  2. I have had a problem for a couple of months. I use Good notes for tutoring, and I use the highlighter or drawing features a lot on imported text documents. When my students try to draw or highlight, "the comment" option frequently appears. It is very sensitive if they hold down the key for too long. This is annoying and frustrating for them. How can I turn off the comment feature?

  4. the textbox tool is broken.
    when using the text box and tapping the screen (even if using the on-screen keyboard) the textbox will undo ( and it won't be reversible ) so you will need to retype everything. furthermore, it keeps this weird overlay of way should have happened if it would work correctly or something that should have been deleted but for some reason stays. and when switching pages and then editing a textbox you will get "teleported" into a random previewed page. and if the pages are similar you might rune some notes.

  5. Beim arbeiten in der Schule habe ich bemerkt, dass es bei ihrer tollen App einen Verbesserungsvorschlag meinerseits gibt.
    Beim Scrollen (horizontal) wäre es gut, wenn sich der eingezoomte sichtbereich beim Scrollen auf eine andere Seite nicht nach oben verschieben würde.

  7. your app is great
    could you make it possible to turn off automatic document centering? I need to move the document to the left so that the edge of the sheet does not rest against the edge of the tablet. it is very inconvenient to have the hand rest on the edge while writing.
    here is how it is implemented in procreate:

  8. Please add a confirmation button to the duplication shortcut. "command D" duplicates my notebooks and makes my good notes crash. I accidentally press it instead of "command F" which is search quite often.

  11. A feature that enables creation of single-document documents. That means documents that do not allow to switch to other documents in goodnotes.

    This feature would enable to use goodnotes for writing exams. Currently this is not possible, since student can easily browse their other goodnotes for cheating.

    While it is possible to lock in students in the goodnotes app using Classroom, it is not possible to lock them in a specific document, e.g. the exam.

  12. GoodNotes should implement a feature to filter out only pages with annotation, side by side with the outlines menu.
    This would be much more convenient when reviewing large documents and e-textbooks.

  13. Dear GoodNotes team, please improve the formatting of written text so that it is placed correctly on a page (e.g. like in Notion or Microsoft Word). I crave for such an improvement, as it would be the solution to the only problem I have with GoodNotes!
    Thank you!

  14. For small businesses, it is important to keep your intellectual properties to yourself.
    We spend countless hours creating spreads, and I want to restrict some parts of it so that the spreads cannot be manipulated but users can still write on the pdf and add pages. Sort of like flattening the spreads as a background image with links instead of shapes that can be extracted.
    However, when i restrict editing with a password in adobe reader, I have to type in the password before I can open the document in goodnotes. Is it possible to import the pdfs as a…

  16. Basically, Good Note UI is for Student Note. So Page Size is not Flexable ( It has Empty Parts of App )

  18. I like the presets that you can customize on GoodNotes and having the keyboard shortcuts makes it easy to use a macropad to help ease my workflow even more!

    I would like to take it a step further by having key shortcuts for quick selecting the preset colors and sizes so that I don't have to lift my pen off away from the writing area to select a color or change my tool size.

    It's a small thing, but I think it would really be cool to implement this feature or something similar for people who really want to optimize…

  19. It is so easy to accidentally close a tab/page. Please tweak the close tab button to be double tap.

    Would be nicer if you add a function to restore deleted tab.

  20. Despite Google Drive implementation, GoodNotes is not able to import Docs or Slides. I know there are workarounds, but those add too many steps to my workflow. It would be great to be able to import and mark up a document or set of slides.
