  1. While creating a shape, it is possible to freely change its proportions (ie, a square into a rectangle, or a circle into an ellipse). Afterwards, however, these proportions become locked: the 'resize' function works in effect as 'rescale'. I often find, however, that I need to change them, f. example if I am using the shape to outline some handwritten text, and I add to that text. I often end up having to redraw the entire shape.

    All you would need to do is to let the 'resize' option work for shapes in the same way as it already does…

  2. I bought a Remarkable tablet because I hate writing on the iPad screen. While the Remarkable is a great writing instrument, it has no way to search the text you have written. The Remarkable iPad allows one to share notes with GoodNotes. This works great but unfortunately the imported notes don't have a converted text layer. It would be great if GoodNotes could convert the handwriting of imported Remarkable notes so that a note would become searchable

  3. In the app, highlighters are perfect, they lay behind the text, making it pop, and still doesn’t bother when reading it over again. When I want to convert my notes to share it with others, or printing it, PDF looks the best, sharpest. But after converting it, the highlight lays on top of the note making it less nice, and less readable. Is there any chance that we can still enjoy the notes as nice and sharp, even after converted to a PDF?

  4. I like how the app Procreate has implemented their Quick Menu. It is fast and easy to pull up. Users can assign their preferred tools to the different slots in the menu. I would love a gesture-activated Quick Menu in GoodNotes. It can speed up my workflow to a great extent. I would enjoy the process more too because I will no longer have to stop to reach for the tool that I want or to go through menu options. The process becomes faster and more intuitive without interfering with my train of thought.

  7. It would be awesome if the print feature could be expanded. Especially being able to print a selection of pages and being able to choose whether to include the background (as in the pdf export) would be super duper awesome!

  8. Hey I tried posting this prior but I wasn’t clear enough and the thread was closed so I’m going to try again with an image of how I think would be great way to implement the flashcards.

    Essentially there would be a button, either a stand alone button or within the selection tool that will create 2 selection boxes (sequentially obviously), the first being a selection of the question and the second being the selection of the answer (I guess it would also work fine if it were a lasso style too). Please see the image if I wasn’t clear…

  9. I use Google Drive to view my docs on GoodNotes through other devices, to save the my iCloud storage space for other things.

    I would appreciate an extension of the Collaborate Feature on Goodnotes to extend to Sharing a link through Google Drive as well, not just iCloud, if it is feasible.

    Thank you for the amazing app! I love having one location for all my notes on different subjects!

  13. When you use a colour from the colour wheel you can save it as default. However, if you completely shut the app down these saved defaults are gone and it becomes so difficult to find the exact colour again. Can you make it so that either the new saved default colours remain even after shutting the app down or make a tool so that you can ‘grab’ any colour from the document and use it as a pen or highlighter colour.

  14. I think it would be very useful to have the ability to see and reorganize the list of open tabs. This way, when I have 20+ tabs open and I’m viewing the last document but also need to access the first tab I don’t need to swipe all the way to the first tab but can pull open the list view and click directly two the desired tab. If I find that I need to consistently switch between the two, I can reorganize the tabs and place them right next to each other.

  16. It’s very frustrating that as I work with my self made planner that there is no way to add additional links to other pages within goodnotes. Some people may even like to be able to link to websites.
    I think it’s far too long overdue so I hope you start adding this feature soon. It would be nice to add a link tool to an added image , click on it and link it to another page.

  17. I love the presentation mode options when I share my iPad via airplay. Unfortunately, airplay in unreliable during zoom calls and I need to share my iPad via cable. But then, the presentation mode options are not available anymore, with all the downsides: people can see me zooming, my toolbar, the slides appear from the right, so I can't add have nice transitions for bullet points, etc.
