  1. It would be great if we could fill the shapes that we create with more unique fills. Not only will this make the process more creative but it would also make our visuals more understandable.

  3. I type the outlines for my university lecture notes in one go on my laptop and it would be great if there was a keyboard shortcut to add an outline for the current page. That way I wouldn't have to switch between the keyboard and trackpad all the time.

  4. This idea is taken from other existing apps like Documents for iOS. When using the highlighter with text the colored line snaps to text automatically, in this way you have not to worry about going outside the line.

    See the GIF to understand what I mean or try the Documents app

    I would maintain the awesome straight line highlighting feature of GoodNote but I would add a new button for this new one or maybe as an option of the actual highlighter.

    Thanks a lot and if you like this feature vote it!

  5. I love the auto-backup feature. However, I find it annoying that it doesn't upload my custom headings. If I want to do so, I shall upload every pdf manually.

  6. When I wanted to add new colours to the palette by typing in the hex number, I couldn’t see the number as I can’t scroll.

  7. it will be ok to import a picture ( for example a nautical compass), filtering white so it can be transparent ( already possible now ) and make an area impenetrable so that we can draw straight lines during lessons.

  9. Would anyone else love to see the pages in Goodnotes have the ability to freely rotate/turn to help with writing fatigue?

    Having my iPad on a stand to not have it flat only allows one angle for my hand. If we could freely rotate the page (as many of the drawing apps can), would help tremendously with writing fatigue and bullet journaling / drawing.

  10. 我有一個這樣的想法,在整個頁面中提供內置的一個個小頁面。這些小頁面可以通過添加的按鈕打開,但這又不同與超鏈接。這樣做的好處是可以不影響整個頁面佈局的前提下使筆記更一目瞭然。希望你們能採納我的這個想法,期待您的回復。
    I have an idea to provide built-in small pages in the entire page. These small pages can be opened by adding buttons, but this is different from hyperlinks. The advantage of this is that the notes can be more clear without affecting the layout of the entire page. I hope you can adopt this idea and look forward to your reply.

    The original content of this content is Chinese, and only the original text can express the most accurate meaning.

  11. Goodnotes highlighter palette sucks at opacity. It's like using a highlighter that is screaming in pain and is about to die out lol. I would have to rehighlight the entire line 5-6 times just to get my desired level of opacity and that really sucks as it causes distraction in flow while reading.

    About sharp straight end what I mean is to add a feature like OneNote. DEAR GN , REAL HIGHLIGHTERS HAVE SHARP ENDS NOT ROUNDED GLOBULAR ENDS. Please change these two features 🙏

  12. I use GoodNotes a lot to insert pictures of my lectures and make digital notes with pictures and I also use pictures to make digital presentation boards. Every time I insert a new picture, I have to manually adjust the size to match the previous picture that I inserted and it takes a lot of time wasted on unnecessary tasks. I was hoping if your software engineers team could code a feature that would show grids once you are at the exact same size if the pictures are being placed next to each other on the same page.

  14. I use to have 3 or 4 notebook opened (as tabs), on the iPad when we open Goodnotes we are on the last state (with notebooks already opened), on the Mac each time I open Goodnotes I start with a blank stage, on folder page and nothing opened.

  15. I read the Support comment:
    "The latest update GoodNotes 5.5 is now available on the App Store. While scrolling through your document, you can now see the current page number and the total number of pages in this document. If you don’t like to see the page numbers, you can disable it in Menu > Settings > Document Editing."

    It's great but with this new suggestion I mean ADD as a part of the Notebook on every page, not just when scrolling. This would allow us to easily see the page whether the Notebook is printed. It also can help…

  17. please redesign the „more option“ - window, that the diffrent options aren‘t listed in line and you have to click the leftor right button to see the other options. Please list the diffrent options in vertical way (like in the picture)

  18. The ability to have a function under Export page that not only exports the PDF but also the converted text in the body of an email would be great.

    The Remarkable 2 implements an element of this in one step and also Notes Plus implements this quite well.

    I take copious notes in all my meetings but then send to my PA to action highlighted actions straight after each meeting.

    It’s cumbersome in Good Notes currently, you have all the functionality ... just needs pulling together in one step.

  19. Just like creating unique pen by myself, which will be convenient in particular occasion, instead of setting everyting any time we switch to another occasion.
    It's the same with other tool, but pen is the most important.
