  2. Ipad用戶,以前在不使用編輯工具時也可選取文字。更新後要在使用編輯工具下才能選取文檔的文字,操作變得極不方便且不能用apple pencil選取文字!建議改回原來版本!

  3. For example, I have a paragraph converted from handwriting to text, but I only want to move a few of the words, it would be nice if the lasso tool could move only the selected text.

    Now the lasso tool if the text is converted together, when using the lasso, move a few of the words, it will move the whole paragraph together, (because the text converted together, the app will think in the same text box)

  4. I hope that the handwritten conversion text can be replaced directly onto the converted text instead of needing to copy and paste.

  6. Hello there!
    I wanna ask you to change the word "move to trash" to something like "delete" or something like that, I don't like the fact that you say about some notes "trash".
    As you can know sometimes we delete a valuable note just because it is duplicated or some other reason not because it is a trash

  7. When we study Lange text books using good notes navigation is a bit difficult eg we should have the go to previous page option other wise we have a tough time going back and forth between pages. Abo book marks can be made of more than one colour so that book marked pages can be categorized.

    Lastly the long press option to highlight or underline in readonly mode is highly desirable but has been taken of in the updates

  8. Added the function of creating folders in the Favorites, so that the collection page of different files can be sorted and summarized, users can more intuitively and quickly find the corresponding collections of the corresponding files to avoid the problem of cluttering different collection files in Favorites.

  9. Instead of just having three line thicknesses for your pen tool, please can we have a plus and minus button with more variations? When I write, the smallest line thickness is too thin and the medium is too thick. There’s no happy medium

  10. Add template with alternating borders. First page big border left, second page big border on the right. I know there is a symmetric template with big borders, but need all space on die page. The problem comes up when I punch it and put it in a folder

  11. For scientists, students and others it is almost necessary to add subscript and superscript for many formulars and equotations.

    For my personal demand it‘ll be also awesome if you add blocktext to the text formatting settings :)

  12. I frequently use different fonts for titles, the body of my text, subtitles, and also, depending on the notebook I am using. Could you create a feature that let us save more than one default text so that it is easier to change the format of the things I mentioned above? I find the lack of this feature to be the most frustrating thing with Goodnotes. Otherwise, I love the app. Thanks!

  13. Or just add additional buttons to do those things separately. Or better: give us the option to activate those additional buttons.

    From time to time i don't want to change the seize of objects while i want to change their angle. Right now, for example, I am using a geometric ruler which isn't a standard tool for Goodnotes right now. For measuring angles and lengths, i need to turn and move the ruler without changing it's size. It would be great if I could turn this object on a fast way without having to click as many times as I…

  15. When writing out long texts it would be great that when the page is full, the text continues on the next page with the same format, like in Microsoft word.

  16. I'd love to see an option to add more than 3 pen colors as "quick-access". I often use up to six colors and it is quite displeasing that I have to switch them around so much. I added a screenshot to clarify what I mean by "quick-access".

  18. I will be typing on a page and all of the sudden it will move me 10 pages over or back. Makes it annoying in classes and taking notes.
