  2. Please add GIF feature to GoodNotes because in my studies there are various topics on which I have to use GIFs but, I cannot. My notes are pending. Please add this feature as fast as you can so that I can continue my studies.
    I hope you will add this feature.

    Regards

  3. A template with an automatic numbering system. The template would have a positionable "page number" feature, with the option to have the total page count as well. I wouldn't have to manually add "1 of 6", "2 of 6" to my pages, then change them all if I add a 7th page.

  5. Get rid of the “Save as default” in font styling and just have the font set automatically to the font when it’s adjusted. Just like how when you work in word document, google docs, when you set the font, it stays at that font every time you work. I constantly have to change fonts and reclick the “Save as default” Font, and it’s really annoying because it doesn’t appear in split screen. Why not just get rid of it entirely and save the font once it’s set, as it’s much more intuitive.

    In Notability, they have the Font Adjuster appearing…

  6. I recently switched all my notes and flashcards over to GoodNotes because I loved the flash card feature so much. Most flashcards apps randomize the cards which I personally don’t like because the order of the cards can be very important. Now that you have introduced randomization it has severely impacted my ability to use the flashcards (which I just made hundreds of). Please allow users to turn randomization on or off based on their own preferences. Thank you!

  7. Similar items have been suggested but only after selecting them which is cumbersome. Would love an option to recolor text by using a variant to the highlighter. Just like dragging a highlighter over text would highlight it, the recolor highlighter would instead recolor the text you've drawn a line over to the color selected. Think of it like putting a strike through a sentence, but instead of the line strike, the result would be changing the color of that underlying text from black to red for example. Much better UX than trying to draw a select around text.

  8. Would be great to add more keyboard shortcuts on MacOS version but also for iPad with external keyboard.

    missing
    - Clear Page
    - Laser Pointer

    Improvements:
    - custom keyboard shortcuts (defined by user)
    - accessing/selecting different Tools within Tools (f.e. different Pen Types) through keyboard shortcuts
    - accessing/selecting Colors through keyboard shortcuts
    - accessing/selecting different Size of stroke through keyboard shortcuts
    - accessing/selecting different Fonts Types...

  10. I often annotate books for school and it would be nice if I could search only my handwriting and not the entire text of the book

  11. I would like to be able to use the select tool when writing with the Zoom window without having to exit this mode.

    I use this app every day and it would be quite helpful if you are able to add this feature :)

  12. Being able to adjust opacity would enable note taking to use a Boldness type feature for important ideas and parenthetical ideas could be more faint.

  13. 日本語の文書の場合、縦書きの文書もある。この場合、左から右にスワイプしてページをスクロールするのが自然である。スクロールの方向を追加してほしい。

  14. Kinda like in procreate, clip studio or photoshop that the line drags a bit, but it helps make the lines more smooth and pretty.

  15. To avoid ambiguity, there could be a button that creates a resizable box for entering formulas.

    1. For mathematical formulas, it would be great if GoodNotes could recognize special characters such as Greek letters or things like "x" with a bar over it (used to denote the mean of numerical data) or x^a (x to the power a)

    2. For such formulas, GoodNotes should support MathML export. What I mean is, GoodNotes would save both the formula as I entered it, plus the MathML form.

    This feature would be very useful for scientists, engineers, mathematicians and computer science professionals.

  16. I have a recommendation of note alignment in horizontal.
    The problem is all my hard writhing note there are wasting space on the right (attachment 1). It is caused by my palm is reach to the edge of the iPad. If I fill that space up I need to hand my palm in the air or rest my palm on the table. The process isn’t smooth. Even my small hand in 11” iPad.
    If that possible to user align the note to a side (depends on left-hander/right-hander) free up the other side for palm (attachment 2) instead of now always…

  17. IOS version allows us to select entire PDF texts. MacOS' text tool doesn't have this feature, so we can't copy, paste or define texts.

  18. Have a tool similar to a text box, but instead of typing, it recognizes and converts handwriting like with Nebo. I would like a more efficient way to input text through handwriting then the current system. It is very time consuming to have to write, lasso, convert, copy, paste and then delete the original text. Nebo is very limited in it’s formatting ability, but as an input tool it is a great model for what GoodNotes should be able to do.

  19. More pens on the top tool bar -- I like to have a certain color for certain parts of my notes for medical school. I.e. green for treatment, red for disorder, blue for diagnosis, and then I write everything else in black so I keep having to go back and forth. Instead of like 3 choices being available at one time, having 5 or 6 would be awesome

  20. I'd like to have the opportunity to create Symbolic Links in folders. This feature would let us use folders as an index for subjects comprised by notebooks or other folders without having to duplicate it.
