  2. The handwriting seems like neat, like auto modifying?I’d like a more smooth handwriting style, I write, and GoodNotes just show what I write, instead of modifying it at first.

  3. The lasso tool should have a mode (switch?) where it only selects objects that are completely enclosed by the lasso area, not anything that intersects with the lasso area. This is very useful for selecting things in complex drawings.

  4. Add ascending/descending nu name of date.
    After IPad was lost, I had to restore a Apple backup to a new iPad. Now the original date the notes were taken has been replaced by the date the restore took place.

    My notes all have a name that starts with YYYYMMDD. So sorting on name shouldn’t be a problem. However.... GoodNotes (4) doesn’t offer the option to switch between ascending/decending list view. I have hundreds of notes and the most recent ones are now at the bottom of the list. That’s a pain in the @ss...

  6. Add a keyboard shortcut, like a CMD+F for searching something in a text. It is very annoying to always have to tap instead of just press some buttons. Thank you!

  11. Es wäre klasse, eine Erinnerungsfunktion zu integrieren. Erinnerungen könnten zu einer Notiz auf dem Papier mit einem Symbol hinzugefügt werden. Als aktive Checkbox wäre ideal. Der betreffende Text könnte mit dem Lasso-Werkzeug markiert und später als Erinnerung angezeigt werden. Die Erinnerungen könnten in einer Übersicht, sortiert nach Notizbüchern, angezeigt werden. Diese Funktion wäre ungemein nützlich!

  13. We can currently only print all pages or print 1 page, but I have lengthy notebooks with my math homework for instance, but I don't know the number of the page my homework starts on, I would like an option in addition to Print all and print this page, that would print starting from my current page. Sure its possible to scroll through the notebook and select the pages you actually want, but as I get further into the term, my notebooks get longer and longer and this becomes more and more tiresome.

  17. Could Goodnotes use the free LAMY iPadOS SDK framework to support all LAMY safari note+ features?

    Lamy is a well-known pen company that recently released an iOS-compatible digital writing stylus, the safari note+, named in part after its iconic fountain pen of the same shape. This stylus features two assignable buttons in addition to pressure sensitivity, palm rejection etc. on apps that support it. Goodnotes does not support those features currently.

    Under a list of recommended apps (Goodnotes included) LAMY calls out that other app's developers could support the safari note+'s features using the free-of-charge LAMY iPadOS SDK framework. Given…

  18. English version:
    I'm excited about the new scalable ruler. Angles to the horizontal can also be easily measured and drawn.

    BUT: Many colleagues, especially in mathematics, at my school and certainly at many other schools lack a scalable set square as a replacement or supplement. This could also be used to measure angles between two straight lines and not just to the horizontal.
    There are some ideas on how to incorporate a set square. However, these set squares do not adjust in size (scaling) when you enlarge or reduce the page. In addition, you cannot draw a line along the…

  20. It would be great to have an option to convert typed text to handwritten notes in your writing style using AI. This could be available in the select bar above the text field when you press on it, with a button labeled Convert to Handwritten Notes.
