  1. Love the new shapes tool but it would very useful if shapes (or in a broader sense also all other objects like images, text, stickers, etc.) could be aligned and spaced out evenly to make notes look more professional.

    Also the option to eg. center elements on the page via an x/y axis. There could be an option to turn automatic snapping/ guidelines on or off.

    It is very difficult to eyeball objects to be consistently spaced and aligned and often results in pages not looking consistent.

  2. Please, could you add the option of being able to insert equations and characters directly with the keyboard. Just as it is done in Microsoft Word, it would help and speed up the process of inserting and writing equations directly with the keyboard of the iPad or computer

  3. Right now, when I convert my handwriting to text with the lasso tool, it also converts all the newlines. Any time I went to the next line because the line was full, the text now does to too. However, since text is more space-efficient, the newlines are placed randomly. There is no fast way of removing them, and when I ask AI to do it, it always changes some words as well, which I don't want. Can there be a way the converter understands my page layout or a button that just removes all newlines at once?

  4. Please put the object selection toggle back. When a writing tool, I do not want to select an image without purposely using the lasso tool. It makes writing on images difficult.

  5. I just want to be able to have everything in front of me without pressing a billion different buttons for the sake of cleanness. Give me the keyboard button back and put all the customization buttons right below the toolbar, just like it was before, I am begging you.

  7. it would be nice if the great new tape tool also offered the possibility to set the angle freely or e.g. 45°

  9. I love everything about goodnotes EXCEPT that you are lacking this very basic feature. I am high functioning ASD (and the stereotypical sloppy handwriting) and have connective tissue disorders that make my hands hard to control on a regular basis. I thrive with visual data and organization and your app truly is THE BEST - but I always discontinue use of this app very quickly due to the absolute chicken scratch it turns my handwriting into. This is a very real accessibility issue that I am disappointed to see overlooked by a company of your size and acclaim.

  11. Text formatting

    • (Some) Markdown support -- including the extended syntax
      • TeX and LaTeX support (like $\TeX or \LaTeX$)
      • Inline code and code blocks -- I'm not expecting syntax highlighting due to security reasons
      • Links
      • Footnotes [^*]

    Styling initial paragraphs

    Most of the time, I style the first sentence of my document as Paragraph, not as Heading.

    With the current unresponsive UI when using on macOS, I have to click Style & Formatting and change the style every single time. It would be great if the app could let me set my styling preference for new documents.

  12. It is vital for me to see the date of the creation of my page. Some pages are memories from trips. Some notes are memories from a special event on a work day  . I would love to be able to see the date and time, and there may be more details about the specific page. I was so surprised to find that you cannot :)

  13. There are basically 3 pen thickness slots, eraser slots, and highlighter thickness slots, so I'd like to have additional thickness slots and eraser slots.

  14. It would be helpful so that we can create additional study sets easier as I have found excel is the best way to input info into study sets but without the ability to merge sets at this time.

  16. We should be able to add multiple elements or stickers and make them the same size with a precision sizing tool. If I put down 3 memo pad stickers and I want all 3 to be the same size, there shouldn’t be a constant resizing from the corner sizer. We could click on the sticker or element and put in a font size or pixel dimensions.
    Or an option as we are placing it to choose the size. Either way something to keep stickers and other elements consistent in size from page to page and even on the same page…

  17. I noticed that the device gets really hot when I use Goodnots. I let a diagnositcs tool run and confirmed it.

    The device does not heat up when i use other Apps or watch videos and the brightness is around 30%.

    I would appreciate if this could be fixed.

  18. I have had multiple documents that needs to be synced but they generally take their own time before syncing. If there can be a button to force sync all files to cloud that would save me so much headache and time.

  19. I’ve been using the app extensively for note-taking and organization, and I believe that the addition of a toggle menu feature would be incredibly beneficial. This feature could streamline navigation and provide a more efficient way to access different sections within the app. By allowing users to toggle between various menus seamlessly, it would make the overall experience more intuitive and user-friendly.

  20. I use Goodnotes for reading academic papers in college and it would be very useful if I can take notes right next to paper, not in another notebook. So, when I open the pdf, I also want to see the side notes I took in the same page.
