  4. One main issue imo is that working with large PDFs is vergy laggy. I didn't test anything bettwen but PDFs with like 10 pages worked totally fine for me. No performance issues detected. But then I loaded an Ebook (PDF) with about 800 Pages into Goodnotes and working with that was absolutely painful. Not only is the writing very laggy. Sometimes Goodnotes "swallows" my writing and just draws a straight line instead. But also the scrolling and overall navigation is very laggy. If I scroll a few pagers further it takes sometimes a a while like…

  5. Ich würde mir wünschen wenn man endlich einen link zur nächsten Seite setzen könnte. Ich benutze gerne mein eigenen planer den ich auf goodnotes gestaltet habe. Und möchte aber nicht noch ein anderes Programm benutzen müssen, um einen link zu setzen.

  7. Sometimes Goodnotes is very slow. When it comes to switch between notebooks or browsing he directories Goodnotes takes ~10s time to load or to display the new notebook. Could you make it faster?

    When I open notebooks, I often see empty pages (whose content surely exist). I have to reopen them to see everything. Unfortunately, the empty pages are also in the PDF exports!

  8. I copied a whole page of Notes to move it around. Unfortunately I had too much confidence in this product and cut the page out and pasted it in on another page, afterwards the programm crashed and it only saved the the document where I cu the page out.
    What you can do better:
    1. Do version control (back ups), since everyone has sensitive documents and notes they cannot lose.

    Secondly I wanted to import the old file (my backup) and I couldnt continue working on it because GoodNotes recognized it as normal pdf.
    2. Add so you can…

  9. goodnotes as a windows native app with the created files and folders accessible/managable throu the file explorer.
    option to choose where to save the files (saving on another drive for example, switching standart folder would also be useful)

    the folders and subfolders created in the app are made in the selcted folder, accessing it via file explorer will give you the exact same strukture

    advantages:
    -easy selecting of specific files via explorer without the need to exit already opend files (if you need to look something up while working on homework)
    -possibillity to share specifi files or complete folders without…

  10. Even though the app is still in its early stages, it would be really convenient to be able to navigate through notebooks using outlines like with the IOS version.
    I'm currently link sharing and then opening notebooks online that way (so I can do hw on my iPad and see my notes on my laptop) but it's really difficult to navigate notebooks. I think this feature would be an insane QOL thing

  11. Please make all pages the same size. Sometimes I find it hard to navigate from an oversized pdf page to a default good notes page. It would be nice if you made all pages the same size!

  12. I find goodnotes is pretty good and convenient app as it can draw the shape quickly and its ability to annotate pdf with adding pages and so. However, there might be some bug as I cannot use my lasso select sometimes using my surface pen 2 to hold it. The textbox and keyboard features should be included as it can bring a lot of convenience to the user. I hope the export pdf function is included as well otherwise we can't export our pdf and our work.

  13. Sort : by created - by name - by modified
    View : list by name, list by medium Icon, list by Large Icon
    Edit : Select pages (delete, copy or duplicate, share as a pdf file and etc.)
    Filter : by words, by sticky notes and etc.

  14. Sometimes I erase something and when i export that doc into a pdf, it's still showing, then even if i close the windows app it isn't erased when i export it but can't delete it because it is no there in the app.

  15. Title. The export function seems to be very inconsistent, where sometimes it will take a few seconds to generate a pdf, and other times it will take minutes. This is pretty bad compared to other note taking apps that I have used.

  20. Currently, GoodNotes is web based and more like a cloud-based service.

    This needs to change. It needs to become a native Windows app that runs natively on Windows instead through some hoops in order to make it run in a browser and then create some kind of GUI for it to make it look like a native app.

    Add more features like on Apple iPad, inserting and exporting PDF's and pictures, make it cross-platform at least through the browser so people can access their notes on their phones and different devices. More colors like on the iPad.

    As many…
