  1. Now I have to click then select stroke size, which is make me get slower. Before It appeared in the toolbar and I only do one click, but for now two click is required. For me adding more colors doesn’t necessary (at all), I don’t always change the colors, but I always change the stroke size, so bring it back please 🙏🏼, I’m so upset to click for change stroke size, can you make me change immediately whenever I want to.

  2. It would be awesome to have the possibility to save an individual color palette for typed texts just like it is for handwritten texts. At the moment there’s just the option to save one explicit favourite text style respectively text color.

  3. I think adding a tool for drawing curves for diagrams that for example engineering students must draw for their notes will be very helpful like the one exists in CollaNote.

  4. Add a sync button on the main bar to the different goodnotes platforms. I simultaneously work between goodnotes on my MacBook and iPad. It rarely auto syncs in real-time. I need back out of my current document in both platforms, go into settings, go into icloud settings, and then click use icloud. I toggle off in both then toggle on in both for my changes to sync real-time. It's a nuisance. I love goodnotes otherwise.

  6. The flashcards tool is a really great way to study vocabulary or Theorems, but please make the window bigger whilst studying!

  7. Can we add the option to insert a new blank page, which has exactly the same size as the pages in the PDF?

    As a student, I open various PDF slides everyday. However, when I want to insert a blank page in between for more detailed notes, it's difficult to figure out the exact same width. But using a page with a different width makes scrolling and zooming less fluid.

  8. As today we have only 03 colors & three pencils options to switch between. There’s space to at least the double of each in the toolbar.

  9. Highlight the area inside the drawn shape, just like the “fill color” option in the pen tool. However, the fill highlight color would be the same as the outline.

  10. I use GoodNotes for my planning and now create my planner in keynotes first so I can link the tabs to the right page. I’ve seen more people suggesting this feature comes in GoodNotes itself too so you don’t need keynotes anymore.

    I want to add something to that suggestion: I would also like to link objects or text boxes so what you write on one place will be mirrored to another place.

    For example; I have a monthly overview but also days and weeks. I have in every day page a square in the same size as in the…

  11. It would be handy to be able to scroll beyond the page. This would enable me/us to write on the page bottom while the hand palm is still resting on the screen instead of having it resting uncomfortably on the edge of the device.

    Otherwise I LOVE the app and your pricing. Keep up the good work :)

  12. The addition of a tool to blur individual word or parts of images. To use for studying on it own or to create flashcards after using ‘take screenshot’. Ease of function similar to highlight tool

  13. Adding the ability to attach pop up notes on highlighted words, similar with adobe acrobat. We should be able to minimize the notes after accessing them. This would clearly benefit students like me who likes to add further notes on books and PDFs without being limited to writing on the side of each page.

  14. Hi, I find sometimes I could not get my files synced. When I launch the app, I sometimes have to wait for sync, which is waste of time. Especially when I use my device to modify my files, I shift to another device. It will do nothing and I really want a button or something like pull down to refresh to sync all my files manually. I think I could be useful, thanks.

  15. Add a "Duplicate" item to the selection pop-up menu so one can duplicate a selection with one tap instead of having to first select copy, then press-and-hold to show the pop-up menu, then select paste.

    The duplicated selection’s position could be determined by available canvas space or simply be shown slightly overlapping the original selection.

    I’ve attached an image showing the desired behaviour.

  16. I'm used to always copying & pasting links into my notes in order to support my research. It's frustrating that I can't do this in GoodNotes. If I copy & paste a link into a text box, it wont be clickable. Please consider making this feature a top priority in future updates because it is required for students, teachers and people doing research. My notes aren't as useful when I can't include links that will work. I really just want to be able to tap on a link to open it and then tap back to go to the GoodNotes…

  18. Please fix “keyboard shorcuts” while in text mode. Goodnotes for some weird reason only makes you select a letter to switch between tools instead of “ command and the letter. So when trying to type on a external keyboard i cant type a P,E,H,S,L,I,C,or T with out it completely switching tools and existing out of typing mode. I feel like this is pretty big oversite and is unfortunately the only reason i have to us notability over good notes when typing at times. I can understand if this is a mac feature but as far as an ipad goes its…

  20. When I highlight text, I want the option to add a comment/explanation that then hides in the comment icon next to the highlighted text. When I click on the icon, that explanation then appears underneath the text. And when I click on the background, it goes back to the way it is.
