  1. Editing text in text fields should work the way it does in Pages or Word because that’s what people are used to. It’s confusing that GoodNotes has a different way of handling this and it throws me off every time I’m working with text fields.
    In Pages and Word, clicking a text field once selects it. Then you can click it again to get the cursor to appear so that you can start typing. To deselect the text field, you just click anywhere else in the page.
    However, in GoodNotes, after clicking a text field once to select it, clicking…

  2. the function of cut, copy, delete etc when selecting text,images and such are so far given in a horizontal manner.
    I would like to suggest to switch the display of the options to a list, instead of a long horizontal pop up.

    even after so much use of the app, it’s not intuitive to my eyes, and if by chance more users would feel the same, it might make the UX more smooth , thanks in advance ;)

  3. I've read the work-around of using two windows, but sometimes I want to zoom into a particular part of my visualization and lock this part, so students can better read this part. And at the same time I might have to zoom in even more so that I can better add aspects. It would be extremely helpful to have this lock-feature again. Especially on a small screen multiple windows result in having not enough space to actually do what I want to do.
    I've seen you closing this request several times, but I wanted to emphasize that the trick is…

  5. As safari shows all the opened tabs in a grid view.

    Need grid view of all the opened documents.

    Thus it becomes very easy to navigate between multiple tabs of opened documents.

  12. Needless to say, there are many advantages of goodnotes. Here is a Chinese user who loves handwriting:
    I am a student who attaches great importance to handwriting experience. I like the experience of writing on paper and yearn for the convenience of taking notes on iPad. Therefore, I have been looking for a note taking software that can not only facilitate me to take notes, but also retain my experience of writing on paper to the greatest extent
    After trying many software such as goodnotes, notability, marginnotes3, prodrafts and 印象笔记, I found that the function of goodnotes is the most…

  13. It is unnecessarily frustrating that when you select an item in the toolbar, you can't select that toolbar item again to deselect/get out of its menu. Your only options are to tap the top of the screen, or tap the page, which writes on it immediately and then you have to erase that. It's such a dumb and simple problem to fix, cmon.

  14. Please remove the ability to move a line with a finger. If I want to make changes to the document I will use my pencil. The finger is only for scrolling/navigating. I dont want to always switch to the „reading mode“ before I scroll around in the document.

  17. I currently „struggle“ a lot with this.
    What I mean is, it would be nice if you are able to cut of the end of your paper. For example, in school you have to work on a task and write something down but the next task is a document. Then there’s a lot of space between the handwritten task and the document.
    It would be great if you could be able to shorten the page and not just change the layout, because I often don‘t know in the beginning if I have to use a whole page or just a…

  19. The current convert feature (handwriting to text) requires me to manually select the text from the pop-up. Can you please make it so that I can directly “copy as text” (similar to Apple notes)? This would be so much more convenient since I often send snippets of my notes to my friends via chat (in text format) and also I sometimes want my handwritten title as an outline, so I need to get the text.

  20. It would be great to set different sizes for the zoom window like we can for the pens. This way I won't have to worry if I change the size by accident. I like my notes to be uniform and when I have to keep readjusting the zoom window size it's frustrating.
