  1. It is an important function because sometimes we need to enter some words in the docx. so that we can easy to mark our notes. Also, I think if the window version can connect with the ios version is more convenient for the user.

  2. Swiping pages is not good for me because my eyes do not feel well when the animation is playing. Therefore, a button for the next and previous pages would be a better way to navigate instead of swiping the iPad.

  4. Hi, I love to write handwriting on slides, but sometimes the space isn‘t enough. That‘s why I love the comment feature, but I would love if the comments were possible to be handwritten as well. Right now it‘s only possible to add keyboard-written text, please add an option to fill the comment-space with handwriting! Sometimes its also nice to add little pictures/graphs that you draw in the comment space.
    Thanks :)

  5. My idea is to enable modeling on a toolbar.
    I noticed about myself and my friends that we don't use a picture sticker in a text box at all. And colors are used a lot.

    Allow the color segregation to be increased at the expense of the space of the images and stickers. And an option to arrange the toolbar in a way that's convenient for me.

  6. I would love a notebook that focuses on the mechanics of typing first, and is then supported with handwriting. An example would be a typed manuscript that can be marked up with handwritten edits which alter the text.

    I want to write a few paragraphs, and then use a pen to Scribble out (delete), circle and draw an arrow/drag (rearrange), highlight/underline, or add text. It would be as though my red pen was magic and made arrow keys (or even VIM gestures) feel slow

    This notebook template closely replicates the writing experience of iA writer ( A centered text column,…

  7. It would be great to be able to import webpages as pdfs into GoodNotes as one continuous page (like the pageless mode in google doc).
    The imports now will have page breaks which split some characters (top-bottom), which could be difficult to read at times.

  9. Goodnotes has available in its pop-up store: "Hexagonal Grid: Draft Papers" which features a hexagonal grid. However, because line snapping only works at 45° angles, there is no useful line snapping for this grid, which makes is somewhat useless as a template. It would be great (and I imagine very easy to implement) if there was a toggle in settings to access 30° line snapping.

  11. I often am highlighting a PDF and writing down some notes on a separate document. I would like that if I am using the highlighter in one document and then switch to another the highlighter tool does not follow me to that document if I was previously using the pen on that document.

    I think this was the default in Goodnotes 4, it would be great to have it back

    Thank you!

  14. When opening the file-browser, one can only get back to the document writing view by opening a new document.
    Very inconvenient.
    Implement a "close button" for file browser an GN jumps bach to the document one was working on

  15. Allow users to login on the website for desktop users to easily sync by logging in and being able to edit from anywhere. Kind of like what Microsoft did.

    1. default paper color
      At the moment we can choose one of two: white or strong yellow.
      In my opinion, the yellow one is too strong - of course, this is just my opinion, but adding the possibility to choose a paper with a slightly less yellow color would be something great.
      I think the way to have a cool yellow color is in Notability. There yellow seems to be nicer - better perceived by the eye.

    2. color of the application bar.
      Right now we have something like light navy blue - it's a bit sad and a very office color.…

  17. When I "add page" to a notebook, and then "scan documents", the document is scanned and the margins are good (right on the page edges). But, when that document is imported into a notebook, margins are added and cannot be cropped.
