  1. I think it would be a nice add to the app if, every month or year, we would receive a summary of the number of real paper sheets that we saved now that we use digital ones. After some time, it could also tell us how many trees we saved or how many we could save in the future if we continue to use the app. Overall, this could be a good way to promote Goodnotes with friends or family!

  2. When I search up text, striked out words still appear in the results. When I strike out text I tend to not use them or want to see them. I also posted an idea erase pdf notes which would also solve this problem.

  3. The Eraser Tool is used to erase only pen & highlighter strokes. There should be a separate option for allowing us to erase PDFs or slides when importing something like lecture notes that may have some unnecessary notes or writing.

  4. Physics major here, I'm finding it incredibly difficult to graph functions using the current curve option. It would be much easier to have an option that makes graphing all sorts of functions easier. So far, the only app that comes close is Colla notes, but I'd prefer to use good notes.

  5. Having extra space to either side of the document that you can scroll over into so that when you're writing on the edge, you have a place to rest your hand.
    For me, I'm right-handed, and writing near the right-hand edge is always hard since there's nowhere to rest my hand, so it'd be nice to have extra space to the sides

  9. Ich muss das jetzt mal sagen da es im Appstore nicht geht. Bitte entfernt den In-App-Kauf es gibt so viele Nachteile vor allem für die die die App vorher GEKAUFT habe. ich benutze die App fast jeden Tag deswegen spreche ich aus Erfahrung und in meiner Klasse in der Schule benutzt auch jeder GoodNotes und ich sehe das schon kommen dass irgend jemand GoodNotes aus Versehen deinstalliert und wieder installiert und da alle das damals gekauft haben als man es noch kaufen musste wäre GoodNotes nach dem Installieren WEG. außerdem kann man die App nicht mehr mit der Familie teilen…

  10. Currently it takes quite a bit of effort to swipe between pages in Goodnotes. I think this was possibly a conscious choice but it has been this way at least since Goodnotes 4. Swiping takes a large travel distance on the screen by the user’s finger, and not just the velocity of the swipe. I feel like the interface should line up with Apple’s native page swiping feel (think pdfs in Books or the App Drawer).

    The current threshold to change pages makes sense for adding new pages, but it makes swiping between pages more difficult than it needs to…

  11. There are many great templates included in GoodNotes, but many times none of them are right for the format or type of notebook I'd like to create.

    It would be great if there would be some sort of page template design import ability. For instance a vector design of a template page in a SVG or PDF format.

  12. Undo/Redo hotkey has been removed recently.
    I'm really frustrated.

    Can you re-add Cmd-Z/Cmd-Shift-Z hotkey?

    It's definitely mandatory hotkey for keyboard users, and it's the most frequently used hotkey. with the pencil on my right hand, and with Cmd-Z hotkey on my left hand, it was a perfect way to draw and erase something almost at the same time.

    if not, I have to click "undo" icon.
    That's very inconvenient for ipad-keyboard users. Pls... ㅠ.ㅠ

  13. A tool that changes the colour of existing handwritten strokes in the same way that the stroke eraser removes handwritten strokes. Rather than having to make careful lasso selections around pen strokes then selecting colour, users could use this tool to quickly edit the colour of their text to highlight certain words using different colours really easily. This tool would have a colour pallet much like the pen tool that decides the colour the strokes will be changed to when painted over.

    The attached gif demonstrates the functionality of the proposed tool

  15. Google Docs has options to change the presets for each section (title, header, body, etc.)

    We use different fonts and sizes (sometimes colors) for each part of our notes, so adding this feature may be beneficial!

    Text Styles may also be the correct verbiage

  16. how many tries you need to draw a good looking curly brackets? too many!!
    everyone struggle with curly brackets drawing while taking notes, having the draw and hold shape recognition would make them nicer and reduce time to write and rewrite them.
    vote for it if you draw ugly curly brackets :)

  17. It would be nice to have the ability to digit text on the whole page so that it gets aligned automatically to the template rows (I always use the squared template), kinda like in word. I’d rather use only GoodNotes to take notes instead of writing the whole thing on word and then importing it in GoodNotes because I would have a lot more flexibility with the pen and all the other GoodNotes functions. However, with the text tool as it is now, you can only write in the text box which you can move and align to the margins…

  18. Non overlapping highlighter! Or the ability to change the opacity on the highlighter! I use goodnotes for drawing and coloring is soooo difficult right now because you can’t lift your pen up or it will overlap the color :(

  20. It would be awesome if you could add a method to convert copied text from a pdf to custom handwriting. As a software engineer, I propose adding the capability to enter a custom alphabet where the text is converted by mapping each letter (works in O(n) where n is the length of the text).
