  2. Please introduce the possibility of palm gesture removal since the palm detection doesn't work properly when the iPad is used horizontally.
    When we write on an imported picture, every time the palm touches the screen, GoodNotes switches to the lasso tool, and it's kinda annoying.
    This feature is always on even if the iPad settings say to ignore the palm.

  3. Hi GoodNotes team,

    Iโ€™m a heavy GoodNotes user on [iPad / Mac / iPhone] and I absolutely love using the app for studying and taking math/technical notes.

    Iโ€™ve noticed that GoodNotes currently doesnโ€™t support inline LaTeX rendering in regular typed text (for example, writing $x^2 + y^2 = 1$ in a text box and having it render as nicely formatted math). I know you have great math / equation tools, but those generate separate equation objects rather than letting us mix math and normal text seamlessly in the same paragraph.

    For students and professionals in math, statistics, physics, engineering, andโ€ฆ

  4. How can I undo this last version of Goodnotes 6? I liked it better when the recording symbol wasnโ€™t this horribly obvious as a big orange square. and I like it better when the toolbar didnโ€™t move. Is there a way I can undo this update and back to the previous version of Goodnotes 6?!

  5. The new split screen feature on an ipad is very annoying and difficult to use since the update. As I am using one side of my screen to see powerpoints and articles, and using the others to write notes on, it constantly changes sizes and makes me toggle back and forth and has been very frustrating to use. Please change it back to the 3 dots at the top and make it easier for all students to easily take notes.

  6. It would be awesome if we could skew images taken with the app by adjusting the four corners of the rectangular crop independently similar to how microsoft lens works (please see attached photos for example). As it stands I am using that app and then importing the images I take of whiteboards and documents.

  7. currently with the new update, when you import a document to goodnotes, an annoying thing with the new update when you press
    location-> it automatically opens the keyboard to let you search for a folder or document you want to import your document to, but itโ€™s really annoying as if you are on an ipad, using the large keyboard, it blocks half the folders. Of course you can get rid of the keyboard and click on the folder but it is slow and takes up a lot of time when you want to import multiple separate documents quickly from aโ€ฆ

  8. The ability to add animated gifs is great, but they just loop continuously. It would be nice to be able to click them to pause or play them. I'm using good notes to record some whiteboard-style tech how-to videos. I'm doing animations in procreate dreams and would like to drop those into a good notes whiteboard. I then use iOS screen record to record the whiteboard session.

  9. The eraser tool works but can get glitchy because when you erase it disappears but then it reappears! It should just erase in one go. Then, there are the writing aids that pop up in the bottom. When you click hide, more just keep coming and you canโ€™t focus

  10. It would be nice if the highlighters and pictures you insert on the MacBook would not change its position on my iPad. whenever i highlight something on my iPad or on my MacBook or even insert a picture, the same page on the other device is a little shifted and not on the original position.
    I uploaded a picture: I wrote the text on my MacBook and highlighted on my iPad. The highlighter on the my MacBook was then shifted from its original position on my iPad. The highlighter on my iPad is still on the original position.

  12. Allow some means to recover password for when a password is forgotten. Or disable the master lock. Allow user to set different passwords for different files if desired.

  13. hello goodnotes.I am from India. I am currently using the 1year(essential) plan. but I want to upgrade my subscription to the special edition/ lifetime subscription. but it seems like ,in India- the special edition subscription is not available .there is only the essential/yearly plans and one Pro plan. so it will be very helpful if you add the special edition plan for India region.

    I desperately need the special edition plan. and it is not available in India region so is there any other way that I can buy the special edition subscription.

    if you add the speciality some subscriptionโ€ฆ

  14. The infinite canvas currently does not export as a searchable pdf file. When we export the file, it works like a picture which gets pixelated when we zoom
    So it would help a lot if we could search handwriting and text within the infinite canvas

  15. Recently, a "lock object" feature was introduced which is AMAZING, thank you. However, as others have noted, sometimes a whole page is an image (say a form that you're filling out, working with other little images or handwriting on top of it). We're all doing it, I'm sure you don't need a picture. It's great that I can lock the base layer, but still EVEN IF I've already sent it to the back, if I select it, it visually brings it front and now I can't see the objects on top. This defeats most of the benefit of having itโ€ฆ

  16. The comment pop-up should be resizeable like in Adobe Acrobat.. Also I'd like to be able to add pictures in the comments to make my notes decluttered. And the text should be editable (like in the regular ...bullet points, bold etc)

  17. If I adjust the size of the screen immediately right after taking notes, the screen stops instantaneously and is forcibly terminated. These errors occur frequently

  18. I know that using "editable" PDF export, the outline is appended. But this type of export is absolutely huge and provides no use for someone to whom I just want to send my notes. It would be much appreciated to be able to export "flattened" PDF with outline.
