  4. The brush pen is too rounded and you can’t do proper brush lettering with it. It looks to bubbly.

  5. Man wählt eine gewünschte Größeneinheit (mm ; cm ; m ; etc.) aus und kann nun in einem kleinen Fenster über der gezogenen Linie sehen wie lang sie ist.
    Weiterhin, sollten zwei geraden miteinander verbunden sein, sieht man den Winkel zwischen beiden

  6. For the Mac version of Goodnotes, the application should remember the previous window size and location (even on large external monitors) on each subsequent reopening. This is a standard feature of all "well behaved Mac applications".

  10. Functionality:
    Using grid view you could import a long PDF sideways while being able to scroll the howl document down. You could name, hide/collapse and do other actions on sections by having a menu on the left and right of the page. Names could be saved in the outline feature.

    Use cases and benefits:
    Grid view could be beneficial if you have a long PDF you import and want to make Notes on a separate page. You could split the screen, but this would be much more time-consuming.
    It would also allow to skip a section of a document much…

  11. Add a special highlighter. And a button which can switch the highlighted part to be between transparent and solid black. It can be useful to hide the answer of a question so that it helps people memorise the answer or the important part in a passage. Besides, the answer can also be revealed by using apple pencil while the tip of the pen is near the highlighted answer.

  12. I really appreciate that there is GoodNotes for Mac as I use both iPad and Mac depending on the context. Quite many times I am reading a research paper on Mac in the browser and if it is interesting I would like to import the PDF in GoodNotes. This requires that I first download the PDF and then drag-drop in the GoodNotes. It would be wonderful to have either a possibility to paste the link/URL to import that document within GoodNotes or a sort of chrome extension that imports it. This way there is no need for the intermediate step…

  13. I’d like to be able to drag and drop files into the document to embed them. Double-clicking the icon opens it in the default app, where it can be edited.

  14. Sometimes we want to find a certain notes which we only remember on which day we write down it. But it’s hard to find out where it is in whole GoodNotes. So I think a edit records of where we edit everyday is important. It help us to index our notes more convenient

  15. On the i,port document dialog, add 3 radio-buttons:
    1. Open this document after import
    2. Open the folder where this document is imported to
    3. Nothing

    The global option is not convenient.

  16. There are two small improvements for UX.

    1. When a user exports some of his/her pages, he/she goes into the grid view, selects a few pages, presses "export" and share it, then presses "Done" and "Close" to continue working. It is worth noting that, "Done" is on the top right corner of the window, yet "Close" is on the top left, with "Select" on the right. That means, if he/she doesn't look carefully or press "Done" twice, he/she will again enter the selection mode, rather than quickly returning to work. (See video1). This could be confusing.
      I suggest rearranging the…

  18. It is very troublesome for me to change my typeface,colour and text size。So I think it is necessary to set three buttons and I can set different text configuration and change it when I press these buttons。

  19. I’ve been using notesplus and it has the option of drawing a circle instead of going to the toolbar to select the laso/lazo. If there’s no intention of moving the content rounded, it automatically becomes the circle you have drawn.
