    Suggestion: Make it possible to to crop the screenshot directly in the preview window.

  2. As a medical student I have to go through lots of lectures and content daily. I have been using onenote as it allows for a fast importing of powerpoints when you convert the slides into PNG file types so i can make notes around them. Im struggling with goodnotes as although you can very quickly import these slides you cant make notes around the slides and you cannot import the slides onto the page of the notebook eg 2x slides per page without doing screenshots which takes a very long time for a lecture with over 100 slides in it.…

  3. it’s a great function especially when you are running out Of space on ur page.
    I have a suggestion, here we are typing to add notes. Wouldn’t it be nice if we were just allowed to write on the black dialog box that opens up, straight with our apple pencils? As most of us will be using our Apple Pencil to take notes.

  4. Have an option for us to scan document using iPad camera and cropping the image before pasting on our notes, and image pasted could be in PDF or image format. This will tremendously help in note taking

  5. 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).

  7. I think many people want better use of theyre Keyboard. So it would actually be worth bringing a MacBook with you, and not only using GoodNotes for Handwriting.

  8. I'd love to be able to make the background of diagram images transparent within GoodNotes. I like how this is action performed using an app called MagicEraser, as demonstrated in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pyty9XGv494&feature=youtu.be&t=262

    This feature would be very useful, especially when using dark paper.

    I wish to skip the step of using a different app just to make the background transparent. I constantly need to give my images a transparent background and I really want a faster way to do it. That's why I would love for GoodNotes to have features like those in the MagicEraser app.

    Thank you!

  12. 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.

  13. 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".

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

  17. 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…

  19. 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.

  20. 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.
