  1. This is an amazing feature notability has that is extremely welcome and needed in Goodnotes. The text function in goodnotes is flawed and if you don’t use the default 24 point, you are completely out of luck and text doesn’t line up with the spacings

  2. At base, Go to Last requires far less clicks compared to Go to Page. For example,

    With Go to Last:
    1) Click overflow menu
    2) Click Go to Last

    Without Go to Last:
    1) Click overflow menu
    2) Click Go to Page to highlight page numbers (“remember” what the last page number is because the number changes to the current page when clicked)
    3) Type first digit (from this point forward one is interfacing with the keyboard)
    4) Type second digit...and so on
    5) Type Enter

    So you can see there are not only more clicks, but there is an…

  6. The pdf outline tab is a great feature and it is already incorporated.
    It would be fabulous to use this collapsable outline to structure and easily navigate lengthier notebooks. For instance for study notes this would be more than helpful.
    On the other i could often use these little red flags as bookmark signs like other apps have (bamboo paper, notability and most ebook readers). This is faster because you dont need to specify a bookmark text, you can unmark easily and you have a visual clue in the thumnail preview.
    The bookmarks tab could then be used to show…

  7. I like the toolbar at the bottom because it's easier to change between pen, eraser and highlighter like that. But, when the toolbar is set to bottom, the zoom window moves to the top of the screen, which is more or less unusable. Please keep the zoom window on the bottom or maybe put the full tool bar directly on the zoom window.

  8. I sometimes create PDFs that I then fill in with Goodnotes. Having support for importing PDFs with multiple pages as templates would be very useful.

  9. I wannna read two pages as spread. It's not about split view, some files are made as two pages spread and it is terrible to read such files in split view, scrolling both ends of iPad over and over again. So please consider this feature to be implemented.

  11. Currently in experimental nmode, there is no way to see all flash cards in a study set, nor to move them to different sets. In case that isn‘t planned: that would be crucial for the feature to be usable properly.

  16. My iPad is large and there is a lot of unused space next to the color dots on the toolbar. I think there could be space for extra colors.

  17. It would be great if goodnotes adds a pencil tool just like in apple's notes app. I find apple's pencil tool is feels and looks like you're actually writing using a pencil.
    it would be excellent too if you would add a ruler tool or a protractor tool so that users could draw engineering diagrams accurately. I find it annoying that when you want to rotate a selected object, its difficult to rotate the object to our liking without changing the size. And i suggest when you rotate an object it would show the angle of the rotation.

  18. I love using GoodNotes since it is so user friendly, however the only thing I find that is missing is the double page viewing option, so if I’m using a workbook, I can see both pages at once and flip through it like a normal tangible book. I know there is the option of opening a separate window but if I’m only using my iPhone, that isn’t possible. This would be an AMAZING feature and I think would honestly make a lot of people happy!!

  19. Hi, the shapes figure option has a lot of difficulty recognizing hexagones and octogones, and double lines. It would be really nice to be able to draw those shapes for organic chemistry! Thank you so much!
