  1. There are two toolbars unnecessarily. Top toolbar for browsing slides, searching for specific words, undo button and the add page button. Bottom toolbar for writing tools. Top one only uses up the left and right side (with the title taking up a huge amount of space in the middle) and the bottom toolbar only uses the middle so they would merge perfectly if you just moved the title elsewhere, thus giving us the users more space to write/draw on.

  3. Hello:

    I would really appreciate it if you could allow the users to add a watermark or put a lock in pdfs, because I'm a teacher and i grade all my student's assignments on GooNotes.

    I can add a logo image or a draw and put it as a watermark but it' would save me a lot of time if i could edit the position and/or transparency of certain objects and images, because i have a ton of documents to grade.

    Thank you for your attention.

  6. Have the ability to annotate the original PDF file from the Files app (or Google Drive) and keep it in sync across different apps without having to import and essentially create a second version of the file in GoodNotes

  9. Erasing within a circles erases the circle itself. The tools should not do this and should be working like it does within other shapes.

  10. When I screenshot parts of a document and insert them at a different point, the ratio always changes and the screenshot is bigger/smaller than the original image/text passage I wanted to take a screenshot of.
    I have to resize the screenshots every time which takes time and both parts often don't end up being the exact same size.

  11. Because of me writing with my left hand, i have problems by writing at the edge of the paper when i zoom in a bit. A Mode where you can position your page a bit further to the right would be great !!

  12. I do not know why but every time I use a text box and type vs. using my apple pen to write. IT DELETES. All my notes are gone. It's very frustrating.

  14. After we got “Draw and Hold” mode for pencils to draw perfect shapes, putting an eraser with “Erase Entire Stroke” in the middle of the circle makes the circle be erased. This is quite uncomfortable when I have to edit inside the circle. I wish the circle would be erased only when the eraser touches the boundary.

  15. Boolean Operators for the search function for more specific results:
    Similar to how boolean operators work on search engines online and on library databases, Boolean operators could prove extremely useful when using the search feature on Goodnotes.
    A main feature of Goodnotes is the ability to search/index handwritten notes, so the combination of this ability and of Boolean operators could make Goodnotes an extremely powerful competitor to others such as Notability!

  16. It would be helpful if the size of the laser pointer could be adjusted. The current one is pretty small and sometimes hard to recognise.

  17. Currently, if you look up something, the term is being saved in the search history.

    As far as I know, there is no possibility to disable the search history or to delete either a single entry or all entries art once.

    I miss an option to delete entries or to limit the search history to e.g. three entries.

  18. The shape tool does not respond to the undo feature like it should. Resize via the shape tool will not revert to the last size if I hit the undo button. This is an easy fix that should be a thing already.

  19. Sometimes I remember the full word but sometimes I don't. I may only remember a segment of it. So, it would be helpful to have the option to find a word just by searching for a piece of it. For example, let's say I want to search for the word "perforated" but I only remember a portion of it, such as that it ends with "rated" or that the middle part is "for". I'd like to be able to find that word just by typing little parts of it if I don't quite remember the full word.

  20. Your app is great, but your latest update removed the big keyboard and forced users to type on a tiny keyboard the same size as our phones. Can you please make it an option to keep the big keyboard? I spend enough time as it is trying to henpeck sentences on my phone.
