    1. Es fehlt ein button mit dem man alle geöffneten Seiten auf einmal schliessen kann.
    2. Bilder sollten durch ziehen einfacher auf die selbe Grösse des schon eingefügten Bildes gebracht werden können. (Auf dieselbe Grösse snapen)

  2. GoodNotes on MacOS needs changes to the Text box.

    It runs off the edge of the page. So if I am typing the words go right to the edge then the text will run to the next line. No margin at all. This means when I start to type in a text box and type more than one line, I then need to move the text box to the left so I can then resize it to move it back to the right. This is pretty inconvenient. Should be a way to leave a margin on the page.

  3. When you tap in an iPad with three fingers, a bubble with redo and undo buttons will appear on the top of the screen. It could be useful, however, GoodNotes seems to support only the undo function, while the redo button can never be activated. I’m wondering maybe you can fix this problem.

  4. Allow for inverting colors of a document opened in the app. Nothing fancy like iOS smart invert needed; just invert all colors in document ignoring menu and drawing/highlighter colors. My eyes are sensitive to light, but I need to use an iPad to be able to view my textbooks in large print and take notes; I literally use sunglasses while studying, cause I require the contrast so lowering brightness doesn't help. Smart invert also doesn't work, and regular iOS invert is annoying to turn on and off as I am switching back and forth between apps during long and short…

  5. Better organisation options through internal links!! When you have a lot of notes you don't want to be searching through hundreds of pages for the specific topic your looking for! I would love to be able to create an index where I click on the topic and it will take me there, like google docs does (one of my favourite features). Maybe different personalisation options side tabs like a binder and you can click them to go to the specified area (as a seperate option not instead of basic internal links). I have found people asking for this as far…

  8. Pretty much the title, just like normal documents you can share the flashcards with one link and can collaborate and real time add on to it with your friends.

  9. The handwriting experience in GoodNotes 4 is much better, because the fountain pen is not that exaggerated like in GoodNotes 5. Please optimise this.

  11. Instead of opening a new document to go back, there should be another easier way to go back and forth smoothly

  12. Thank you so much for adding a Windows app.

    It would be very nice to link it to my IOS account. I've gotten around this by sharing the workbooks through E-Mail, but I look forward to when I can work seamlessly across my personal intermixed ecosystem. Thank you for continuing to improve.

  13. We move files between users and folders. Each time a user opens a GoodNotes file and exports it with his her changes, a date stamp is added to the file name. This feature forces our team to manually rename the file to its original file name, I.e. remove the date stamp.

  14. I often scan documents by using GoodNote's function. Scan docs then write down memo with Apple Pencil on GoodNotes.
    Most Hiragana and Katakana are ok, but Kanji isn't. For example, printed word is "揉捏", but recognized string will be "探程" , "操探" etc. It happens even though scanned image is clear. Those characters' shape is totally different from the original string for Japanese or Kanji users.

    I would be appreciate if OCR could be improved.
    I also understood kanji character's shape is complicated and OCR library might be limited. So correcting OCRed string can be alternative.

  15. Inspired by notability, it would be very nice to be able to drag in a notebook or scratch pad WITHIN a document/slideshow/pdf to be able to take notes alongside the presentation. This way one wouldn't be stuck with writing on the slides or adding slides in between.

    This way, the notebook page and the document are one entity, always together and notes always align with the part of the presentation you're taking notes on.

  17. Just happened to compare my writing on goodnotes & notability, goodnotes seems to have lag with my writing whereas notability is super smooth with an unnoticeable lag. Kindly look up to resolve as goodnotes is my favourite.

  19. Can you add support for 120hz writing, it makes writing notes much more responsive.
