  1. I like to use the draw and hold feature since it's more convenient than switching between the tools, but it would be great if the stroke thickness wouldn't change to the default setting.

  2. Sometimes I accidentally close a tab while I’m changing tools. Not a big deal, but it can be avoided by changing “x button” location.
    + We definitely need more painting tools.

  3. this and other features like audio recording in sync with notes, proper smooth scrolling that doesn't have a mind of its own, ability to change the size of eraser, are what makes notability better

    the only difference is that notability makes my writing uglier. it looks better in goodnotes but as far as user experience goes, notability is way better and keep in mind i got it for free ages ago and i had to pay for good notes

    you guys are intelligent and capable and i'm sure you'll manage to add these features in the near future

    godspeed

  5. Hi, for pdf readers like Xodo, a feature that allows us to automatically trim off the white edge of certain documents is great for zooming in and focusing on the content.

    Could you please add such a feature that turns any documents/textbooks into a tablet friendly version?

    Cheers

  7. Please add the auto-advance feature on the Mac app too, because it is quite useful but available only on GoodNotes 5 for iOS.

  9. I loved WunderList and used it extensively to keep track of all the things I needed to do - until Microsoft ruined it. I have since reverted to using the Apple Reminders app. It is ok, but nothing like WunderList. It would be very nice for GoodNotes to have something similar to WunderList, whereby when you have a listed item then you complete it by checking a box, the item disappears. If you want to go back and look at what was completed or you completed something by accident, you can look at all the items on the checklist.

  10. Please add automatic recognition and framing of structures which have already been in a PDF, so we can be able to shift, edit, cut texts and pictures as in PDFelement PRO

  11. I'd like a Zoom-In feature on the MacOS app, so I can use 3rd party stylus pads (like Wacom) with the laptop for note taking.

  12. I like to write my notes in Landscape mode so I have more room side-side to write, but I like to look over my notes in Portrait mode so I can see the whole page.

    I have the Landscape Zoom to 100%, page fully covering the screen side to side. When I rotate to Portrait mode the zoom stays, and I have to zoom out to see the whole page, zoom back in when I turn to Landscape, in and out, etc. etc.

    It would be an awesome feature, and would help a lot!

  13. In the multi-page view of a document, the buttons on the top left and top right are "Close" and "Select", respectively. When we press "Select", the buttons on the top left and top right become "Select All" and "Done", respectively. Please swap the positions of the latter buttons so that we can press "Done" and "Close" in quick succession when we try to leave this view.

  17. Allows for paper to be coloured to help people with disabilities and to reduce eye strain, sort of like a wheel of colours to choose when making a sheet of paper

  18. It would be amazing if there was a setting where I could default a font and as I start handwriting out notes, it automatically starts to change the words to text, sort of like iPads new "scribble" feature.

  19. Add presentation mode (like microsoft powerpoint) and still be able to annotate on the notes being presented. There is the ability to hide the tool bar, but when the tool bar is hidden, there is no possibility to continue to write on the notes. A way to hide the tool bar and still be able to annotate or use the laser pointer would be nice.

  20. Currently enabling or disabling auto advance requires 4 'clicks': 1. the 'three dots' menu button 2. document editing 3. enabling/disabling auto advance 4. closing the menu window.

    As someone who frequently switches between marking up documents (where I don't use auto advance) and my own notebooks (where I do use auto advance), it can be annoying to have to go through this process tens of times per day.

    It would be nice if there was a shortcut, or if one could optionally pin the auto advance option to the toolbar.

    Cheers!
