  3. Auto Backup Copy update was a great update from GoodNotes 5

    However, a major problem has show up.

    There is no option to automatically backup up PDF Copy with blank page layout.

    This would be great to improve visibility in PDF Files. It’s kind odd my backup PDF keep the lines or dots on background of my notes.

  4. I have an iOS shortcut that opens a new, untitled document with just a quick tap so that, when the office phone rings, I’m ready with something to write on. When the phone call is over, the process of saving the untitled document into an existing notebook (which is very common), involves 15 (!) steps: 1) open page view of newly created document; 2) tap “select”; 3) select pages to copy; 4) tap “copy”; 5) tap “done”; 6) tap “close”; 7) tap “save as untitled”; 8) navigate to the existing notebook; 9) open notebook; 10) open page view; 11) click…

  5. When adding / changing the name of a workbook or document, I noticed that there is no auto-capitalisation, while I have that enabled in my general iOS settings.

    Is that something that can be added in the future?

    Cheers

  9. When importing a new paper template being and you are writing in the zoom text field and click enter the whole box jumps down the whole box length. So being able to select where it jumps to when pressing enter and it so it can for example jump to the next line like with the pre-installed GoodNotes templates would be very good

  11. I used "Email to GoodNotes". It is a good feature but the mail address is hard to remember so I tried to forward any email that I send from my email to my email in Gmail with title "GoodNotes" but google told me that I must enter "Confirmation code" that they sent to my email in GoodNotes.

    There is no way to see the "Confirmation code" now, so I cannot activate this feature.

    To solve this problem, I suggest one of these ideas:
    1- Convert any message to PDF
    2- Resend any message to my email

  13. Hi, Goodnotes is my most favorite application. But one thing that you can improve to make GoodNotes better application is “make it can choose many pictures and make an order of those pictures when user want to makes a new file from many pictures “ when found this needs when I have to sent my homeworks from home during this virus crisis.

  14. I am a physician. I use GoodNotes (for iPad) to send requisitions to my secretary, as well as radiology and laboratories.

    If I am writing a prescription for a radiology test that I will always send to the same radiology clinic, it makes sense that I can define a default recipient for that particular form.

    It would simplify the workflow, just fill out the form and hit HotShare (you are free to use the term .... no copyrights on that .... (<end joke>).

    As it stands I have to fill the form, hit print, select print all pages, then pinch-zoom…

  15. It will be very nice, if you could specify a certain time period for Auto-Backup.

    For example Once a day or every hour. Because I think, since I activate it, my battery of the IPad is much faster empty

  16. hello it would be great if the new colors added by a user do not reset with each update, because it is very tedious to go and enter all the new colors again.

  19. This is not really a feature request, but rather a bug report. When switching pages in a document with the arrow keys on a keyboard, the bookmark icon does not change. It always remains on the state of the first, with touch gestures selected, page.

  20. “Open documents as new tabs” option is a great tool but i would preferred that instead of all documents being open as new tabs only documents or notes or pages within a Currently open document would open as new tabs so you could toggle within that folder faster while looking at folders within folders. The way it is now it’s a bit cluttered and confusing because you get confused and don’t know where those tabs belong in just by looking at the titles if that makes any sense, thank you.
