  1. I often find that I need to resize a shape I have already drawn and when I erase a portion of the shape and redraw it, the app treats the change as a new shape instead of as an update to an existing shape which results in lines not matching up between the unerased portin of the shape and the new portion. I have attached a pdf that shows the problem.

  2. Create a sliding bar to adjust the strength of the line smoothness to personal preference - from
    Really strong to none.

    This will be helpful for those who don’t have a steady hand, and also for creating illustration doodles, lettering and neater handwriting.

  3. Pen, pencil, marker etc, the basics, have a look at the apple notes, it provides the basics plus a ruler for drawing functions/graphs, tables. I Just purchased this app and pissed off/disappointed to be honest. One may ask why do we even need markers or a pencil when it’s digitalised notes.... well user experience!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  4. I would like to see less restrictions with the resizing option of notes/pictures in the app. Firstly, all eight of the resizing nodes behave in the exact same way (with the selected item being resized with the same aspect ratio from the exact center). I think this needs to be swapped out for the ability to distort the image along the x- and y-axis with the appropriate nodes, while keeping the ability to scale it proportionally using the corner nodes. Secondly, I think that the sizing should only occur from the selected node — i.e. not from the center, ever…

  5. I’d like to be able to enter math equations in text with special characters like in Microsoft word. With special characters and symbols. I use good notes for engineering.If you look a word, it has equation, and symbols, subscripts and super scripts. That would be great.

  13. I will be more likely to use GoodNotes if I can import my IOS notes all at once, (I would not take the time to copy and paste one by one, it would take too long). Is there any way to do this?

  14. We are already able to copy an image to clipboard with the lasso tool.
    Would be great if we could insert that image later again.
    At the moment we need to safe it to photos and insert it from there, which can quickly mess up our photos.

  19. I would love this app even more if there are more brush styles and color feature because it's difficult to enter code # or multiple choosing color without entering code. And also more themes , voice recording, and catagories
