  1. Make selecting and editing objects faster and easier

    This applies mainly to the situation when I am using an Apple Pencil.
    Let’s say I want to resize and reposition an object (image, shape or element).
    Right now, when a tool like the pen or the marker is selected, I have to tap and hold the object with my finger to bring up the edit menu. Then I have to select "Edit" to select the object and make it editable.
    Or I have to switch to the image, shape or element tool in the toolbar. Then I can tap the object with my pencil (or finger) to resize it…

  2. Editing text fields should work more like it does in Apple’s Pages or Microsoft’s Word in the Mac Version of GoodNotes

    Editing text in text fields should work the way it does in Pages or Word because that’s what people are used to. It’s confusing that GoodNotes has a different way of handling this and it throws me off every time I’m working with text fields.
    In Pages and Word, clicking a text field once selects it. Then you can click it again to get the cursor to appear so that you can start typing. To deselect the text field, you just click anywhere else in the page.
    However, in GoodNotes, after clicking a text field once to select it, clicking…

  3. [Tape] Measuring Tape

    Measuring tape for more precise sketches. Additionally a middle point feature is practical for most intents and purposes.

  4. list pop-up instead of horizontal

    the function of cut, copy, delete etc when selecting text,images and such are so far given in a horizontal manner.
    I would like to suggest to switch the display of the options to a list, instead of a long horizontal pop up.

    even after so much use of the app, it’s not intuitive to my eyes, and if by chance more users would feel the same, it might make the UX more smooth , thanks in advance ;)

  6. More Accurate Autogenerated Line/Shape

    Please try and make parabolic shapes, curved lines, and other shapes to more accurately represent the path of the pencil stroke. The ones now are good, but I would like a more accurate swept line - meaning closer to the path my pencil head took, not a predefined ellipsis.

  8. Gallery to share PDF templates created

    Hi GoodNotes Team,

    I think that on your website or blog (possibly even within the app) you should feature an area where users can share and download pdf templates they have designed to be used on the app. For example weekly planner templates, grocery list templates, to do lists, etc.

    As a side note, a partnership with someone like Canva could be really beneficial for your business in something like this. I love using them to create PDF templates for your app!

    Thank you for hearing my idea!

  9. Make GoodNotes for Kindle Fire tablets

    Not only could you translate the format, but this could really work well with the "Send to Kindle" feature.

  10. Eraser size adjusted to the speed of erasing

    Just like the one penultimate (the app by Evernote for handwritten notes) has! It's basically an adjusted eraser size which gets smaller when you're holding the eraser still but gets larger when you speed the eraser.

    This could make it easier and quicker to erase things without having to adjust the eraser size every time.

  11. Flash Cards + Spaced Repetition

    I know you have a Flash card tool and spaced repetition but only inside of a document. It would be great to have a separate place where you have all your flash cards within the Goodnotes app and it tells you when to study what and you then go to the specific document

  12. Note Taking Mode

    I would like the 'favorites' feature from Notability implemented along with the additional screen space that GoodNotes has when going into no-writing mode and taping the screen to make the bar go away.

    Basically I want an ACTUALLY full-screen paper notetaking experience with a small, customizable, movable shortcuts bar that can fit up to 5-10 preselected pen/size/colors. Aka, a streamlined (Note Taking Mode).
    Thanks!

  14. Need grid view of all the opened documents.

    As safari shows all the opened tabs in a grid view.

    Need grid view of all the opened documents.

    Thus it becomes very easy to navigate between multiple tabs of opened documents.
