  1. 1) Apple Pencil “Hover” Not Applied

    The apple pencil “hover” feature does NOT work when using the zoom box. The hover feature only works when writing directly in the main document, without the zoom box activated.

    2) Hold To Convert Does Not Register

    Holding to convert stroke does not register in zoom box or the blue highlighted box that progress page to create writing space.

    example: you’re using the zoom box to write -> the blue highlight box appears to alert you it’s time to progress the text line > you make your next stroke inside of the blue area,…

  5. 저는 아이패드와 서피스를 가지고 업무 및 학습을 하는 사람입니다.
    아이패드는 굿노트5를 무제한 일회성 결제를 해놔 메인 필기용으로 사용하고, 서피스는 무료버전이라 보조작업용으로만 사용해야 하여 불편함이 있습니다
    윈도우버전도 무제한 일회성 결제권 또는 동기화를 통하여 파일을 편하게 양쪽에서 사용하고 싶습니다

  11. Zoom minimum is 25%, I can't zoom out any further, despite still not being able to see the whole page. When I try, it snaps back to 25. I've tried the "add another bigger page" hack and I cannot make it work. Please change the zoom system so we can view an entire page at once.

  13. When I type too much text and it goes beyond the bottom of the page, the overflow text doesn't automatically get added to the next page - I need to manually add it.

    Could you make it so that when the text goes beyond the bottom of the page, it gets automatically added to the next page to prevent the need for manual intervention?

    This would allow for a smoother and faster note-taking experience.

  14. When using the selection tool, one can choose which type of objects should be selected or ignored with the toggles. This is not possible for shapes, either the ones drawn using the pen and snapping or the ones using the shape tool. Adding a toggle would make things a lot easier.

  16. adding the tool that enabled you to cover parts of text or just page in general and then reveal what is below just by clicking on it... basically tape feature like in other note-taking apps
    so useful for revising, especially in med, bio, pharm ... and other fields of knowledge

  17. Text formatting

    • (Some) Markdown support -- including the extended syntax
      • TeX and LaTeX support (like $\TeX or \LaTeX$)
      • Inline code and code blocks -- I'm not expecting syntax highlighting due to security reasons
      • Links
      • Footnotes [^*]

    Styling initial paragraphs

    Most of the time, I style the first sentence of my document as Paragraph, not as Heading.

    With the current unresponsive UI when using on macOS, I have to click Style & Formatting and change the style every single time. It would be great if the app could let me set my styling preference for new documents.

  18. Currently you have to long press a link, then choose open link from a menu. This is very time consuming, especially if you are using a daily planner template. yes, you can put the app into "view mode" then it will work in single tap. but that is also time consuming. Please give us the open to single tap in the edit mode. You may be saying "but a single tap will appear as though it's the user trying to write with the pen tool". Well, you could do a little gesture recognition and determine if it's a finger or…

  19. Hi there,

    Being able to collaborate on a documents is excellent.

    I would love the ability to be able to callaborate over bluetooth though. Unfortunately we do not always have the internet available when we are collaborating, and even when we do, we would rather not use the data.
    I imagine this would also result in faster updates when editing a document.

    Thanks
