  2. In university, there are some worksheets that are blank. Is it possible to have "virtual lines" so that our handwriting can be neater. These lines should not be permanent & not show up on the final document.

  5. For formatting reasons, I would love to be able to keep my images, tables etc. in the same spot. Even a 'send to back' 'bring forward' option. It's so difficult at the moment.

  6. I like to use the draw and hold feature since it's more convenient than switching between the tools, but it would be great if the stroke thickness wouldn't change to the default setting.

  8. Sometimes I accidentally close a tab while I’m changing tools. Not a big deal, but it can be avoided by changing “x button” location.
    + We definitely need more painting tools.

  9. this and other features like audio recording in sync with notes, proper smooth scrolling that doesn't have a mind of its own, ability to change the size of eraser, are what makes notability better

    the only difference is that notability makes my writing uglier. it looks better in goodnotes but as far as user experience goes, notability is way better and keep in mind i got it for free ages ago and i had to pay for good notes

    you guys are intelligent and capable and i'm sure you'll manage to add these features in the near future

    godspeed

  11. Hi, for pdf readers like Xodo, a feature that allows us to automatically trim off the white edge of certain documents is great for zooming in and focusing on the content.

    Could you please add such a feature that turns any documents/textbooks into a tablet friendly version?

    Cheers

  13. When zoomed out, the cursor for the pen becomes a plus sign, which is not very easy to write with... It would be easier if the cursor were just a dot when zoomed in or when zoomed out.

  16. I loved WunderList and used it extensively to keep track of all the things I needed to do - until Microsoft ruined it. I have since reverted to using the Apple Reminders app. It is ok, but nothing like WunderList. It would be very nice for GoodNotes to have something similar to WunderList, whereby when you have a listed item then you complete it by checking a box, the item disappears. If you want to go back and look at what was completed or you completed something by accident, you can look at all the items on the checklist.

  17. Hello,
    First of all I must say that I love the app and the overall workflow it provides. However, I found few small issues that I think could really improve the performance:

    1. I would like to be able to export selected pages. Sometimes I need to send pdf of 2-3 pages from my notes and I cannot do it easily.

    2. I would like to be able to share whole folder with my cooworkers

    3. I would like to notify my coworkers when I edit something in the document. Maybe some kind of pop-up notification or icon would be enough.

    These are…

  19. I'd like a Zoom-In feature on the MacOS app, so I can use 3rd party stylus pads (like Wacom) with the laptop for note taking.

  20. I like to write my notes in Landscape mode so I have more room side-side to write, but I like to look over my notes in Portrait mode so I can see the whole page.

    I have the Landscape Zoom to 100%, page fully covering the screen side to side. When I rotate to Portrait mode the zoom stays, and I have to zoom out to see the whole page, zoom back in when I turn to Landscape, in and out, etc. etc.

    It would be an awesome feature, and would help a lot!
