  1. For teaching (math, biology), it would be great to improve the math geometry mode like this:

    line types: dotted, dashed, solid for graphs etc.

    building an circle / rectangle etc. by fixing the center / edges.
    (radius for example) and enable to draw curved lines in geometry mode.
    or at least just like notability put the edges of an rectangle in the right position

    may be an interface to geogebra.

  2. When reaching the right side of the screen you are forced to cramp your wrist in order to write on the screen properly. This messes up palm rejection and makes it uncomfortable to write.

    Apps like Procreate (I know the app serves a different purpose, but it's still a good feature) let you move the page you are working on to the side and it says there. In GoodNotes it's being auto-centerd which creates the before mentioned problems.

    It would be great to have a toggle somewhere on the screen that lets you disable the auto-centering and when you want…

  4. it would be great to be able to rotate objects without changing size or scale. For example rotating text boxes or drawings, to keep the same size but get a different angle. Thanks!

  5. It would be nice if there were a way to index all highlights and make the highlights available where one finds Thumbnails / Favorites / Outlines a way to go quickly review and find.

    It would be amazing if one could highlight in different colors and group those in the highlight index. Example: Yellow for remembering phrases, blue for additional research/follow-up, etc.

  6. Be able to hide pages. ie we have the same meeting every week and do not need to see the notes from weeks ago, but would like to easily reference them if necessary. So you could select to hide the page and not see it in the normal flow of events, but then when you go to the thumbnail view you can select "show hidden pages" to see any notes you took. Similar to how Microsoft office can hide data or text in word/excel docs.

  7. Hallo :)

    ich fände es schön, wenn man den Seitenhintergrund von mehreren Seiten gleichzeitig wechseln kann, da dies handisch sehr mühsam ist und bei mehr als 20 Seiten super lange dauert! z.B wenn man ein neues Seitenformat benötigt.

    Außerdem wäre es cool, wenn man kleine Tabellen einfügen kann.

    Freundlich Grüße

  8. Drawing on PDF files is great and I use Goodnotes all the time to move files from my Box account to the iPad and back. I would really like to be able to do the same thing for PNG files - to be able to annotate pictures with Goodnotes to/from my Box account. Most of the iPad apps that work with pictures only have access to Photos, and not to Box (and other cloud storage).

  9. Hola,
    Lo primero de todo felicitarles por la app, la tengo desde hace mas de dos años, y estoy encantado. Es más me la han visto muchos clientes y la han comprado por la buena que es. Mi pregunta es, tenéis pensado implementar la grabación de audio mientras que se toma notas, sería muy práctica para después repasar las reuniones.

    Gracias de nuevo

  11. Add an undo function that allows a template change to be undone. I’ve lost lecture note slides when trying to change the template of a blank page inserted between the slides.

  13. You can copy an object to the clipboard or a toolbox. The clipboard would function as normal but the toolbox would allow for multiple objects to be pasted into the document without needing to re-copy. Would be helpful for repeated objects like graphing coordinate systems. Example workflow: select objects as normal using lasso, select “copy to toolbox” instead of copy. Select the toolbox icon from the menu in which a drop down list of objects is visible. Select and hold the object and drag into notebook.

  16. I would like to be able to change the color of pre-written text faster and more precisely than the lasso tool allows. This could be done by letting the user drag their highlighter over the text they want to change, then by changing the color of the selected pen marks to a new color (without creating highlighter marks on top).

  18. I read books in PDF. The editorial margins are usually decided for print publication. I would like the ability to increase the page size to have more space to take notes.

  20. I text a lot and I also like to keep the color tone of my notes but the app doesn’t have the feature to add the color to presets for the text function. It also could be more convenient if there’s the color picker tool so I can keep the tone of my notes whenever I text or write. Lastly, I notice that the hex code of the color is ALWAYS #FFEEFF. As I said before, GoodNotes doesn’t have feature of setting text color to presets so I intent to remember the hex code instead but it’s still FFEEFF... I…
