  1. set square (Geodreieck) instead of linear

    English version:
    I'm excited about the new scalable ruler. Angles to the horizontal can also be easily measured and drawn.

    BUT: Many colleagues, especially in mathematics, at my school and certainly at many other schools lack a scalable set square as a replacement or supplement. This could also be used to measure angles between two straight lines and not just to the horizontal.
    There are some ideas on how to incorporate a set square. However, these set squares do not adjust in size (scaling) when you enlarge or reduce the page. In addition, you cannot draw a line along the…

  5. Adding pressure adjustment for pencil feature

    Allow users to adjust the pencil's pressure sensitivity. This pencil is hard to write in a solid stroke without the users putting a very strong force. Also polish the stroke's shape so that when it's thicker, the writing will not diffuse. Apple's own pencil stroke will be a great example.

  6. Hide each tape color in one click

    Pleaseee make a feature where we can hide and unhide tapes in one click and have the option to do so with EACH tape color at a time. Something similar to KiloNotes! It just takes too long to individually press the tapes when we need to review!

  7. Tape

    Tape…Notability just published an update to allow something like white out tape that can be tapped to make transparent and then tapped again to ”reapply.”

    Teaching implications of such a tool are obvious and awesome.

    Please give us such a feature.

  9. Shape Library

    The existing shape tool uses a "draw and hold" feature to automatically recognize shapes. While useful, this can lead to incorrect shape detection, especially when drawing quickly in time-sensitive environments like college lectures. The tool may select the wrong shape, causing frustration and slowing down workflow.

    Implement an option to pre-select specific shapes (e.g., rectangle, circle, arrow, straight line) before drawing, similar to the shape selection tools available in Microsoft OneNote or Word. This would allow users to choose their desired shape in advance and draw it more quickly and accurately without relying on the shape recognition feature.

  10. MAKE THE RHOMBUS A SHAPE

    Make it possible for the app to recognise a rhombus shape and enhance shape recognition in general. Sometimes when I make small circles it detects them as ovals or worse as squares. For my use case this problem is a huuge limitation.

  11. What changes are occurring in gaming communities with 5G?

    I have one question I think we could talk about. What impact does 5G have on gaming communities and social interaction? I've noticed that as the internet improves, approaches to gameplay are also changing, as well as new forms of communication between players. All of this is happening against the backdrop of the rapid growth of mobile technology. What do you think?

  13. Tape removal

    Currently, when I use the tape feature to cover text or images in my documents, I must manually remove the tape on each page if I want to export a PDF without those overlays. This process can be time-consuming, especially for larger documents.

    Would it be possible to add an option to export a PDF document without the tape annotations? An export setting that automatically removes or hides all tape elements would greatly streamline the workflow for users who wish to share clean documents without manually editing each page.

  14. Ability to set default font per notebook

    My most used goodnotes notebooks are drastically different page sizes. I often have to switch the font continuously or duplicate an existing text box in the destination notebook in order to have the proper sized font.

  15. Flexible Page Positioning

    When writing near the edges of the page (especially the bottom or side), it becomes uncomfortable because the palm starts sliding off the iPad. This makes writing less natural and more difficult. It would be very helpful to have the ability to slightly shift or reposition the visible
    page area, so I can keep my hand comfortably on the screen while writing near the page margins.
    Avoid hand sliding off iPad

  18. icons, folder colour, gif, left bar

    1. you could add more icons for the folder, (especially for medicine :) ) and also more colors for the folder

    2. the bar on the left side (documents, search, marketplace...) could be automatically always hidden, I usually don't need it and I have to keep closing it to have a large area 
3. if it was possible to insert a gif into the notes

  20. Automatically set Highlight to back layer

    I noticed that the recent update allows highlighter and other objects to be manually selected and then “send to back”. I like that this feature allows for highlighter to be positioned behind text, but it would be useful if there was an option to have that automatically done or to have the highlighter tool set to automatically send highlighter to back layer once a line is drawn using it. Adding a toggle on the highlighter menu so users can select to automatically have highlighter “send to back” would be amazing.
