  1. In GoodNotes for Mac, enable 'page up' and 'page down' keys to quickly flip through the pages. The up/down arrow keys are performing continuous scrolling and they are too slow.

  3. Add a "Duplicate" item to the selection pop-up menu so one can duplicate a selection with one tap instead of having to first select copy, then press-and-hold to show the pop-up menu, then select paste.

    The duplicated selection’s position could be determined by available canvas space or simply be shown slightly overlapping the original selection.

    I’ve attached an image showing the desired behaviour.

  5. It has been long time since GoodNotes announced on Twitter that they are planning to bring the app on different platforms but there is no app for Windows and android after years.

    If you can’t sync to Windows and android using iCloud please use Google Drive or any other third-party cloud service and please bring app to Windows, android and Web. Microsoft has already achieved this way earlier and should not be difficult for you as well.

    Every time I brought up this issue, you guys give same reason that you are looking for good engineers, is it the case…

  6. I use the app to teach mathematics and computer science lectures to college students in online mode. One very important feature that is missing at present is that students have to use their attention to determine WHERE on the slide or notebook I am presently writing (i.e. they need to determine where new writing is showing up). Whereas, in a physical classroom, it's easy to see where the professor is and where in the blackboard he/she is writing or modifying a diagram. It would be nice if one could have a big red arrow show up wherever I am writing…

  8. I really like your app and I think it has superb interface and features but what frustrates is that I can't use its full potential because it doesn't support my mother tongue. for instance I can't search notes containing a certain word because my language is not supported which is really dissapointing since Noteshelf app supports over 120 different languages including croatian.

    Please consider my proposal.
    kind regards

  9. As example, we could have the option to open a pdf inside the notebook, making easier make slices from the book to notebook (no need to save in the gallery or copy the image, just select and slide). Thais way, when the image copied get clicked at the notebook, the book reopen in the same page (they keep linked). Just Like a referenced cell.

  10. Currently, documents and notebooks are sorted by the time they were last modified, and folders are sorted by creation date. If possible, we should split these categories. Users should be able to sort by "last modified," which should include the last time contents within a folder were modified and also by date, which is by the date created. This way, it's consistent for all items Good Notes.

  12. Have the ability to zoom and have a part of the screen be the outside of the document, so that you could rest your hand, whilst editing the edge of the document.

    E. g. the second screenshot is from a table I was filling out and when I got to the rightmost column I couldn't write in it as easily as in the other ones. I am right-handed, so in those screenshots the area is on the right side of the page, but this should work for left-handed people as well, if the area was on the left-hand side of…

  13. Please add a feature that puts text on top of the highlight whenever text is highlighted. Currently, only black colored writing shows up on top of the highlight. With any other color, the highlight goes on top of the words, which means when I write new text, the color of the words look uneven. Thanks.

  16. When you select a paper template of any size e.g. A4, letter, etc. by default have the paper fill the screen width so it's not necessary to expand it. I can double-tap the paper template and it fits screen size but having it fit without double-tap would save so much time when you change from portrait to landscape and back again. Thanks. PS Notability has this feature.

  17. The flash card studying window on a mac is not using the screen size. The window on an iMac is so small that the cards are only barely readable even if the application is opened as a full screen window.

  18. I love the feature that if you draw a freehand line and keep your pen on the screen then it snaps to a straight line. But sometimes I draw/write something complicated and leave the pen down too long by mistake. I then have to erase and start again. It would be nice to be able to undo the snapping to a straight line and return to whatever I originally drew rather than return to before I started drawing.

  19. Many GoodNotes users want to share documents with people who do not have the app, so it would be incredible if you added the option to share through a link so that anyone from any browser can view it and download it in pdf format, and that when we are modifying the file the other person reload the page and the changes made will appear.

  20. Ich hätte gerne die Möglichkeit, Ordner für eine bessere Übersichtlichkeit einzufärben. Und auch die einzelnen Registerkarten würde ich gerne einfärben können, um schneller etwas zu finden.
