  2. When importing pages, you often don't have the writing space you need. Adding an option to cut a page in 2 and expand the writing space that way, or expand a page with paper to the side would be great to solve this problem

  5. Hello, could you all add the ability to have all of our colors be universal across all pens, pencils, sticky notes, text, and etc.? It is annoying trying to use a color that I know I have added with the pen but did not feel like adding to the pencil, text, and highlighter separately. Could we also have the ability to create color pallet groups? Similar to the one in procreate (Picture below). Sometimes it is over whelming trying to find a color. And most of my colors mimic my real life pen colors. So being able to place colors…

  6. add something like google translate inside the app. Also, it will make the work easier for a student like me who speak Arabic and all his subjects in English, so translator will help me if I have any issue with the vocab a lot of apps like callnote have this feature and I’m sure that Goodnotes can do the same

  7. Allow saving favorite text styles: combination of font, size, color, alignment. Allow choosing which style to use from a list of favorites.

  8. Please add a type of "streamline" for each pen type that is adjustable so it would fit each individuals needs and wants.
    It would improve handwriting which would prevent me from spending so much time during note taking to go back and rewrite things and it would make the notes that I do write much easier to read. It would make notes more aesthetically pleasing and legible which would save time. It is an easy win win win situation.

  9. I would love an option for more smooth and streamlined handwriting like in procreate. I use GoodNotes mainly for handwriting and sometimes writing on an iPad can get a little wobbly

  11. The writing produced in goodnotes is too choppy and not as smooth as the writing produced in the Noteshelf app. Apart from how good your handwriting is, the resulting curves in each handwriting looks more realistic. Please improve the writings produced in GoodNotes so it results in smoother curves and handwriting.

  12. Please make it possible that one square of checkered paper can be adjusted to be 0.5 cm wide. Do the same with the distance between dots on dotter paper and so on…

  13. After this new update everything is so much less user freidnly. it makes me so frusterated to use. the shapes tool is critical for me in my coursework and they completely ruined it. I never makes the shape that you want and you are unable to edit it. I dont see one positve or effective change in this update. Pleas allow us to revert back to old good notes it was so much better.

  14. Add an option to turn AI off. This feature is obstructive and if it has to be in the app, give users an option to opt out or turn AI off.

  15. Different suggestion from the much needed sub-outlines (see the 600+ voted on suggestion by Daniel Wyatt “Sub-Outlines in Outline”) which would bring in a collapsible feature in Outline.

    This is about being able to assign, to different elements of the outline, headings which would be integrated into the Outline system. Right now the document may have different internal headings, but if I add these to the GoodNotes Outline, they are difficult to keep in their actual order.

    The suggestion is as follows :
    Include the most common and convenient method to add headings using the # (as is possible in…

  16. Currently I can only save one default setting for a text field. This is very inconvenient when using multiple fonts and font sizes in the notes. It would be nice to be able to save between 10-15 different text field variations.

  17. If you export a single document as PDF and set the setting to "Editable", the outline is preserved. The PDF's which are created by the automatic backup (Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive) do not contain the outline, because they are saved as "Flattened". Please add an option to automatically save the documents as "Editable-PDF" in the cloud.
    Alternatively, an option for a one-time backup of the whole library in GoodNotes to "Editable-PDF" would be a great option. At the moment the option "Backup Data" can only be used to create a backup in the Good-Notes file system.

  18. 1) Make the text box to be limited to the paper's boundaries and continues the text automatically to the next page (similar to Microsoft Word) as soon as you hit the bottom of the paper

    2) Make Indentation possible with bullet points and other symbols

  19. It would be useful to be able to edit a document while being in fullscreen mode.
    Having some kind of guesture or small button to toggle the fullscreen mode in that case would be great. As of now there always is a menu bar displayed on the top.
