  1. Enable Apple gestures (think Procreate). Having a fixed toolbar (which doesn’t always respond to Apple Pencil 2 on iPad Pro!) is poor UI design for iPad users.

  2. Please allow page naming. In larger documents it’s so hard to navigate and the outline feature is useless because it can’t be re-ordered. The only way I currently know of is to export to Acrobat, re-order the pages and bring back into Goodnotes but then any annotations are flattened and text becomes uneditable.

  4. I don’t know whether this is possible, but I think it would be great if one could add/link a document into a notebook.
    But not in the way that you would have to get through the pages but for example, you‘d see the icon of the document or document folder on the page in your notebook and when you click on it, the linked document would open up.
    This would be especially great for word documents, since I sometimes write something into a notebook but I don’t like the text box option. Having the option to link the document, I…

  5. When I zoom in and add sticker, it will go out of the screen and create in the middle of the page, so every time I have to zoom out and adjust the scale and position of it. It’s quite annoying.

  9. Elements tool:
    Tapping its icon in the toolbar will show a popover which is anchored to the icon in the tool bar.
    Tapping anywhere on the page will show a popover that is anchored to the tapped spot on the page. No blue placeholder symbol indicating that an element will be placed there.

    Image tool:

  10. This applies mainly to the situation when I am using an Apple Pencil.
    Let’s say I want to resize and reposition an object (image, shape or element).
    Right now, when a tool like the pen or the marker is selected, I have to tap and hold the object with my finger to bring up the edit menu. Then I have to select "Edit" to select the object and make it editable.
    Or I have to switch to the image, shape or element tool in the toolbar. Then I can tap the object with my pencil (or finger) to resize it…

  11. Editing text in text fields should work the way it does in Pages or Word because that’s what people are used to. It’s confusing that GoodNotes has a different way of handling this and it throws me off every time I’m working with text fields.
    In Pages and Word, clicking a text field once selects it. Then you can click it again to get the cursor to appear so that you can start typing. To deselect the text field, you just click anywhere else in the page.
    However, in GoodNotes, after clicking a text field once to select it, clicking…

  12. the function of cut, copy, delete etc when selecting text,images and such are so far given in a horizontal manner.
    I would like to suggest to switch the display of the options to a list, instead of a long horizontal pop up.

    even after so much use of the app, it’s not intuitive to my eyes, and if by chance more users would feel the same, it might make the UX more smooth , thanks in advance ;)

  13. As safari shows all the opened tabs in a grid view.

    Need grid view of all the opened documents.

    Thus it becomes very easy to navigate between multiple tabs of opened documents.

  20. Needless to say, there are many advantages of goodnotes. Here is a Chinese user who loves handwriting:
    I am a student who attaches great importance to handwriting experience. I like the experience of writing on paper and yearn for the convenience of taking notes on iPad. Therefore, I have been looking for a note taking software that can not only facilitate me to take notes, but also retain my experience of writing on paper to the greatest extent
    After trying many software such as goodnotes, notability, marginnotes3, prodrafts and 印象笔记, I found that the function of goodnotes is the most…
