  3. With the new feature of editing shapes (specifically rectangles idk abt the other ones), when i attempt scroll up or down to a different page in my notebook it moves the rectangle around the page instead of scrolling the paper. Perhaps instead the shape-editing feature you added would toggle when u grabbed only the shape with the lasso tool; I feel that would be much better, and follow intuitively for users as well.

  4. Often, I want to rotate an object but want to it stay the same size. It would be nice to lock the size when rotating. A similar function to lock rotation when resizing would also be very nice.

    • When I want to Ctrl+f a document, I always need to do Ctrl+f and then click on the search window with the mouse, would be easier when I could Ctrl+f and then immediately start typing (like in all other applications)
    • Same thing happens when I change font size, when typing. I am always thrown out of the current window and have to open an other one.

  10. I use iPad 8th generation and the screen is small. So, when I use split screen with half side covering my book and other half with GoodNotes, the panel with colors and fonts disappear. So, I have to click on it again and again to change the colour.
    It would be very helpful if there is a flying toggle with my colour options that I can shift here and there on my screen according to my convenience.
    Also it will save me time of going to the top bar every time I need to change colours. It would also be…

  12. I wish the highlighters appeared more vibrant and neon on white paper. When I select a really neon highlighter, I usually have to double the highlight to get the desired brightness.

  13. It would be great to have the option to autodeselect the highlighter and lasso tool like it is with the eraser. Would make note taking a lot faster!

  14. You should add a feature that enables people to add a definition to words they highlight. When reading over your notes, you can then tap on that highlighted word and the definition will pop up.

  16. Trello etc are great for collaboration, tracking etc. In Trello I can add typed notes and see into linked Dropbox folders. Is it possible for GoodNotes to work with Trello and link named notes to Trello cards?

  17. Dear Sir or Madam,

    I really enjoy goodnotes, especially to study.
    But there're things that would make it much more enjoyable.
    As an engineering student I write a lot of formulas, so I was wondering how nice it would be, if goodnotes would recognize my written formulas and change them into good-looking formulas.

    The other thing that would be nice, would be a flying or placeable color palette (maybe it flies near to the pencil or to a place where the user puts it)

    I hope my wishes finds you well. :)

    Kind regards

    Dominik Müller

  18. A lot of helpful diagrams are from imported from my photos, having the ability to search words that appear on a photo would be helpful. It really sucks having to go through every single folder and picture just to try and find the one I am looking for.

  19. Hope to add the function of global handwritten to text and the function of text box content splitting at will.
    Global handwriting to text: because writing is not as good-looking as standard font, you want to add global handwriting to handwriting. That is, select the pen column to add a function. When this function is turned on, all handwriting will be converted to standard font by default, and the font size is equal to that of handwriting.
    Text box random split function: because some text is obtained by OCR, after entering the text box, the whole text box is a…
