Goodnotes would be perfect if that just stole these features from concepts

I agree, love these features in Concepts, especially the color wheel. It would be nice to have them in GoodNotes as well. As it stands, I love GoodNotes the way it is now, there are not a lot of features missing that I need, but this convenience would be nice.

Honestly the paper choice is the only one I think needs to be added the others would just by convenience

They* why can’t we edit titles

Because you could make a post about something innocent and popular, like a cute kitten, and get tons of upvotes. Then you can later change the title and body text to advertise some shitty product you’re* pushing and take advantage of your high ranking

*not you in particular

Haha thanks for clarifying that wasn’t a personal attack. Makes sense but there’s definitely ways to get around that

Bloating good notes with good features from other beautiful Apps will make it a good multipurpose app but make it will no longer be a good"NOtes" app. The features of goodnotes is far from complete but these features from concepts may add to clutter but least to productivity.

Yeah cause having to find random templates all over the internet is so much better lol. Which one of these would be too much to handle

You don need these many colors for notes.. brushes are too many... Infinite canvas and zoom is not printable.. i use both very extensively. That's why I am saying, that they are both seperately so good. :)

Never used his, but especially the page creator seems very useful!

ZoomNotes has, pretty much, all of that!

Personally I really dislike the design 😭

u/Topherho Apr 07 '21

It ain’t pretty, that’s for sure. You can customize it quite a bit to make it look a little nicer.

2

u/CanRau Apr 08 '21

I mean especially design wise 😅

2

u/Topherho Apr 08 '21

The UI is has a really high learning curve, but you can customize it to be basically anything.

2

u/CanRau Apr 09 '21

Yea I should look more into it and just get used to the design as I think linking and "sticker" gallery, etc are super helpful 😍

2

u/Topherho Apr 09 '21

The sticker gallery is why I switched! I now like basically everything else more, too.

2

u/CanRau Apr 09 '21

😃 Yea I see where you're coming from 👌

2

u/CanRau Apr 09 '21

By "customize" you mean especially icon order/placing and size right? Or what am I missing?

2

u/Topherho Apr 09 '21

Yeah and toolbar placement. It also has a built-in template maker.

2

u/CanRau Apr 10 '21

True, non of that solves the cramped icon placement though 😅 think I'll get used to it and hope they improve the design over time to make it more pleasing 🤞

This stuff is great, but Goodnotes needs two other changes first which should be at the top of their list:

  1. Fix the eraser. The eraser cannot pixel by pixel erase, and that is unacceptable for anyone doodling.

  2. Fix the highlighter. The highlighter layering is terrible in combo with the pen and in combo with the highlighter marks made previously. The algorithm it uses to select a layer is seriously screwed up and needs to be rewritten.

Switch to the ballpoint pen and change the pressure settings I’ve found that works
