  5. Similar to uploading new brushes, making the ability to add palettes. I want to be able to choose stickers and a palette of colors I've made. They do this in Procreate and I love it.

  6. Being able to customize other colors other than blue. Also add wallpaper to the background UI would be great.

  7. I use both Goodnotes and Obsidian on my iPad and would love the ability to hyperlink text, images, objects and handwriting to a file in Obsidian. I know we can hyperlink to other notes in GN or websites but there doesn’t seem to be a way to connect to any of my Obsidian files.

  8. I think the idea of implementing a set of custom pens for each notebook or page would be very useful.

    I often jump between different notebooks and each book might have different pen colours and sizes. However, as the pen presets are global, I have to continually change pen attributes.

    So, for example, I might be brainstorming with an A1 page or the infinitely canvas when it’s rolled out ;-) and an A4 page. Although there are three user presets they are the same for all notebooks (global) and I still need to constantly change them (size & colour).

    If…

  9. When adjusting a long text box the handles can disappear when they go beyond the page. If you can make anything that enters this canvas area visible then you can see and adjust the text box handles. Failing that, it would be very helpful if the handles adjusted so that they were always visible on the page, rather than being fixed to the centre of the box.

  10. The area surrounding the page could be used to show anything that’s beyond the page itself. So, if I wanted to move some text or an object to that area for reference etc then it’s viewable (but not printable as it’s outside the page). Other apps implement this well like Photoshop.

  11. Right now, the app doesn't run well, isn't integrated with S Pens (the button can't be binded), and it just doesn't feel enjoyable to write on.
    Writing this from an S9 FE.

    I think letting it run natively (instead of currently through basically a well hidden browser) and then sync in the background would improve things from the user standpoint.

  12. Bitte baut eine Option ein, bei der man nicht nur die Richtigkeit der Karteikarten mit Ja oder Nein beantworten kann, sondern in einer Art Skala (Das klappt sehr gut, weniger gut,…). Dies würde die Wiederholung der Karten verbessern. Oft ist eine Antwort ja nicht komplett falsch, andere dafür schon. Eine Differenzierung gibt es dabei aktuell nicht.

  14. I have prepared content on slides for class that I want to keep hidden and then reveal step by step (re-imported as PDF). The current tape feature is not suitable for this purpose because it adds a shade that looks ugly and is hard to delete. Please either provide a feature that allows parts of a slide to be hidden and shown, ideally in freeform, or shapes with opaque background, or, as a minimal solution, add an option for shade-free tape so that if I set the tape colour to match the background, it becomes invisible.

  18. Full page typing should be used on Windows aka Goodnotes Web because most windows users are on their PC/laptop. Only allowing full page typing on IOS makes sense for Apple users but what about Windows users

  19. I would like to see a feature that allows me to select some or all button to make certain actions with my notebooks or folders. I have the android/web version of goodnotes and I have to click every single document to export, move, or trash.

  20. In GoodNotes 6, whenever I use the text tool with my chosen default font, the app resets back to the system default after pressing Enter. This makes it impossible to work efficiently, especially when using dictation.

    I have already set my default font both in Settings and in the text box style, but GoodNotes keeps ignoring it. I want to use dictation to quickly capture notes directly on the page, but I can’t because the font I applied as “default” doesn’t stick at all.

    This bug kills productivity and ruins the typing experience. Please fix it immediately, or give us…
