  1. Since the external display support has been published for the newer Ipad pro models, it would be great to have usage of it. For now it always opens the good notes file in full screen on your external monitor when you try to open it on your ipad to work on a note. Fixing that would be a great improvement for the workflow with external monitors.

  2. Hi! So it would be really nice if there was a sign in/log ing option. This way, every user could sign in a device and have all the documents there without the need of exporting the data. This doesn't mean to delete the sync option with other apps like Google Drive or OneNote, but it would be nice. For example, if you buy a new iPad, you wouldn't have to export de data from the GoodNotes app from your old iPad to the new one, you should only sign in in your new iPad and all your documents would be…

  3. Being able to upload a transparent png or a layered pdf and be able to grab a section of that image with the lasso to copy and paste while maintaining transparency. Currently you can just select the whole image and crop or drag in each item in individually which is unnecessarily painful.

  4. We PLEASE need a Widget! I don’t know any other important app that hasn’t got a widget for iOS.
    One where we can see our Books in a ‘library’, just one book at a time or a certain page of a book on our home screens. Please make this happen - it is really needed!!

  5. Have the option to zoom in the collections to verify the stickers instead of posting each one to find the one that I'm looking. It would be great if can be in the Mac app and iPad app.

  7. Text Box for MacOS another fix.

    The mouse coursor on MacOS doesn't change when hovering over the dot to resize the text box. So you have no indication if you are resizing or not. it continues to show the insert text cursor.

  8. GoodNotes on MacOS needs changes to the Text box.

    It runs off the edge of the page. So if I am typing the words go right to the edge then the text will run to the next line. No margin at all. This means when I start to type in a text box and type more than one line, I then need to move the text box to the left so I can then resize it to move it back to the right. This is pretty inconvenient. Should be a way to leave a margin on the page.

  9. Vietnamese are using IPad more often to aid their studies and work demand. The handwriting-to-text is very important and helpful to our work, so please add Vietnamese to your languages.

  12. Detatch the color palette for markers and pens so you can change colors quickly and move wherever you want. The palette could be moved freely and displayed vertically or horizontally. The background could be translucent but the colors in the palette could be shown correctly (rn Night mode shows highlighters colors in a weird way)

  15. When I stay in text styling and want to select text this is not possible, I have to move to the image module or turn off the writing function to be able to select text. After pasting, it automatically redirects to text styling ...... which makes me very angry and speechless. Please restore the previous functionality, the experience after the update is extremely poor and has affected my studies, please fix this bug as soon as possible!

  16. As a web developer student, I would highly find it useful if goodnotes can format code to make it easier to read when code is typed or pasted.
    A functionality that works similar to google docs extension add on, named "Code Block" would be awesome!

  17. I have a suggestion, and I hope that the function to change the font size and thickness of the pen can be added when selecting the written part as a snare when writing with a pencil. There is something called resizing on the menu, but if the size of the writing pen is 0.7mm, not what I want, I would like to change the writing part to 0.5mm or 0.3mm. Sizing is really adjusting the size.I just want to change the thickness of the pen here while maintaining the size. There is a hassle of rewriting the written part, so…

  20. Create better accessibility for low vision users. It would be nice to have the ability to increase the boldness of the lines on pages or the ability to increase the size of the tools menu. Currently I have to use the zoom feature to help choose the correct tool. We are not all created equal in the low vision community so it would be nice to have options. This doesn’t seem like it should require votes or likes. Thank you.
