy/paste from iOS to macOS is an incredible feature, which makes it very easy to create diagrams for slides (e.g., in Keynote) in GoodNotes, but sometimes when copying diagrams that contain handwriting, only the text being recognized is pasted on macOS (instead of the actual image). This is frustrating, especially because it's inconsistent. Can you please fix the copy/paste behavior so that it consistently pastes the image from GoodNotes into the destination Mac application?

  2. Can you fix the issue with edge printing. This is not a problem in GN4! Only in GN5 and is the reason I haven’t changed.

    The three images below demonstrate this ongoing issue. The first is the drawing in GN5, the second is the print preview in AirPrint and the third is the actual output.

    In GN4, everything is the same except for the output which prints perfectly right to the edge.

    Also FYI, the printer is set for A4, the GN settings are for A4 and this happens on every AirPrint printer that I have ever used with GN5…

  3. I'd love to be able to work on a note both with a stylus and my desktop/keyboard.

    Also this would be super useful to be able to stream the note live, e.g. when screen sharing in a live stream or conference call. I could edit on iPad and simply share my macOS screen.

    Currently I work around this by mirroring my iPad screen to macOS, but it's a hassle.

  4. The zoom out function is very limited (to fit one notebook page or slide at most) in GoodNotes windows. More options in document viewing size, e.g. a 2-page or 4-slide layout, could facilitate users to review their materials more easily.

  5. Although the zoom tool is great, I don't use it much. I find that it takes up too much screen real-estate while I'm on landscape mode (which is my preferred iPad orientation) while taking notes. Personally, I would use the zoom tool and find it much more ergonomic if the screen was split in half vertically with the left side showing the entire page that can be zoomed in or out of, and the right side would serve as the space for the zoom tool window.

    I hope you consider this suggestion GoodNotes team. It would be a game-changer for…

  6. With the new feature of editing shapes (specifically rectangles idk abt the other ones), when i attempt scroll up or down to a different page in my notebook it moves the rectangle around the page instead of scrolling the paper. Perhaps instead the shape-editing feature you added would toggle when u grabbed only the shape with the lasso tool; I feel that would be much better, and follow intuitively for users as well.

    • When I want to Ctrl+f a document, I always need to do Ctrl+f and then click on the search window with the mouse, would be easier when I could Ctrl+f and then immediately start typing (like in all other applications)
    • Same thing happens when I change font size, when typing. I am always thrown out of the current window and have to open an other one.

  10. I wish the highlighters appeared more vibrant and neon on white paper. When I select a really neon highlighter, I usually have to double the highlight to get the desired brightness.

  11. The best way to describe this is like the feature in Notability. You have the option to use scribble which automatically converts your handwriting your text or you can draw in your text box. I’d like to see both these options available since the current text box is really small and difficult to adjust once you have it in place.

  13. It would be great to add Pashto language to OCR and handwriting recognition technology and search field inside docs.
    As Pashto language has about 70 million speakers; around the same as Deutsch language.

  15. Please make smaller query intervals for cards you don't know yet. Even if I have classified half of the flashcards as difficult, the query interval increases significantly.I think it's good that not every day the same flashcards and always only a few flashcards are queried. Nevertheless, the date for the next query should also take into account the cards that were not queried on this day and were previously classified as hard, otherwise they will be queried, for example only in two weeks, which affects the learning progress.

  16. Do not change font and formatting of text when changing the size of the font. When you have text with various formatting (underlining, bolding, or italics), changing the font size of the entire group of text will change the formatting and apply the bold or italics to all characters within the group.
    If the size of entire group of text is changed, only the size of the text should change. The formatting should remain unchanged.
