  1. Erasing within a circles erases the circle itself. The tools should not do this and should be working like it does within other shapes.

  2. Ich wünsche mir eine Option Dokumente mit Face ID oder mit dem Fingerabdruck schützen zu können. Somit könnte man private Papiere schützen vor unbefugtem Zugriff zb in der Schule oder Uni.

  5. I love the feature that if you draw a freehand line and keep your pen on the screen then it snaps to a straight line. But sometimes I draw/write something complicated and leave the pen down too long by mistake. I then have to erase and start again. It would be nice to be able to undo the snapping to a straight line and return to whatever I originally drew rather than return to before I started drawing.

  6. We Need a lineal function to mess some kind of stuff on our pages. Would be really nice for Students in Math to have the exact measure data.

    Please add this in the near Future.

  8. In windows like for exporting, the button to execute the final step ("Export" in this case) is blue, like the Apple pop-up windows. This suggests hitting the return key should work like pressing that button with the cursor like with Apple pop-ups, but this is not the case. Seems like a simple fix that would just make users' lives a little easier.

  9. Many GoodNotes users want to share documents with people who do not have the app, so it would be incredible if you added the option to share through a link so that anyone from any browser can view it and download it in pdf format, and that when we are modifying the file the other person reload the page and the changes made will appear.

  10. My professors sometimes provide us with scans of documents to read. I like to annotate as I read. However because these can be scans with black edges from scanning, it is really hard to find a color that will show through. If I was able to put an opaque shape behind my text to make it easily viewable, that would be awesome. The current fill only allows for a see though fill and it doesn’t help at all. I also can’t chose white because it would not show on the white spaces and I don’t want to be changing pen…

  14. Es wäre super, wenn man in Goodnotes Links einfügen könnte und diese dann auch mit dem Hyperlink verbunden wären. Gerade bei Zusammenfassungen könnte man so die Quelle verlinken.

  15. Make a function like a text bubble in PDF expert.
    Very useful on powerpoints where there is no place to write on top off the slides.

  16. Ink to maths would be perfect, notability has added the feature via my script and it will be excellent if good notes could do the same

  17. In my opinion it would be amazing if the highlighter aways automatically went under the pen, so it would work better with lighter pen colors and dark templates. The highlighter works good with black pen and it doesn't make it opaque or something, but I makes lighter pens murky. Maybe there could be an option in the highlighter settings to change wether the highlighter goes on top or bottom.

  18. I wish goodnotes can support fast slide switching between pages rather than the normal continuous scrolling to change page.

    The sliding bar can be horizontal or vertical, depend on what setting we set in the scrolling direction in the setting.

    The feel on this sliding feature will be more like how to flip on the book to find the page we are looking for. This feature would definately improve and speed up working with the app.

    I have attach the video to show what I mean in sliding between pages.

  19. Add schedule that can link my document to certain days like for example in Sunday I want to review my pharmacology notes and to complete another note, when I tap on the name of the note that is written on the schedule it takes me directly to the note page.

  20. The Lasso Tool should be integrated into the Zoom Window. I believe this feature would be useful to many others who are accustomed to using the Zoom Window for normal writing. It's tedious to have to exit the window just to move objects around, change the color, or other common tasks using the lasso. Being able to utilize the lasso without having to exit the Zoom Window every time would just increase ease of use.

    Thanks!
