  3. I and anyone remotely teaching is in need of 16:9 aspect ratio size notebooks. There’s none supplied. The problem is with none 16:9 notebook sizes is the appearance of black frames from both sides.

    This is the only reason I have to use Notability instead.

  4. Currently, I import all my journal articles into goodnotes to review, but I also make a summary powerpoint slide of each one. As I cannot copy and paste text i.e. long titles and author names, I now use the pdf, read and edit as needed in pdf form to make it easier, then import it really just for storage

  5. Seyes template or french school ruling template would be nice. It is possible though to copy one as a pdf and use it as a background, but this would be a nice add on.

  6. I use Goodnotes for idea generation for work and the one thing I miss from my previous app for this (Forge) is the ability to move pages around on a kind of pinboard grid, placing them wherever I want (in groups, solo, rows, columns, with space between them if desired). It would allow free-form placement of the pages on a grid perhaps 6 pages deep and as long as it needs to be, and would be an alternative mode to the traditional notebook sequential page style you currently have. Instead of opening up the sequential thumbnails view, it would open…

  7. In the app, there are two different menu points where you can change the option whether you want to fill in the shapes or not. But if I change it at the pen menu, the same change occurs at the shapes menu.
    But it would be cool to be able to draw not filled in shapes when the pen is selected an to be able to draw filled in shapes when you select the shapes menu. So that the two buttons are not connected together.

  8. Since the last update, if you want to copy or cut some text out and past it somewhere else, you first need to hold long onto the text, and then you need to switch to the menu to the right. Before the update you didn't need to switch to the right, this was better and faster.
    Maybe this is because me tablet language is in german and not English

  9. There is an app muse, who to tell you the truth is a bad app but has a very unique feature and that it has infinity amount of flashcards on it that they can become bigger and smaller and you can even add a card inside another

    What am asking for is simple a flashcard that you see its containt and can controle its size that when you want to use you can make it bigger, this flashcard has an infinitesimal size or at least the size of a typical page

    This feature is like a game-changer for most of…

  10. I would find it very useful if GoodNotes would include support for the eraser end of the pen used in higher-end Wacom screens and tablets. Thanks!

  11. I love the app and use it as my main PDF reader on iPad, but when it comes to the Mac version scrolling seems really buggy. Please could you enhance this?

  13. Continually exporting my notes into pdf result in endless filenames, if the file already exists: „Copy of Copy of Copy of Copy of filename.pdf“.

    To prevent this, a checkbox „overwrite, if file exists“ in the pdf-export-options would be very helpful.

  14. It would be nice to have the option to disable hold to zoom as this will often pop up when I am writing any dots, periods, or multiplication signs (I like to make them fairly visible).
    I'm fairly sure Notability has this, so it would be nice to have this option in this app as well.

  17. When zoomed in trying to write, ocasionally the whole thing zooms out having to zoom in again. This is very frustrating, especially when doing things under time restriction such as exams or some kind of quiz. I have noticed that this happens when moving the palm when writing.

  18. The iPad dock line at the bottom interferes a lot with my hand while taking notes. I see that other apps like Procreate hide the dock line, and I need an extra gesture to get the line visible. This feature will be awesome on Goodnotes as I currently have a bad experience where an entire line of writing disappears sometimes because the iPad dock line was engaged by the bottom of my hand that was resting.

  20. When writing, I would love the option to duplicate whatever I wrote/drew using the lasso Tool directly (just moving the selected handwriting) like I can do with images. also for some reason it's possible when using split screen but not in the same page. I will attach a video of me duplicating something right away using split screen and then how it's possible to do with the same page ( it takes longer and not as efficient) I will be talking to explain further. thank you
