  3. Please allow custom colour palettes for text. AND the ability to have mixed colours in a single text block. At the moment if you change the colour of part of a text block, the UI changes the WHOLE block.

  5. This has been described in a few different posts and the moderators have not given satisfactory responses. We would like the ability to zoom out so we can see multiple pages within a single document.

  6. It would be nice to finally get rid of blue menu bar while editing..
    Maybe you could instead ADD a floating QUICK MENU bar, for most important menu choices.. ( Like pen/ereaser/lasso ,colour, text) Or less even..
    OR: Implement a radial QUICK MENU..You could make it accessible via gesture, like let's say : click and hold pen together with ONE FINGER tap or soo..
    That would make it posible to write with NO distractions and optimal space

  7. I am using a black page on the black background.
    For a longer battery time, I usually set my screen less brightly, but it is difficult to distinguish the border of each page.
    So, my suggestion is to provide white edges as a border of every black page so that users can easily perceive when a page starts or ends.

  8. When I import some PDFs their outlines are imported too. I love this feature. I have noticed that when this happens, the outlines have sub-outlines to make navigating the outlines easier.

    However, I can not create this in my own GoodNotes outlines. It only works when I import a PDF that already has this structure built into it.

    I would like to have a feature in GoodNotes where I can create sub-outlines in my notebooks.

  9. I don’t know if this is just me, but I noticed that when using a sticker from my saves, it's size varies depending on the zoom percentage that I'm on currently. For example, when I'm on a document while zoomed out and use a sticker and readjust it's position after zooming in, it's size seems to get different. This is really unsatisfying, because I use the stickers option for bullet points, as there isn’t an option yet to do that separately.

  11. I would love to have the possibility to hide or resize sticky notes very small when tapping on them. On á second tap the sticky notes then could get big again.

  13. When using a digital planner one is often switching between writing and navigating. Each switch requires one tap the button in the upper left.
    I am right handed, it would be nice if there was an area on the screen that I could hold with my left hand that would activate the link following options so I could navigate the planner and then when I lift my finger I can write again. For a lefty this would/could be on the right side of the screen.

    For example, it is the weekend, I am reviewing previous week(s) and planning the upcoming…

  14. Please add the ability to make a folder a favourite after searching for it. Currently this only works with notes.
    I have hundreds of folders, and to make one a favourite I have to scroll through the entire list and then push on the star icon.
    It would make life much easier.
    Thank you for a great app!

  15. I do a lot of practice problems and it is a little annoying to force scroll up to add a new page while other apps automatically add up a new page as I'm approaching the end of my current page.
    So I would love if there was an option to eliminate the gap between pages so that it looks like an infinite and unbroken canvas while pages are being added automatically as soon as the app senses that I'm approaching the end of my current page.

  16. There should be a feature to erase the imported pdfs in a way that will clean the places we do not want. Erase with a pen, but it can also erase embedded information in a pdf. Like Adobe Scan cleaner feature.

  17. The ability to toggle on and off dark mode and have the paper and ink colors change accordingly.

    Selecting dark paper and white ink looks great but is NOT 'dark mode'. When you go to print something created way you either waste a LOT of ink or you have to manually switch paper and ink color on each page.

    For reference - Onenote does dark mode perfectly.

  18. I use GoodNotes for my studies and often have to summarize texts / papers or analyze them with regards to specific topics. What would be really helpful there if you can mark and associate specific parts of the text (e.g., some words, a sentence, etc.) with a chosen term ("tag" / "code") and have a view where you can filter for all of the passages marked with that tag. Researchers use that similarly for qualitative data analysis with dedicated programs (see for example: https://atlasti.com/2017/03/16/make-best-codes-atlas-ti/). However, an app combining convenient hand-written notes and coding seems not to be on the…

  19. I am contacting you due to an error in the application. since several updates when you write a text and resize it, the text box is crooked and the text is not in a straight line. if you want to enlarge the text by enlarging the font size, it happens that it stays outside the text box and does not scroll correctly
