  1. I feel that sometimes your pen slips or when you draw or make diagrams for studying there are very rigid lines which mess up the drawing…having an option to smooth out your lines would really healp

  3. It would be fantastic if there could be an hour/minute/second timer built into goodnotes. My purpose is for taking notes on movies and tv episodes since I work in post production, but I could see this being useful for taking notes during video lectures etc to be able to reference back to a certain timecode easily, or have a time of day stamped to notes. How I could see it implemented is pressing a tool in the toolbar, followed by pressing on the paper, dropping the timecode onto that spot. Maybe long pressing the tool could allow you to reset…

  7. Three dots on top of the screen for split view prevent the user from pressing the down ( v ) arrow on the right of the document name when the name is short. Please move the arrow or resize the touchbox for the arrow.

  9. Allow the screen when using GoodNotes on iPad to be shared with the Mac App version so you can see what you're doing in real-time on the Mac App. I currently use another writing program that does this, which is amazing. I can jump on Zoom and work on documents and teach. Likewise, I can join my tutoring sessions, and my teachers can see the work I'm doing and annotate on screen, etc. I also give presentations and live training, so having the illustrations up on the projector in from of the class is great.

    The AirPlay feature is not…

  12. Please increase max. Pen thickness to 5mm or 10mm. Right now it is only 2mm, which makes blackening (redacting) text very cumbersome and looks messy.

  13. Please make some updates in the app. I as a medical student need to draw a lot of diagrams in my notes, especially with curves. Whenever I try to make any curved diagram it's automatically turned into edgy one. So please consider this improvement.

  14. Cryptomator allows users to sync data on whatever cloud service they want. It is end-to-end encrypted.

    iCloud, One Drive, Dropbox, etc. are not secure. These tech companies can decrypt user data at will.

    This is why Good Notes needs to support users being able to sync to different locations within settings, so that users can point their sync to a Cryptomator vault to protect their data.

  17. I hope that you can added two useful functions to the app.

    The first one is that let the user modify the code of book, that is, let the user customize the first page of books. The users can not go to according page that the content tell us because the page number in the app is a sum equals the later page number add the content,including the cover. That's really make me crazy.

    The second one is that Increase the level of the outline. We can add the page to the outline, but we can not set the lever…

  18. If I use a highlighter and then lasso the highlighter then chose “color” from the context menu it shows my colors for the drawing tool. It should show me colors associated with the highlighter tool.

  19. So many times I lasso something and have accidentally included a few pixels of something that I don’t want to move. It would be nice to edit the boundaries of the lasso by adding/subtracting from it.

  20. It would be nice to place elements in your "zoomed in handwritingbox". I use Elements for little arrows and other links, but when i write in the handwritingbox mode it closes when i want to add an element to it. It's only a small thing but very annoying.
