Handwriting and text rotation
I love taking notes and drawing in GoodNotes and it would be great if I could rotate the objects I've drawn on the page. We can already change the color and scale the object, so it would be nice to be able to rotate these objects.
Rotation of handwritten objects is possible in GoodNotes 5. Select the objects with the lasso tool and tap on “resize”. You’ll also find the option to rotate the selection.

Hello, as a intensive working student who likes being crafty and super organized, I came across some things I would love to have on GoodNotes:
1) Coloring bookmarks
2) Having sub-bookmarks
3) Being able to color a whole page
4) Having more variety of covers (like solid colors) or maybe design a cover on your own
5) Rotating the page
6) Cropping the page
7) Having an automatic table builder instead of drawing it
The app is amazing, it helps me be more focused during class since I don't have to worry about ow i write, in what color, etc so i won't have to rewrite it later. -

Yes, and please make it a non-uniform resize. This way one square is enough for all rectangle forms. Same for circle and ellipse. I never get them right with shape recognition.
Tab and hold on the shape recognition button could open a drop down menu for the spapes, so it won't clutter the ui & doesn't eat up menu space.
Also, please let us have the same border-width, border-colour and fill-colour options for shapes, that we already have for text boxes. -

Thank you for such an amazing app. I used the app for my whole engineering degree. Two tools I really want you to include are: 1. DASHED OR DOTTED LINE 2. ABLE TO ROTATE HAND DRAWN DIAGRAM.

I would very much like to have this feature. I frequently have drawings that I would like to rotate (as well as scale).

Yes! The ability to scale is already there, not sure why rotate isn't.

I just switched from notability and am sorely missing this feature! Sad that the first comment was 3 years ago, but I hope maybe the developers will add it.

It would be great to have an ability to rotate paper in portrait mode while in split mode. So you can read or watch source on the left part of the screen (safari, book, document etc...) and comfortably take notes on the right

Yep. Rotating selection is tops on my list. As for resizing, I think that already possible, although if I had a wish on this, it would be to be able to preserve line width when resizing.

this would also help me with various block diagrams where a lasso-copy-paste-rotate-move to position is quicker and more crisp than redrawing in the new rotation. Most commonly I would use 90, 180, 270, 360, and mirrors

This is one of the best features in Notability. Please add it to Good Notes! Good Notes is great, by the way.

Please expand the functionality of the lasso tool to allow cut/copy/paste, resizing, color change, rotation, writing's thickness, etc. It is the only thing I miss about Notability. Thanks very much and adding functionality to the Lasso Tool is the only thing keeping Goodnotes from being the perfect note-taking app :)

As many users have already written it can be difficult to get the shapes exact enough for the recognition to work. It would be nice if a "tab and hold" on the the shape recognition button would open a drop down menu to select shapes to be inserted. With the possibility to rotate and nonuniformly scale shapes this could produce more acurate shapes without having to draw them again and again :)
Please also add border and fill styles for shapes, like you already have for text boxes. -

Being able to rotate images without being able to rotate text is ridiculous and useless.
Text boxes must be able to be rotated like images.

Rotating images and hand writing would be great!
