    • It should be possible to fetch the desired color from the page, for example from an image.
    • Change the name of the audios, and have something that would appear if that specific page had an audio. | It was good to have an option where what we wrote during the audio didn't stay on the page, or that for example we could record the red pointer together with the audio.
    • The option to adjust the position of an object and "send to the back" or "bring to the front", also divert is possible.

  1. We are an engineering office and work very intensively with GoodNotes to document construction sites. For this we insert many images into prepared documentation templates. In order to ensure a uniform layout, the images currently have to be inserted manually into the placeholders. Here we would like to have a scaling function (proportional and unproportional) in which the dimensions of the image can be specified numerically.

  2. It is hard to edit the title when the notebook is opened because of the Split View window. It always prioritizes the Split View option menu, which makes it quite frustrating when trying to edit the title. Either make the title offset to the side or have a button that enables editing so it is not so close to the Split View button.

  3. One thing that would be great is a way that the page can be locked into place when zoomed in and using vertical scroll.

    When I take notes, I use an A4 page and double click to zoom it in and write. But one thing that annoys me so much is sometimes my hand or arm will touch the page and then the page will be shifted to the left or right.

    I propose a small lock button that allows you to lock a page in place, from moving left or right, but still keeps the vertical scroll.

  4. Wanna divide {ONLY Straight Line} button from {Square,Triangle,Circle} button because whenever I write / before conjunction or kinda adverb, it always becomes curve.

    Also, that suggested {ONLY Straight Line} button needs to include Highlighter, too. Because that Highlighter's straight option does not works well and it highlights as curve. But my book in PDF does not curved.

    I want to study in a effective way with fast writing straight lines instead of drawing fine art curve. But currently, Goonotes5 on iPad enforce me art on my textbook PDF.

    So JUST make {ONLY Straight Line} button including pen and highlighter.

  5. Now the goodnotes on windows beta can only create notes files but can not open the notes files created by ios or share the files to other equipments. Naturally, I know that now the beta version can not sync with iphone or mac, however, the functions I mentioned beyond is also very important.

  6. Be able to type directly into the document without having to use a text box. Like a word document for example. But still be able to write or annotate if wanted.

  7. I have a use case where it’d be useful to be able to link the scrolling of Goodnotes on two devices.

    I’d like it to be bi directional so which ever device you scroll on the other would follow.

    And conversely it’d be great to easily temporarily break the link and then link back up.

    One could extend the benefits of this by having one device viewing the outlines and jumping around and the second device hopping to key parts.

    Many thanks

  8. I used to write with a fountain pen all the time but switched to iPad because I had so many notebooks it was getting a bit ridiculous trying to go back through my notes. One thing I miss so much is the way ink looks on a page, particularly inks with hi sheen and shading. Colours vary in intensity at different points on the page, some completely change depending on the amount of ink laid down and it really makes writing enjoyable and makes revising notes oddly satisfying. Please add some form of this to GoodNotes as an option when…

  11. I love the tool and have a few of them.
    In order to structure my content I would like to be able to move my notebooks around in my folder.

    I have noted some storting to take place but,

    Tag a set of favourites and show them on top in my folder or a dedicated folder would be good
    - sort by drag would be advanced
    - sort by keywords

    I would also like to be able to merge notebooks in a way that I can drag my source on target and via control question be able to move (merge)…

  13. I really like to do my devotionals on here and would really like to be able to have some Christian clipart options to choose from to help decorate. I would also like to have like additional writing utensils I feel like they are very broad as to your choices.

  16. The size settings of pen tool and shape tool should be kept independent of each other. Suppose I want pen tool with a setting of 0.3 and shape tool with some different setting everytime I need to change the setting

  18. A highlighter or a tool that transforms text into bold text (just in PDF or similar, not in raster images), to stand out without background color

  19. Hello,
    when I view or edit my PDFs which are not vertical (e.g. A4 format), GoodNotes does not allow me to zoom out more. This would be necessary sometimes to have a better overview of your PDFs. Instead, one has to use the little page viewer, which is kind of a struggle. Why does GoodNotes not allow more zooming out?
    Best regards,
    Carlo
