  1. Adding the ability to scroll through notecards in practice mode rather than having to select how we felt we did would be helpful for studying

  2. Taking notes during a presentation I really need to be able to take a picture of the slide and annotate it. Unfortunately it seems I have only the simple cam (no full scanning feature with rectification canvas-based) so I get a distorted image. Just make it available to use this feature (documents scanner) within the note.

  3. Currently shapes are only supported and created by scribbled pen input. Sometimes I want to modify the size in height or weight, rotate or color the shape. It would be necessary to offer modifiable shapes like you can do e.g. in Miro or Adobe Illustrator. Set starting point, move the Apple Pencil to desired ending point and voila your rectangle is created. I wished you could also color shapes with border and background color. I think it would help a lot in daily routines.

  5. 你们好,good notes的开发者们。首先非常感谢你们开发出了这个笔记app,我已经使用了三年,并且非常喜爱。但是最近遇到的一个问题是,iCloud多客户端同步这个功能会自动同步所有的文档,这占用了我的iPhone很多内存空间。所以我建议,可否让多客户端同步的文档变得可以由用户自己选择呢?而不是自动在所有的客户端上同步所有的笔记文档。
    期待你们的回复:)

  6. It would be great if you could take notes on resubmission. This would allow you to create a quick note and schedule it for a different date and time for processing. Such functions (e.g. reminder functions) are available in apps that manage documents and since notes are created here, it is similar to managing a document. In my opinion, it would be a great function.

  7. running good notes on my private AppleID (=iCloud) and using it on my business Mac, too is today not possible. I'd even open to buy it twice, but I habe only 1 mobile device - so basically though I love good notes, I can't use it anymore.

    Solution:
    Allow to accept shared documents also from Mac App. This way I can still use it on my iPad and iPhone and notes I neet @work could simply be shared with my business AppleID.

    This would provide a solution for many other feature requests such as
    https://feedback.goodnotes.com/forums/191274-customer-suggestions-for-goodnotes/suggestions/40412074-sign-in-icloud-from-goodnotes-app-to-sync-personal
    or the request to use…

  8. It would be very helpful for a lot of people with bad handwritings if the handwriting to text feature is improved further as a input mean with the support for input on another same as handwritten notes are input now.

  9. i got updates recently // ver. 5.6.9 (799398.332495063)
    more shapes can be recognized and edited; that‘s cool
    but i find it harder to draw a vertical/horizontal line than before
    and the width of the line are ALWAYS uniform

    hope for any options in setting ui which could allow us to switch that
    please see the attachment below; i use GREEN word to express what i want

  12. On iPad: pinch page to view to thumbnails. Use entire screen to show thumbnails instead of overlay.

  17. Every time I copy or do screen capture, it takes me 3 steps from different buttons to copy the picture, so my hand needs to move up, top right for copying.... can streamline for copying process?

    Also, every time I change color, I need to move my pen from left to right for selecting different color, is it possible to allocate the changing color just under "pen" button? So my hand can move less for that action?

  18. I am a new user I really enjoy this app but there are some features that will be handy for all for us users of Goodnotes 5. Starting with a setting of margins for the templates ( I print my notes to put them on a binder and some of my notes gets cut of with the hole puncher), a ruler (this will be super handy, I know I can use the shape tool but there's people that work with measurements)

  20. It would be really cool if you combineed your handwriting recognition with your typing tool. Do stuff like intending lines of handwritten notes, or left justifying your handwritten notes after the fact. (I know you can use the lasso, but sometimes it gets tedious)
