  2. Often the auto-sync across device is slow and bad and I am forced to use the computer only because what I just typed on the Mac Goodnotes don't appear on the iPad version until a long while later. Should give a manual synchronisation option (like anki).

  3. I love GoodNotes. But a feature I’d like to see is one wherein the background and ink colors change when toggling between dark and light modes. The iOS notes apps does this, but it’s just a terrible note taking app. Maybe the option to toggle between date and light mode, with accommodating background and ink color inversions, could be an option within the app. Thanks.

  10. The motion when switching to another file, change page, or other things is very annoyed. The motion improve the beautifullness of the app, but I use this app for work and study, I think the motion is useless, time consuming, and make the app slower.
    I prefer instant change to another page and reduce all the motion
    It would be best if you put it as a option under setting.

  11. The search function work perfectly only for the word that already exist within the file, not the text I have type.
    I usually take note by type the text within the file.
    When I try to search the word, it can detect the text, but not highlight the search item that I have type it.

  17. In Goodnotes you can only list documents by last date you changed the document, name etc., but you cannot list documents by the date you create this document.You cannot see the creation date and you cannot search for it, too. But for school and university this is so important to be organised. Because of this problem I stopped using my Ipad for university.

  18. Hey! I know the app allow us to choose new colours and add them to a big pallete, but instead of thtat, it would be even great if we could create more than one pallete for different documents. Like this...

  19. That option would be good for everyone since we would use it for lettering, to put other types of brushes… In the same tab where the pencil is located, where you can choose a brush, an option should appear: + add brush. + add brush should be found with pen styles. instead of being: fountain pen, ballpoint pen and brush pen. It would be: + add brush, fountain pen, ballpoint pen and brush pen. Final results would be photo.

  20. A huge disadvantage that I find in GoodNotes that while i use the "Ruled Narrow" page template while using my iPad keyboard, the text isn't always matched with the lines in the page template.

    The best things will be if the application will automatically determine the size of the text so the user who uses keyboard will be able to write exactly between the lines in the page template.

    Obviously, while writing text the app should also support the auto counting as it is in all the other applications.(wether Microsoft Word or Notability)

    With the current situation in the app,…
