  1. I love using GoodNotes with the outline feature for digital journaling. The only thing missing is that physical A5 book to hold in your hands. It would be so amazing to have a service to order a bound book once 250-300 pages in an A5 style notebook has been filled. Also to have a journal notebook option where page numbers are added, A5 is default, and landscape mode allows for a full 2 page spread to be shown. We get an amazing feature and it's monetizing for the devs. Win win.

  2. Add the option to increase/reduce stabilization of hand-drawn strokes and as this would help make a lot of people's handwriting less jittery and MUCH MUCH neater.
    For reference, Procreate has a great stabilization feature and I absolutely love using that to write down important titles.

    .. If not customizable stabilization, then a stabilization of around 30% to 35% on the Procreate standard would be absolutely wonderful :D

  3. Especially in the dark flashcards, if I have my display brightness set too low (like during the night) it becomes really difficult to see where the "question" space ends and the "answer" space begins. So I propose changing the line and font color to a bright gray to read it better!

  4. When you convert text from handwriting, I wish we could change the font, size, etc and putting the text block in a certain area without having to copy and paste.

  5. The current text box makes it impossible to accurately resize, move, or highlight text (and with an Apple Pencil, scribble) without accidentally doing one of the other things. It is ridiculously difficult especially with small text boxes and this is because the resize and move are so close to the text and each other. I find it very difficult to move text because I can’t “grab” the box in the first place.

    Notability has a much better text box so I think this is extremely possible to change.

  6. Being able to save more than one text style is necessary for Titles and Headers while taking notes. One more reason I have had to switch to notability. They allow three saved text favorites with font, color, and size.

  7. Have an option for a block of content to be copied to another page and any edits on either copy shows up on the other one. So for example, you could have a block of writing on a monthly calendar page and then sync it to a specific day's page so you don't have to rewrite everything. What you write on the monthly calendar for that day automatically shows up on the individual day page also.

  9. I 'd like to use GoodNotes on the Ipad for in-class teaching, mostly for presenting slides and occasionally writing notes on them. To my experience, GoodNotes does not support presentation clickers to move between slides. That would be a nice feature to have.

  10. I would love to see an erase feature added where you just circle around a specific section/word/etc. Then just click inside the invisible circle drawn and all of the stuff inside the circle erases. Sorta like how old smart boards did.

  11. I would love for my notes to auto position themselves properly and perhaps group together when im writing. For example when writing on paper you sometimes have to write on different sections of a page or printout (left side, right side, top, bottom, middle) and goodnotes doesn't do the without opening a different text box. And when trying to reposition all the text it doesnt move all your notes together without the user lassoing every little box you want instead of just grouping them and moving them all together. I would love to right a Topic in the middle with…

  12. Separate palettes for added pen colors. What I mean is when we add new colors, I would love be able to be make separate ones. Instead of only having one single palette, why not have the ability to create separate ones?

  17. Sometimes when i annotate my power points, there's too much thing on it and not enough space for me to write. It could be useful if we could use the comments concept but not only write text, but also take notes.

    Not sure if my idea is clear, but i would like a space where i can take note and draw whatever i want that will reduce, and i can drag wherever i want.

  20. Selecting hyperlinks require that you turn the pen-tool off, press on the hyperlink, then turn the pen-tool back on. Instead:

    Allow a long-press on a hyperlink to activate it.

    Alternatively, a double-touch on a hyperlink to activate it.

    I can't tell you how many times I've pressed on a hyperlink and end up writing a dot. I have several people I have recruited to be GoodNotes users and this is a frequent problem when they begin using the program ("Hey, why don't hyperlinks work?")
