  1. In other apps when you scroll at speed, and then contact the trackpad with your fingers, the scrolling stops immediately. However, in GoodNotes, scrolling does not stop even when fingers contact the trackpad.

    Having a scrolling behavior that stops exactly when you want it to makes it much easier to quickly see a page as you scroll so that you know whether you’re on the right page yet, and also allows you to quickly scroll a single page down with a flick of the fingers, and then stop it immediately. It may not seem like much in writing, but it…

  2. when clicking on text, the keyboard automatically pops up and covers half the screen which makes it really hard to navigate or choose fonts and sizes etc. because the windows are super small. When deactivating the keyboard, the text edition mode also deactivates. It would be great if the keyboard could be deactivated while still in text editing mode. :)

  3. I would love the ability to have shared notebooks between users, in a "read only" or "read and write" capacity such as the sharing available on the native "notes" app for iOS and MacOS. This way we could share class/work notes with our colleagues in live time.

  4. I have downloaded and imported a PDF which has a structure which is visible in goodnotes and makes it easier to navigate. However, when I check the PDF which is automatically synced to my Dropbox, it does not have the structure which is unfortunate as I see no reason for it to be omitted when you're already able to successfully import it.

  5. I’m a new user, so this might be a clarification request rather than a feature request, but I’m doing something that makes the tool switch randomly from pen to eraser. Is there a setting somewhere I can change to make it stop doing this? If I want the eraser I’ll pick the eraser.

  6. It would be so awsome for the autobackup feature to have an option to backup all docs to pdf but without the background template. i know it can be tricky if you wrote on a black template with white ink, but for all people using templates just as a guide to keep sentences straight and a yellowish paper colour to avoid eye strain it would be the best feature ever

  7. Option to keep adding new pages to a file when we get current page half written, like instead of being always swiping up or manually adding a new page when we need it is a waste of time, with a simple option you could auto add new pages as getting to the bottom of the current page

  8. The tool bar is where most magic starts, so it should be something really simple, easy access and unintrusive but yours has too many items and takes valuable space from the screen, mainly if we are landscape. Could use the top bar wheres the document title to integrate the toolbar there and the title of the document would be somewhere else, again, notability does this perfectly
    And also plz, let us move the tool bar to the bottom without moving the entire top bar with it

  9. In imported PDF drawings generated in autoCAD standard SHX type text is surrounded by a thick black frame, destroying the appearance of the drawing.
    This does not happen in acrobat for iOS.

  10. I believe that you all should do an X-ray feature like kindle does that allows you to view only the highlighted portions of your document. This will allow a more condensed view of the things that you deemed most important in the document. This would be so helpful with students as it would allow them a much quicker way to create summary sheets of lectures by distilling only the things that they highlighted ie. what they found most important.

  11. Extremely useful for slowly displaying the contents during a technical lecture

    Select a region. Add option to hide content (In addition to Screenshot). Replace that region with a small square with a number (for sequencing). Tapping the squre again makes content visible.

  20. Safari PDF export and iPad OS full page screenshot generate a long single page PDF file. If I read it and then close, next time it opens zoomed out so that the whole single page is visible, so I lose the reading progress.

    With multi page PDFs this seems to be working, so this may even be a feature caused by that zoomed out view: it would be better to open the pdf so that you match the viewport to the display width.
