  5. I appreciate that GoodNotes is constantly syncing to my iCloud account and that feature works great. However, on my MacBook Pro, it is frustrating when the program opens on my screen and interrupts my current activities. Is there a way to have the background sync on the Mac function as it does, while keeping the program minimized in the background? Thx

  6. In my iPhone 8, a button to close the font menu is covered with a status icons on top of my iPhone, and it is incapable.
    I'm sorry just to use it with a very convenient app.
    Could you correct it?

  8. Ich habe 4 Applegeräte, iMac, 2 IPads und ein IPhone. Wenn ich Lernkarten auf meinem iMac erstelle, sehe ich sie auch auf den anderen Geräten. Das ist o. K.
    Aber: Wenn ich auf einem der Geräte angefangen habe zu lernen, kann ich nicht auf einem anderen weitermachen.
    Beispiel: Ich trainiere zu Hause auf dem Mac, möchte aber unterwegs auf dem iPhone weitermachen - aber das geht leider nicht.
    Kompatibilität ist mein Vorschlag.
    Mit freundlichen Grüßen
    Olaf

  9. Sometimes when I read and take notes on lecture PowerPoint pdf on GoodNotes, I feel like the pages display are too big (I used an iPad Pro) esp when the content on the slides is not very compact. So I wonder if it’s possible to set how the pdf to be displayed, like for horizontal it can be set to 2x2, 3x2. Or for vertical, it can be set to 2x4, 2x6, or even 3x4 etc instead? To be able to view more pages at a glimpse like the outlines and also able to actually read the content would be…

  12. It woud be very helpful to have the opportunity to use your fingers navigate in more ways. A) For instants, use (starting from full page) 'zoom-out' with 2 or 3 finger to get to overview like the 4-square-icon does, with-out opening a new overlay windows. B) use 2 or 3 fingers to swipe faster through pages in a way the pages will move from the stack of pages.

  15. Hello!

    I am teacher in a german elementary school and I am using my Ipad and GoodNotes at the digital Whiteboard. I really love it. Thanks! But I am really missing some features. I usually make a picture of my worksheets. It would be perfect, if there is a scan-help, that the worksheets look better (light, zoom, cut, distort...). The other thing is, that I need more papers like math-paper with edges, or lines for elementary school.

    I hope you like the ideas.

    Thanks!

  16. Hello, when working with your APP I like to use the option to write in the focused field (on the very very left) If I now leave the focused field open but change the pages it will jump me back to the original page I was writing on. So as I´m writing in there I like to view a different page for informations but will be jumped back if I note it in the frame, as it begins to jump down on the next line. I hope its understandable, it´ll be easier to explain in German. Please leave me a…

  17. Ich verwende Goodnotes zum Aufmaß von Baustellen
    Hier muss ich Maßpfeile mit Bemassung einzeichen.
    Es wäre toll wenn man Maßpfeile mit Maßbeschriftung ähnlich wie bei My Measures einfügen könnte.
    Eine Anbindung zur automatischen Übernahme der Messung von einem Bluetooth fähigen Lasermessgerät zb Leica Disto wäre noch die Draufgabe

  18. Goodnotes already has the option to export as image, adding this as an option to auto backup is a great way to cut down the file sizes that can reach hundreds of megabytes for the people who use the auto backup as a notes viewer when using their PC.
    This reduction in file size in my opinion is worth the loss of text search within the document

  19. It would be amazing if there was a setting where I could default a font and as I start handwriting out notes, it automatically starts to change the words to text, sort of like iPads new "scribble" feature.

  20. It would be very convenient to have a pencil that just exist to write down headlines. I often use one strength of the three options just for headlines so one could expand functionality by implementing more features to this and specify one pen(strength) just to headlines. One feature suggestion might be to automatically add a page on which a headline was written to the outline. The headline itself can then be used as the outline entry's description by using the handwriting recognition software.
