  2. I found GoodNotes to be very versatile even for doing wireframes for mobile design. Although with the ever changing sizes, it would be great if we can customize the size.
    GoodNotes is also the most smooth note writing app I’ve used. It would be great to have an option for unlimited canvas so I can use it for larger brain storming sessions.

  3. When working on a dark background, all GoodNotes highlighters are soo hard to see. they lose their color after I take off my pencil.

    There must be optional setting that colors stay the same, as in Notability.

    Yet, another reason for me why I have to use Notability.

  4. It appears that the only way to get a white piece of paper is to use the standard paper. It would be great to be able to change the default paper type color within a notebook.

  11. I often find that I need to resize a shape I have already drawn and when I erase a portion of the shape and redraw it, the app treats the change as a new shape instead of as an update to an existing shape which results in lines not matching up between the unerased portin of the shape and the new portion. I have attached a pdf that shows the problem.

  12. Create a sliding bar to adjust the strength of the line smoothness to personal preference - from
    Really strong to none.

    This will be helpful for those who don’t have a steady hand, and also for creating illustration doodles, lettering and neater handwriting.

  13. I would like to see less restrictions with the resizing option of notes/pictures in the app. Firstly, all eight of the resizing nodes behave in the exact same way (with the selected item being resized with the same aspect ratio from the exact center). I think this needs to be swapped out for the ability to distort the image along the x- and y-axis with the appropriate nodes, while keeping the ability to scale it proportionally using the corner nodes. Secondly, I think that the sizing should only occur from the selected node — i.e. not from the center, ever…

  14. I’d like to be able to enter math equations in text with special characters like in Microsoft word. With special characters and symbols. I use good notes for engineering.If you look a word, it has equation, and symbols, subscripts and super scripts. That would be great.
