  1. When using the text box to answer questions on homework, the pop up box covers up the question I’m trying to answer. So can we please make that movable or hideable?

  2. What was the point of dividing typing and writing. There are so many more apps that are better for writing or typing separately. What I liked about Goodnotes is that it didn’t have the hassle of typing a paragraph, printing it or using a different app to make notes on it. For now I will use Word and Notability. I hope there is a way to fix this otherwise I just wasted my money on goodnoted for nothing.

  3. Mann kann ja bereits eine mathematische Formel auswählen, in eine Formel umwandeln und danach bearbeiten. Dies ist allerdings sehr kompliziert, da man Funktionen we /fraq oder /phi nicht aus dem Kopf weiß. Man könnte eine Fromelfunktion einfügen, bei der man wie bei einem Taschenrechner verschiedene Funktionen wie einen Bruchstrich oder Wurzel oder hoch und tief schreiben für quadrat ^2, kubik^3 und so weiter sowie eine Suchleiste für Funktionen.

  4. I am partially posting this to see if others are have this issue or if it is just me. I have two 3rd-party "Apple Pencil", one of which I only used once to verify it worked and maintain as a backup in case something happens with the other. The primary one I have used for over a year now with no issues. Since the most recent update at the beginning of October (toolbar was a horrible choice, side note), and more than half of my strokes misregister or do not register at all (best way I can explain it). I…

  5. With the new update, it takes so many extra steps to change the fonts to custom, downloaded ones. There’s the modern, classic, and technical options so it would be nice to customize that so there’s a top 3 fonts, but it sucks to have my fonts be more inaccessible!!

  6. With the new update, you can’t click on the image or elements tool to edit just those items. The buttons are just for adding new images into the page and that forces you to use the lasso tool to edit them. This is horrible for someone like me who uses a background image as a template and kept the image lasso off to not accidentally mess up my whole page. Please change it back! Or FINALLY give us a lock layer option so that we don’t have to select everything to get one image!!

  7. Previously I could easily edit the points/vertices of the shape….. with the new update, it is much inconvenient to edit the points. Please bring it back… it is easily to teach triangle area if I could easily shift the vertex

  8. Recently, the lasso tool seems to have changed — if I select just a small part of a circle’s edge, it also selects anything crossing or inside the circle, even though I didn’t include them. It didn’t work like this before.

  10. My app just updated, making the toolbar different. Now if I want to use the shape tool to make straight lines or something, I have to manually change every setting from size to color to match my pen tool every single time I change colors/sizes. This makes it very frustrating when I do color coded notes every single day that need me to switch between colors, line thickness, and free drawing vs straight lines constantly (as is visible in my attached screenshots). It was never an issue before, so the fact that it is now is very upsetting. On top…

  11. Sorry, dear Goodnotes team, but sth is not cool with the new update 7.0.3 Whenever I want to draw a closed shape, it makes it all wobbly and creates some kind of text field out of it. What’s happening? How can I make it stop? I don’t need text fields, I use always my handwriting.

  12. When comparing writing in Goodnotes with Apple notes, Goodnotes fells like the stroke limps behind the Apple Pencil (Pro) when writing. Trust me. Go in Apple Notes and you never want to use Goodnotes again.The Goodnotes 7.0 update is nice but please fix this first!
    Thanks

  14. Die Standardschrift soll für ein Dokument einstellbar sein (wie bei der alten Version)

    Es ist unglaublich mühsam, bei jedem neuen Text Feld öffnen: Schriftgrösse, Fett oder nicht, Schriftfarb etc. einzustellen.

    Bitte Bitte ändern sie das!!!!!!!!!!

  15. It would be nice if Android and Windows finally got the same capabilities as Apple. Adding new fonts, uploading stickers, and many other things unfortunately don't work at all. This has been a known issue for years.

  18. Before, you could make a shape with a fill color, and erase the filler separately from the shape outline. Now, you can’t even erase the outline and leave just the filling, or vice versa.

  19. リンク設定において、デフォルトの設定が「次のページ」になっているため、不便です。デフォルト設定を「このページ」にしてほしいです。「このページ」に設定することで、手間を省くことができ助かります。
