  3. 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…

  6. 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!!!

  7. I'm used to always copying & pasting links into my notes in order to support my research. It's frustrating that I can't do this in GoodNotes. If I copy & paste a link into a text box, it wont be clickable. Please consider making this feature a top priority in future updates because it is required for students, teachers and people doing research. My notes aren't as useful when I can't include links that will work. I really just want to be able to tap on a link to open it and then tap back to go to the GoodNotes…

  9. I use different size papers for different notebooks and have to change fonts in each one. One size does not fit all. Being able to have a default font for each notebook would be great. Also, some notebooks I use vertical scrolling, and some horizontal. Different defaults there would be great too. Other than that it is perfect for me. . Keep up the good work. .

  10. I'd love to be able to write in full screen mode - sometimes I'm just doing maths exercises, all I need is a black pen and double tap to erase. I just wish we could have the read-only mode screen real estate, while writing. I don't need the toolbar or document tabs most of the time!

  12. I hate having to move my hand all the way to the top of the screen to change colors and then go back to the bottom of the screen to continue taking notes. I would like it so that I could just pop out the color tool bar and move it to the bottom of the screen so I can easily color-code my notes. Having it to the side would be useful as well.

    I attached an example of what it could look like.

  14. A "back to reading" option when browsing in the goodnotes files system would be most appreciated.

    So say I leave a document I was reading in order to browse through the GoodNotes system, it would be nice to have a button which would send me back to where I was reading when I left the document.

  15. Sometimes, I wanna to edit the page after I did notes. Like add a picture. If GoodNotes has a function can put handwriting notes into a transparent layer, I can move it to anywhere, even move to another page. So that I don’t have to erase and write again.

  16. If we can use dual window in portrait mode, it will very useful and convenient.
    Many students want this function.
    Apple didn't provide top&bottom split view, but if 'GoodNotes' provide this autonomously in software, I will love you guys and girls.

    dual window multi screen

  17. I´m using the option flash cards on the ipad frequently, but it would be really great to improve this tool for usage on laptops. The cards, and shown answers, are really small, so its often impossible to check if you´ve got everything right, especially when the cards are rather full and the textsize is small.

  18. Enable different search highlight colors. I tend to use orange highlighter (best for multiple layers for emphasis) and the search highlighter gets drowned out with it.

  19. I am a user living in Japan.

    There is a request. It is a function to display in a spread. This is not about spread views. I want to display two consecutive pages like a book in one app. It will be very convenient when reading one document on the horizontal screen of the iPad.

    I am not good at explaining in English, so I attached an image file.

    Thank you for the great app. I will continue to use it.

  20. It will be much more convenient if Goodnotes allows users to add personal colours to the presets section for text boxes. This feature is available for highlights and handwritings but not the text boxes!! :(
