  2. 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…

  3. When recording a video I would like to be able to pause the recording and then unpause. It is hard to video record all my notes in one go.

  4. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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。

  12. 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. 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

  17. it ist great that now it is possible to backup our files with for example google drive/one drive.

    But it were much better if we could sync the Backup folder with goodnotes.
    Thus we get much easier and faster import from the computer

  19. It would be helpful if when vertically scrolling through documents it does not move side to side. This is very frustrating when trying to review and highlight numerous documents.

    This usually happens when there is at least one page in the document that either has a different orientation (landscape) or is larger than the pages you’re currently looking at. Please try locating this page and remove it if possible to avoid the problem. We’ll see what we can do to handle page scrolling better in cases like this.
