  1. Having to import raster images is a pain - and for some reason even lower res images can make a page become laggy.

  2. Please allow custom colour palettes for text. AND the ability to have mixed colours in a single text block. At the moment if you change the colour of part of a text block, the UI changes the WHOLE block.

  6. I don’t know whether this is possible, but I think it would be great if one could add/link a document into a notebook.
    But not in the way that you would have to get through the pages but for example, you‘d see the icon of the document or document folder on the page in your notebook and when you click on it, the linked document would open up.
    This would be especially great for word documents, since I sometimes write something into a notebook but I don’t like the text box option. Having the option to link the document, I…

  7. I do a lot of practice problems and it is a little annoying to force scroll up to add a new page while other apps automatically add up a new page as I'm approaching the end of my current page.
    So I would love if there was an option to eliminate the gap between pages so that it looks like an infinite and unbroken canvas while pages are being added automatically as soon as the app senses that I'm approaching the end of my current page.

  8. I have a music notebook and you already have staff paper for transcriptions in music notation. I like that a lot. I have some other apps like iGigBook and Musicnotes which accept commands from a Bluetooth page turner. It has two pedal switches; one for forward navigation, and the other for reverse navigation of a multi page score of music. I can play hands free without the need for a human page turner. Or having to stop at every page boundary to tap the screen for the next page. Can you please add this functionality? Thank you, and good work…

  10. A web version or PC version of the app would make it 10x better as someone who got an iPad for drawing medical figures in school but still uses a PC.

  11. I'd like to use those gestures when editing images, elements and shapes.
    Those gestures are such a fundamental part of iOS/iPadOS that it feels strange when I constantly try to use them but they don’t work in GoodNotes.
    Especially since other gestures like a three-finger pinch to copy are supported.

  12. Elements tool:
    Tapping its icon in the toolbar will show a popover which is anchored to the icon in the tool bar.
    Tapping anywhere on the page will show a popover that is anchored to the tapped spot on the page. No blue placeholder symbol indicating that an element will be placed there.

    Image tool:
    Tapping its icon in the toolbar will show a blue placeholder symbol in the middle of the screen and a popover which is anchored to it.
    Tapping anywhere on the page will show a blue placeholder at the tapped spot and a popover that is…

  13. This applies mainly to the situation when I am using an Apple Pencil.
    Let’s say I want to resize and reposition an object (image, shape or element).
    Right now, when a tool like the pen or the marker is selected, I have to tap and hold the object with my finger to bring up the edit menu. Then I have to select "Edit" to select the object and make it editable.
    Or I have to switch to the image, shape or element tool in the toolbar. Then I can tap the object with my pencil (or finger) to resize it…

  14. Editing text in text fields should work the way it does in Pages or Word because that’s what people are used to. It’s confusing that GoodNotes has a different way of handling this and it throws me off every time I’m working with text fields.
    In Pages and Word, clicking a text field once selects it. Then you can click it again to get the cursor to appear so that you can start typing. To deselect the text field, you just click anywhere else in the page.
    However, in GoodNotes, after clicking a text field once to select it, clicking…

  15. the function of cut, copy, delete etc when selecting text,images and such are so far given in a horizontal manner.
    I would like to suggest to switch the display of the options to a list, instead of a long horizontal pop up.

    even after so much use of the app, it’s not intuitive to my eyes, and if by chance more users would feel the same, it might make the UX more smooth , thanks in advance ;)

  16. Please add the ability to edit keyboard shortcuts. I have a very specific setup and being able to assign keys where I want them is a very important factor in workflow.

    I am glad there is keyboard support at all, but I can't imagine this is beyond the ability of your staff to add.

  17. There should a feature which allows to add definitions to words. If you tap a word you can write up a definition for it and upon tapping on it later you can see what it means. Like flash cards built into your writing.

  18. When I use goodnote to note my unknown words in a GRE practice, I need to copy the words for Third-party dictionary and note the definition in zoom view, but in zoomed window I can't copy.

  19. As safari shows all the opened tabs in a grid view.

    Need grid view of all the opened documents.

    Thus it becomes very easy to navigate between multiple tabs of opened documents.
