  1. Eraser should work on text. Right now you can only lasso and delete or edit the text. It would be nice to be able to erase a part of the text without having to delete/redo or edit the whole thing

  2. It would be nice if you could delete parts of the pdf outline or the complete outline of an imported document. Currently, you are only able to edit your own outline.

  3. This has been brought up a bunch of times in the past couple of years and I don’t see any admin responses to any posts.. why not add a feature that lets you drag and drop text/ images to the next page within the same document?

  5. I often re-use arrows and all sorts of frames (lined shapes without filling) that I need to immediately adjust in terms of size but not in terms of thickness.

    Another user case is that I hand-write some text with a pen (not text tool) and then I need to make the whole of it a bit smaller or larger BUT KEEP THE THICKNESS of the lines.

    Let’s say I drew an arrow with a pen 2 mm thick and then I need to make the shape bigger - longer in this case - BUT I STILL WANT IT TO BE…

  6. A lot of apps (other than the MS Office suite) out there can edit Word (.docx) and PowerPoint (.pptx) files.

    Given that a lot of class notes are given by professors in these formats, having the ability to modify them within the app would allow users to replace MS Office apps for basic note editing work.

    I already keep all PDF docs in GoodNotes. Having the option to properly import and edit Word and PowerPoint files here would make it much more convenient.

    This would make GoodNotes more attractive for working professionals as well.

    Hope to see this feature sometime…

  7. Backup to Cloud Services like OneDrive works fine.
    However, I have not found a solution to transfer files easily from PC to GoodNotes on my iPad. E.g. if I want to read and annotate a PDF in GoodNotes.
    It would be very simple to achieve this by a two-way synch with OneDrive so that files that are copied to the OneDrive GoodNotes Folder on any device can be read and edited on the iPad. I don't think I will continue to use GoodNotes without such a feature.

  8. It would be helpful if GoodNotes recognizes uneven handwriting and would transform it into a straight line.
    (just like the straight line function for the highlighter)

  9. When the app is closed out, the color palette rests on its own. I’d like to keep my palette if possible, even after closing out the app. This can maybe be fixed with the ability to save multiple palettes.

  11. Currently, I have to use several different apps to take my notes and go through the annoying process of sharing back and forth via Google Drive or some other convoluted method.

    Please include PC compatibility for note-taking (not just viewing) and a cloud sync to avoid issues with transferring notes back and forth. See sites such as Canva that already do this. Honestly, sometimes I just use Canva for taking notes since at least I can control text formatting, grouping and locking, and cloud sync.

  12. I study math and sometimes I speedrun my way through a problem set, and in the long run, having to add 100+ pages one by one can become a bit annoying, since there could easily be a feature to add x pages of the current template.

    e.g. add 20 pages with the current template after the current page

  14. Having extra space to either side of the document that you can scroll over into so that when you're writing on the edge, you have a place to rest your hand.
    For me, I'm right-handed, and writing near the right-hand edge is always hard since there's nowhere to rest my hand, so it'd be nice to have extra space to the sides

  17. It would be fantastic if there was a feature that hides a part of a note into a toggle button, which will expand the hided section when clicked, similar to the toggle function in notion. Perhaps the lasso tool could be used to select the content that is to be hided into toggle. This would tremendously boost the ability for active recall while reviewing through notes, without the need of creating flashcards, or using other apps that has the toggle feature.

  19. An easy way to upload pdf with powerpoint slides on it so that it creates a few lines underneath or next to the slide when uploading it to GoodNotes. That way we can write our notes during a lecture next to the slide instead of cramping al of the information on the actual slide itself.

  20. I did not find any information on whether I can use the dictation function with Goodnotes, so I assume I can't.
