  1. I get note templates and homework packets by lessons for classes, and I like to keep all the material of the same category in the same document by inserting the new lesson notes or the homework at the end of the document. It is a hustle to scroll to the first page of the new note template/ homework (when they are multi-paged documents) to add then add it to the outline. Having the first page automatically added to the outline with the new document's name as the heading would be really helpful!

  2. 2024/1/12 取り込んだPDFの内容がすべて真っ白になり、その後手書きで書いたものしか表示されなくなりました。
    添付の画像は、もとのPDFには文章が書いてあり、下線を引いたのですが、下線しか残っていない状態です。バグの修正をお願いします。

  3. Hi, I love Goodnotes but one feature I think it would really benefit from that I have seen in other apps is the ability to change the style after writing. Particularly, I mean being able to change the stroke settings (e.g. change solid line to dashed/dotted and vice versa) or the pen type (from either fountain or brush to ball - I don't think it would work the other way around though). So perhaps the menu where we can currently change the colour of the line, could be changed so that you have the option to change these other elements…

  5. I would like an option to edit, remove and customise text like in Adobe or pdf gear so that we can use only goodnotes for all work related stuff.

  6. We should be able to add multiple elements or stickers and make them the same size with a precision sizing tool. If I put down 3 memo pad stickers and I want all 3 to be the same size, there shouldn’t be a constant resizing from the corner sizer. We could click on the sticker or element and put in a font size or pixel dimensions.
    Or an option as we are placing it to choose the size. Either way something to keep stickers and other elements consistent in size from page to page and even on the same page…

  7. PDF around the page, not very smooth, can you improve the page effect? I'm referring to the sensitivity of PDF page-turning, as I didn't have this problem with Notability

  9. When starting up the app on the Mac, the window always has the same size.
    So, always the first action is to resize it, so I can see my relevant folders.
    If the app would just keep the size across restarts, it would be a more fluent work experience.

  10. When arranging objects I would like to be able to send back and forward some items between items. If I have more than two overlapping objects, it’s a pain to place objects in the order I want. For example, there are apps the send the object completely to the back or front, but I can also send forward or backwards the object not entirely to the back. I don’t want to send back an object but then have to send front the other and the other to have them in the correct arrangement. This happens when working a collage or…

  12. Hello, I would like to transfer the passages in the text that I have marked with the highlighter into a summary. The summary should work in the same way as in the LiquidText or MargineNote 4 program.

  13. I would like the highlight tool to work as a copy select tool works. When moving the pen along page we will be able to highlight. As well as implementing tapping to remove highlights.

    Instead of having to lift pen to move down a row to highlight you just glide over the selected text you would like to highlight.

    It would be much more efficient this way. I noticed this inconvenience when switching to apples book reading tool and highlighting in there was much more seamless. Thank you for taking the time to read this if you did.

  15. Now that audio recording is available, you also need to add functionality to allow the audio to be exported out of the note as a separate mp3. I use this function on another note-taking program so that I can have the audio transcribed. I can't use Good Notes for my job until this is possible, so I'm staying tuned to see if this is added in the future. Not sure if other people are this specific. Adding this and voting for all the suggestions that are close to this idea.

  17. I’ve been using the app extensively for note-taking and organization, and I believe that the addition of a toggle menu feature would be incredibly beneficial. This feature could streamline navigation and provide a more efficient way to access different sections within the app. By allowing users to toggle between various menus seamlessly, it would make the overall experience more intuitive and user-friendly.

  19. I’m loving the flashcard feature so far, but I have a friend that uses another app that let him to allocate photos and text in the same card and i thought this ideia would improve a lot my studies, and another suggestion that i have in mind is to allow the share feature in the flash cards, because i would like to have a group of studies with my colleagues, tks!
