  1. There are three different sizes of erases to choose. It would be great to change the size, so that I can erase very small written things.

  2. please add a feature that you can instantly resize an object after circling it with the lasso tool by zooming with two fingers. So you don‘t have to tap on “resize“.

  3. It is unnecessarily frustrating that when you select an item in the toolbar, you can't select that toolbar item again to deselect/get out of its menu. Your only options are to tap the top of the screen, or tap the page, which writes on it immediately and then you have to erase that. It's such a dumb and simple problem to fix, cmon.

  4. 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!

  5. when I'm writing in my notebooks I'm using the Cornell methode and write key words in a different colour. Adding filters to search (eg text that's only written in purple) would really come in handy when navigating through lots of pages.

  7. Insert Stickers in the center of the current view. Currently it’s centered on your current page, so you always have to zoom out, lasso it, pull it to your view area and then zoom in to improve the alignment.

  9. I would like the to have the ability to choose that accent colours within the GoodNotes app. I refer mainly to the blue strip at the top when viewing a document. Often, I turn my iPad onto the classic invert setting for nighttime viewing but the blue bar turns almost white when in dark or light mode on classic invert. I would like the ability to choose the colour of this blue bar.

  11. Not a big fan of the very rounded shape. What about something more square or elliptical for pen options?

    It would make lines look more crisp!

  12. When testing on flash cards students can enter a time (e.g. 10 minutes) and the app will prioritise the most appropriate cards. This would allow students to use when they have a quick 10 mins in between lessons and know they are using the spacing effect well.

  14. It would be a huge time saver if somehow the app would automatically index any sort of annotation to either the front of the doc to summarize certain chapters or documents. This could effectively summarize the ideas and create an outline of the doc so that one would not have to go back to find different highlights etc.

  15. Some books with many pages (around 1000) are not being auto-backed up to my GDrive. It would be good if you can fix this issue.

  16. When you select a paper template of any size e.g. A4, letter, etc. by default have the paper fill the screen width so it's not necessary to expand it. I can double-tap the paper template and it fits screen size but having it fit without double-tap would save so much time when you change from portrait to landscape and back again. Thanks. PS Notability has this feature.

  17. Please remove the ability to move a line with a finger. If I want to make changes to the document I will use my pencil. The finger is only for scrolling/navigating. I dont want to always switch to the „reading mode“ before I scroll around in the document.

  19. It would be awesome if eraser could erase parts of images i paste in. It would make edits to a scan or a screenshot so much easier. Currently i have to lasso a blank part of the page, take a screenshot of that empty blob and paste it over where i want to erase. Allowing the eraser to actually edit the pasted image would be really slick.

  20. One of my favorite ways to use GoodNotes is to import documents and annotate them on the app. However, I think the experience would be a thousand times better if we could have the option to expand the margins because oftentimes the original pdf doesn't have enough space to write notes and/or insert images for reference.
