  1. First of all, I would like to express my gratitude for the incredible work you have done so far in providing an excellent note-taking experience with your Goodnotes app. I have been a loyal user for several years, and I appreciate the constant updates and improvements that you make to the app.

    I am writing to you today to request a new feature that I believe would enhance the overall user experience. As someone who frequently uses the Goodnotes app for taking notes, I find that the toolbar on the side of the screen can sometimes take up valuable screen…

  7. Dashed lines and curves would be great. I often find myself needing to draw a dashed line in graphs, or in hidden sides of 3d shapes. It’s a must in a note taking app. The implementation of this feature shouldn’t be a challenge for any programmer, especially as it’s already exists in Goodnotes 5 code. For example, the dashed curved in the Lasso tool, or the way Goodnotes 5 draws shapes. If you use Standard Eraser to erase alternating sub curves, you are left with a dashed curve, except now it’s not functioning as a curve and you can’t edit…

  8. We move files between users and folders. Each time a user opens a GoodNotes file and exports it with his her changes, a date stamp is added to the file name. This feature forces our team to manually rename the file to its original file name, I.e. remove the date stamp.

  9. On a daily basis I (and tons of other students) find it extremely useful to take photos of the board the professor writes on and insert said image into my handwritten notes.

    The document scan feature is perfect for this, as it straightens and adjusts the image and makes it more legible.

    Unfortunately every time you use it the scanned image is imported on a new page. An option to insert the scan as a resizable image instead would be perfect. Thanks!

  10. Easy way to replace pencil color palates between dark colors (dark colors to write on white/light pages and bright colors to write on black/dark pages)

    Replacing all colors while switching documents and pages can be annoying.

  11. I'm using the letters of the presentation well when I study them or as a scribe, but I want to adjust the size of the letters and the time when the letters disappear.

  12. Inspired by notability, it would be very nice to be able to drag in a notebook or scratch pad WITHIN a document/slideshow/pdf to be able to take notes alongside the presentation. This way one wouldn't be stuck with writing on the slides or adding slides in between.

    This way, the notebook page and the document are one entity, always together and notes always align with the part of the presentation you're taking notes on.

  13. This would be so helpful, if we could get like a link to our study sets and be able to do them on the computer. Smart learn syncing with the app would be great also, but it might not be possible as its a public link

  18. Study set is a good idea for study. However, once a study set is made, I cannot add new entry to it.
    I hope I can add new entries into the existing study set soon.

  19. Please give us a fast way of adding notebook pages or purchased papers to our Template Libraries.

    I just bought a number of paper templates from the GoodNotes Store and it seems will now need to waste twenty minutes manually exporting PDFs of each individual page, and manually adding each page separately back in to my Template Library. It won’t import a multi-page pdf and split out the pages. It won’t import an exported GoodNotes notebook. It will only import templates from Files or Photos. It would be nice to just tell it to add page X from notebook Y…

  20. Is it just me?
    - You look at a part of your page
    - select the writing box
    - and it jumps to a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT part on the page

    So you then have to zoom out, orientate yourself, and then zoom back in to where you were originally trying to write.

    Clearly a programme glitch. Please look at this quick-win Mr/Mrs Engineer.

    A completely brilliant indispensable programme, so well thought through, I rave about it to everyone......apart from this INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING jumping.

    Please please please fix (please please).
