So many basic tools are missing
*no send to back/bring to front options
*no table creation options
*no way of editing hyperlinks within goodnotes, you have to do it externally
*no layer tool (adding this would solve the send to back issue)
*no opacity settings for pens
*no bullet point options for typing
These are such basic tools in other apps and I’m actually astounded GoodNotes does not have them. Even word 2007 had some of these options, let’s not pretend they’re innovative tools. Without them GoodNotes is frustrating to use and frankly just a poor way of organising information, I really expect better, come on devs I can’t believe people have been asking for bullet points for 7 years :/

The following topics highlight challenges such as layers, transparency, locking, merging, grouping, object order, visibility, and rearranging—issues that could easily be fixed with the addition of a layers feature in GoodNotes.
If everyone supports the topic with the highest number of votes, we could achieve 3,150 votes for layers! By coming together, we have a stronger chance of getting this essential feature. With GoodNotes currently in beta and making big changes, now is the time to cast your vote.
