  1. 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…

  2. i noticed that they implimented for goodnotes to create an auto link whenever you type “.com” at the end of anything which is very frustrating when i am not trying to attatch any links. i have to click the link to unlink it only for it to come back the second i continue typing. Can you create a feature in the settings where this feature can be turned off?

  3. part of what makes fountain pen writing look personal and nice to look at it the subtle shades of colour variation in each stroke. You get pooling around the heavy press areas and lighter colour in the lighter press, less corner-y/curvy strokes. No other note taking app does this as far as I am aware and would give GN a really personal, beautiful feel.

    This is why I use a fountain pen in real life - the character of it.

  4. Many users are asking for technical drawing aids (rulers, protractors, triangle rulers, etc.)
    A very quick workaround [not a final solution, but a helpful start] would be to include a sticker collection containing some drawing tools on transparent backgrounds.
    I am aware that now one can create sticker packs by oneself, but not all users might come up with the idea / would know how to do it.

  5. Ich benutze GoodNotes für mein Studium und es wäre eine hilfreiche Funktion wenn man die Gliederung von Notizbüchern einrücken bzw. in ein- und ausklappbare Ordner Sortieren könnte. So würde vor allem die Navigation und Übersichtlichkeit von besonders langen Notizbüchern verbessert werden.

  6. If you draw and hold a line or something else, it should snap to the paper like in notability it’s just time saving if you are trying to make a diagram.

  7. Sorry for the long title; I love the flashcard feature and use it every day in medical school and I am being able to study extremely effectively and learn the material while still having free time in my life.

    But If I could select certain flashcards within a single document by marking them with a certain signal to allowing me to study the flashcards I made for the first lecture before I study the next classes flashcards which build off the first lectures material. And even allowing me to mark certain flashcards "VIP" cards that amalgamate from all the notebook's…

  8. If it was possible to import a document and then be scannable would be a godsend for those who need big chunks of text, are trying to look up words or are learning a language. Even those who need text to speech would be able to copy the scannable text and use it quickly.

  9. GoogleDrive, DropBox and OneDrive are available, but FTP/SFTP for share in own systems (for business or friends) isnˋt available.
    I think this can be useful for other tools.

  11. Currently the only way to favourite a document is from the file browser. It would be very handy to be able to favourite from within an already open document.

    Also the star/favourite button on thumbnails is not present in search results.

  12. The laser pointer has a very cool design to it. I would love if they could make the design of how it looks into a pen so you could write notes using that design

  13. 你们在最新版本中去掉了这个选项,无法隐藏状态栏。本来工具栏面积就很大,现在不能隐藏状态栏,导致文档显示面积进一步被压缩。不要为了适配iPados15的分屏键,就让整个软件变得难用。

  14. When searching on iphone spotlight search, it would be good if a small preview image of the document would show. Notability has this feature so it shouldn’t be hard I think

  15. writing flashcards takes a lot of time.
    Here are some ideas for improvement:

    When writing a note you can link two entities (word, image, sentence..) for example by "virtually framing" them to tell the app to create a flashcard from these words (the framing will only be displayed when you tell the app to create a flashcard)

    Add tags to the flashcards to better organize them, study only certain tags and see which tags need to be revised more.

  16. Using elements is fantastic, however, I would like to be able to crop from the lasso tool. Right now, if I place a calendar block and need to change the size, I have to select element, which then auto-selects the lasso tool. To crop an element, I then have to select the image, which brings up the image selector on the page, then click off of that, and then select crop. It adds so many extra steps. Why not just have the crop option from the lasso tool? It would save so many steps!

  17. Currently keyboard shortcut for Element is not enabled. even though it is stated as M upon hovering over the button.

    also an option to not leave element tool after adding an element will be nice. it'll be useful when catching up on the older task during bullet journalling.

  19. When you finish writing on a page, it automatically goes to the next page. If you are writing and then go back and add something, it currently disappears off the bottom of the page. Notability is AMAZING for this...... Catch up goodnotes.

  20. Mac app is slow for large PDFs, as a person who studies a pdf on the MacBook and takes notes on the iPad, the Mac app is quite slow to navigate through the PDF. I'm running the latest app on the MacBook Pro 16
