  3. Right now, Automatic Backups requires connecting to a Cloud Storage provider, of which only 3 are supported, and iCloud is not even one of them. However, "Backup Now" supports saving backups to an Files.app location, which supports any cloud service that is integrated with Files.app.

    What I would like to see is Automatic Backup have support for closing a location in Files.app (either local on device, or cloud service provider).

  4. If the undo operation take place in another page, I won’t be able to see it nor know what was done. Jumping to that page where undo take place will allow me to understand more about the nature of the undo.

    Moreover, jumping, wait 500ms and then perform the undo will allow me to visually see it as well.

    Redo will jump back to the page I were at.

  5. It would be nice to be able to edit the text inside a square that the colour has been filled in. What happens now is if you edit the text it removed the filled-in colour and you can't refill in the colour.

  8. In my paper journals (and in GoodNotes) I have various shorthand icons that I draw next to text (stars, hearts, tiny houses, etc.). It would be great if I could draw these icons into an "icon gallery" and then when I draw them onto a page they would be recognized and the page would be "tagged" with the icon so that I can quickly find it again.

    And I totally get that training your recognition engine to identify arbitrary shapes is a much different beast than recognizing handwriting in general and this may not be technically feasible. But it would…

  9. the latest version of goodnotes seem to have made a little bit of change on the handwriting improvement algorithm to make the end of the writing thicker, which makes it less comfortable. Also, there is more delay of the writing. Please resume the previous algorithm.

  10. Parallel lines (for example, double underscore or even wider tabulation lines) are often merged when "too close" together, even when zooming in. In nearly all cases, I want a parallel, close line, at the distance where I start the line. Suggestion: take the distance of the starting point to the paralleled line and correct to the parallel line at this distance.

  11. 工具栏面积占比太高了,浪费屏幕显示区域,关闭了状态栏显示都还是觉得工具栏占位置过多,影响阅读及书写体验。小小建议:把工具栏缩减为一行,或者在不减少工具选项的情况下把工具栏做窄一点,个人认为没必要做得那么宽。希望能改进一下下。

  15. I tried searching for (as a specific example) “3919” (without quotes) when looking for a note I had hand written with the text “003919” (again without quotes).

    Search didn’t find it until I searched very specifically for “0039” (no quotes).

    It would be great if you could enable search of a string within words / text.

    Incidentally, searching “003919” also gave zero results.

  16. 開發者您好:

    我是貴產品的愛用者。感謝貴公司創造這樣好的產品,嚷我可以在生活上以及工作上,有效率又可以輕鬆地生活。
    有一點使用上的建議,也許不容易做到,但是,還是以一個使用者角度與需求,向貴公司提出建議。
    我是在居住在台灣的使用者,但是,中文的使用環境上,是繁體中文的。但是,生活或工作上,都會有很多機會是使用簡體中文,如果在軟體中內建簡體字轉換繁體字的功能,這會讓我在使用得到更好的體驗。word的軟體上有這樣的功能,我知道在PDF的檔案上,也許需要很大的工程,但是,我還是提出我以上的建議與需求。希望有一天可以達到這樣的效果,
    感謝您的聆聽

  20. Ok, we can now scroll like a normal notebook, how about being able to do that, but adding a page above, or below an existing page. Kind of like a mind map. If you have a note with something specific, you can add something specific below (or above) a note
