  2. 是否可以在工具栏加上一个锁定当前页面不可编辑的功能?因为页面长期处于可编辑状态很多时候在复习阅读笔记的时候会不小心触碰到里面的内容,有时还会误删一些东西或者不小心打乱了当前页面的排版。这样笔记还要从新编辑一下。如果有一个当前页面锁定功能就可以防止这些误操作。希望得到贵公司回复。谢谢。

  3. Please add a writing section tool to make space in the document, as on OneNote. The Lasso toll takes a little too long

  6. I love the app and use it as my main PDF reader on iPad, but when it comes to the Mac version scrolling seems really buggy. Please could you enhance this?

  8. Currently we are limited to 2mm max for pen weights which is simply too small for some projects.

  9. I wish goodnotes can support fast slide switching between pages rather than the normal continuous scrolling to change page.

    The sliding bar can be horizontal or vertical, depend on what setting we set in the scrolling direction in the setting.

    The feel on this sliding feature will be more like how to flip on the book to find the page we are looking for. This feature would definately improve and speed up working with the app.

    I have attach the video to show what I mean in sliding between pages.

  10. As a mathematics student, I wish GoodNotes can implement a graphing function, because it is so difficult to draw a good sine wave.

  11. When I try to write curves in the app, it often turns into few straight lines. I am pretty sure I didn’t write something like that. Really hoping that there are options to turn it off, so that I can write curves normally.
    Also, streamline option would be great as well.

    Writing experience in GoodNotes definitely has room for improvement

  12. Bring back support for 3rd party styluses! Specifically, SonarPen. According to its Kickstarter, goodnotes was in the beta stage for officially supporting it--what happened?

  14. Dear Sir or Madam,

    I really enjoy goodnotes, especially to study.
    But there're things that would make it much more enjoyable.
    As an engineering student I write a lot of formulas, so I was wondering how nice it would be, if goodnotes would recognize my written formulas and change them into good-looking formulas.

    The other thing that would be nice, would be a flying or placeable color palette (maybe it flies near to the pencil or to a place where the user puts it)

    I hope my wishes finds you well. :)

    Kind regards

    Dominik Müller

  15. Make it possible to zoom an image while cropping so that it can be cropped easier. Especially needed when the dimension of the rectangle I want to crop is very small.

  16. The largest highlighter option isn’t big enough and it would be nice to have an option that is double the size.

  17. I use the highlighter a lot to fill in diagrams and it would be so much easier if I didn't have to do it in one go. Sine it gets darker when it overlaps, the filled in color is only uniform if my pencil stays on the page the whole time.

  18. The dark blue colour menubar at the top of the app is:
    (a) irritating
    (b) takes up a lot of space

    Please add an option to hide it.

  19. Now we only can save 3 pen colors and 3 pen thickness, but I would love to have more, something like 5, there is place tu put them, and we can have a setting of how many are showed, so who wants to have 3 can have 3 and who needs 5 can have them

  20. Sometimes typing or writing out things from other documents or textbooks takes too long. I’d like to just snap a picture of text and have it converted into text that I can edit as necessary.
