  2. Hallo,
    ich bin Lehrkraft und nutze ihre App in der Schule an einem digitalem Board. Auf dem iPad kann ich die Toolbar nach unten setzen, das würde ich mir auch für MacOS wünschen. Leider habe ich die Option nicht gefunden.

    Im besten fall wäre es so, dass ich nur die Werkzeugleiste verschieben kann ohne die offenen Dokumente

  4. Students often struggle with professors’ PDF slides featuring unusual or difficult color combinations. A practical solution to this issue would be introducing a new feature in GoodNotes: the ability to convert documents into black-and-white mode, enhancing readability and usability.

  6. The space that the current toolbar takes on smaller ipads very large, designing a option to toggle the toolbar into a small movable window like in notability would drastically improve the space for smaller devices.
    I have been thinking of switching over for this exact reason but would like to see if this could be implemented first.
    Thank you.

  7. Could be great to see some supported widgets for IOS.

    For example see your "to do" notes as a widget

  8. Why does the text box duplicate so easily. It’s aggravating. It should ONLY duplicate with a long press and then selecting the option.

    Every time I try to move these stupid boxes they duplicate. It’s wasted time.

  9. I work on other apps as well and it would be great if our study sets translates to various formats such as excel.

  10. Locking text would be SUPER helpful for iPad users. It does get frustrating when I use text and then try to draw a diagram underneath, only for it to select the text above again. When I try to put a text box underneath, it wants to select the text above after removing the spacing.

    It would be extremely beneficial to lock text so it wouldn't be selected and or touched and accidentally move it with the lasso tool, editing it again, just being a huge pain overall. The lock feature could be comparable to Canva, where you can lock a…

  11. Ask goodnotes is a good thing but needs some pretty obvious, low hanging improvements to be really usable.
    When you select "translate" from the quick actions in "Ask goodnotes" you need to enter the language every time! This is incredibly annoying. Obviously it needs to remember your selection.
    In addition, the language defaults to the language of the text, which is, in gentle terms, less than intelligent. Make it default to English or to the system's language....

  12. The Pencil-tool is great and I love writing with it! Unfortunately I can‘t see what I have written with it, when I go to side-view. Please make it visible, as I then can see what I have written and it makes it easier to find old pages.

  13. The only way to turn on/off the audio transcript is by starting an audio recording, stopping it, switching the transcript on or off then start the audio again. Please create a different way to control this, maybe in the document settings.

  14. The feature of locking documents provided is quite helpful, but please update it with locking a folder, all of us store specific type of documents in a folder, so locking 500 documents individually is a time consuming task, in addition to the locking documents also provide feature of locking a folder also.

  15. The new pencil tool is nice to write with. However, the pencil tool does not seem to be able to use pen gesture and handwriting recognition as well as the pen. Hopefully in the future, pencil tools can also use these features.

  16. I would like to suggest incorporating AI technology into GoodNotes to enhance and beautify handwritten notes. This feature could improve handwriting in real-time, making it more legible and visually appealing, similar to what Apple Notes has introduced. This addition would greatly benefit users who prefer handwriting but desire a cleaner and more consistent appearance for their notes.

  18. To be able to upload an image/pdf and have AI generate a copy of the text within that image/pdf to be able to copy and paste it. I often find myself having to re-type something from an image or an app (that doesn’t allow me to copy) so having this feature would work wonders. Brandfolder.com have an offer of 5 free uses a day for extracting text from a file, if you would like to try it! (:

  19. Requesting the ability to create a sticker which contains an added link, which can be edited as needed, mainly for the use of repeat pasting to pages.

    Example: I have created a document which has internal page links throughout. I want to add a sticker that already has a link embedded to a specific page within the document.

    Otherwise, I am unable to group together a sticker with a text link to copy and paste into other portions of the document as needed.

  20. I use Goodnotes for studying. So I thought that making a sheet of a study planner would work well. I can see my schedule within Goodnotes at once. I think it would be beneficial, instead of carrying study planner books instead.(= carrying studying books makes my bag heavier and also makes less room in my backpack to put more books in.)
