  1. When importing a new paper template being and you are writing in the zoom text field and click enter the whole box jumps down the whole box length. So being able to select where it jumps to when pressing enter and it so it can for example jump to the next line like with the pre-installed GoodNotes templates would be very good

  2. It would be good to be able to edit and save the convert to text function so when you're searching for specific prompts later and the convert to text did not work correctly automatically you could still find words later on.

  3. Please add good notes on windows! I have a surface book and want to use good notes so bad but I can’t. It’s forcing me to use one note instead. I don’t want to buy an iPad when I have a perfectly capable tablet. Please add this to windows software!!

  4. Please bring back the toolbar from GoodNotes 4. Having the pen, eraser, colors, and undo button is so crucial for note taking. This will increase speed for those of us without Apple Pencils. Double tapping to erase just doesn’t work like this Toolbar did.

  5. Most of us can agree that a page of notes with no lines looks neater and as a result, makes notes more appealing and engaging. However, handwriting on a blank page can often lead to slanted writing which has the opposite effect. Therefore a very useful feature (I believe) would be to have a feature where if you zoom/close up on your notes page, gridlines show up, and then when you zoom out, the page returns to having a blank (no lines) background.

  6. I don't know why, but the GoodNotes app sits inside a GoodNotes folder in the Applications folder. That intermediate folder isn't necessary. Just put the App in the Applications folder.

  7. It doesn't always let me switch color when typing. If I switch to a different color in text mode, it always switches back to the previous color I used. Please fix this!!!

  8. Hi, I hope you can make a feature so that I can edit the a specific bookmark and change the page number without having to delete it.

    For example, when I use Foxit Reader (a PDF reader software), I can set bookmark at page 10, Then jump to page 30, and then 'Set this a new destination'. So that I have changed the page number of the bookmark

  9. To me, changing template for one page at a time is inconvenient. Like Notability, GoodNotes should have the opportunity to change templates for all pages in the document without having to do this manually, one page at a time. I’d like to see this added in a future update.

  10. From Notability, I miss the ability to add image text to images in my notes. When using several images/figures in my notes, I miss the ability of being able to tag these images with appropriate image text to tie them to handwritten text elsewhere in the same note. I’d much appreciate it if this feature is added in a future update.

  11. Currently there is no way to write in a straight line using unlined paper in Goodnotes. A line guide built into the Zoom box would do the job nicely. This way you would be able to write straight on unlined or blank paper and never worry about your handwriting getting too big or too small as you write on blank paper. A line guide would allow you to safely write neatly in a straight line on blank pages.

  12. Add more slots for colors. I switch between more than 3 and it’d be nice to be able to view more colors to change faster between taking notes.

  13. Bilder und Texte sollten, ohne sie kopieren und einfügen und dann das alte löschen zu müssen, auf eine neue Seite geschoben werden können. Zumindest im Vertikalmodus macht das Sinn und wäre eine Zeitersparnis.

  14. Wenn man ein Bild zuschneidet und die Größe anpasst und dieses dann kopieren und woanders einfügen will, sollte die Kopie die gleiche Größe haben und nicht eine x-beliebige. Das würde SEHR viel Zeit sparen, als jede Kopie neu auf die ungefähr gleiche Größe anzupassen.

  15. Allow me to move the paper/canvas freely so I don't have to take my hand off the glass when writing at the edge. This is only an issue in the opposite direction of the scroll. My workflow is up/down so I have limited access to the right edge because the page will rubberband back to center.

  17. At the moment, the zoom window advances when you get to the right side of the window. It would be great if there would be an option to have the advancement happen when you get to the left side of the window, for languages that are written from right to left (example: Hebrew, Arabic etc.).

  18. More custom color palette (similarly to Notability)

    It would be better if I could make a palette for a light background, and another one for a darker background

  20. When I select text to change the style/font and I choose to hide the keyboard (to see more of my notebook), I lose the selected text. Please fix the bug.
