  4. I use GoodNotes screenshot-feature on a daily basis to create drawings for my exercises & summaries for uni and it would be very useful if I could export into SVG -> better quality while maintaining a small footprint.

    This should illustrate my idea:

  5. When you are creating a new document in goodnotes 5, all pages have the same size /relation, but if you import a new page there´s no option to adapting its size or relation to the other pages of the document and seems out of place. It would be ideal to be able to just have some options of this type.

  7. Every time I open GN in my MacBook, the app window is small. We should be able to open it in full size each time without having to adjust the size after each opening.

  8. Would be great, if you can create a bookmark, which you can write on and slide in like a real book mark in a journal.

    Check Video 12 on the following page.

  10. Just like it's possible to scroll all the way up/down by tapping once at the top/bottom of the screen, it'd be handy to have the ability to do the same thing on any notebook.

  11. PLEASEEEEEEEE make the 'Two finger tap, Three finger tap' undo/redo an option for users, I am constantly undoing/redoing things on accident just by writing. It is SO FRUSTRATING because I have been using the actual 'undo' button in the toolbar for years and am so used to reaching for it. all of the recent updates are GREAT, except that you don't have the option to 'opt-out' for certain changes.

  12. You need to deeply think through the workflow around signing complex documents. Apple Mail now handles simple signatures directly within the email app. But this doesn't always work.

    The workflow with Goodnotes (and all other apps, mostly because of sandboxing of common document types like PDF, which should not be sandboxed because they do no harm--but no one on the planet will convince Apple because Jobs didn't like file systems and no one at Apple can contest the memories of the infallible Jobs). Phew.

    There are several problems specific to Goodnotes for this obvious and common business scenario:
    1. Goodnotes…

    Thanks for sharing your detailed feedback about the email workflows. In fact, we are thinking about this and have implemented a feature that should shorten these steps for you already and let you automate parts of it to a certain extent. We call it “Email to GoodNotes”. It allows you to automatically import PDF attachments to emails that are sent to a unique GoodNotes email address.
    You can read more about it here: https://support.goodnotes.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000477276-Using-Email-to-GoodNotes-for-importing-PDF-files

    By using services like Zapier or IFTTT, you can also automatically forward email to this address, so that PDF attachments will always show up in your GoodNotes “inbox” when your defined criteria are met (for example from a specific sender).

    Of course, this doesn’t yet help for the step of the workflow where you have to send the file back.

  13. Hallo, mir würde ein Feature welches den geschriebenen Text ausspricht sehr gefallen (wie beim Google Übersetzer). Dadurch könnte ich mein Lernen sehr viel verbessern in dem ich es vorgelesen bekomme.

    Wäre es möglich dieses Feature in Zukunft einzubauen?

  14. Just by a slight movement, the line won’t be straight when I highlight some words in a text. Please make it possible to add a feature where we can select just do have completely straight highlighting lines or freestyle highlighting.

  15. The option inside the eraser itself is good, although it could be better if the eraser does not delete many pixel when it touch one pixel of pen.

  16. As medical students, we get a lot of different files to annotate and study. Goodnotes is an awesome app and without it, I couldn't stay organized.

    However, I have noticed two big flaws, and fixing them would greatly grow user satisfaction.

    1st:
    It would be good to get an option for Goodnotes to Mac's share button like in iPadOS. It would be a quicker way to add content to Good note without dragging and importing separate documents.

    2nd:
    It would be awesome to be able to import .pdf files as well as Powerpoint and .docx files to document with and…

  17. when i mark a flashcard as unknown it automatically re-shows it to me, which isn't very helpful considering i just saw it. it would be more beneficial if it was like quizlet and showed the unknown cards a few cards afterwards so that there's time to "forget it" and recall it again.

  18. Sometimes when I read and take notes on lecture PowerPoint pdf on GoodNotes, I feel like the pages display are too big (I used an iPad Pro) esp when the content on the slides is not very compact. So I wonder if it’s possible to set how the pdf to be displayed, like for horizontal it can be set to 2x2, 3x2. Or for vertical, it can be set to 2x4, 2x6, or even 3x4 etc instead? To be able to view more pages at a glimpse like the outlines and also able to actually read the content would be…

  20. 是否可以在工具栏加上一个锁定当前页面不可编辑的功能?因为页面长期处于可编辑状态很多时候在复习阅读笔记的时候会不小心触碰到里面的内容,有时还会误删一些东西或者不小心打乱了当前页面的排版。这样笔记还要从新编辑一下。如果有一个当前页面锁定功能就可以防止这些误操作。希望得到贵公司回复。谢谢。
