  4. There are so many times I will write out a bunch of notes and then look at it think it wold look much better if it was a slightly smaller pen size. It would be great to be able to change the size of the pen after you have written using the lasso tool so you are not stuck with what you have written or have to rewrite everything so it's smaller because you changed your mind when it was too late.

  5. Make dotted lines of the lasso/selection tool invisible to a remote monitor or recording. This would give presenters the ability to live animate notes with motion, for example, in a physics lecture, to drag an object across the screen, illustrating constant velocity or acceleration, without the students seeing the dotted selection lasso.

  7. Is there any possibility to hold two or three fingers on the screen, and you scratch with the pencil towards different directions to switch to different tools and undo?
    It'd be very convenient and cool I think. (Honestly, I'm wondering if I should ask Apple for this but not you)

  9. Currently enabling or disabling auto advance requires 4 'clicks': 1. the 'three dots' menu button 2. document editing 3. enabling/disabling auto advance 4. closing the menu window.

    As someone who frequently switches between marking up documents (where I don't use auto advance) and my own notebooks (where I do use auto advance), it can be annoying to have to go through this process tens of times per day.

    It would be nice if there was a shortcut, or if one could optionally pin the auto advance option to the toolbar.

    Cheers!

  10. If it is too hard to add an in app audio recording functionality. PLEASE allow us to import into our documents audio files similar to how OneNote allows you. The ideal thing would be in app recording that is synced to your hand written or typed notes but since that is harder. We are willing to compromise on this first, but please give us something. It is really inconvenient to have to use other apps to split your notes. It is not efficient for us.

  11. I loved WunderList and used it extensively to keep track of all the things I needed to do - until Microsoft ruined it. I have since reverted to using the Apple Reminders app. It is ok, but nothing like WunderList. It would be very nice for GoodNotes to have something similar to WunderList, whereby when you have a listed item then you complete it by checking a box, the item disappears. If you want to go back and look at what was completed or you completed something by accident, you can look at all the items on the checklist.

  12. Hello,
    First of all I must say that I love the app and the overall workflow it provides. However, I found few small issues that I think could really improve the performance:

    1. I would like to be able to export selected pages. Sometimes I need to send pdf of 2-3 pages from my notes and I cannot do it easily.

    2. I would like to be able to share whole folder with my cooworkers

    3. I would like to notify my coworkers when I edit something in the document. Maybe some kind of pop-up notification or icon would be enough.

    These are…

  14. I wish the highlighters appeared more vibrant and neon on white paper. When I select a really neon highlighter, I usually have to double the highlight to get the desired brightness.

  15. It would be great to have the option to autodeselect the highlighter and lasso tool like it is with the eraser. Would make note taking a lot faster!

  16. When using the shape tool, make it so that when the line is relatively close to horizontal, make it snap into perfectly horizontal. Underlining pdf's is hard when all the straight lines are slightly slanted. I think this worked until the update 3 days ago. Thanks.

  18. Hope to add the function of global handwritten to text and the function of text box content splitting at will.
    Global handwriting to text: because writing is not as good-looking as standard font, you want to add global handwriting to handwriting. That is, select the pen column to add a function. When this function is turned on, all handwriting will be converted to standard font by default, and the font size is equal to that of handwriting.
    Text box random split function: because some text is obtained by OCR, after entering the text box, the whole text box is a…

  20. It needs notification time review and no need to change when I study it three times a day.
    The button study again like a counter without any conditions.
