  2. 你们好,good notes的开发者们。首先非常感谢你们开发出了这个笔记app,我已经使用了三年,并且非常喜爱。但是最近遇到的一个问题是,iCloud多客户端同步这个功能会自动同步所有的文档,这占用了我的iPhone很多内存空间。所以我建议,可否让多客户端同步的文档变得可以由用户自己选择呢?而不是自动在所有的客户端上同步所有的笔记文档。
    期待你们的回复:)

  7. The copy/paste from iOS to macOS is an incredible feature, which makes it very easy to create diagrams for slides (e.g., in Keynote) in GoodNotes, but sometimes when copying diagrams that contain handwriting, only the text being recognized is pasted on macOS (instead of the actual image). This is frustrating, especially because it's inconsistent. Can you please fix the copy/paste behavior so that it consistently pastes the image from GoodNotes into the destination Mac application?

  8. Can you fix the issue with edge printing. This is not a problem in GN4! Only in GN5 and is the reason I haven’t changed.

    The three images below demonstrate this ongoing issue. The first is the drawing in GN5, the second is the print preview in AirPrint and the third is the actual output.

    In GN4, everything is the same except for the output which prints perfectly right to the edge.

    Also FYI, the printer is set for A4, the GN settings are for A4 and this happens on every AirPrint printer that I have ever used with GN5…

  9. The zoom out function is very limited (to fit one notebook page or slide at most) in GoodNotes windows. More options in document viewing size, e.g. a 2-page or 4-slide layout, could facilitate users to review their materials more easily.

  10. Please provide a way to decrease the size of the PDF's. I mark student work all the time sent to me from iOS devices - the only ones that I can not seem to decrease the size of using every technique in my arsenal are ones from GOODNOTES - inside I am saying, "BADNOTES, BADNOTES" - please fix this - thanks. For example the builtin DOC scanner in the iOS notes creates PDF's that are a very reasonable size. Thanks

  11. It would be great if you could take notes on resubmission. This would allow you to create a quick note and schedule it for a different date and time for processing. Such functions (e.g. reminder functions) are available in apps that manage documents and since notes are created here, it is similar to managing a document. In my opinion, it would be a great function.

  12. running good notes on my private AppleID (=iCloud) and using it on my business Mac, too is today not possible. I'd even open to buy it twice, but I habe only 1 mobile device - so basically though I love good notes, I can't use it anymore.

    Solution:
    Allow to accept shared documents also from Mac App. This way I can still use it on my iPad and iPhone and notes I neet @work could simply be shared with my business AppleID.

    This would provide a solution for many other feature requests such as
    https://feedback.goodnotes.com/forums/191274-customer-suggestions-for-goodnotes/suggestions/40412074-sign-in-icloud-from-goodnotes-app-to-sync-personal
    or the request to use…

  13. I create my notes off professors’ notes, and thus I need an option to go to a subsequent number when I hit enter. I still use Microsoft Word for this because GOODNOTES 5 doesn't offer this possibility. Also, it would be great if you could integrate GRAMMARLY to GOODNOTES 5.

  14. The text should write perfectly on the notebook lines, no more awkward spacing. The angle of the text should be allowed to be manipulated as well. There have been times where I have wanted to put my text vertically or at an angle.

  16. Need favourites form for pencil, highlighter and text.
    I usually use Good note 5 for Studying, and I feel it is not comfortable to using.
    If you make a form that I can set up my favourites pencil especially a typeof pencil and colour and what ever, It would be very useful for people. Also the Text function has problem. when i want to change the font, it is very inconvenience. Because you even didn't have "recently use".
    I really like Good note5. But some functions are really improved.

  18. For teaching (math, biology), it would be great to improve the math geometry mode like this:

    line types: dotted, dashed, solid for graphs etc.

    building an circle / rectangle etc. by fixing the center / edges.
    (radius for example) and enable to draw curved lines in geometry mode.
    or at least just like notability put the edges of an rectangle in the right position

    may be an interface to geogebra.

  19. I know there are several posts like this but I think it would benefit ALL users if we had more pen choices. I would definitely understand if there’s a reason as to why there’s only 2... but I can’t think of one and as this IS a note taking app. Since this replaces the pen and paper method,I would think it makes sense that those creating/updating GoodNotes would want their users to have the most realistic writing experience when using the app. If using pen and paper, there are far more than 2 choices to write with and digital note…

  20. Although the zoom tool is great, I don't use it much. I find that it takes up too much screen real-estate while I'm on landscape mode (which is my preferred iPad orientation) while taking notes. Personally, I would use the zoom tool and find it much more ergonomic if the screen was split in half vertically with the left side showing the entire page that can be zoomed in or out of, and the right side would serve as the space for the zoom tool window.

    I hope you consider this suggestion GoodNotes team. It would be a game-changer for…
