  2. We use goodnotes in school and its hard to like read a text and do notes at the same time, because you have to switch pages every 2 seconds. Thats why i would be nice to have, this zoom-handwriting thing to work at the another page, while you reading at a page.

  3. Dear GoodNotes team, please improve the formatting of written text so that it is placed correctly on a page (e.g. like in Notion or Microsoft Word). I crave for such an improvement, as it would be the solution to the only problem I have with GoodNotes!
    Thank you!

  5. I write text, but want to delete it so use the eraser function. When I remove my apple pencil off the page, it goes back to write function (pen) automatically. Great feature

    I write text. I now highlight the text using the highlighter function on GoodNotes. But it stays on the highlighter function so I have to click back to the pen function to continue writing.

    Why can the highlighter function work like the eraser function in reverting back to pen mode automatically

  8. I often practice for exams with my children. When doing that we take or get pictures or pdfs from the teaching material.

    Today we import each of those a picture, scale it to fit the page and then work with it.

    It would be amazing if we could create a new Notebook by selecting any number of photos and have them imported as a new background.

    It would be almost as good if it could automatically scale the picture to match the page. The reason to have it as background is that we never want anything to be behind it.…

  9. I want to be able to choose which gesture I want to use to undo and redo.
    Let's add a menu for that in the options menu!

  10. The GoodNotes on MacBook Air 2022 does not allow shortcuts for files to be sent from safari directly to GoodNotes. It's also very difficult to use this product on MacBook Air since it glitches when you're selecting text to copy and trying to unselect it.

    I truly enjoyed GoodNotes in the past so I'm hoping someone sees this and fixes these bugs on the software.

  11. I am using pencil gen 2 with iPad, what I met as following:
    - Use lasso tool to select a section in the page
    - Tap pencil twice (for daily usage, this act will do incautiously)
    - Lasso tool will be switched to eraser tool, and selected section will be lost
    - Even you try to tap pencil twice again, tool will be lasso tool again, however you will have to select the previous section again.

  13. The clocks colour is not visible on white backgrounds due to the time beeing in white (same as the charge and wifi icon). It would be great if its colour would be adaptive or atleast not also white.

  15. It would be very nice to be able to add pages to the side in vertical mode and on the bottom in Horizontal mode as well. I have to import PDF´s quite regularly and they tend to be in the way a lot. If they were next to each other and would just take the effort to scroll as every other page it would be much easier and they would just be there if you need them.

  16. It is so easy to accidentally close a tab/page. Please tweak the close tab button to be double tap.

    Would be nicer if you add a function to restore deleted tab.

  17. Despite Google Drive implementation, GoodNotes is not able to import Docs or Slides. I know there are workarounds, but those add too many steps to my workflow. It would be great to be able to import and mark up a document or set of slides.

  18. I love using GoodNotes with the outline feature for digital journaling. The only thing missing is that physical A5 book to hold in your hands. It would be so amazing to have a service to order a bound book once 250-300 pages in an A5 style notebook has been filled. Also to have a journal notebook option where page numbers are added, A5 is default, and landscape mode allows for a full 2 page spread to be shown. We get an amazing feature and it's monetizing for the devs. Win win.

  19. Especially in the dark flashcards, if I have my display brightness set too low (like during the night) it becomes really difficult to see where the "question" space ends and the "answer" space begins. So I propose changing the line and font color to a bright gray to read it better!

  20. Have an option for a block of content to be copied to another page and any edits on either copy shows up on the other one. So for example, you could have a block of writing on a monthly calendar page and then sync it to a specific day's page so you don't have to rewrite everything. What you write on the monthly calendar for that day automatically shows up on the individual day page also.
