  1. As a developer I would love to have the ability to use markdown on the Mac app for more natural writing flow. And perhaps some more natural Mac feeling when editing files. Like the use of keyboard shortcuts for deselecting a text box (eg. esc)

  2. Add presentation mode (like microsoft powerpoint) and still be able to annotate on the notes being presented. There is the ability to hide the tool bar, but when the tool bar is hidden, there is no possibility to continue to write on the notes. A way to hide the tool bar and still be able to annotate or use the laser pointer would be nice.

  3. I use more than 3 colors in my notes, so I constant have to switch which ones are selected in the tool bar. I’d like to have at least 5 different colors available in the tool bar without having to click one and change it, then change it back once I need another color.

  4. I would love to have the option to have a "magnetic grid" used in combination with a geometric form tool to draw some lines that start exactly at the corners of the grid.

  5. I usually use GoodNote to take note from lecture and 80% of the time, the palm rejection did a good job. However, once in a while, the palm rejection will fail and it accepts the input from my resting fingers, which cause the unwanted zoom-in/zoom-out or movement of the page. This situation is very annoying because I have to adjust back to the original size and position of the page and keep writing. Sometimes this happen when I am still taking the note, and it really stop me from focusing the content on the lecture. I personally don't like my…

  10. I was blown away when I learned about a feature in the app Inkflow. The name of the feature that I'm referring to is Inkport. Check out this video to see why I think this feature would be incredibly useful in GoodNotes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAd23h9RQeU

    This feature would be amazing for note-taking and getting assignments done.
    Imagine that students are given a handout in class with questions that they need to answer. However, the problem is that it's impossible to write the answers next to the question because there is very little space given in the handout. This obligates students to either…

  11. I like how the patch tool works in Photoshop, and I think it would be useful in GoodNotes too. I would use it to edit diagrams and remove parts, such as labels, that I do not want. Here is an example of how the patch tool works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=II4lfxoNrJ8
    Even though the patch tool is commonly used to edit photographs, it can definitely be used for editing illustrations too. I have used the patch tool in Photoshop before, and I started seeing the need for it again as I was trying to prepare diagrams for GoodNotes. I feel that it would…

  12. Hey,
    It would be awesome if one could use the collaborate feature without backing up all my other files to iCloud Drive.
    My iCloud is way to small for all my files and they are already backed up to OneDrive.
    Thx

  13. I have a professional app that allow user to create a virtual desktop on whatever thematic. Inside you can bookmark all the file, page, folder related to that thematic. I find that very pratical.
    It would be great that Goodnotes develops this. For example we could create a desktop for "Gardening" where I could link all the documents already in Goodnotes, relating to gardening, it could be a whole file, a folder, a bookmark.
    Then I could create a desktop, "Current homework" with all my current work, like a temporary desktop.
    It's very interesting because you don't have anymore to…

  14. When converting handwriting to text, it maintains what is written on each line but not the text size. It would be a great feature if the text size was maintain.

  16. Have a pen or an ink that only shows on the iPad, and not on a presentation screen. This would allow presenters to annotate their presentations without the audience seeing the notes. It would be useful for fill in the blanks, presenter notes and comments. A presenter could even "pre-draw" a picture, which could then be redrawn live.
