  1. First of all, I wanted to propose an improvement to the pencil, asking for more types of strokes like a real pencil. A good example is the apple notes, which are very realistic and good. Improve compatibility with Apple Pencil, being able to tilt it and make it thicker, the example is the same as the previous one.
    Secondly, I wanted to propose a new tool that can insert links into a note that takes us directly to the browser.
    I also wanted to propose that they join the Apple Files app, so you can open them directly from there.…

  2. For example, tapping the pen icon will open the pen menu. Tapping that icon again does not close the menu, but it should.

  3. It would be great if you could disable the automatic synchronization feature for a certain selected file. Thereby, huge files can be stored only on the device that has enough storage.

  4. When printing notes that have dark mode/background/template

    I would like to print this on dark printing paper,

    Therefore Goodnotes would only need to print for the handwriting ink/text or pictures and not waste printer ink on creating a dark background ( since the printer paper is already black).

  6. The latest edition of Goodnote has cancelled the brushstrokes. It is really disturbing. Please return the tip of a writing brush or we have no choice but to use other app which can provide the brushstokes function. Please!!!

  7. Hello, there is a bug in version for the MacOs: 10.15.4.

    I am not able to undo anything, unless I add a textbook in the notes. That is, if I start to draw, then neither command + Z, not undo option in "Edit" do anything. If I put a text block on a page, then undo becomes available.

  8. Please give us an option to choose dark/black color for the blue bar on the top! Or just make the blue bar black in a dark mode theme! It will look better that way!

  9. For the presentation mode, add invisibility for the following tools: the lasso dotted lines, the eraser area, notes and ink. For example, objects may be selected and moved without the audience seeing the dotted lines of the lasso tool. Or a fill in the blank page can be shown without the audience seeing the answers.

  10. Simplify the "delete page" feature by adding it to the More menu. This would make the deletion process much quicker, logical (and easier to remember).

  11. I would love it if I could see the previous and the current page at the same time, as in a notebook, only better :)
    In split view mode I can open two GoodNotes windows, and that’s wonderful, but I would love if I could work on the same document’s two pages and an extra window. Thank you for listening, I’m looking forward to seeing and using it!

  12. Currently, the shape tools in GoodNotes 5 is supported to “draw into shapes”. However, it will be easier to draw some complex shapes (especially coordinate system) by the shape function (with built-in shapes) in OneNote, which is shown in the video in the attachment. This function can also help users to draw shapes more precisely.

  13. Having a way to select the entire screen quickly could be useful if you need to copy everything, change the colo(u)r and delete.

  14. When you lasso something, and then tap to get the options, sometimes the tap shoves the lasso'd material along a little bit. UNDO puts it back exactly where it was but, at the moment, also drops the lasso. It would be great if the lasso remained (and the options, of course) so you don't have to try it again (and again...) to tap without shoving.

  17. Thanks for this amazing search tool! There is only one problem: When I am searching within a particular PDF document, I find it a little clumsy because the window that opens containing the findings is so small. Furthermore, when I go to one of the pages found, the window disappears. But mostly I need to open a few other pages found which is quite complicated because I have to search again, remember which pages I have already opened etc. I would need the findings as a list or something, probably even in a new tab, which you can directly export…

  18. (This is not about adding a calligraphy pen itself.)
    I suggest adding a calligraphy mode, that similar to the app Over lets you type something and convert it to a nice style.
    This makes it possible to create good-looking headers easily without having to be a pro.

  19. When selecting text or highlight lines and changing the colours, only the pen color presets are available. It would be great if there was a tab to switch to the highlighter color presets.
