  1. Double-tapping the erasure tool brings up some options. Add an objects switch to allow me to turn that off. This way I can hand-draw a quick chart and begin filling it with text. Now if I need to make changes I can simply turn off objects and not have to worry about erasing the cell borders.

  2. Hi ,
    I have switched to your app after about 10 years of using other apps. This app is great, has lots of fantastic features that make it superior to others and is very convenient to use. But it also lacks some features too.

    Voice recording and importing is crucial, especially now that Samsung has added it to its app.
    Also other multimedia formats are cool to be added , like short video clips, gifs and etc...
    Please update, others already have , Samsung has added voice, folders, importing PDFs and a lot of features that they didn’t have, they…

  3. If you open a note or a folder from your favorites when you close the note or folder it goes back to your favorites. Can you make it so it goes to the folder that the note or folder was in?

  8. Create hyperlinks from within GoodNotes. It would be nice to be able select some text and create a hyperlink that you could paste into, for example, a table of contents or index.

  11. I am using an XP-pen graphics tablet display on MacOS. The recognition of the stylus is frustrating. It sometimes takes a few strokes to have my input recognized, and other times it works great. Other applications (other than MS Onenote, which brought me to Goodnotes) seem to work fine with the tablet/stylus input.

  12. it would be extremely nice to have a setting so horizontal scrolling could be like the vertical one, where if i just need one swipe to pass multiple pages. i like the horizontal layout but find it very slow and frustrating to move between pages.

  13. It would be great to have a marker, that covers already written text and when you click on it (with the finger, not pen), it shows you what lies beneath!
    This would be very useful for documents where you need to memorise the answers but first want to think of the question without immediately seeing the written solution beneath.

  15. Having a ruler like in AppleNotes would be really helpful.

    Besides that, as a student with a lot of maths, something like GeoGebra in a simpler version would help too. Being able to enter a function term and get the function in a coordinate system would be of great help and an even greater addition to GoodNotes.

    Also, being able to select multiple pictures to insert would be helpful, as it would save time from having to select each and every single picture.

    In PowerPoint, the function of print as handnotes gives the user three pictures on the left hand…

  18. I would love the ability to go back to previous screen or page instead of having to scroll through after clicking a embedded link . For example I use a digital planner and while I’m looking at weekly view I might click Monday for example, thus taking me far away from my weekly page. I then have to swipe through or go up to my bookmarks to get back. A simple gesture or button that’s essentially backs up would be the greatest user friendly improvement .
