  1. if I draw a shape, and i want to make another one exactly the same, i have to lasso it and copy it and then paste it. There should be a "DUPLICATE" button that appears when you lasso something and it will automatically copy and paste.

  2. When formatting text for example by using underline, bold, cursive, the whole text is being formatted with the last effect being used in the text when changing font size. Please change it so that when changing the text size already formatted words are being saved and not applied to the whole text box.

  4. Goodnotes Dokumente ineinander verlinken, sprich wenn ich im Dokument „siehe Kapitel xy“ schreibe, würde ich gerne dieses Kapitel aus einem anderen Dokument verknüpfen um somit mit einem Klick dorthin zu gelangen.

  5. As a Student, I use GoodNotes every day. So it‘s normal for me, that I have to use the double window mode. But this is a little bit problematic, if the two windows are the same document. It happens very often, that I have to copy some things from one to the other window, and like this that makes things complicated. You have to do so many things, just to copy something.
    If there would be the opportunity to have two sides, next to next, in one window (provided that it’s the same document), i would be way easier to…

  6. Among the basic apps, if you look at Books, there is a scroll that allows you to move quickly along with a horizontal preview.

    However, in good notes5, vertical scrolling is required, but you can move by pressing the scroll button.

    In horizontal scrolling mode, you can only move one page at a time.

    If this is improved when writing in landscape mode, not only vertical scroll users but also horizontal scroll users will be very satisfied.

    Thank you.

    From right to left → Select if you touch even a part.

  10. Sometimes reviewing physics equations and organic chemistry mechanisms can be tiresome.

    I have a suggestion, if possible, design a way for the laser to record your writing. Allow the laser pointer to record how you write your notes so when you replay it and you can watch exactly how you drew your mechanism or how you did your physics problem.

  11. A cross or small dot in the middle of (standard)shapes.

    It would be great to get an indicator for middlepoints of shapes - especially for circles.

  12. When inside a notebook, it would be great to be able to open another notebook/document in a new tab (not a new window), without having to hit the back button and go back to the main list of folders/notebooks/etc

  13. GoodNotes still does not have implemented this great feature that apple introduced with iOS 13. Everywhere I can press long on the scrollbar and just slide it wherever I want. So I can reach the last page of a long book pretty fast. In GoodNotes I still need to scroll page by page until I am at the last page. This is pretty annoying. Even Notability has this feature implemented.
    You can see three photos attached, one while using Goodnotes (no thick scrollbar), one while using Notability (thick scrollbar) and one while using Safari (thick scrollbar).

    Please implement this!

  17. We really need the ability to create hyperlinks in the document. There is a HUGE market for bullet journals but the methods available for making hyperlinked documents aren’t available to everyone (e.g. Indesign, Keynote, etc). You’re missing a huge trick here!
