  1. While there is a button named "define" on the right click list, it is not working or popping anything up. I'm wondering if anyone is facing the same problem.

  2. In the "More" (i.e. ...) section, we can see the current page number and it would be practical to have "Go To Page" just below. I also wish to suggest adding some space, perhaps a section title, and group together "Clear Page" and "Move Page to Trash". I very frequently use "Go To Page" and always have to be careful to be precise so I don't accidentally press "Clear Page".

  4. Für viele komplexe Aufgaben wird bei der Konstruktion eine genaue Gradzahl benötigt. Mit einem Geodreieck wäre dies auch ohne andere App leicht möglich.

  6. GoodNotes takes several gigabytes (sometimes more than 10 gigs) of RAM on my computer for just 5 documents. These are not fancy documents, just one note with 17 pages, one grayscale textbook PDF around 400 pages, and 3 more notes with about 5 pages each. This definitely should be fixed. This happens when the GoodNotes is running for several days, and seems like GoodNotes will never release acquired RAM, which is something any programmer should have learned in his/her Introduction to Programing course. Chrome, which is famous for its RAM consumption, "only" (I used the word loosely, comparing to GoodNotes…

  8. Bug: When a pdf file was the last one I opened and then I moved it to the trash bin, it tries to be reopened and throws error when I open GoodNotes app again.

    Solution: Make sure the deleted file is also closed, preventing it to try to be reopened as the last one I edited when GoodNotes app is opened again.

  9. Would be nice to have an "insert line" option/feature like in Apple notes. It's frustrating not being able to go back and add additional notes to certain pages.

  10. Especially with the fountain or brush pen, some darkening of the color on a downstroke or with more pressure applied so it looks more like those pens in real life. Kind of like in the example, which came from procreate

  12. When you you have a note open, clicking on its name disclosure arrow reveals where it is in the folder hierarchy. It would be great if one could click on one of those folders, and go there (just as one does in OS X). It would save a lot step-by-step navigation, particularly if all you want to do is (also) open another note in the same folder.

  13. Make the main bar light when the system of the device is light and dark when the system of the device is dark, (by main bar I mean the dark blue bar on the pic)

  14. Optional list-view for the pages instead of thumbnails
    (similar as the solution for the documents)

  15. in the other templates section the portrait / landscape - chooser should be a toggle-switch (safe one click)

    The appearance should be pre-selected to the previous page (safe one click in most cases)

  16. I often need to change scrolling direction due to the fact that this setting cannot be applied to each document independently.
    Therefore, it would really help if the scrolling direction menu item was a simple toggle button, which would make perfect sense since there are only two options and so it is totally unnecessary to dive further in the menu settings to be able to change it.

  17. Create a way for a written note to become an Asana task. This feature would improve our efficiency greatly.

  18. It would be amazing if text colour and size can be changed through keyboard shortcuts, and more advanced text features like Markdown can be brought in here. (Please learn from google docs and notion - thanks!)

  19. I love the flashcard feature in Good Notes! But, I have an idea for how to make it more user-friendly. What if you could put 'tags' on certain cards? For example, in my bio flashcards, I would love to tag which chapters the card is from (e.g., "Ch. 1", "Ch. 2", "Ch. 3"). Then when I launch the flashcard feature, I can select which tags I would like to review. If I feel comfortable with the content from chapter 1, I would leave those cards out. You could also tag cards by their level of difficulty, kind of question (true/false,…

  20. On the right side of the toolbar, there are three options: automatic disappearance of the laser trails, and the manual remove all/erase laser trails option.

    Explanation (optional to read): I’ve been using laser trails almost every time when I review because I can write on top of my written notes and annotated handouts to help me remember, but what’s frustrating about it is that it disappears so fast when I try to write multiple words of what I have just reviewed seconds before. I can’t use the regular pen and write above these papers of mine since they are annotated/written…
