  1. When I wanted to add new colours to the palette by typing in the hex number, I couldn’t see the number as I can’t scroll.

  2. Having to import raster images is a pain - and for some reason even lower res images can make a page become laggy.

  3. Would really appreciate if the flashcard feature becomes much more versatile like anki.
    A few suggestions are
    1. Show number of Flashcard left for the day
    2. Integrate several files to form one Flashcard deck without hampering their current progress
    3. SETTING A NEW CARD LIMIT PER DAY
    4. Customising which cards I would like to see first.

    Basically a lot of anki inspired stuff that could help us replace anki cards with handwritten goodnotes cards. Thanks a lot!

  6. Add an option to increase the speed of draw and hold with the pen. In subjects like math and engineering, there are a lot of graphs and lines to draw. Switching to shape tool every time can be tedious while the pen also feels slow when dealing with such subjects. Apple notes has nailed the hold time in my opinion and seeing an option to change the speed would be appreciated.

  7. Currently the only way to favourite a document is from the file browser. It would be very handy to be able to favourite from within an already open document.

    Also the star/favourite button on thumbnails is not present in search results.

  8. I set my scrolling direction to "horizontal" and I often flip through many lecture slides for review. I would prefer the transition animations to be disabled when I use a physical keyboard to navigate (with arrow keys). The transitions makes it more tedious to skim through the PDF. It would also be great to have a page count more visible on the main screen (rather than hidden inside a menu).

  9. 給開發者:

    Goodnotes無疑是款好用的筆記app,不用我再寫他的優點、以下提出幾處能夠優化之處,麻煩您:

    打字的顏色:

    打字的顏色無法新增顏色,只能每次都重新挑一次色碼,這點希望盡快改善(但可以直接更新成:打字的顏色盤跟畫筆的顏色盤共用,我相信這點更新並不困難,但是能大幅改善使用體驗,非常重要)

    打字換色的快捷鍵:

    畢竟就在打字了,還要用手來換顏色實在太不盡人意了,因此希望能將顏色盤前九個顏色設定九個快捷鍵(例如cmd + Ctrl +數字)(當然顏色要如上一點所說,能夠和畫筆的顏色盤同步才能自訂)

    文字的行距:

    如同大家所知,方格筆記還是最實用的筆記,但是打字的話很難對齊格子,因此修改行距就變得格外重要,但是當前版本的行距修改完後,下次又變回預設值,無法如同字型及文字大小等設定成預設行距,每次調整真的不是很聰明,而且希望行距能用輸入的。

    跨頁問題:

    希望能將選取物直接拖拉到另一頁,而不用一直剪下貼上。在打字方面,希望能如隔壁陣營(Notability)一樣能在整張紙前面有一排能輸入字元的地方,而不用全部都要用文字框,因為毎打大篇的筆記(例如英文單字),如果是用文字框的話,在其中新增個幾行或刪減個幾行,那文字框就又可能超出頁面顯示範圍,這樣就要把多出來的剪下到下一頁,同理,下一頁又會多出來一些,—直剪貼,非常的不人道,希望能新增這個功能(在文件最前面新增一列能插入字元的位置「如同Word, Notability」)

    這幾點是我目前遇到最大的幾個問題,希望開發者能真實的聽到我們使用者的聲音,為使用者們做優化、調整!!!

    我也是真心喜歡這個軟體,才會花那麼多時間打這篇文章,希望你們能理解然後做出更新,我會繼續支持你們,加油!!!

    !!!期待你們的更新!!!

  10. Wenn ich beispielsweise einen Text auf einer linierten Vorlage per Tastatur eintippe, möchte ich, dass sich die Schriftgröße und der Zeilenabstand automatisch dieser Seitenvorlage anpasst. Ansonsten überlappen sich die Zeichen mit den Linien, wodurch es sehr unleserlich wird. Eine andere erdenkliche Lösung wäre, dass man den Hintergrund in 2 Teile unterteilen kann, um für den Textbereich einen freien Hintergrund zu haben.
    Mein Ziel ist es, per Hand- und per Tastatur geschriebene Texte auf einer Seite zu kombinieren und dabei alles gerade und leserlich zu behalten.
    Wie kann ich das lösen?
    Vielen Dank

  12. The laser pointer has a very cool design to it. I would love if they could make the design of how it looks into a pen so you could write notes using that design

  13. 你们在最新版本中去掉了这个选项,无法隐藏状态栏。本来工具栏面积就很大,现在不能隐藏状态栏,导致文档显示面积进一步被压缩。不要为了适配iPados15的分屏键,就让整个软件变得难用。

  14. Support for mathematic tools like a measuring ruler or a protractor of sorts would really help as there is no way to actually measure the line length right now

  15. While studying the notes, pages should have a turning effect just as in a real notebook. Having only a scroll option makes the experience very animated.
    Currently, some pdf readers like pdfViewer support the turning effect but having it in the same note taking app will make it complete for paper like study and note taking experience.

  16. Many users are asking for technical drawing aids (rulers, protractors, triangle rulers, etc.)
    A very quick workaround [not a final solution, but a helpful start] would be to include a sticker collection containing some drawing tools on transparent backgrounds.
    I am aware that now one can create sticker packs by oneself, but not all users might come up with the idea / would know how to do it.

  18. Hi, I find sometimes I could not get my files synced. When I launch the app, I sometimes have to wait for sync, which is waste of time. Especially when I use my device to modify my files, I shift to another device. It will do nothing and I really want a button or something like pull down to refresh to sync all my files manually. I think I could be useful, thanks.

  19. Please get rid of the text box feature in this app that makes you create multiple text boxes and have to manually re-size them. Instead make it so we have continuous typing without text boxes

  20. I'd like to use those gestures when editing images, elements and shapes.
    Those gestures are such a fundamental part of iOS/iPadOS that it feels strange when I constantly try to use them but they don’t work in GoodNotes.
    Especially since other gestures like a three-finger pinch to copy are supported.
