  2. I would love support for secondary monitor scrolling. As of now when I have my 4k secondary monitor in portrait or landscape mode the scrolling is very choppy that makes it near impossible to use. If I have my sidebar up it seems to run a little smoother but not well enough for practical use so as of now I always keep my sidebar up and choose the page rather than scrolling.

    Good notes is great notes!

  3. At the moment if you want to add an element in the library if the object in question was not created by hand, you need first to make a screeshot and then add the element. This can be relatively time consuming if you want to bulk create them, since making a screeshoot is a three step process (take screenshot -> Select export -> copy )

    An alternative would be to either or both:
    * add an element directly as an image by selecting a portion of the document
    * or by adding an instant snapshot feature to copy the area…

  6. When I play the piano, I need to see as much as I can. On my 12.9 iPad, I therefore would be happy to see 2 sheets at once and when I scroll, I'll see the next 2 sheets. Can this be done?

  8. Not a big fan of the very rounded shape. What about something more square or elliptical for pen options?

    It would make lines look more crisp!

  9. When testing on flash cards students can enter a time (e.g. 10 minutes) and the app will prioritise the most appropriate cards. This would allow students to use when they have a quick 10 mins in between lessons and know they are using the spacing effect well.

  12. Some books with many pages (around 1000) are not being auto-backed up to my GDrive. It would be good if you can fix this issue.

  14. It’d be very helpful if new pages could be added at arbitrary locations. In fact, I find it unusual that this option is not already available

    Thank you for your work

  15. This feature should look in all notebooks when new pages were created, and then at the end of a day create a notebook which has all the content of that day. So you have a summary of the complete day, and do not always have to look through all the notebooks.

  16. I have a number of custom templates. Most of them are not any of the existing page sizes (not A4, letter, Goodnotes standard, etc.) Could we have a "Custom" template category, or better the ability to create our own template categories?

  18. When in split-screen mode, with iBooks on the left half and goodnotes5 on the right, when changing pen colour and thickness very often, the app will crash

    Is a consistent problem, please fix

  19. I would love to use GoodNotes on my MacBook Pro, but I can't update my system past Mohave, because that is the last version that still supports some older 32 bit apps that I still use. Would there be any chance of doing the testing needed to support MacOS 10.14.x (Mohave)? I absolutely love GoodNotes on my iPad and would to use it cross-platform. Wes

  20. Because I'm left handed, when I'm writing in the top corner, when I rest my hand it sometimes closes the current book that I'm on. If you could put the X on the right side of the tabs that would make my life easier.
