  2. I like the dot grid because it’s more subtle than the squared grid, but unfortunately the dot grid is huge now and it sucks! I’d like to submit an idea to have the dot spacings be adjustable. This would be nice to have for the graphed and lined paper as well!

  3. GoodNotes takes forever to Sync updated documents between two devices, forever being several hours. This contradicts the entire functionality. Had this problem with several different devices and versions (since several years).
    I find it infuriating that I am forced to update Goodnotes and pay money again and again and this issue is still not fixed.

  4. I am using this application in Japanese.
    Japanese has horizontal writing (top left to right) , like English, etc., and vertical writing (top right to bottom). Currently, it is very difficult to input text in vertical writing mode, so I would like you to add a ruled note for vertical writing. Also, if possible, we would appreciate it if you could add support for input mode.
    Please implement this in the Goodnote Shop, even if it is sold for a fee.

  5. Not sure if anyone has suggested this. I am using Goodnotes on both my Mac and iPad. It takes quite a while for the notes to sync between the 2 devices. And sometimes it does not even sync. It would be good if Goodnotes can use Mac as a local cloud server, and notes can be synced seamlessly.

  6. Liebes Goodnotesteam:

    Ich habe einige Ideen, die zur Verbesserung der App beitragen könnten:

    -wie schon bereits genannt wäre es sehr praktisch, wenn man das Layout mehrer Seiten auf einmal ändern könnte
    - es wäre Praktisch wenn man Bildschirmfotos direkt in Sticker umwandeln könnte und nicht den Umweg über die Galerie gehen müsste
    - Es wäre zudem super praktisch, wenn das Geschrieben in Text umgewandelt werden könnte, dass Layout des Geschriebenen aber beibehalten würde
    - Eine Tabellenfunktion wäre super
    -Eine Handletteringfunktion wäre auch super
    - Es wäre toll, wenn Sticker aus der Vorlage von der Größe auch seitlich in die Länge…

  7. It would be awesome if when I drew two rectangles using the shape tool, Goodnotes could recognize one of the shapes has an intersecting border with the other one, and combine the two shapes while just keeping the exterior borders.

    Or, instead of automatically recognizing the intersections, create an "erase up to intersection" option for the eraser specifically for shapes.

    This could also be used to create a wider variety of shapes without having to program in recognition algorithms for semi circles, plus signs, ect.

  9. Hello, good note developers.
    I'm a good note user of Windows.
    I'm currently using Surface Pro, and I'm using the third generation of Surface Pen. Currently, the Good Note for Windows supports the noose function with a side button. Please make it possible to customize the function of the side button. Side buttons can be customized with various functions such as changing an eraser, changing a pen type, and changing color, not a snare. I really like the ability to use the eraser on the back. If I can customize the side buttons I want, it will be a more…

  11. Like convert to math, make it possible to convert a selection of even a whole page and convert it directly to a textbox with typed text.

  12. It would be good to be able to search in the flashcard document to make sure you don't have a duplicate flashcard.

    If you have flashcard documents for different topics of one subject you cannot duplicate these into one bigger document to learn the whole subject in one sitting. At the moment you need to type every card again if you want the same card in a new document

  13. From what I remember, before one of the last updates, the select button was in the toolbar. Its a bit of a pain (ok a big pain for me) when I have scrolled down halfway through the files on my iPad and then now need to scroll up to the top to hit the select button to move, copy, etc. files. It should always be on the screen when in the folder management sections of the app.

  14. Goodnotes 6: speed up use of Lasso tool conversion to text (probably more commonly used than maths conversion ) by allowing the user to set a global default for Lasso conversion to either a) text only or b) text and Maths.

    I would expect most users to set a default of “text” and thereby speed up lasso tool conversion. Those who require both can set default to text+maths

  17. Just a simple Addition to Goodnotes. The ability to see all open Documets and Files from the Homescreen, instead of having to open a file. This could be a separate folder under the marketplace for example which expands to show all the currently open notes

  18. Recently accessed folders deserve to be put more noticeable. While sorting in alphabetical order and type do include folder, isn’t it great to get folders included? Especially if you work with folders a lot?

  20. Ca serait cool de pouvoir realiser nos tableaux.
    Le mieux serait d’avoir l’émoticone au niveau de la barre du haut (à côté du symbole de stylo, gomme, laser, …)
