  2. When I scan a document, there are always white bars around it--I guess you're padding it t the aspect ratio of the current template or something. Don't do that (or make it a setting)--it's a waste of screen real estate.

  3. The shape tool is nice but needs some tweeking/bug fixes

    • shapes should a "first class citizen". Once drawn (or inserted) it should be able to resize, change colour and border thickness. Currently a drawn shape can be scaled and moved but never changed in any other way.
    • sometimes I just want a box but ends up drawing something that isn't 90 degrees in all four corners. I have to undo and redraw and it just kills momentum
    • when I erase hand written text inside a shape and then erase it, I also always erase the background fill.
    • connected arrows. I'd…

  4. 在MAC上操作时,增加一个快捷键。按住“空格”键,可以移动页面。现在只能按“左”、“右”键进行移动,很不方便。

  6. Either code your own or employ a OCR image to text converter. As a student, a lot of the content of my notes are pictures of diagrams or other tables with text. The text on these photos aren’t recognized by the search function but this would be greatly beneficial for being able to find the notes that I need.

  7. I use goodnotes to documents conditions in the field- taking lots of phots using the camera tool. I would like to be able to export those photos as JPG or TIFF or some photo format for using in other apps, like word for writting reports. The only way I have been able to export an actual photo is to share the individual photo. This is not efficient when I have hundreds of photos to upload. There should be a method to export the individual photos in a notebook all at once. Exporting the notebook as a pdf does not work…

  8. As usage of goodnotes increases the sync size also increases and on devices with limited space I end up needing to turn off icloud sync

    It would be helpful to allow, per-configuration options, the ability to sync specific or all folders.

    It would still be useful to sync metadata about all folders for searching, but not necessarily required

  11. Hello guys, I've been using both notability and goodnotes for over almost 2 years now and i still cant crown one over another, but goodnotes is wayt closer to being the king over notability due to the versatility of the app, custom paper, tools, etc, but theres a tool that i use everysingle day, and that it is soooo much better on notability than on goodnotes, and thats the hold to snap / auto shape tool
    I know we already have the snap to other shapes feature, but that is basically useless unlessyoure using lines..
    I would like for you…

  13. Drawing a straight line works really well. It would be great if a beautiful wavy line could also be drawn neatly in a similar way. Teachers use this a lot to underline small errors for example.

  14. I am a student who uses GoodNotes to study.
    I'm mailing to suggest features that would be great when I study in GoodNotes.
    It's moving to a page you've seen before, which is similar to the previous channel feature of the tv remote.

    While studying, there are many cases of moving and looking to refer to pages that are far away, and then returning from the previous ones.
    If this function is added, it seems that the efficiency of study can be improved.
    Thanks for reading :)

  17. If you set your page scrolling to lets say horizontal and you scroll to the right you can create a new page there. What if you can create a new page on the right side and below. That way you have columns and rows for pages. You could import a PDF document vertically and add to every page on its right horizontally a new page.

  18. Taking notes on my iPad is perfect, it's seamless and very user friendly; however, when taking notes on my Mac it's a lot less user friendly. therefore, I kindly request for a more Mac friendly experience when taking notes
