Optical Character Recognition
One of the best features for me were searchable PDFs in GoodNotes with the last update.
You could further enhance this experience, if you would add the ability to search your handwritten notes, too. I know this feature would be a lot of work, but you would get really close to Pro Note Tools like OneNote from Microsoft.116 votes -
Add support for 53's "pencil" stylus, precisely the eraser function on its back!
It feels really good to just flip the stylus over and erase somthing.

Rectangular Lasso Tool
Some free programs, like CollaNote have a rectangular lasso tool where you drag the top left point to the bottom right that is honestly faster in a lot of cases for very straightforward notes, instead of needing to draw a nearly fully closed circle.

Add an eraser button in the zoom window toolbar
While its only a minor inconvenience, when I'm taking notes in a class where the professor really likes to speed along, having to go to the top of the screen to select the eraser, then back to select the pen, I can quickly fall behind what the prof is saying.

Multiple open documents
I often need to go back and forth between multiple documents. Can we have three or four such open documents at once, possibly selecting them from icons on a toolbar, etc?

Hold stroke for perfect shape
It’s a bit tedious to switch to the shape tool every time you want to draw e.g. a perfect line. What about having GoodNotes draw a perfect shape when you hold your stroke like in Procreate or Notability? Bonus points when it’s possible to edit the shape size and anchor points.
107 votesWe’re happy to announce that the update 5.6.0 that we released today adds an improved shape recognition including the option to hold at the end of a line to make a perfect shape, shape selection & editing, and curve drawing. It further improves the recognition of circles and squares and adds back the ability to draw shapes with the highlighter.

Visual folder instead of Categories
There is a categories option but visual folders would be more nicer to see and far more usable
Obviously with subfolder support107 votesWe’ve added a folder system with main folders and subfolders to GoodNotes 5. It is now possible to create infinite levels of folders. Thanks your patience.

Changing Default Font TextBox
After the latest update, I can’t find a way to set a default font and size for the textbox, unlike before when you can just click the icon and store the current font and size as default. Right now, every time you add a textbox, you have to start typing from blue, size 10, Modern font and change it manually.
105 votesHello! The option to set the default style for text boxes is already available.
You can do it in two ways:
- From the text box object menu (tap the three dots → Save as Default).
- From the Text Tool floating menu (tap the T with a heart icon). This icon becomes active whenever your current settings differ from the default.
You can save any settings as default: color, size, font, text style, alignment, line height, and text box style.
Let us know if it works for you!

Dark mode
I would love an added dark mode option. Having darker greys and blacks could make the app look so much cleaner.
106 votesDark Mode is now supported in GoodNotes 5.3 for iPadOS and iOS 13. You can enable system-wide Dark Mode in the control center and GoodNotes’ design will switch to Dark Mode. We also added a set of dark paper templates that you can use when creating new documents, adding new pages, or changing existing templates. Please note that paper colors won’t be automatically changed when activating Dark Mode because backgrounds are static.

Perfect Shape Tool
Good Notes 4's shape tool was significantly better than Good Notes 5's tool. On Good Notes 5 it is almost always imperfect. Can you please add an option in the shape tool that allows for a subset of perfect shapes, like circles, squares, rectangles, etc... Another suggestion is that you could make it so that when we draw a shape using the pen tool and hold it the shape automatically snaps to a perfect shape. This would be incredibly useful for making graphs and charts that need precise lines. Not everyones hand is as steady as an artists and for…

[Shapes] Improve Rotation
Why can't I rotate shapes? This is a very basic function of all note taking apps.
Why can't I make shapes smaller than an arbitrary vertical size threshold? You can make shapes as skinny as you want, but you cannot make them shorter than some random limit the team(?) decided was an appropriate size.
Not being able to make small shapes and/or rotate shapes at all severely limits my ability to take notes and make diagrams in classes like biochemistry and biology (which is probably a significant portion of your users, btw!).
This existed in 6... why would you remove…
92 votesThanks for your feedback!
Shape rotation has been fixed and available in today’s release. With the new v7.0.8 update, shapes created by drawing and holding with the pen tool can now be rotated.
Update your app to try it out!

Add an option to only erase with the apple pencil
So it is useful being able to erase with your finger, but it would be great to be able to toggle just using the apple pencil to erase to avoid accidentally erasing notes on review etc. and not noticing!
