  1. I was trying out ZoomNotes after discovering adding to a note on my phone is kind of terrible in GoodNotes, and they had a handy shortcut that would help a lot in GoodNotes: When placing a text box, double tapping prompted whether I wanted the box to fill the page. I agreed and just that easy I can add properly (horizontally) aligned text to the note. GoodNotes could add a similar feature pretty easily and it would make the iPhone and Mac apps more useful for adding to notes.

  3. will be widely used for mathematical equations

    the left side will be what I write, the write side will be what it will transform into. this can be also used for irregular shape or time consuming shapes to draw but is used often.

  4. I want to create a new Quick Note and then when finished move it (all pages) to a Notebook. At present I can tap the File name and it only allows me to move to a Folder. The only viable option is to use the page picker, select all pages and then I can move to a Notebook - lots of taps

  5. I'm coming from Samsung Notes that had a tool called the "Change Style" tool. I would click on this tool and select the new style (pen thickness, color, etc) that I want to apply. Then I would slide the tool across the stroke that I wish to change. I absolutely loved the feature and I think it would be really nice to have.

    Consider the use case where I wish to change the color of a few words in my handwritten sentence. Right now I have to click on the lasso tool, draw a circle around the words, tap on…

  6. 1) Ich fände es so genial, wenn man einen hinzugefügten Kommentar in einem PDF auch markieren kann, wie man sonst ein Wort oder einen Satz in einem Text markieren kann.

    2) wenn man einen Link als Kommentar hinzufügt, dann lässt sich der Link leider nicht so schnell anklicken. Man müsste das also so umgehen, dadurch dass man auf Kommentar-Bearbeiten anklickt und dann auf den Link klickt, um den zu kopieren und schließlich ihn in einem Browser zu öffnen. Es ist also ganz schön zeitaufwendig.

  8. There are times we need to move all of our notes from one page to another. There should be a keystroke (such as Cmd-A... Mac) to Select All data entered on a page so it can be quickly copied/pasted.

  11. There should be a section goodnotes that is accessible only after entering an access code similar to locked notes on iOS. This will allow users to save sensitive notes in a separate section.

  12. please add a feature to place the toolbar vertically on the Left/Right side of the screen. It's really useful as you don't have to move your hand way up or down to change tools or colours as well it allows larger space for writing.
    Similar features are available in notability and apple notebook 👇👇

  15. Would love to be able to add a few blank pages so that while taking note we can just continue writing instead of having to pull vertical/horizontal to create a new page. Sometimes I have to sit before class and create the number of pages I estimate I’ll need in order to have the space.

  16. When scrolling within a PDF and then making annotations it’s convenient to change from single finger panning (on/off) to enhance scrolling and palm rejection. If single finger panning is on while making annotations, the page moves. But if it’s kept off, when it’s time to scroll, it’s a bit difficult when scrolling multiple pages with two fingers. An easily accessible toggle would be ideal.

  18. Eraser should be able to erase text as well. When I want to erase a text I have to lasso and click delete or I have to edit the text. It would be nice to use the eraser to erase some parts of the text you want without having to delete or edit the whole thing

  19. Please make it simpler to add/create notebooks; I am constantly struggling with finding the correct paper size/cover size. I wish it would just tell me what each page is set to (size-wise) so I can figure out which cover/paper to choose. Every time I set up a new one with specific configurations it makes a cover way smaller than the paper to write on on the next page or vice versa.

  20. It would be practical to be able to select which files you would like to upload to iCloud, as, if you don‘t have enough storage for every single file, you can‘t even share a single file with anyone, which is quite annoying.
