  1. It would be great for educational content. E.g. math, you could measure degrees of triangles or construct geometric forms using the measuring tools.

  3. Hi, I love to write handwriting on slides, but sometimes the space isn‘t enough. That‘s why I love the comment feature, but I would love if the comments were possible to be handwritten as well. Right now it‘s only possible to add keyboard-written text, please add an option to fill the comment-space with handwriting! Sometimes its also nice to add little pictures/graphs that you draw in the comment space.
    Thanks :)

  4. I would like to be able to mark which flash cards I don’t want to study, just like you can mark a page as favourite. Because I made flashcards for my entire chapter, but I only need to study certain things from that chapter. It would be nice to just be able to disable s the flashcards you don’t want to study.

  6. 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.

  7. To scale imported photos with one point pined and then drag one of the other points to the ideal location. This is more convenient in locating the photo in the place you want than the current scaling photos from the middle.

  8. When inserting a picture taken by camera at real time, I need the scanned version, rather than the original picture. This function is supported by OneNote a long time ago, and they call it "Blackboard" mode in the camera. I hope this can be added to GoodNotes as well. Thank you~

  10. Have an option for us to scan document using iPad camera and cropping the image before pasting on our notes, and image pasted could be in PDF or image format. This will tremendously help in note taking

  12. I use several colors regularly and I must select the one that does not appear in the bar. If there were 4 colors and even five you could have them available more quickly. Others handwriting apps have quite a few colors available on the taskbar so you don't waste time choosing. In the figure I have put six colors and it does not look bad.

  13. Please allow custom colour palettes for text. AND the ability to have mixed colours in a single text block. At the moment if you change the colour of part of a text block, the UI changes the WHOLE block.

  14. I want to hide the status bar in iPadOS 15 for screen work space.
    In the previous iPadOS 14, I was able to hide the status bar, so I could use the screen space largely, but I can't hide it after I turned 15, so it's a little inconvenient.

  15. I want a ruler that moves on GoodNotes according to the magnification of the note. Sometimes I want to draw a line that is accurately lengthed in your notebook. I also want a function that allows me to draw a circle centered on a certain point.

  16. I love GoodNotes but the most tedious thing I dislike about the program is my handwriting. It would be amazing if the text box could be configured for a general use so you can write how you would with the pen but it converts to a preinstalled font. I have so much trouble with the text box adjusting them to the side, trying to go to the next line without using the keyboard, moving the text box.

  17. The situation is

    1. some user who use secondary language need to switch back to EN before they can use keyboard shortcut
    2. some use prefer to use Cmd+1, Cmd+2, Cmd+3 ,...

    so it wound be better to let user customize the keyboard shortcut their own way

    (including shortcut for each 1st - 3rd color of highlight and pen)

  18. 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.

  19. On dark paper when you highlight after writing, the highlighter goes over the pen instead of under, which is bothersome. Would prefer if y'all made it so that the default is highlight goes under pen no matter what the color of the paper is.
