  1. Es wäre hilfreich, wenn es die Lernkarten auch als linierte oder karierte Lernkarten geben würde. Dann könnte man handschriftlich schöner darauf schreiben.

    Thanks for sharing your idea. We will add more Flash Card templates in future updates. In the meantime, please import your own custom templates and configure them as flash cards. You can do so in Menu > Notebook Templates > Edit > … > Toggle the “Flash Card” button

  2. Would be great if it can also be sorted out by colours.

    That way, we can simply glance at what we've highlighted on a single page.

  3. IOS Sharing direct to Goodnotes irregardless of what the source application is. Currently Evernote and OneNote appear to be able to receive just about any share from any application on MacOs and IOS. Screenshot attached of a sample of what they are able to do. I also have a screen shot of how I can send an application to either Evernote or OneNote. Being able to share an output directly from an app into Goodnotes removes a 1 or 2 step necessity that would require a user to transform the output into pdf and then go into Goodnotes and import…

  4. I really love the good notes app but the experience if often frustating when I'll have to erase something. I think if there is a functionality like strike to erase it will be of lot of ease , it has to be like I scribble on the text and the text gets erased

  6. E.g Automatically switch black to white pen color when opening a black (template) document
    Or have a different pen color palette for black template document (instead of a global constant)

  7. I write with lined paper, but would like to remove the lines afterwards. It's just not feasible to do this at present, having to change the template of every page one by one.

  8. This was also listed under "Automatic Action Item" back in 08/19 - but I think it should be considered.

    I have many notebooks (one for each customer). I want the ability to mark written text as an "Action Item" in any notebook (Use the "lariat" tool?) and they automatically get added to an "Action Items" notebook so they are all in one place.

    Each item is listed under a separate bullet and can be deleted once completed.

    Having the option once lassoed to create a calendar reminder / update would be nice, but probably far-reaching at this point.

  9. Now it is very difficult to make a perfect square with the shape tool. It would be nice if you add pre defined shapes or improve the shape recognition.
    Also a two fingers gestures to resize and rotate the figures would be awesome.

  10. Create palletes of colour pallette that go together. Similar to what Microsoft Office has, with various colour themes. This will be great.

    And then allow user to great their own colour themes. Where they can add up to like 10 colours into one theme.

  11. When I import about 5 photos, the PDF backup file becomes more than 40MB in size.

    I would like to have the ability to resize and compress images.

  12. It would be so cool if you could add sticky mage markers (see attachment) to your notebooks and PDF documents – just like in a "real" notebook. If you "click" on a page marker, you jump to that section. But the difference is, this does not have to be a structure point or something.

    Also, I cannot use bookmarks, because I cannot arrange those in several categories which I would definitely need.

    Also, this would be quite handy.

  15. Currently there is no way to write in a straight line using unlined paper in Goodnotes. A line guide built into the Zoom box would do the job nicely. This way you would be able to write straight on unlined or blank paper and never worry about your handwriting getting too big or too small as you write on blank paper. A line guide would allow you to safely write neatly in a straight line on blank pages.

  16. Sometimes I import the same image more than once onto a page. The first time, the image will be of a certain size. The second time I import it, it comes in larger. This is very puzzling. 9-handle resize as well as alignment options would be welcome. And like others, I don't understand why images come in so large. Even when they're made pretty small.

  19. More pens on the top tool bar -- I like to have a certain color for certain parts of my notes for medical school. I.e. green for treatment, red for disorder, blue for diagnosis, and then I write everything else in black so I keep having to go back and forth. Instead of like 3 choices being available at one time, having 5 or 6 would be awesome

  20. Like PDFExpert, a Scrollbar which you can drag and jump very fast to a specific spot. Unique would be that the scrollbar appears on the opposide of what you setted regarding right-or left-handed.
    Thanks GoodNotes time great job, I'm looking forward for all the new features.
