  3. I feel that sometimes your pen slips or when you draw or make diagrams for studying there are very rigid lines which mess up the drawing…having an option to smooth out your lines would really healp

  4. Make the main bar light when the system of the device is light and dark when the system of the device is dark, (by main bar I mean the dark blue bar on the pic)

  5. Allow for hashtagging (much like Apple Notes). This allows for easy searches, etc. GoodNotes is great, but hashtags will make it better!

  7. A tool that changes the colour of existing handwritten strokes in the same way that the stroke eraser removes handwritten strokes. Rather than having to make careful lasso selections around pen strokes then selecting colour, users could use this tool to quickly edit the colour of their text to highlight certain words using different colours really easily. This tool would have a colour pallet much like the pen tool that decides the colour the strokes will be changed to when painted over.

    The attached gif demonstrates the functionality of the proposed tool

  9. Similar to on Microsoft word, when placing an around text, the text should have an option to automatically wrap around the image in different ways.

  10. I love using the highlighter option but it’s incredibly dull compared to other notes apps. All the colours need to be more vibrant because I constantly find myself highlighting over the same thing multiple times to get the colour I want to appear. Also please increase the max size of the highlighter feature. Most of the notes I download to the app have text too big for the highlighter and It looks terrible and takes too much time to go over it again and again. Thanks

  11. a. No ability to edit pen thickness AFTER having written. I would like to be able to select various bits of writing and make them all the same thickness.

    b. Resizing handwritten text changes thickness (weight) of what's been written.
    Editing these resized notes exacerbates this problem; have to experiment to find a suitable pen weight so that new text matches weight of existing text.

    c. Zooming in does not scale pen weight - so zooming in and writing additional text means having to experiment with an appropriate pen weight in order for new writing to match existing writing.

  14. In GoodNotes for Mac, enable 'page up' and 'page down' keys to quickly flip through the pages. The up/down arrow keys are performing continuous scrolling and they are too slow.

  16. I use different size papers for different notebooks and have to change fonts in each one. One size does not fit all. Being able to have a default font for each notebook would be great. Also, some notebooks I use vertical scrolling, and some horizontal. Different defaults there would be great too. Other than that it is perfect for me. . Keep up the good work. .

  17. I'd love to be able to write in full screen mode - sometimes I'm just doing maths exercises, all I need is a black pen and double tap to erase. I just wish we could have the read-only mode screen real estate, while writing. I don't need the toolbar or document tabs most of the time!

  20. A "back to reading" option when browsing in the goodnotes files system would be most appreciated.

    So say I leave a document I was reading in order to browse through the GoodNotes system, it would be nice to have a button which would send me back to where I was reading when I left the document.
