  1. I think many people want better use of theyre Keyboard. So it would actually be worth bringing a MacBook with you, and not only using GoodNotes for Handwriting.

  4. As today we have only 03 colors & three pencils options to switch between. There’s space to at least the double of each in the toolbar.

  5. Right now, the eraser would get whatever is in the background of the handwriting, so if I have a brush stroke and it's beautiful, it's gone if I want to change the text that I had overlaid on top of it. Like with the lasso, the eraser should have more options so it doesn't erase things we want to keep

  6. Changing color of written or typed notes with lasso tool.
    For example if you color code your notes and accidentally write a paragraph in the wrong color, you can change the color of everything that is encircled in the lasso.

  7. Make a way for people to vote for the mod response as an appropriate solution.
    For example, the person requesting a calculator in app. The mod pointed out you can swipe and split the screen with a calculator, and that’s a brilliant idea I didn’t think of. I
    There’s no need for GoodNotes to develop and in app calculator, this would be a waste of the GoodNotes teams time and resources, and a waste of storage space on my iPad adding this feature to GoodNotes.
    I want to be able to vote and say the mods response is so great…

  9. I have a lot of pages in my notebook, and to go to some older page I have scroll all the way there. It would be nice to have (like a pdf) pages minutares and possibility to click on the minutare in order to go there.

  10. This has been brought up a bunch of times in the past couple of years and I don’t see any admin responses to any posts.. why not add a feature that lets you drag and drop text/ images to the next page within the same document?

  11. In the "More" (i.e. ...) section, we can see the current page number and it would be practical to have "Go To Page" just below. I also wish to suggest adding some space, perhaps a section title, and group together "Clear Page" and "Move Page to Trash". I very frequently use "Go To Page" and always have to be careful to be precise so I don't accidentally press "Clear Page".

  12. Having a small toolbar on the side that contains user’s favorite pens, highlighter, etc… will be able to add new colors to the favorite bar, and able to adjust the order of the pens on the favorite bar.

  13. When in read-only mode, the two finger double tap gesture to undo still works. I suggest that this undo gesture is disabled when not in edit mode.

  14. Would be nice to have an "insert line" option/feature like in Apple notes. It's frustrating not being able to go back and add additional notes to certain pages.

  15. To make them decent looking it would be good if there would be flashcards with linings, dotted etc. thus improving the handwriting and keeping one look at all notes (for the visual lerners)

    Linierte, karierte, gepunktete Lernkarten für ordentlichere Notizen und Fortführung bisher genutzter Formate der Lernunterlagen

  17. I often need to change scrolling direction due to the fact that this setting cannot be applied to each document independently.
    Therefore, it would really help if the scrolling direction menu item was a simple toggle button, which would make perfect sense since there are only two options and so it is totally unnecessary to dive further in the menu settings to be able to change it.

  18. It would be amazing if text colour and size can be changed through keyboard shortcuts, and more advanced text features like Markdown can be brought in here. (Please learn from google docs and notion - thanks!)

  19. When Scanning for example an A4 document, it is „placed“ on the GoodNotes standard aspect ratio, creating white unused space next to it. It would be nice to either be able to select the aspect ratio or that the document is simply imported just like a normal photo (not placed on any white background with the wrong aspect ratio)
    Thank you very much :)

  20. Allow for hashtagging (much like Apple Notes). This allows for easy searches, etc. GoodNotes is great, but hashtags will make it better!
