  1. I’ve been using notesplus and it has the option of drawing a circle instead of going to the toolbar to select the laso/lazo. If there’s no intention of moving the content rounded, it automatically becomes the circle you have drawn.

  2. Allow to create a hierarchy of bleeding in the schematics of documents, as in imported pdfs.

  3. App is almost perfect! Would love the ability to choose which functions appear in the phone version due to the limited real estate... like pen, shape & camera all next to each other... thanks!

  4. It would be very helpful for a lot of people with bad handwritings if the handwriting to text feature is improved further as a input mean with the support for input on another same as handwritten notes are input now.

  5. When using the shape tool, make it so that when the line is relatively close to horizontal, make it snap into perfectly horizontal. Underlining pdf's is hard when all the straight lines are slightly slanted. I think this worked until the update 3 days ago. Thanks.

  6. Sehr geehrtes GoodNotes-Team,
    Erstmal ein Riesen großes Dankeschön- mir als Medizinstudentin erleichtert Ihre App auf meinem IpadPro 12.9 (Version 2020) wirklich das Leben !
    Eine ganz große Bitte habe ich allerdings an Sie. Es wäre wirklich sehr sehr viel effizienter und übersichtlicher für mich als Nutzerin, wenn es möglich wäre PDF-Dateien so zu importieren, dass mehrere Seiten auf einer Seite zu sehen sind. Wenn ich alles nur als eine Seite in GoodNotes importiere ist das sehr schnell sehr unübersichtlich und außerdem weniger praktisch bezüglich der Zeichentools!
    Leider muss ich derzeit jede Vorlesung erst auf meinem Computer mit dem Print-to-PDF-Tool vorbereiten,…

  8. It needs notification time review and no need to change when I study it three times a day.
    The button study again like a counter without any conditions.

  9. When copying and pasting with the Lasso tool, we are given the option to resize and rotate, but we are NOT given the option to mirror the image, that is, reflecting it with respect to the vertical axis. That would be a useful improvement, in my opinion.

    For example, to draw a face it would be enough to draw the right eye, half a nose and half a mouth, then mirror it.

  10. The BOOK of PDF version has cover and table of contents, which will lead to the inconsistency between the page number displayed in the software in the bottom right corner and the page number in the book catalog, which will cause great inconvenience to turn the book, so there should be the function of custom page number to customize the first page

  12. In presenting mode, rather than showing the full page or what the presenter page, can you introduce a feature that allows just one area of the page to be locked in the presentation so that I can write on this section and isolate it from the rest of the page while allowing me to read on/work ahead while my students read through what is on the board.

  13. I really want goodnotes to ask before closing any tab for more convenient such as "Are you sure you want to close 123.pdf ?". I usually open multiple tabs and I accidentally close some tab that I don't know. (I know that I can find the recent tabs I've opened.) Sometimes I close wrong tab too. Thank you for reading my opinion in advance.

  14. Could you please add a search function into the trash area so we can search trashed notebooks - we search using job numbers so this would be very handy in this area as well.

  15. We use good notes to draw dimensions onto house plans as a site measure. Since the new update our lines straighten but remain at an angle - This is nice however we would like to be able to have the option to enable parallel snapping so when a line is drawn slight off 90degrees it straightens up to 90 degrees or 180degrees this makes drawing dimension annotation very fast - at the moment we need to straight the lines by editing the node for every line which is slow and frustrating.

  16. The ability to save custom text box styles and easily access them (using the text style icon) so that they can be re-used rather than changing the default each time.

    It would be great to use when trying to type out different styles of notes such as for headers or key notes. Take for example creating agenda week headers using pretty fonts and fun colours vs text boxes to note key points during a lecture that must be done quickly and can easily be read. In this example, it would be valuable to be able to quickly switch between different…

  18. It would be great to have a better PDF navigator like PDF Expert does. The basic functions would be:
    - link support (also link within a document like the ones a LaTeX document produces.
    - double pages viewing.
    - possibility to show the table of content

  19. Whenever i type a text i usually have some words in bold. And if i then go ahead and change the size of the entire typed text all of it turns bold and then i need to figure out again which words i had bold and which weren‘t. That is really annoying.

  20. A way where one could zoom out of the pages, so you could see all of your pages in that file. Like in Word/Pages.
