  1. While studying the notes, pages should have a turning effect just as in a real notebook. Having only a scroll option makes the experience very animated.
    Currently, some pdf readers like pdfViewer support the turning effect but having it in the same note taking app will make it complete for paper like study and note taking experience.

  2. Ist es möglich eine Funktion einzufügen, welche es ermöglicht die Antwortseite der Lernkarten zu vergrößern? Bspw. durch ein einfaches anklicken?

  3. I suggest to develop a tool to quickly increase or decrease white spaces in between text lines to add or delete content in the middle without manually shifting the lower contents up or down. this is very efficient especially If I have multiple pages. so all content move across the pages seamlessly.

  4. Hi,
    I would love a feature that would allow me to create a static "lock" on my screen
    -only allowing for the pen to write no zoom or movement of that sort
    Simply resembling a static sheet of paper

  5. Give users an option to not snap the main view to the zoom window whenever the zoom window moves: just have the main view stay on content

  6. App works great. Being able to add grid lines to imported pdf would make it even better.

  8. I use several colors regularly and I must select the one that does not appear in the bar. If there were 4 colors and even five you could have them available more quickly. Others handwriting apps have quite a few colors available on the taskbar so you don't waste time choosing. In the figure I have put six colors and it does not look bad.

  10. There should be an endless page option. The actual page dimensions available are typical of a paper notebook. Turn digital! See apple notes app where there is no limit. Simple!

  11. Ein sehr hilfreiches neues Feature wäre, wenn man beliebig viele Farben in die Auswahlleiste hinzufügen könnte. Die drei möglichen Auswahlmöglichkeiten sind für viele Arbeiten einfach zu wenig und es nimmt einige Zeit die Farben ständig zu wechseln. Vor allem wenn man mehrere Farbtöne benutzen will.

  12. Everyone I know loves the stylus used for the laser pointer writing feature but its not actually a stylus you can use to write notes!! That pen style is so nice and I would love to write my notes with it!

  13. Hello guys, I've been using both notability and goodnotes for over almost 2 years now and latelly notabilitu has been pulling appart, but over notability, gn still has the versatility of the app, but theres a tool that i use everysingle day and that it is soooo much better on notability than on goodnotes, thats not even fair.. it’s the hold to snap / auto shape tool. I know we already have the snap to other shapes feature, but that is basically useless unless you’re using straight lines.. I would like for you to implement some kind of powerfull shape…

  15. GoodNotes seems to change the page template into the last page of a PDF when I import it to a document.
    I would like GoodNotes to ask me if it changes the template every time I import a PDF.

  16. In addition to being transcribed into an editable document, you can add short text, forming notes with what you underline and what you add. You can see the document in a preview. Later, you can edit, convert to pdf and share the new document.

  17. I do hope in the future updates, goodnotes would allow us to view images on pdfs with jpeg2000, if adobe acrobat could do it, why can't goodnotes do it as well?

  18. I really like the zoom window. But I don't know if it's just me, for a lot of times my palm touching the screen is detected as an action to resize the zoom window, and I need to resize it again so that my writing would be the same size.So, I was wondering if the development team could kindly make a feature to temporarily fix the size of the zoom window so that users can toggle to fix the size when they would like to?

  19. I suggest pen sizes bigger than 2.0mm! More variety is always better.

  20. It would be handy to be able to scroll beyond the page. This would enable me/us to write on the page bottom while the hand palm is still resting on the screen instead of having it resting uncomfortably on the edge of the device.

    Otherwise I LOVE the app and your pricing. Keep up the good work :)
