  1. I have a notebook I’ve purchased that I want to get the original formatting and I can’t do that because it doesn’t show up in the store anymore and I would like to see my in app purchases history to redownload a new version of the notebook I already have. There needs to be a search history and search feature in the app so we can find these things.

  4. I would like to be able to set a default size of an element going forward. My elements almost always come into the document as huge no matter how big the thing was when I saved it (when using Add Element tool) and I don’t want to reduce file size so they stay high image quality if I do need it at a larger size. I’m usually zoomed in when I add an element to my page so having to zoom out as far as possible and move the element around so I can grab the size change is a…

  7. I have been using GoodNotes for 2 years now and love it so much! However as someone who has terrible handwriting I use the write to text option everyday. I love it however why the heck does it not have color presets??? All the others writing options have it so why not the text option? This along with saving multiple default fonts, colors, and sizes. Thank you :)

  8. I asked Goodnotes to add the function of drawing dashed lines, trust me, it is very useful when doing geometry problems with GoodNotes or writing related notes, thank you!

  9. There should be some middle ground for the answer. I mean currently there are only 2 options, “i know” “i dont know” it will be great if you add two more like “i knew it partially “ and “i knew it but took effort to get there”. And one more suggestion if it contains nested subfolders. It will be great.

  10. It would be great if there is a way to display the hexadecimal color codes right under the color in the color menu. Maybe with a button in the menu itself.

  11. Please make a chromeOS version and/or and android compatible, since ChromeOS can emulate android app through Googel Play Store.

  12. For people who create PDF digital planners for GoodNotes, it would be great if we could protect them from illegal distribution. I'd love to see GoodNotes develop it's own app store for these, so that the only way to get them is to buy and download them through the store. I think this would motivate more digital planner creation.

  13. Display or show the paper size of each template. For example A4 210 by 297 mm. This will allow us to know which template is bigger or smaller by looking at numbers instead of just guessing. Allow us to edit that size and also include a print preview

  14. As a digital journaller/planner, I want to be able to insert photos and then crop them into a perfect shape eg square, circle etc. I haven’t found a way to do this in Goodnotes.

  15. At the moment, it is a two step process to return to the normal eraser after using the highlighter only erase.

    It would be much more simple if the pop-up message had the option to disable the highlighter only erase, rather than the current pop-up where there is only the options to go to the settings or ignore.

  16. I'd like to see GoodNotes available on older versions of Windows like Windows7. There are many homeschoolers who do not have the latest devises, etc. You would be able to reach more individuals. Regardless GoodNotes is a fantastic app, keep up the good work.

  17. I like to color code my notes. It would be so helpful to have the option to set a different color palette for every notebook without it affecting the rest, rather than having to rearrange my palette every time i want to take notes for another subject

  19. When inserting a photo, most of the time I just want it to span from left to right while keeping it’s aspect ratio / proportions. Currently, scaling a photo is scaling it from it’s center. This results in the necessity for several resizes and drags to match the page border left and right.

    I suggest an option to just hit a button in the context menu to scale the picture to a size where it‘s borders automatically align with the page borders!

    An alternative would be to add the option to scale a picture from it‘s corner, rather than it‘s…

  20. 1) while copying and pasting text from one document to other opened in same window ,in addition to providing dedicated copy paste option , add a drag and drop feature
    2) if we have to copy and paste multiple times then everytime it switches tool to text styling and it disturbs the work flow and affects productivity ....it would be better if tool selection in every tab can be fixed , so we dont have to swicth tool from text styling to any other for copying again
