  2. I used good notes for many different things, college note taking, filling in pdf documents, bullet journal. Please add an option to save more than one default text.
    The font i use for note taking sometimes is too small for the font required to fill in documents. And my bujo is dark themed so the font needs to be white. It gets tedious having to change it everytime i open a text box depending on the document i am working on

  4. You can add a ruler feature, were you can draw straight lines and see the angle. There could be a centimeter display, which shows how long this line would be in ,,real“ life.

  6. Labeled ruler [pixels,cm,inches], Drafting Compass, Rotation without scaling , Scaling without rotation, Degree of rotation, Different types of dotted lines, line connector, intersection, LaTeX equation insertion.

    Or at the very least, some of those... We engineers, physicists and mathematicians need it so bad...

  7. When you rotate an object after using the lasso, it is not possible to keep the size because the functions are mixed. Resizing and rotating should be two functions or you need to be able to lock the size while rotating.

  9. To make space for the microphone/recording icon (perhaps for the sake of symmetry) the bookmark icon was removed. There is now no visual feedback of for a page being bookmarked.

    One on hand, I use this feature with my planner to add the current week to favorites for a quick retrieval. On the other hand I will never use the recording feature.
    My dismay at this new development is self evident and so is my wish for a future positive resolution for my quandry.

  10. Es wäre sehr gut, wenn man in GoodNotes - ähnlich wie in Office - die Linienarten einstellen könnte. Also z.B. eine gestrichelte Linie für das Zeichnen von verdeckten Linien. Oder auch die Strich-Punkt-Linie für eine Symmetrieachse.

  11. it would be great to be able to rotate objects without changing size or scale. For example rotating text boxes or drawings, to keep the same size but get a different angle. Thanks!

  12. Offer more flexibility to change what you've written afterwards. For example the stroke width should be adjustable after writing and you should be able to pick from your favourite colors instead of only having the option to choose from the whole matrix.

  13. I love the pen tool in Goodnotes! But I want more custom pens to chose from on the fly. Currently, only the zoom window gives me the choice of three colors. Why can't we have this in the main toolbar at the top? Also, I'd like to set different thicknesses for my customs pens so I can switch between a fine blue pen and a thick red pen with one tap. This would speed up my grading a lot! Thanks!

  14. Bring back the bookmark button please. Or make it so we can edit the toolbar to add it back. The record feature is useless to me so I want the bookmark button back where it was.

  15. Apple notes app recognises arrow heads at the end of segments and snaps them into perfectly straight or curved arrows when pencil is held after drawing so. This would be a great feature to have.

  16. Why not add a ruler and/or a virtual protractor to GoodNotes, it would be so much more practical to do graphs, draw vectors etc... because at the moment there is no precise tool.
    (For example, there is a virtual rule on the Notes app on iOS).

    PS : A compass could also be useful but less important than the rule and the protractor which are ESSENTIAL!

  17. Would anyone else love to see the pages in Goodnotes have the ability to freely rotate/turn to help with writing fatigue?

    Having my iPad on a stand to not have it flat only allows one angle for my hand. If we could freely rotate the page (as many of the drawing apps can), would help tremendously with writing fatigue and bullet journaling / drawing.

  18. For teaching (math, biology), it would be great to improve the math geometry mode like this:

    line types: dotted, dashed, solid for graphs etc.

    building an circle / rectangle etc. by fixing the center / edges.
    (radius for example) and enable to draw curved lines in geometry mode.
    or at least just like notability put the edges of an rectangle in the right position

    may be an interface to geogebra.

  19. I’d like to be able to enter math equations in text with special characters like in Microsoft word. With special characters and symbols. I use good notes for engineering.If you look a word, it has equation, and symbols, subscripts and super scripts. That would be great.

  20. It would be very helpful if we are given the ability to select several images and import them all at once. This will save time and it will make it easier to work with projects that require a collection of photos. One way I would use this is to upload multiple pictures into flashcards. I think it would also be great for journaling. A feature like this will help speed up my workflow. It is a nice productivity feature.

    My workflow would be much more efficient if I could multiple images simultaneously instead of individually, since I work with images…
