  1. Please add an option to modify imported documents. It would be really helpful if we could edit documents that we import directly, for example change the text.
    Could allow you to fix typos or expand upon what someone else has written in their documents. Or be able to add more space in between the text to write your own text, take notes on the text you imported or add images between the text.
    Another example: if you import an questions sheet it would allow you to add extra space between two questions to show your working right under the question…

  2. I Struggle a lot with my handwriting and while it’s still legible it’s not always astethic so I would greatly appreciate a feature in which as you write it gets converted to text as you go (you can switch this off in your settings). The most important part is to change the text font, I would love fonts made to look like still handwritten notes. I would also love to be able to change the text font and even download font that many people have put up that looks like writing. This would allow me to still maintain retention and…

  4. I want to create templates for GoodNotes that have definable areas I can write in. If my template has a bounding box, I should be able to define the box’s borders and not allow handwriting outside that bounding box. It’s the difference between actual templates and just applying an image or pdf as a background

  5. As my notes expand to hundreds of pages, I think that having a reverse page view would be helpful to find the latest note without scrolling much.

  6. You should add the possibility to view files’ and folders’ sizes in the goodnotes app. Also, you could add pages counter to see the total amount of pages in a certain notebook and which page we’re viewing (page 15/20). Also, you could add the possibility of viewing on the home page the total amount of notebooks in the app.

  7. I love using this app to make my notes, i usually use the text box to write fast on a lecture
    I think adding better shortcuts to the text box option may help to be more efficient while writting on class.
    Thank you!!

  8. It would be very helpful to be able to import custom SVG stencil and shapes. Also the ability to store said Stencil's and shapes in a user defined Library.

  9. When using the up and down keys on the magic keyboard for the iPad Pro, scrolling in Good Notes 5 has no smooth animation, but harsh stops. In Safari the scrolling animation is really smooth, and gives a more convenient experience when reading long documents.

  10. When adding a new document (PDF) to Goodnotes, it would great to check if the document is not already in the library (Apple Books does that already).

  11. This feature is very limited and has become a nuisance as I write my notes. Notes and Nobility have this feature. Hopefully, this can be incorporated into the next update because this app is my go-to for schoolwork.

  12. I’m a new user, so this might be a clarification request rather than a feature request, but I’m doing something that makes the tool switch randomly from pen to eraser. Is there a setting somewhere I can change to make it stop doing this? If I want the eraser I’ll pick the eraser.

  13. Also, making the highlighters brighter in dark paper? Like making it stay like when you are applying it? Or a bigger pen instead, to use that.

  14. change the mouse cursor when the highligher is activated. When the highlighter is yellow, i can barely see it on the screen. Please change it to something more noticeable.

  15. For adjusting what should be selected with the lasso tool you always have to open a dropdown menu. This could be done with the property menu on the right. That would be faster and you would see directly, what the lasso tool is going to select before using it.

  19. First of all, i'm not good at English.

    When I enlarge my handwriting, it also get bolder.
    I want to make it only bigger, not bolder.

    My suggestion is to change the boldness? of my handwriting (like notability)

  20. I have recently begun using the desktop version a lot more since my 4-year-old has effectively stolen my iPad. I love that I can use the app seamlessly between my devices. However, I have noticed that it is difficult for me, especially when using two windows of GoodNotes, to maintain a natural reading experience. I'm trying to take notes while reading a PDF imported to GoodNotes on the left and have my note-taking notebook open in a window on the right.

    I would love a tool that allowed users to place their cursor within the text of a document and…
