  2. When downloading Windows-only Good Notes, please allow them to be downloaded directly from the Good Notes site without going through the Microsoft Store.

    This is because download errors often occur in Microsoft stores.

    I threw away 2 hours because of this. I couldn't even download it after all.

  3. Please add the writing sound like writing on real paper because it feels really nice.

  4. In the new feature of smart study flashcards, the typing section is stuck with one font and one format. If I could explained with different colors, formatting subscripts/superscripts it’d be super convenient and imp[rove my experience. Thanks for all of y’all hardwork!

  5. Could we get an option to adjust the opacity of the highlighter we are using? In using it as a marker it would be nice to have the option for the color to be fully opaque, and then sometimes when highlighting it is nice to have a color brighter in some areas and more transparent in others.

  7. I know this might sound weird, but if I find that something on the support site isn't working properly, what should I do to report the issue? There's nothing in the "Please select the main component that is causing problems" field that I see relevant.

    I recently filed a request on the support site and found that my request status was marked as 'solved'.

  9. I have been a Goodnotes user for over 5 years, and it is currently my primary note-taking app for my studies in medical school. I have recently noticed a small redundancy that I believe can make the user experience a lot smoother if a slight improvement is made. When accessing the outlines within a notebook composed of imported PDFs, there are both custom outlines and auto-imported PDF outlines. As is the case with many students, the PDF outlines are often cluttered and sometimes irrelevant, so custom outlines are instead used to divide the various subsections (eg. lectures) within a notebook.…

  10. Because there is no way to contact your company, I am putting my issue here.
    The newest version has an issue on my iPad that while handwriting with the apple pencil, portions of my writing erases without me changing pencil types. If I use the redo button, it will back up to what I just wrote. I have all the latest updates of the app and iPad installed.

  12. I like the dot grid because it’s more subtle than the squared grid, but unfortunately the dot grid is huge now and it sucks! I’d like to submit an idea to have the dot spacings be adjustable. This would be nice to have for the graphed and lined paper as well!

  13. GoodNotes takes forever to Sync updated documents between two devices, forever being several hours. This contradicts the entire functionality. Had this problem with several different devices and versions (since several years).
    I find it infuriating that I am forced to update Goodnotes and pay money again and again and this issue is still not fixed.

  15. I am using this application in Japanese.
    Japanese has horizontal writing (top left to right) , like English, etc., and vertical writing (top right to bottom). Currently, it is very difficult to input text in vertical writing mode, so I would like you to add a ruled note for vertical writing. Also, if possible, we would appreciate it if you could add support for input mode.
    Please implement this in the Goodnote Shop, even if it is sold for a fee.

  16. Not sure if anyone has suggested this. I am using Goodnotes on both my Mac and iPad. It takes quite a while for the notes to sync between the 2 devices. And sometimes it does not even sync. It would be good if Goodnotes can use Mac as a local cloud server, and notes can be synced seamlessly.

  17. Liebes Goodnotesteam:

    Ich habe einige Ideen, die zur Verbesserung der App beitragen könnten:

    -wie schon bereits genannt wäre es sehr praktisch, wenn man das Layout mehrer Seiten auf einmal ändern könnte
    - es wäre Praktisch wenn man Bildschirmfotos direkt in Sticker umwandeln könnte und nicht den Umweg über die Galerie gehen müsste
    - Es wäre zudem super praktisch, wenn das Geschrieben in Text umgewandelt werden könnte, dass Layout des Geschriebenen aber beibehalten würde
    - Eine Tabellenfunktion wäre super
    -Eine Handletteringfunktion wäre auch super
    - Es wäre toll, wenn Sticker aus der Vorlage von der Größe auch seitlich in die Länge…

  18. It would be awesome if when I drew two rectangles using the shape tool, Goodnotes could recognize one of the shapes has an intersecting border with the other one, and combine the two shapes while just keeping the exterior borders.

    Or, instead of automatically recognizing the intersections, create an "erase up to intersection" option for the eraser specifically for shapes.

    This could also be used to create a wider variety of shapes without having to program in recognition algorithms for semi circles, plus signs, ect.
