  3. Viele haben das Problem, dass die neuste Seite immer oben ist. Das ist allerdings sehr unpraktisch. Die Seiten manuell zu tauschen, dauert sehr lange bei Notizbüchern mit über 200 Seiten.
    Eine Funktion, die die Reihenfolge tauschen würde, sodass die oberste Seite zur Untersten wird, wäre ziemlich hilfreich.

  4. I usually use GoodNote to take note from lecture and 80% of the time, the palm rejection did a good job. However, once in a while, the palm rejection will fail and it accepts the input from my resting fingers, which cause the unwanted zoom-in/zoom-out or movement of the page. This situation is very annoying because I have to adjust back to the original size and position of the page and keep writing. Sometimes this happen when I am still taking the note, and it really stop me from focusing the content on the lecture. I personally don't like my…

  5. If you change the orientation of a document to either vertical or horizontal scrolling it will make it a default setting affecting other documents. I like viewing some files in vertical mode while having my planner be horizontal. This makes me rely on other notetaking apps instead of just one. Please consider making a default setting for the orientation of the documents and also make distinct settings for documents. This will help in me just rely on one app!

  6. Goodnotes currently compresses images when importing them into a document. Having the ability to deactivate the compression of images will help greatly in those who import images as templates very often. Please consider making this option available while also making sure this won't lag the document.

  7. Either a second toolbar like the existing one (but much smaller, less tools, and movable on the entire display) or a movable „tool-point“ which opens some customized tools.

  8. Just dragging the pencil over the txt should select and allow drag and drop

    Copy , cut and paste - the Text must be from the PDF and not what’s added by goodnotes.

  9. I would love to see a quick toggle (like the double tap on Apple Pencil) to easily change to and from read-only mode. Maybe a gesture like the two-finger double tap for ‘undo’. This would be very helpful for being able to click hyperlinks and quickly navigating a document with many pages.

  10. Let’s face it, google docs is one of the best note taking apps out there but it lacks all the handwritten features GoodNotes has. I’d like to see more text formatting options so that if I did want to type out an essay, I could stay on my GoodNotes app instead of moving over towards google docs or word.

    There are too many formatting options on google docs and word but I’m sure everyone is familiar with their formatting options

  11. Many apps automatically change your hand written notes into text but with this app, you must convert it, and then copy it to your clipboard. Afterwards, you have to lasso your hand written text and then delete it and paste the typed text into the document. Way too time consuming. Why not just select what we want converted and then automatically convert it to text?

  12. Say you’re drawing a graph and decide later you want to change the color of the lines for better distinction. I’d like to select that one line with the drawing tool and be given the option to change its color and thickness. Although this can be done using the lasso tool, I found that using lasso makes it difficult to isolate one line when it’s intertwined with other lines on the graph. It’d be much easier to make edits with the drawing tool. If you use notability, you’ll know what I’m talking about

  18. As a left hander it often happens that the page jumps or the zoom changes while writing. It would be nice to have a button which locks the zoom and the position of the page. Alternatively I would like to have a sidebar on the left side to put my hand to reduce the page jumps and zoom changes.

  19. While creating a shape, it is possible to freely change its proportions (ie, a square into a rectangle, or a circle into an ellipse). Afterwards, however, these proportions become locked: the 'resize' function works in effect as 'rescale'. I often find, however, that I need to change them, f. example if I am using the shape to outline some handwritten text, and I add to that text. I often end up having to redraw the entire shape.

    All you would need to do is to let the 'resize' option work for shapes in the same way as it already does…

  20. Optional (on/off or even multiples of X degrees) angle snap for lines. Example: setting: every 15 degrees, if I drew a line and held it between 28 and 32 degrees, it would automatically snap to 30 degrees. As an engineering student who draws a lot of shapes, it would be awesome.
