  4. It seems there has been a change in a text box function.
    The text box didn't move until I selected [T] or text function.
    But now, with a slight touch with my hand or finger, the text box is selected and moves around. This is very inconvenient because I usually take notes by typing. I have more than 150 pages written down and now whenever I try to review the materials with my apple pencil, it moves.

    In the video I intended to touch it with my hand because this happens suddenly. I hope you fix this problem.

  6. It would be fantastic to be able to quickly access the links in the PDFs by touching the screen two times with the pencil or once with the finger

  8. Merging pdf, either between existing goodnotes files or those in my files, is something I do fairly regularly. I have to usually turn to online sources that are sometimes a little sketchy looking rather than paying high fees to do something that should be simple. I would love to see this ability added to goodnotes!

  9. This way, each heading can have a user-defined default color, and you don't have to change it every time.

    This would pair nicely with keyboard shortcuts.

  10. Drawing Mathematical equations on a graph by hand is pretty exhausting. Especially, when Goodnotes doesnt really make it possible to draw them accurate.

    I would love to add a window to my GoodNote document where I can interactively plot a function like f(x)= x + ln(x).
    A kind of GeoGebra implementation in the document would be cool.
    That would help all the people who
    -are still in school
    -are studying something scientific
    -are working in a technical profession

  11. I have a notebook I’ve purchased that I want to get the original formatting and I can’t do that because it doesn’t show up in the store anymore and I would like to see my in app purchases history to redownload a new version of the notebook I already have. There needs to be a search history and search feature in the app so we can find these things.

  12. I use GoodNotes for my mechanical engineering studies. For this it would be nice if a few more features were added.

    I would find the following features important:

    -ruler with a scale and angle setting

    -Predefined shapes (arrow, semicolon line, square, circle, etc...)

    -Mathematical paper templates (graph paper, squared paper with 5mm boxes)

  14. When using an image in background for annotaion two things would be great:
    - disable/lock image in background so one can select/move/copy... notes made on
    that image without affecting the image itself.

    • allow grouping elemts s.t. those elements are selected together. Image with notes on it is always moved etc. together with notes so layout is preserved

  15. The topic says it all really …

    Currently the app preferences captures a setting for your language, with respect to handwriting recognition.

    My suggestion is to extend that data point to also apply to the default language used when creating a new “Study Set” of flash cards.

    The need to change this every time seems a failing on the part of the design…

  17. With the release of Goodnotes 6, I would like to have a feature where the voice recording in iOS can be shared with the Windows version. This will be such a good improvement and easier for anyone with different devices.

  18. It is impossible to take the pen, the eraser or the highlighter without tapping on the toolbar when using the “slide over” (third option in the split view options). It becomes very hard and troublesome when I want to take the pen again after using the lasso tool for a very short time. Because I have to tap the toolbar to take the pen or the eraser again so I have to close the sliding screen and open it again after I take the tool I want. Moreover, closing and opening the sliding screen causes a cancellation of the zoom…
