  1. I am seeing people migrate to drawing apps for note taking more and more now, I am a student.

    The app “Concepts” is drawing app that has lately been covering note taking capabilities as well. They have 2 options for their tool menu:

    A “linear” toolbar (like the one on Goodnotes 6) and a tool “wheel”. The wheel expands to a wheel shaped color palette when picking colors

    Goodnotes needs to implement this option for people who want more space to navigate and take non-linear notes (like mind maps), while also keeping the regular toolbar (for people who who use…

  3. It'd be good to have an option for this
    In Notability, in a vertical scrolling document, when you write at the bottom of a page, it seamlessly lets you draw through to the next page. On GoodNotes 5, you are forced to remain constrained to the current page. Maybe have a page lock option or something to remedy this issue since it'd be useful for people who like unlimited scrolling documents.

  4. It would be great to have an option to regroup hand drawn text as one chunk of text.

    How i see it: When selecting a chunk of hand drawn arrows, we would have an option to regroup the selected vectors and merge everything as one chunk.

    It would be much easier to move things around.

  7. GoodNotes is my favorite app, but it is difficult to use because when you create a new note (file) and close it after writing, you have to choose in a dialog whether to save or delete (not save).

    Deciding whether to delete a created note can be done from the file list, so it is time-consuming to select it from the dialog each time it is created. It would be nice if it could be selected in the settings so that it can be automatically saved. It would reduce the number of one-tap operations.

    For example, in Procreate, the file…

  8. Das Textfeld ist nicht wirklich optimal gelöst.
    Man muss die Schriftart, Schriftgröße selber verändern können.
    Das hilft im Unterricht überhaupt nicht.
    Ich dachte, mit dem Update wird das besser.
    Die Schüler kommen damit nicht klar.

    Ergänzen Sie bitte Elemente, um selber und individuell formatieren zu können.

  9. Currently, GoodNotes offers a few basic actions in Apple Shortcuts.
    I would love to see more advanced actions that allow users to customize their workflows to a greater extend.

    Here are some automations/workflows I could imagine:

    • Shortcut to open the notebook corresponding to the lecture your currently sitting in (by checking your current calendar events)
    • Every evening, automatically check whether I’ve written something to my diary today, if not, prompt me to do so and open the last page
    • Every evening, check which lecture notes were edited, then export them and share them with a friend who doesn’t use GoodNotes

  13. I would love it if there would be an option to adjust the arc shapes since it’s a problem whenever I want to use goodnotes for math, physics, or any class that requires drawing models. Maybe have it as an option to grab the middle point of a drawn line/arc and have the option to move it how we want to create a perfect shape for graphs and drawings.

  14. It would be amazing when you click on a specific part of your writing, it jumps to the recording corresponding to it like in notability. This feature is the only thing that notability exceeds in to Goodnotes.

  15. iOS apps normally update automatically as they become available. For some reason GoodNotes does not do this and the user either a) discovers that notes no longer sync across devices and/or b) discover app needs update by digging into the "About" panel. Normally iOS app updates are minimally impactful but I have now seen GoodNote cloud sync break twice and require manual intervention by user to discover the issue and manually update, I would like to suggest that Goodnotes adopts the process of most all other iOS apps and automatically update in background to minimize user impact.

  17. For natural scientists it is necessary to be able to write text characters and numbers superscript / subscript. This could be done via the format selection.
    The ability to insert mathematical formulas and shapes would also be helpful. A text recognition of mathematical notation would be even better.

  18. When you are in the zoom window feature and are coming to the end of the window the line should automatically continue to flow so the writing flow is not stopped. Also the next line should be suggested like now with the window but also that suggestion should not stop the writing flow.

  19. I sometimes need to change everything from US letter yellow to US letter whitebackground. That's for the purpose of printing. Otherwise, the yellow background could be distracting. It would be nice if we could have an option to do that.

    Thanks!

  20. Enable the ability to mirror text, figures and pictures, perhaps add it to the lasso tool. As a chemistry student, it would become so much easier to draw isomer molecules.
