  3. The toolbox now has a set number of options, it would be useful for everyone if there is an option to edit the items in toolbox, so it can be customized to each individual use. For me I never use zoom or camera or text options, but I would like to have some extra pen colors.

  4. I like to convert hand written notes to text for transfer to Word etc. having to deal with the carriage returns your converter puts in is a pain. It would be much better if the conversion just used word-wrap and let us deal the the txt box shape.

  5. There is a problem with the shape tool, very often I have to repeat the action, because of missing couloring of the area I marked. It would be very nice, if it would be possible to coulor an area after marking it with the pencil.

  7. Please implement a way to export notes to Powerpoint. Shapes should be converted to Powerpoint shapes, hand-written text should be converted to typed text.

  8. Could you fix the copy and paste issue?
    When I use the rubber band tool
    to convert handwriting into text and
    try to copy to another app there
    are un-wanted line breaks. It's impossible
    to get rid of them too.
    I would love to be able to
    copy right into my other word editor that
    my employer requires I send the final draft
    in.

  9. It would be nice if I could not only draw perfect circles and other shapes but also draw perfect semicircles and quadrants. That would make a lot of things sooo much easier!

  11. Can we give GoodNotes access to our location so we can have our notes location stamped in the Document Info section? That way we can also search for our notes based on location. Notes at home vs at the library.

  13. I think it would be nice to have more buttons in the top bar(there is enough space available) where you can customize pen or highlighter options and save them for quick access. An example could be button #1 pen color = blue, thickiness = 8 button #2 color = blue, thickness = 16.

  14. I would like to be able to change from pen to highlighter with a single key. P to pen, H to highlighter, for example. Would save me time, something that simple. Also, it would look way more pro.

  15. 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.

  18. Wie wäre es mit einer Stempel Funktion um sich eigene Stempel zu erstellen und diese zB mit bei Unterschriften einzufügen?
    Natürlich kann man das via Bilder machen - aber dies zu integrieren wäre natürlich netter

  19. Currently, Google Drive Auto Backup is restricted to the root level of My Drive. I use Goodnotes together with Obsidian, with my Obsidian vault stored in Google Drive. I would like to back up my handwritten notes as PDFs directly into a folder such as:

    Google Drive → Obsidian Vault → Goodnotes

    More generally, allowing users to select an arbitrary Google Drive folder would make Auto Backup much easier to integrate with file-based workflows and other applications.

    Ideally, tapping Backup Location would open a Google Drive folder picker where the desired destination can be selected.

  20. I would love it so that there's an easier way to view two pages from the same notebook at once in the same window. It's a pain to have to open a whole new window and then re-open everything just to see two pages. I would love if there was just an option for Goodnotes to do it without me having to go through all this hassle.
