  1. Is there any major differences guys,

    The main difference that i'm aware of is the no tax on spread betting profits,which i find highly appealing.

    Is it as easy trade via spread betting as the normal way ?

    Regards...

  2. I think it would be a nice add to the app if, every month or year, we would receive a summary of the number of real paper sheets that we saved now that we use digital ones. After some time, it could also tell us how many trees we saved or how many we could save in the future if we continue to use the app. Overall, this could be a good way to promote Goodnotes with friends or family!

  4. Currently it takes quite a bit of effort to swipe between pages in Goodnotes. I think this was possibly a conscious choice but it has been this way at least since Goodnotes 4. Swiping takes a large travel distance on the screen by the user’s finger, and not just the velocity of the swipe. I feel like the interface should line up with Apple’s native page swiping feel (think pdfs in Books or the App Drawer).

    The current threshold to change pages makes sense for adding new pages, but it makes swiping between pages more difficult than it needs to…

  5. There are many great templates included in GoodNotes, but many times none of them are right for the format or type of notebook I'd like to create.

    It would be great if there would be some sort of page template design import ability. For instance a vector design of a template page in a SVG or PDF format.

  6. Undo/Redo hotkey has been removed recently.
    I'm really frustrated.

    Can you re-add Cmd-Z/Cmd-Shift-Z hotkey?

    It's definitely mandatory hotkey for keyboard users, and it's the most frequently used hotkey. with the pencil on my right hand, and with Cmd-Z hotkey on my left hand, it was a perfect way to draw and erase something almost at the same time.

    if not, I have to click "undo" icon.
    That's very inconvenient for ipad-keyboard users. Pls... ㅠ.ㅠ

  9. I feel that the auto advance window is a bit annoying, when you are concentrating on making your handwriting readable and it just moves on when the blue box is on the left.

    I would like to improve the box by putting the function as an icon or enable when the zoom appears, so that you can enable and disable it rather than going to the setting of documents.

    Also, it would be nice if the blue box for auto advance can be top or below the whole document within the zoom, as you can have option of switching top…

  10. I kept being annoyed at auto advance everytime I use it… It sorts of breaks my concentration as I write small words into the page. Right now, I have it disabled. It would be nice if we can have the option available as an icon since most people likes to use it.

    The blue frame for auto advance should be bigger as it is easier to see the flow of words towards the edge of the page, rather than it being way in edge of left side. Even left-handed people will benefit it too.

  11. Among the basic apps, if you look at Books, there is a scroll that allows you to move quickly along with a horizontal preview.

    However, in good notes5, vertical scrolling is required, but you can move by pressing the scroll button.

    In horizontal scrolling mode, you can only move one page at a time.

    If this is improved when writing in landscape mode, not only vertical scroll users but also horizontal scroll users will be very satisfied.

    Thank you.

  15. When inserting a picture taken by camera at real time, I need the scanned version, rather than the original picture. This function is supported by OneNote a long time ago, and they call it "Blackboard" mode in the camera. I hope this can be added to GoodNotes as well. Thank you~

  17. I initially had a custom pen color palette with no problems. However, after I decided to delete my colors and replace them with newever colors, my palette always resets to the old custom palette I had. I constantly lose the new colors I create and this occurs for my highlighter colors too.

  18. Every time a new version of the same script (film/tv) comes out, I would love to be able to transfer my notes and additional pages to the new script.
    At the moment I have to manually transfer one note and additional page at a time.

  19. It is very annoying to have an original pdf where original dimensions are larger than the default A4 pages of goodnotes.

    If I want to add a blank page to take supplementary notes, I have to struggle with that.

  20. I'm using GN intensiv and missing one important feature: Virtual Notebook(s) based on a search. This feature should be similar to the intelligent folder in apple mail. I'd like to define a search by keyword as a Virtual notebook. This will help me to quickly get an overview on all pages wich belongs to my key word(s). Having multiple virtual notebooks will help me organizing my self even better.
    It should be possible to read and write in the virtual notebook. Adding a new page should optional add a text box with the key words.

    Use Case: I'm using GN…
