  1. When I'm making several shapes or using images and want to be able to auto align them by either aligning of the top, bottom, middle, etc. Also the ability to space them evenly would be amazing.
    The ability to link/group these shapes/images together

  3. At this time (Aug 2023), there are a lot of students in Vietnam using Goodnotes for taking note on school especially med student like me and also the upcoming iPadOS 17 is going to support Scribble in Vietnamese language. So I think it's right time to add Vietnamese to be supported in Goodnotes

  4. Please improve the overflow text feature. Right now, if I add text to an existing page and it reaches the end, I have to add a new page for overflow each time. It should be possible to overflow to the next existing page automatically. Also, I do not see the overflow text until I add a page, so what I have written can easily be lost if I am not paying close attention. I have to backspace until the writing reappears, or add a new page- but not seeing a paragraph I have written is very stressful. It also breaks…

  5. It would be great if we could customize the theme in GoodNotes or be given the option to have the theme match the default device system theme or the other theme option(s).

  6. I would like the highlight tool to work as a copy select tool works. When moving the pen along page we will be able to highlight. As well as implementing tapping to remove highlights.

    Instead of having to lift pen to move down a row to highlight you just glide over the selected text you would like to highlight.

    It would be much more efficient this way. I noticed this inconvenience when switching to apples book reading tool and highlighting in there was much more seamless. Thank you for taking the time to read this if you did.

  7. I have had multiple documents that needs to be synced but they generally take their own time before syncing. If there can be a button to force sync all files to cloud that would save me so much headache and time.

  9. Your automatic backup is a great feature My request: Please include https://www.pcloud.com/ in your list of backup locations.

    The backup folder should be user defined.

    The ability to restore GoodNotes notebooks from backup should also be implemented.

    pCloud has a full API: https://docs.pcloud.com/. Maybe https://pipedream.com/apps/pcloud can help you or give you some ideas.

  11. I have been using GoodNotes for 2 years now and love it so much! However as someone who has terrible handwriting I use the write to text option everyday. I love it however why the heck does it not have color presets??? All the others writing options have it so why not the text option? This along with saving multiple default fonts, colors, and sizes. Thank you :)

  14. Please add the possibility to scale the background opacity. With a lower opacity of the background on import, changes would be clearly visible.

  15. Make GoodNotes available for the Xiaomi Mi Pad 5. I see it gave an Early Accees for only Samsungs Tablets. I think it can work the same on Xiaomi Tablet Devices with Sytlus support. Is it the same technologie and a very well Tablet with a good price.

  16. In the new update you hided the thickness of the pen under the button. Its very uncomfortable. Can you please consider to let the person to change settings (tool panel) himself — those who need more colors, would be able to hide the thickness,,, and others will be able to hide more colors.

    Thank you!

  17. A mini favorites toolbar to add our favorite colors for pens, highlighters, eraser, etc. would be nice to move around on the screen like in Notability!

  18. It would be fantastic if good notes could implement a dark mode that inverts the colours on a page. I usually do not use dark paper as I sometimes need to print my notes, and it is very tedious to change colours. This is a much-needed feature for users who love using dark paper but can't due to certain limitations.

    Love the recording feature however if you can set it up to play from the point you touch your slide or when you wrote something it will much helpful.

    If they are sounding vague please give me a call and I can explain more

  20. When making a card it would be nice to have all functions available, such as draw, type and pictures.

    One idea could be to have the classical top menu where the pen, eraser, hilighter, etc are found but also include a “Type” option that allows the user to type notes in the center of the card, just like it is in the current version. After that, the other tools can be used to add onto the text, such as hilighting or creating hand written annotations.

    It would also be useful to add both pictures and text to the same card.
