  1. While taking notes on The professor's PowerPoints or any document I need to complete, It would be extremely useful to add a temporary grid paper to ensure that I'm writing straight. This way, my notes are organized, neat and well structured.

  2. Give us a Hex selector tool that we can use to select a color from a portion of a pre-created notebook to match the theme of the notebook. Right now we have to use an external Hex color selector and upload a picture to that program and then go back to Goodnotes to input that Hex code to get the color. Also, give us the option to create palettes that we can quickly select back and forth between colors that we have curated.

  6. Please enable handwritten fonts and assisted themes for the whole app (Like a system font), which we can choose to set, after submitting a PDF of our work as a token of thanks. We can choose from available fonts and themes on the GoodNotes website, and activate them by submitting our work as an inspiration for other or new users.

  8. I screenshot (with the lasso tool) parts of my textbook (pdf in goodnotes), but I have to screenshot and paste individually.
    I would like to screenshot (and possibly crop at the same time) and have them in a hold (like elements) and then paste them from the hold into my document. I would like it to be a temporary hold to, so an option to delete from this hold when pasted would be cool too.

  9. So often lecture slides are provided as PDFs with absolutely no room on them to make additional notes of your own...

    It would be great to have the option to convert a page to a "handout" view (i.e. like PowerPoint handout options), with either a single or multiple page slide.

    Having the option to do this at the point of import, or (additionally) to convert a page to a handout by 'editing' the page later would be awesome!

  10. Need a date field for the date I took the note. This date should be static.

    The current sort function looks at “last modified” but is easily tricked (i.e. if you move the note today, the note will move to top of date sort instead of reflecting original date).

    Alternative: just allow date sorting by both created date and last modified date.

  11. Please try and make parabolic shapes, curved lines, and other shapes to more accurately represent the path of the pencil stroke. The ones now are good, but I would like a more accurate swept line - meaning closer to the path my pencil head took, not a predefined ellipsis.

  15. is there any sort of implementation you guys are able to do that allows users to align photos that are uploaded/inserted into the app? Either snapping photos to each other or just knowing when the border of one photos is aligned to another - maybe even to the middle/center of document as well? Screenshot is attached, see blue lines for example!

  16. For example, I want to see how a sorting algorithm works but it’s hard to see the steps by making a bunch of graphs. So being able to make a small animation will help visualize how something works without having to create a bunch of pages

  18. When buying paper notebooks the most common page designs are:

    • lines
    • grid SIZE: medium
    • grid SIZE: small

    Please make a template for a small grids, as they are extremely helpful for STEM students. Could even be used by artists by using the template for their creations and later on changing the template t blank.
