  2. Hi! I’m in medical field, constantly studying and reading PDF files along side-taking notes, so I use the iPad split screen feature everyday.

    Whenever I use the split-screen feature, I cannot easily access the colors of my pens unlike if I were in the 2/3th split view or full screen view of the Goodnotes App. oI have to click the upper right portion to change the characteristics of my pens which would waste a lot of my time since I take a lot of color-filled notes.

    My go-to PDF reader application, “Documents: allows me to set specific pen characteristics in…

  3. Currently the only login option is Login with Apple, which many users can’t access. A simple email login and/or Login with Google would be great.

  5. When I search up text, striked out words still appear in the results. When I strike out text I tend to not use them or want to see them. I also posted an idea erase pdf notes which would also solve this problem.

  6. I would love to have the possibility to hide or resize sticky notes very small when tapping on them. On á second tap the sticky notes then could get big again.

  7. As a planner and student, it would be so helpful to have an adjustable opacity for pictures that we insert. This would allow text underneath to show or for layering stickers or for block scheduling. It would really improve planning on the iPad. Thank you!

  8. Ich muss das jetzt mal sagen da es im Appstore nicht geht. Bitte entfernt den In-App-Kauf es gibt so viele Nachteile vor allem für die die die App vorher GEKAUFT habe. ich benutze die App fast jeden Tag deswegen spreche ich aus Erfahrung und in meiner Klasse in der Schule benutzt auch jeder GoodNotes und ich sehe das schon kommen dass irgend jemand GoodNotes aus Versehen deinstalliert und wieder installiert und da alle das damals gekauft haben als man es noch kaufen musste wäre GoodNotes nach dem Installieren WEG. außerdem kann man die App nicht mehr mit der Familie teilen…

  9. Hello guys, I've been using both notability and goodnotes for over almost 2 years now and latelly notabilitu has been pulling appart, but over notability, gn still has the versatility of the app, but theres a tool that i use everysingle day and that it is soooo much better on notability than on goodnotes, thats not even fair.. it’s the hold to snap / auto shape tool. I know we already have the snap to other shapes feature, but that is basically useless unless you’re using straight lines.. I would like for you to implement some kind of powerfull shape…

  12. It would be so much easier to maneuver between notes if there was a sidebar present at the side (that you could hide/show so as not to impede on work flow) and it would show all your folders and the notes in the corresponding folders.

    So if you needed a specific document all you have to do is tap the side or swipe left and you'll find all your folders ready to go! bam bam bam!

  13. Undo/Redo hotkey has been removed recently.
    I'm really frustrated.

    Can you re-add Cmd-Z/Cmd-Shift-Z hotkey?

    It's definitely mandatory hotkey for keyboard users, and it's the most frequently used hotkey. with the pencil on my right hand, and with Cmd-Z hotkey on my left hand, it was a perfect way to draw and erase something almost at the same time.

    if not, I have to click "undo" icon.
    That's very inconvenient for ipad-keyboard users. Pls... ㅠ.ㅠ

  14. Would be awesome to be able to draw curved lines with many curves (concave, convex). The feature should allow the user to draw the line roughly with the apple pencil and smooth out the curve to make it look good. This would be similar to the "free-form" feature in Microsoft Visio.

    An example of such lines is shown in the attached PDF.

    Thanks :)

  15. I don’t know if this is just me, but I noticed that when using a sticker from my saves, it's size varies depending on the zoom percentage that I'm on currently. For example, when I'm on a document while zoomed out and use a sticker and readjust it's position after zooming in, it's size seems to get different. This is really unsatisfying, because I use the stickers option for bullet points, as there isn’t an option yet to do that separately.

  16. The ability to select the number of flashcards to be shown during a session, that way you can slowly increase the number of cards you study each time. For example, I can choose to study 5, 10, or 20 cards out of 40 flashcards. Then once those are learned, I can add more by increasing the amount of cards.

  18. I kept being annoyed at auto advance everytime I use it… It sorts of breaks my concentration as I write small words into the page. Right now, I have it disabled. It would be nice if we can have the option available as an icon since most people likes to use it.

    The blue frame for auto advance should be bigger as it is easier to see the flow of words towards the edge of the page, rather than it being way in edge of left side. Even left-handed people will benefit it too.

  19. There should be a feature to erase the imported pdfs in a way that will clean the places we do not want. Erase with a pen, but it can also erase embedded information in a pdf. Like Adobe Scan cleaner feature.
