  1. I initially had a custom pen color palette with no problems. However, after I decided to delete my colors and replace them with newever colors, my palette always resets to the old custom palette I had. I constantly lose the new colors I create and this occurs for my highlighter colors too.

  2. Every time a new version of the same script (film/tv) comes out, I would love to be able to transfer my notes and additional pages to the new script.
    At the moment I have to manually transfer one note and additional page at a time.

  3. It is very annoying to have an original pdf where original dimensions are larger than the default A4 pages of goodnotes.

    If I want to add a blank page to take supplementary notes, I have to struggle with that.

  4. I'm using GN intensiv and missing one important feature: Virtual Notebook(s) based on a search. This feature should be similar to the intelligent folder in apple mail. I'd like to define a search by keyword as a Virtual notebook. This will help me to quickly get an overview on all pages wich belongs to my key word(s). Having multiple virtual notebooks will help me organizing my self even better.
    It should be possible to read and write in the virtual notebook. Adding a new page should optional add a text box with the key words.

    Use Case: I'm using GN…

  6. There’s a bug where when you resize text with the lasso tool and it snaps to a diagonal angle at all when resizing it will then not snap back to being straight again. It always has a slight slant and this drives me crazy! Also, if we could freely resize without it snapping that would be great!

  7. When importing pdfs the page numbering starts on the cover and pages like the contents page are counted which means on things like textbook the page numbers don’t match up with the book in real life which makes it hard to work with especially in class

  8. When drawing/writing something without lifting the pen, so in one line and then using the eraser to split it in half as example, the selection tool still handles the now separate objects as one.

    As shown in picture 3 both parts are moved although only one is selected.

  9. Ich nutzte das Tool viel um Plakate für eine Ausbildung zu gestalten. Für mich wäre es extrem Hilfreich wenn eine Funktion Keilstift hinzugefügt würde.

    Danke

  10. Using the IOS 15 native OCR function to improve the search efficiency, you can identify the content of the scanned version of the text when establishing a text index, which will make the software more efficient.I don't know if IOS has open this API.

  11. Clicking the toolbar in the GN5 Mac app expands the window to large view, and clicking again returns it to standard size.

    Basically, quickening the time it takes to widen the GN view WITHOUT actually going into FULL SCREEN mode.

    Should be a quick fix.

  12. when i tried to upload my notes and folders ..... on One drive as PDFs

    i tried to download them again on Good notes

    i found the PDFs annotations are constant and cannot be edited again

    on the other hand, i tried to do the same manually on some files and repeated

    the process and found the annotations editable, but it would take very much

    time to do this on every file in every folder.

  13. I would love to have a template that would aid me in script practice, personally I would love for it to be Spencerian Script template, but any script template would be good for practice.

  14. Allow the ability to reformat/re-color text via simply highlighting with a tool (similar to highlighter) rather than having to lasso and change the color.

  15. I have shaky hands, and while the straight line feature on the highlighter is helpful, it would be awesome to have the option to change the highlighter color when you select text (i.e, like you would do when you go to copy it to clipboard). You can use the lasso tool to select it after highlighting it, but that is a pain lol.

  16. It'd be amazing if we could toggle on and off the pressure sensitivity entirely and rather the thickness of the strokes be dependent majorly on the speed of the stroke. This would, imo, make the writing experience a whole lot better for a lotta others like me.

  17. When having lots of readings for classes such as philosophy and ethics, I think it would be useful to be able to import it into the notebook, but collapse it. Same with images. So, you see the little folder icon in the notebook, click on it, and it opens either the document or image in the full page, so that it's not taking up tons of pages on the notebook.

  18. I know gesture function for undo has already been introduced.

    But,
    I am grabbing pencil in right hand and ipad in left hand, I usually grab ipad for not to be shaken when I am writing, so I have no additional hand to do gesture!! Even need two finger double tap.

    Rather press undo button is fast and convinient. Eraser button is very useless for me that I have to press pen button again.

    So to press undo button accurately is very important for me to use GoodNotes. But button is very small, even the slightest mislocation woudn’t work. To…

  19. I use a lot of different colors when I take notes. It helps me remember concepts better so I can color coat specific ideas. As of now, it is a real inconvenience having to click twice to change my color if it’s not already one of my 3 pre-selected colors. Sure, it’s just an extra tap, but since I change colors so frequently (sometimes multiple times on a single sentence), it ends up being really inconvenient. I know I’ve seen this recommended a couple times but I think a great thing to add would be a “toolbar” right below our…
