  1. Since the addition of the timer, a random name generator would be beneficial for classroom randomization. As a teacher, randomization is essential for a classroom environment to ensure all students are learning. I teach on my iPad, and switching between windows is inconvenient.

  3. My idea is when the teacher posts a new homework, the students can get a notification on their device. A follow up to this idea is we can get a schedule in the menu. The schedule can show us what homework we have, when it is due and which notebook it is located. In the schedule, students can also write their own dates (e.g. exams, quizzes etc)

  4. I mainly use typing through text boxes and use multiple fonts.

    Previously, there was a feature where recently used fonts were displayed at the top and could be changed to that font when pressed, but this feature disappeared after an update.

    Currently, it only shows the recently used fonts, so if I want to change to that font, I have to find it again.

    I really hope this feature will be restored again.

  5. It is clearly one thing that makes GoodNotes compete with Notability and it is super useful for students! Since it is implemented in iOS, it should be in Android as well to make many users who are hesitant to change from iOS without a Notability replacement with this tool. Thanks!

  6. As we can read here: https://support.goodnotes.com/hc/en-us/articles/7445581406095-Share-notebooks-between-iOS-and-other-platforms#share-notebooks-between-ios-and-other-platforms-0-0 the complete synchronisation between iOS App and Web Apps is not possible yet, but Link Sharing and editing should be working.
    I just was testing the Link Sharing and editing option. The Sharing Option works, but the editing option does not synchronize between iOS App and WebApp.

    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Create Notebook on iOS App.
    2. Create Share Link for that notebook in iOS App.
    3. Open Link in Browser or Windows App.
    4. Edit in Browser or Windows App.
    5. Wait for Status "Synchronised" in Windows App.
    6. Wait for Synchronisation in…

  7. When selecting handwritten text, there is this "A" with the text cursor icon which I often confuse with an "AI" function. I think that some other icon would be really helpful to avoid confusion.

    Here is a suggestion for a better icon: https://www.flaticon.com/free-icon/text-editor_2535559

    In the screenshot, I highlighted the problem.

  9. On the board, the students can see where I am going to change the text or continue writing, as well as what I am commenting on and pointing out with my other hand. This is what makes the blackboard so effective.

    If you want to replace the blackboard with GoodNotes, this would also have to be made possible. Technically, I think this would be possible. In presentation mode, the tip of the writing tool can be displayed (even before writing, in hover mode) and other parts of the text can be marked with a finger, which can be commented on…

  10. I believe it would be a lot easier if all colours were linked as this would mean that I don’t have to add colours I like using to the pen, pencil, highlighter, and text colours. I’d only need to add it once rather than twice.

    It would also be good if we could have our own colour pallets similar to procreate as they can then be named, which makes it easier than scrolling through all the colours I have trying to find the colour I’m after as I’ve got so many colours now I’m easily loosing them! It could also…

  11. Moveability of the virtual page on the virtual background would be a huge banger. Maybe even rotation to fit to the user natural hand allignment on the page.

    Why?

    I ALWAYS have that huge problem on the lower part of every page. Cant access it porperly because of the rim of my iPad. It gets worse with my confuguration because i have heavy duty case (work in industry) which thickens the iPad alot.

    ofc I would have the same problem with normal paper or notebooks.. but we could have that option, right? :D

  12. Hello, in the attachments I have added screenshots from only one CollaNote application, in which, in addition to basic pens, calligraphy pens and a classic pencil, we also get a dozen or so decorative artistic and 3D markers. Goodnotes is great, but it lags behind the competition when it comes to markers. Please add new pens.

  13. I can't find specific templates in the market place. It would be nice if there was a way to search for something like, "habit trackers" or even a theme.

  14. I’m so pleased with study sets, it’s very useful function for studying.
    But when I practice the sets it’s hard to read the cards because the texts on the screen are too small to read. Even though in horizontal mode, the text size is same to in vertical one.
    I hope it be improved asap. Please refer to screenshots I sent.

  15. Many cross stitchers use Goodnotes to stitch downloaded pdf patterns and highlight the charts(graphs) to keep track of where they are and know what percentage they have completed. Many like to track stitch count (per stitching session and cumulative), so it would be nice if Goodnotes had this feature. Thanks for considering this suggestion.

  17. Please i beg you it would be so much more convenient to have access to folders by having the option to expand on the left side of the screen like how the apple filing system works on files or finder. It is such a simple change i don't understand why it is not being implemented. thank you

  18. please make a function to link another document within a document!!

    I am making a short summary to study for my class final, I would love to be able to link a different document within my goodnotes folders to a specific word to have more detailed information

    for example: my note says " - the sea is full of organisms", I then tap on the word "organism" and my notes on organisms I took during class pop up, because I was able to link them to my short summary

  20. 檔名較長時在修改檔案名稱的時候常常按不到最前面跟最後面,會一直跳出。
    螢光筆希望可以出水平直線功能,不是畫了按住不放才直線,這樣要等很久,而且只要稍微歪一點,就會變成斜直線,要有一個可以強制開啟水平直線的功能。
