  2. When writing while holding the iPad in portrait or landscape mode I often rest my land on the screen to leverage. As approachthe second vertical half of the page I run out of room and have to comfort my hand which causes a great deal of strain. Attempting to scroll further beyond the page boundary rubberbands, with no effect. Is like to be able to over-scrolljust under half a page so that i can fill the sheet similar to how scribble Let's me over-scroll in this basic textarea field on you support form.

    Thanks.

  3. You have the bookmarks, but including a priority star at the top as a reminder to revisit the document as a whole would be helpful for those in school

  4. When I change one element of text box formatting and then change another, the first change is undone.
    For example, I change the font from the default to something else. Then I increase the size. The font reverts to the default. If I reapply my font, the size reverts to the default. I have to set the font, unselect the text box (click out of it), go back to the text box, set my size. This has only started happening recently (the last month or so maybe).

  6. I can’t draw a straight line and I use goodnotes mostly for studying and I have to use highlighter a lot and I find it uncomfortable to undo over and over again to undo not-straight line highlight (or even curve line). If I want it to be freestyle I’d set it to freestyle right? So, PLEASE make the option be as it should.

  7. Hallo Goodnotes,

    Könnten Sie die App erweitern mit einem Scanner welcher Bilder und handgeschriebene engescannte PDF nach Texte scannt, sodass sie beim Durchsuchen der Aufschriebe/Notizen gefunden werden. Hierfür wäre ein gezieltes Durchsuchen von einem ausgewählten Ordner am besten.

    Außerdem können Sie die noch eine Erweiterung mit einem Zirkel machen, da wenn man mit den bisherigen Kreisen arbeiten möchte für den Zuschauer nicht ganz klar ist wie groß der Radius und wo die Einstichstelle bzw. welche Drehrichtung verwendet wird.

    Freundliche Grüße
    Tobias

    Hello Goodnotes,

    Could you extend the app with a scanner that scans images and handwritten PDFs for text so…

  8. Wouldn't it be great if we could make a single notebook with multiple divider tabs along the edge? Each one could be named for a different subject and have its own paper template. I'd love to have a single notebook called "Fall 2023 Semester" for example, and then have all my notes in one notebook.

    I believe OneNote has a similar functionality but it's... OneNote. :-)

  9. To remove a certain personalized color from colors set instead of initialize the color set. And a color picker to pick color from picture or PDF or pen marks. Thanks.

  10. Hello!
    GoodNotes is an amazing app for all students, that’s a no doubt thing.
    But I really wish a tool exists that enables us to make our lecture slides in Cornell note format, that is, add 3 extra panels for note taking atop, aside and below the original slide without changing the actual size of the slide and it’s content! This will revolutionize in lecture note taking for all students using this app. Please consider it and vote it if you deem it necessary and helpful for your studies.
    Happy studying :)

  11. I love your software and love how I can highlight text. However, I miss that highlighting the text wont mark it as a note so that it would appear as such in GoodNotes or any other PDF viewer such as Mac Preview, Adobe etc.

    There seems to be a note standard format that is not used by Goodnotes.

    This is bad because only with this internal format, notes as such can be collected, aggregated in an overview-function and even be extracted content-wise (some PDF-software such as PDF expert can do this — very helpful to re-read what was relevant).

    Summary:…

  13. Now:
    - When want to add new blank page, can only choose from preset sizes (not same size as document).
    - Or, copy 'current template' and insert blank image onto page.

    Suggestion:
    - New 'current template' with blank page (white or black or sample color from background) with the SAME SIZE as previous document page

  14. Please add the ability to scale the size of the paper on the screen so that it is the same size as the actual paper.
    The story of how I came to this conclusion is below.

    GoodNote's convenient scaling function makes it easy to draw fine text and figures. But at the same time that functionality takes you away from writing on actual paper.
    For example, in reality, writing letters with a 0.3mm ballpoint pen on A4 size paper means that 0.3mm letters are written in a 210mm x 297mm sheet of paper. However, on GoodNote, the same thing is…

  15. Ability to place the open document more away from the edge, for better Handwriting.

  16. Hi, if you want your customers to trust you, then of course yes, providing the user with a quick and safe payment method will increase the likelihood that they will make a purchase and come back to you next time. For example, ask the user https://rexsoftinc.com/e-scooter-business to pay for a product or service using familiar methods such as Google Pay, Apple Pay, or PayPal.

  17. Context: Notes contain concepts and theory, and often, these concepts must be applied in examples (especially in engineering where there are tonnes of examples in the lectures). Examples take up a lot of space in the 'theory' document, and makes scrolling through the document more tedious and makes it harder to find the notes you are looking for in a quick and efficient manner.

    Solution: Rather than doing examples in another notebook, it would be nice if you could simply add a page(s) behind or adjacent to the current 'theory' page which you can do examples on. This would make…

  20. when typing notes, I use different colors to signify different things, but I consistently have an issue where when I click to change the color the command is just ingnored. I have to either close the document or shut down the whole app. It’s very frustrating and I’m doing school work for 8+ hours a day and can’t handwrite it all. recently it’s also started just randomly changing the color or even the font size a couple of times while I’m typing. I know that Goodnotes is primarily for handwriting, but it’s the app I prefer for note taking and…
