  1. I have imported my own font to use, however, I am unable to use it as fast and efficiently as I wish because every time I create a new text box it goes to the standard font style and size

  2. I've found that when I have Goodnotes open on my Mac and iPad, the syncing is very slow - I like to add pictures on my computer and then write notes on my iPad; however, it can take up to 30 minutes for the pictures I paste from my computer to show up in the iPad version of the app... would it be possible to add a button/feature for us to sync in real-time for the specific documents we're working on?

  3. We should have the option to create/edit hyperlinks within Goodnotes. Pages get added and moved around and mess up the hyperlinks and we need the ability to fix them so the hyperlinks in our notebook or journal are still usable.

  4. when I'm writing in my notebooks I'm using the Cornell methode and write key words in a different colour. Adding filters to search (eg text that's only written in purple) would really come in handy when navigating through lots of pages.

  5. Hello. In notability there is a feature that I miss in GoodNotes 5. In Notability after you wrote with Apple Pencil you can change the style, line width, line style and color. In GoodNotes you can only change the color. It would be important to be able to change the thickness and style of the line as well. Thanks.

  8. I like to type down the notes. but as a Chinese, I type two languages.
    When I type English with the TimesNewRoman font, and then I want to type Chinese, it changes into the font that I don’t like automatically.
    What’s worse, when I want to type English again, it’s still using the font that i hate, this time it didn’t change automatically, I have to change the font by myself again, it’s so annoying.
    Please save the default font by typing languages.
    Please improve the experience of typing.

  9. The current flashcard study mode is just a small pop up window. Having a full screen flash card study mode would be VERY helpful in seeing smaller details.

  10. I would like the to have the ability to choose that accent colours within the GoodNotes app. I refer mainly to the blue strip at the top when viewing a document. Often, I turn my iPad onto the classic invert setting for nighttime viewing but the blue bar turns almost white when in dark or light mode on classic invert. I would like the ability to choose the colour of this blue bar.

  13. There should be a trial version so that we test the app, even for a few days.

  15. allow us to have more control over how we interact with the app. I'd like to be able to assign user selected tools or actions to gestures on screen and on the apple pencil.

  16. I love the app for studying and editing documents but I think the app is missing big features that would solidify its spot as the best note taking app in the App Store. The features that I feel would make the app 10x better: gifs, other short video replays, bigger library of stickers, different pen styles, dotted or other style lines, and more templates. Some of these are such easy add ons that it really doesn’t make sense why the developer haven’t done something about this already. Especially when countless other users have asked more these.

  18. This has been described in a few different posts and the moderators have not given satisfactory responses. We would like the ability to zoom out so we can see multiple pages within a single document.

  19. It would be great, if an imported PDF formular would still be editable. Not just with annotations but with typed text in the recommended type-in boxes

  20. Adjust the minimum magnification limit of zoom. The current situation is that many pages can be magnified at a high magnification, but they cannot zoom very little. Almost only one page of content can be displayed on the screen. It is very inconvenient when turning pages. I hope it can continue to zoom out so that multiple pages can be displayed vertically on the same screen, as shown in the figure below.
