  1. When you import custom templates, the zoom window return height doesn't change even when you change its value to a similar value that the other default templates of the same size have. For example, I import A3 templates and even though I change the height to ~30, the zoom window always jumps way lower, a whole unit of its height below, instead of just a line like in the default goodnotes templates.

    Many users import custom made templates and it gets inefficient always having to place the window where it should be.

  2. 建议可以让文字和手写有相同的颜色!
    在笔记中有时候会用到大段文字输入,和手写不能同一个颜色实在是太难受了!而且输入文字的颜色不可以自由加入保存

  3. So, I personally think the app is getting better but, recently the feature that allowed us to draw straight lines, circles, arrows, graphs, etc have changed a little bit. It is less fluent and I can’t do 2 lines that will stick together automatically for example. Which I was able to do in the past. So it is impossible for me now to draw straight arrows or graphs which is quite frustrating because I used to use these features a lot. Now the lines are straight BUT no longer automatically horizontal or vertical you know ? You can maybe add…

  4. I think you should add an option to fit covers to document sizes. I mean that I for example bought a few sets of covers for goodnotes app and even though they all should be in a4 format I just couldn’t get them to fit the regular template size or even the a4 template size. It’s either smaller or bigger than the notebook pages. There is always a difference in size. If Etsy has such a big market for digital content for your app and also different other sites I think you should add an option to make the notebook…

  5. Often time, I want to quickly insert 1 image and go back to the pen tool. It would be great if the image tool auto-deselect and revert back to the pen like the eraser tool could

  6. a template group can have a lot of templates, which can make it difficult to still have an organised overview. when putting templates into folders within a template group, it can make it easier to find and pick the desired template.

  7. The touch bar is a whole new feature that can be used with the app! I would love to use and customize my touch bar to highlight, edit text, change between read/edit mode!

  8. When using the shape tool, make it so that when the line is relatively close to horizontal, make it snap into perfectly horizontal. Underlining pdf's is hard when all the straight lines are slightly slanted. I think this worked until the update 3 days ago. Thanks.

  9. A tool (like in a CAD software) to find the next line intersection and trim the selected line. Example- if you have a handwritten 'X' , selected this tool, and tapped the top right section of the line going bottom left to top right, it would look like 'λ'

  12. currently, when using the OCR document scanner, it automatically imports it as a full size page. There needs to be an option to import the scanned document within a page so that it is easier to edit/resize it.

  13. It would be useful if Goodnotes could retain the preferred sorting criteria by folder/file list. Personally, I prefer by type for lists of folders or lists of archived notes, but for long list of files including some files which I use daily, I would prefer by date. Right now, I have to manually switch the sort criteria each time I access the different lists.

  14. Links to Goodnotes pages that you could insert in other sites and apps.
    For example within "Roam Research" or "Notion" it would be amazing if you could have a reference link to a jpeg preview of a particular page that would be updated as the page was updated. Then you could have a link that opened that page in Goodnotes. This way the image would be handy and could be updated when required. This would be an amazing way to extend out Goodnotes usefulness within a broader note-taking ecosystem. Sönke Ahrens book "How to take smart notes" advocates taking literature…

  15. This way a new note would automaticly be stored on my NAS. Also I would not have to use ICloud to see my notes on other devices. This would make things a lot more orginised and it would also save storage space on my ipad! :)

  18. I'd like to be able to select multiple images and upload them as templates (paper/cover) as it's a bit tedious when I want to upload many original templates, and having to upload them one by one.

  19. Have a color and their paste equivalent and change between those colors so that you can change the paper from dark to white and that way you can study at night but also print your notes.

  20. I think Goodnotes would be more functional and enjoyable if the tools and the zoom box were near each other instead separated. It makes it easier to switch from tool to tool while utilizing the zoom function. Having the tools on the same bar where the indent, shift buttons, and x keys are on the zoom box would be so helpful!
