  1. When I zoom in and add sticker, it will go out of the screen and create in the middle of the page, so every time I have to zoom out and adjust the scale and position of it. It’s quite annoying.

  4. Elements tool:
    Tapping its icon in the toolbar will show a popover which is anchored to the icon in the tool bar.
    Tapping anywhere on the page will show a popover that is anchored to the tapped spot on the page. No blue placeholder symbol indicating that an element will be placed there.

    Image tool:

  5. This applies mainly to the situation when I am using an Apple Pencil.
    Let’s say I want to resize and reposition an object (image, shape or element).
    Right now, when a tool like the pen or the marker is selected, I have to tap and hold the object with my finger to bring up the edit menu. Then I have to select "Edit" to select the object and make it editable.
    Or I have to switch to the image, shape or element tool in the toolbar. Then I can tap the object with my pencil (or finger) to resize it…

  6. Editing text in text fields should work the way it does in Pages or Word because that’s what people are used to. It’s confusing that GoodNotes has a different way of handling this and it throws me off every time I’m working with text fields.
    In Pages and Word, clicking a text field once selects it. Then you can click it again to get the cursor to appear so that you can start typing. To deselect the text field, you just click anywhere else in the page.
    However, in GoodNotes, after clicking a text field once to select it, clicking…

  7. the function of cut, copy, delete etc when selecting text,images and such are so far given in a horizontal manner.
    I would like to suggest to switch the display of the options to a list, instead of a long horizontal pop up.

    even after so much use of the app, it’s not intuitive to my eyes, and if by chance more users would feel the same, it might make the UX more smooth , thanks in advance ;)

  8. I've read the work-around of using two windows, but sometimes I want to zoom into a particular part of my visualization and lock this part, so students can better read this part. And at the same time I might have to zoom in even more so that I can better add aspects. It would be extremely helpful to have this lock-feature again. Especially on a small screen multiple windows result in having not enough space to actually do what I want to do.
    I've seen you closing this request several times, but I wanted to emphasize that the trick is…

  10. As safari shows all the opened tabs in a grid view.

    Need grid view of all the opened documents.

    Thus it becomes very easy to navigate between multiple tabs of opened documents.

  17. Needless to say, there are many advantages of goodnotes. Here is a Chinese user who loves handwriting:
    I am a student who attaches great importance to handwriting experience. I like the experience of writing on paper and yearn for the convenience of taking notes on iPad. Therefore, I have been looking for a note taking software that can not only facilitate me to take notes, but also retain my experience of writing on paper to the greatest extent
    After trying many software such as goodnotes, notability, marginnotes3, prodrafts and 印象笔记, I found that the function of goodnotes is the most…

  18. It is unnecessarily frustrating that when you select an item in the toolbar, you can't select that toolbar item again to deselect/get out of its menu. Your only options are to tap the top of the screen, or tap the page, which writes on it immediately and then you have to erase that. It's such a dumb and simple problem to fix, cmon.

  19. Please remove the ability to move a line with a finger. If I want to make changes to the document I will use my pencil. The finger is only for scrolling/navigating. I dont want to always switch to the „reading mode“ before I scroll around in the document.

  20. as of now, it’s a fairly standard text input box, but i’d love if we could have the functionality of Pages, where it’s already formatted for text
