  1. Recognize a double-tap to change to drawing mode. Could also do triple-tap to change to erase. Or let user assign the action.

  2. Change the lasso tool so that it separates images and elements.
    So it would have:
    'Handwriting'
    'Images'
    'Elements'
    'Text boxes'
    in the options for what you can select.
    Because when im trying to move a small element on a large image, it moves them both which is not what i want to do.

  3. Deep links are a game-changing feature of apps like Craft. They allow me to save a link in the form appname://open?fileID=xxxxxx which is fantastic for archiving, planning, references, and other workflows. I don’t want to use shareable links for this purpose because it’s less efficient.

    I hope the suggestion is useful!

  4. It would be great to have the option to use a sidebar like the one we already have in the Mac version also on the iPad. Especially on large iPads this would be an easy, fast, convenient and clear way of navigating around larger documents.

  5. The typeface would change when I type 2 languages an I gotta switch it back to the default font from time to time manually and it is really annoying. Hope it can switch back to the default font automatically after the typing the Incompatible language (I mean Chinese).

  6. I have a music notebook and you already have staff paper for transcriptions in music notation. I like that a lot. I have some other apps like iGigBook and Musicnotes which accept commands from a Bluetooth page turner. It has two pedal switches; one for forward navigation, and the other for reverse navigation of a multi page score of music. I can play hands free without the need for a human page turner. Or having to stop at every page boundary to tap the screen for the next page. Can you please add this functionality? Thank you, and good work…

  8. Enable different search highlight colors. I tend to use orange highlighter (best for multiple layers for emphasis) and the search highlighter gets drowned out with it.

  9. The document scan post processing for taking pictures is really good but I commonly take pictures of my notes to insert them into goodnotes using image insert because document scan creates a new page unnecessarily. Would it be possible to implement the post processing to any image after having taken the photo? Or even making it possible to insert images that get post processing using camera insert?

    Did an example of what it would look like by cropping the result from document scan below and comparing to what the camera gets.

  10. The ability to close the current flashcard while studying it if a modification or edit needs to be made then jump back into study mode. Currently one has to close the study session and search through potentially hundreds of cards to find the one that needs to be edited then start a new session.

  11. Move the 'move left, right and enter' buttons to the left as the function encourages writers to write only on the left side of the page. This would make it more convenient

  12. There should a feature which allows to add definitions to words. If you tap a word you can write up a definition for it and upon tapping on it later you can see what it means. Like flash cards built into your writing.

  13. When I use goodnote to note my unknown words in a GRE practice, I need to copy the words for Third-party dictionary and note the definition in zoom view, but in zoomed window I can't copy.

  14. GoodNotes is an amazing app and I really appreciate all it can do. Recently, I started making flashcards with it. This is when I encountered a problem while I was trying to study those flashcards. I learned that I couldn't zoom in on the flashcards when in study mode. This is a major issue with the flashcards feature because my small iPhone screen does not show the details of the pictures that I attached, which makes it impossible for me to study these flashcards properly. Please try to fix this ASAP because zooming in on the images to see the…

  17. As someone with hand tremors, it is difficult to get things like text boxes and pictures and doodles into position easily. It would be nice if I could select an item, move it close to the desired position, then nudge it up/down/left/right with the arrows on the keyboard.

    • I know tapping on the screen deselects, so I am not sure how to accomplish this with gestures when there isn’t a keyboard... maybe drag the selection with one finger and hold down another finger to allow you to tap outside the selection to nudge it in that direction...

    The option to…

  18. It would be great if there were more stickers for note-taking. I'm thinking like a ! and ?. And also like the word IMPORTANT. Just more note-taking sticker options

  19. When you open a pdf or a slide that has been imported have it gray out/highlight places where it thinks would be a good idea to highlight. Would be great for people that are not good at taking notes

  20. When inserting screenshots in the flashcards function, they are blurred when queried, making it difficult to read. It would be great if this could be improved e.g. if the flashcards are displayed over the whole screen.
