  1. 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…

  4. 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.

  8. I have long documents to annotate, so it would be nice if I can easily customise an outline - I suggest:
    1. being able to create multiple layers and collapsable outline (pretty much self explanatory it is very important for users with long pdf. I NEED STRUCTURE!!)
    2. swipe left/right on the side to bring out a sideview outline panel (best if semi-transparent background and on the side instead of a new window in the centre so I can reference the outline big picture while still reading the page)
    3. being able to delete or edit the outline of imported…

  9. I mostly annotate pdfs, i use 3 highlighter colours in 2 sizes and 2 colours in pen. Now I have to every time change colour of highlighter and change pen, then again highlighter & colour. I have to touch screen twice or thrice to change it. I want to have an option to favourite 3-5 custom combinations, it would increase my speed & efficiency. And also an option to guickly access them would be great. Thank you.

  10. I use good notes while studying various reports and documents. When I import a pdf or other file I usually want a blank page following each page of the imported document so I have the option of marking up the pdf or taking free form notes. Inserting an option into the import workflow to “add a blank page after each imported page” would decrease the overhead of manually adding; a relatively minor productivity increase, but one that would scratch a small annoying itch.

    Thanks for considering!

  11. I like add a picture into the note and writing on the picture. But after updating, the picture always move by my hand! It is terrible! At least, this feature should be turned on or off at our discretion.

  12. It's a symptom that's been around for a long time, but it hasn't been fixed yet. Sometimes, there is a symptom that the stroke of a letter is marked as if it were cut out. Please revise it.

  13. A lot of resource books are cheaper in digital format and are a lot easier to manage on an iPad; vs pounds of books.

    Problem is these publishers all have different hosting sites and the note taking software is garbage at best.

    I want to write between the lines and treat it like a real book.

    I would pay more for the hood note features

    I would love good not to become start providing digital books that enable all the good note editing features.

    My automotive and engineer school is drooling over this software.

  14. I use outlines a lot, so it would be great if they were more easily accessed on the top left corner. Something like if we could create the option into a shortcut for either Thumbnail/Favorites/Outlines depending on what we need the most at the moment just like with the pen and eraser tool. Also would be great if the option didn't open a pop up and instead a side panel.

    A little nitpicky, but would be super helpful and eliminate my use of the documents app and allow me to entirely make the switch to goodnotes for all studying purposes…

  15. Hello guys,
    I've got a cool idea :). If you could implement a safe exam mode where the teacher can upload an exam and students can answer it on GoodNotes and if they leave the tab, the exam gets ended (just like exam.net). That would be excellent for teachers, schools, students which love their iPads and also helpful for the climate change.

  18. I'm a bit of a perfectionist with my handwriting, its an issue. But I would love custom pen settings similar to Procreate Brush Studio for smoother pen flow, especially since I have very jittery over-caffeinated hands haha. Specifically for ball point pen! See attachment for my example of what I consider "smooth" pen flow; note starting/ending pressure points. Examples of settings would include stroke properties, jitter, stabilization, pressure sensitivity, streamline, etc.

  19. I am really enjoying the Flashcard template.

    However, I like my notes to be as neat as possible. It would be great if templates for lined and squared paper Flashcards could be created for when writing out the Flashcards, but when studying them, the lines/grid lines are removed to look as though your hand written notes are all aligned and not wonky! :)

  20. Whenever I type and sometimes my hand rests on the ipad screen, the popup appears and it is really very frustrating. I have taken the one time subscription but still goodnote fails to provide the service.
