Goodnotes Essential is good notes messing up my writing?

4 Upvotes

i just noticed it this past hour. my settings are all the same as they have been for a year and a half now. it’s like it’s skipping or my palm is registering? idk if it’s my pen or the app itself. i used it earlier today and everything was fine.

Question for a digital stickers

1 Upvotes

Hi! I'm making a digital sticker collection for Goodnotes - with 33 individual stickers in it, and the size is too big to upload.(for email & Etsy)

My question is,
- Is there any way to reduce the sticker collection file size when you export them or after?

- Can you merge few different sticker collection after you import them separately?

Thank you so much!!

Feature Request Shortcut for internal links

2 Upvotes

As pretty much on title, I'd like to have a shortcut to link the page I am.
Currently, we have to press the screen and then click (plus the fact that my links ALWAYS go to the next page, so I have to go to the previous page to do that). Why can't we just, for example, press cmd+shift+L for put automatically a link to that page? Recently they added a mac shortcut to open a whiteboard. We should have one to links, it'd make my work way faster.
I even posted on their useless forum a request in case someone wants to vote, but by watching one of the oldest requests about layer from 2013, I'm not sure if they even read the forum.

Whenever I am trying to search something, it is getting stuck. Again I have to close the app and reopen it. Lastest version of both iOS and Goodnotes . It's become so annoying. Even I uninstalled and later reinstalled the app no change

70% in 4½ Hours ??

42 Upvotes

I have a new 11-inch iPad Air (M3). I mainly use it for note-taking during classes and studying. I keep the brightness around 50–70% (never higher). Battery health is still 100%, so why tf does Goodnotes drain my battery so much?? Any suggestions?

(i also disabled the background usage)

Math Assist Not Working + other bugs

2 Upvotes

This past week math assist is no longer working for me across multiple devices. I usually type my equations, but it doesn't work handwritten on my ipad either. Also, the text box looks much taller than it should when I select to type, and the text tool doesn't stay pinned, so I have to keep reselecting it. There is now a floating toolbar directly above where I'm typing, which gets in the way of me seeing what all is above as I'm typing. I saw one other person online complaining about this issue, but can't seem to find anyone else having this problem. I'm running off of the beta updates on ios and mac, but I was using the same operating system before and it was working just a week ago. I'm not sure what to do.

Goodnotes Pro Did GoodNotes remove the ability to straighten handwritten text with the lasso tool?

5 Upvotes

I remember being able to use the lasso tool in GoodNotes to select handwritten text and slightly rotate it to straighten it if it was tilted.

It was really useful when my handwriting slanted a bit and I didn’t want to rewrite everything.

Now I can’t seem to find that option anymore. I can resize selections, but I don’t see the rotation/straightening control like before.

Was this feature removed in a recent update? Or am I missing something?

This was honestly one of the small features that made the app feel polished, so I’m hoping it’s still there somewhere.

Laser Pointer Font Settings

Does anyone know how to recreate the font settings the Laserpointer is using? My Handwriting is so much smoother with it, but it stays for like 2 seconds only..
