  1. Would be nice to have an "insert line" option/feature like in Apple notes. It's frustrating not being able to go back and add additional notes to certain pages.

  3. a. No ability to edit pen thickness AFTER having written. I would like to be able to select various bits of writing and make them all the same thickness.

    b. Resizing handwritten text changes thickness (weight) of what's been written.
    Editing these resized notes exacerbates this problem; have to experiment to find a suitable pen weight so that new text matches weight of existing text.

    c. Zooming in does not scale pen weight - so zooming in and writing additional text means having to experiment with an appropriate pen weight in order for new writing to match existing writing.

  4. Optional list-view for the pages instead of thumbnails
    (similar as the solution for the documents)

  5. in the other templates section the portrait / landscape - chooser should be a toggle-switch (safe one click)

    The appearance should be pre-selected to the previous page (safe one click in most cases)

  6. I often need to change scrolling direction due to the fact that this setting cannot be applied to each document independently.
    Therefore, it would really help if the scrolling direction menu item was a simple toggle button, which would make perfect sense since there are only two options and so it is totally unnecessary to dive further in the menu settings to be able to change it.

  7. On the right side of the toolbar, there are three options: automatic disappearance of the laser trails, and the manual remove all/erase laser trails option.

    Explanation (optional to read): I’ve been using laser trails almost every time when I review because I can write on top of my written notes and annotated handouts to help me remember, but what’s frustrating about it is that it disappears so fast when I try to write multiple words of what I have just reviewed seconds before. I can’t use the regular pen and write above these papers of mine since they are annotated/written…

  9. Please add a feature that can analyse text in images (like Google Lens)
    - so that you can find text in pictures with the search tool
    - so that you can mark and copy text from images

  10. When I draw a square with the highlighting tool and hold down on it to let it lock and create perfectly straight lines, i‘d like to see the option to turn on „fill the square“ as with the geometric tool or the pencil :)

  12. I really wish they would add to their text options a stroke/outline. This would be especially helpful for headings. You can duplicate writing, change the colour and size but trying to line it up never gives a perfect outline.

  14. There are a few Sanrio;

    1. most of the time we may want to have consistent page size, this could be the size that we start the note book with. It could be nice if there is a option to “fit” any template to that size.
    2. we may want to have a specific sizes (multiple paper sizes) on notebook, it will be nice if we could have some control. For example assume that the typical size of notebook is A4 portrait, we may want to have a few sheet as A3 landscape.
    * one of the benefit is that…

  15. Every time you enter a Text into a text field and leave this particular text field, and create a new one at a different place. The previous configurations about the text field are set back to standard, and don’t stay the way you set it.

    This is really inconvenient, because if you want to create a note with various text fields which are all in the same style, you have to configure the text settings again and again for every text field

  16. I do a lot of practice problems and it is a little annoying to force scroll up to add a new page while other apps automatically add up a new page as I'm approaching the end of my current page.
    So I would love if there was an option to eliminate the gap between pages so that it looks like an infinite and unbroken canvas while pages are being added automatically as soon as the app senses that I'm approaching the end of my current page.

  18. I use GoodNotes for teaching (and it‘s great for that). However I‘d love widgets like timers for students. I use classroomscreen.com for timers and soundlevel sensors, which are oddly specific requirements for teachers. So I don‘t think features like these will be implemented.
    If I could use the presentation mode while in splitscreen, I could show timers/other widgets on one side, while not losing space in my GoodNotes document. Also I don‘t want students to see messages popping up on my screen.

  19. Allow for the length of the highlighter shape to be resized in length only. If I were to create a highlight line that is a bit too long or short, I do not want to also resize the height of the shape.

    This would be better than having to redraw the line.

  20. a pomodoro timer ( be it stopwatch or custom timer with breaks ) within the app.
    when the timer starts it blocks all the other apps and only lets you use goodnotes and allowed apps.
