  2. In previous version my battery was draining and fetching heating issue while using GoodNotes. Then I got updated version telling that it will be resolved. But for me it hasn’t been resolved yet.

  5. Google Docs has options to change the presets for each section (title, header, body, etc.)

    We use different fonts and sizes (sometimes colors) for each part of our notes, so adding this feature may be beneficial!

    Text Styles may also be the correct verbiage

  6. It would be great to have a feature that allows users to have manual control over which documents are to be downloaded onto the device and which are to remain in the iCloud (assuming that iCloud Sync is already enabled), just like some cloud storage services like OneDrive. For users in the possession of multiple gigabytes of documents or some storage-intensive documents like numerous scanned PDFs, an on-demand downloading feature would be a great help to save disk space on their devices.

  7. I hope when I switch to the other pages, the state of the pencil of my previous page is changeless. For example, the color of the pencil of my previous page is red. When I use other pages, I change the color of the pencil as blue. I hope when I switch to my previous page, the color of the pencil is still red instead of blue. Others tools like eraser and highlight are in way.Thank you!

  8. Add an option to show starred folders at the top.
    Use case: I have a folder for every class at university in the root folder and star classes that I attend at the current semester.
    Having a single sub-folder for every semester is not an option for me, because some classes span multiple semesters and often I need quick access to old classes and dont want to click every sub-folder to search for the correct folder.

  9. I love reading and studying on goodnotes but the only downside is while reading is immersive thanks to full screen. Writing introduces an unnecessary number of button clicks to start writing, and distracts from the material

    If there was a Focus Mode, which was full screen and only allowed writing in one stroke type and erasing using the Apple Pencil. That would drastically improve my focus and ability to study.

  10. I want to be able to use the scroll indicator on the right of the page to quickly scroll through the document, rather than using the galley feature.

  12. When you you have a note open, clicking on its name disclosure arrow reveals where it is in the folder hierarchy. It would be great if one could click on one of those folders, and go there (just as one does in OS X). It would save a lot step-by-step navigation, particularly if all you want to do is (also) open another note in the same folder.

  13. Make the pen sizes a lot larger so we can fill something in faster or draw larger text epically for note book covers, titles, etc.

  16. Sometimes when you use the same hexcode the colours between the pen and highlighter don't match, I then end up messing around with colours until the match better, would love if the highlighter matched more :)

  17. We need faster accelerated scrolling like Apple Notes, Margin Note or even the default PDF viewer app in the Files app. The scrolling speed of files in GoodNotes feels like my pages are stuck in mud, requiring me to use multiple long swipe gestures across the iPad to scroll down/up faster and reach my desired location. I noticed that multiple swipes also doesn't 'accelerate' the speed, which isn't an issue on other apps that I mentioned above or Apple native apps like Notes and Safari. Please implement this. Thanks.

  18. I suggest a more customizable range of template colors, that can also be used to replace preexisting backgrounds on imported PDFs.
    I also think it would be a good idea to be able to customize the color theme of the entire app.

  19. I really wish they would add to their text options a stroke/outline. This would be especially helpful for headings. You can duplicate writing, change the colour and size but trying to line it up never gives a perfect outline.

  20. Allow for the length of the highlighter shape to be resized in length only. If I were to create a highlight line that is a bit too long or short, I do not want to also resize the height of the shape.

    This would be better than having to redraw the line.
