  1. It would be amazing to have access to more size options, not just the predetermined like A5, letter or GoodNotes size that comes with the app.

    With these:
    - If someone like to print the notes, this could be helpful to adjust everything.
    - This would solve a size problem to LATAM (with "Oficio size").
    - If someone wants to print and waste the less amount of paper, we can personalized the size to the half of the measurement.
    - This would let create files and images that can be used for different social media (for example Instagram post or…

  2. Make it possible to set opacity of text box background so underlying items could still be seen.

  3. Some answers of questions are graphic based. It would be great so have some space for sketching instead of mind based answer contol.

  4. In Noteshelf, instead of simply cropping an image, you can erase the background. This is super helpful when taking quick notes for class and capturing images from a presentation. I don't like having to do a freehand crop in GoodNotes just to get rid of the extra stuff. It slows down the note taking process.

  5. Hallo,

    Ich nutze GoodNotes nun seit einiger Zeit und bin sehr davon angetan. Ich habe davor ein Jahr lang Notability getestet und muss sagen, dass das einzige was mich bei GoodNotes hält die Schnelltaste für Formen ist. Um Notability eine Nasenlänge voraus zu sein wären meiner Meinung nach folgende Verbesserungen Nötig:

    1. Es sollte möglich sein ausgeschnittene Textstücke,Bilder oder sonstiges von einer Seite auf die Nächste zu verschieben ohne die ausschnitte erst ausschneiden und dann wieder einfügen zu müssen. Wenn man mal schnell eine Seite umsortieren will stört dieser Vorgang den Workflow erheblich.

    2.Wenn man ausschnitte von einem Aufgabenblatt ausschneidet und…

  6. In the way that you can save your favorite brushes, meaning type, color and size, in other apps so you can quickly switch between the main brushes you use in a document, it would be nice if Goodnotes had a similar option as well. It would really speed up my note taking proces if I could quickly switch between different pens and highlighters.

  7. Ich hätte gerne die Möglichkeit, Ordner für eine bessere Übersichtlichkeit einzufärben. Und auch die einzelnen Registerkarten würde ich gerne einfärben können, um schneller etwas zu finden.

  8. Maybe add things like a ruler / triangular ruler to make it easier to use goodnotes in math / geometric classes.

  9. Right now good notes doesn't support pinching with three fingers to copy and pinching out to paste. The only option is to hold for a second until the copy option pops up which is a bit tedious and slow.

  12. I would be really cool and easier to use if you had an optional feature of adding streamlined pens to smooth out your handwriting as I write on a glass screen with the apple pencil an my lines can turn out a bit wobbly or it really strains my hand when I try to use more control so my handwriting is neater.

  13. Your pdf sizes are too big, when I compare it other pdfs in terms of page numbers. That creates a big problem in iCloud free users and who have limited storage like 32 GB. Also, the program runs sometimes slow in notebooks with many pages.

  14. I do a lot of handwriting in GoodNotes, but would love to have improved text functionality. The current formatting options (like no bullets or lists, and not being able to type on the full page, having the create multiple text boxes for multiple pages, etc.) are super frustrating. I'd love to have all my notes in one place instead of having to use a different app for typed notes.

  15. It would be tremendous to have the ability to launch the page organizer (with Thumbnails, Favorites, Outlines) via a keyboard shortcut. Furthermore, once in that window, it would be handy to be able to jump between the Thumbnails, Favorites, and Outlines views.

    I use all 3 of those organizational features in different ways within the same notebook, but navigation can get cumbersome. Having these navigational shortcuts would be a game changer.

  16. If you've ever used procreate, you know what I'm referring to.

    The zoom out / zoom in is an annoying aspect (I'm an avid Goodnotes user so I mean this without malicious intent) when trying to focus on a specific area of the page to write notes on. Let's say for example I am focusing on a diagram I'm drawing and want to zoom out on that specific area to only see my diagram and focus on that area, it's not possible; when zooming out, the whole page is zoomed out. I would love to have zoom in/ out that…

  18. Please add text option to PDF. Microsoft One Note allows drawing and text typing. Please do the same for cleaner notes option which allows mobile users to also add emojis from keyboard!

  19. I would find it very useful if GoodNotes would include support for the eraser end of the pen used in higher-end Wacom screens and tablets. Thanks!

  20. Double-tapping the erasure tool brings up some options. Add an objects switch to allow me to turn that off. This way I can hand-draw a quick chart and begin filling it with text. Now if I need to make changes I can simply turn off objects and not have to worry about erasing the cell borders.
