  1. When on a certain document and you hit the back arrow, it should open up to that folder and not the recent folder you were in.

  2. Add the ability to program a gesture to rotate pen colors. I use multiple colors for my notes and this feature would save me SO MUCH time.

  4. All very nice, but the keyboard function should be improved to beat the competitiveness that this app certainly has. First of all, many layout customization functions should be added, the possibility of adding and creating tables, the possibility of dividing the writing page into two columns when desired without distorting the rest of the page which must remain in one column, the possibility of having greater customization. And finally, another thing to take into consideration are the gestures that should be made in the presence of output such as a mouse or anything specific. I'm sorry if your understanding of…

    • Once an external link is placed in the document, it is interruptive to have to click through approval for External link every time you follow the link

  6. It usually crashes when I use it. It just doesn't work for creating new notes, it is good for only viewing. However, need to improve the customer experience like an increasable font for larger scale monitors or just 16 inches MBP. BTW the CPU and Memory usage when I use the laptop version is crazily high, hope u guys may improved it! Many Thanks!

  8. THE NEWEST TYEPE COMMENT is so hard to use! It cannot see whole things, is stable over there, and cannot scroll down, or close it. This is type 6.3.38, I like 6.3.36 please let this type back!!

    I hope the comment can be scrolled down smoothly and can add notes on it.

  9. Hello,
    Sorry for using the feature request to report a BUG. Unfortunately I have not found an option for a BUG report.

    I use Goodnotes for measurements on site. Goodnotes runs on the iPad with the latest padOS. I use a Leica Disto X4 for the measurements. The Disto is connected to the iPad via Bluetooth.

    BUG:
    I have activated the pen (or another tool) and measure with the Disto.
    Every time after the measurement Goodnotes changes the tool to "Newest" (the tool with the star icon).
    and you have to switch back to the previous tool every time after…

  10. In apps like procreate you can change the level of stability of your pen to get smoother lines. I believe the Apple notes app also has a bit of it incorporated so the hand writing is cleaner and does not look like writing with a mouse on a pc. It would be great to have a stability or assistance regulation feature in the pencil options as the hand writing gets very difficult compared to other apps.

  11. according to textbox:
    1. different border styles for textboxes (dotted, dashed, ...)
    2. textbox-shadows also on other sides, not just bottom (for example: just on the left side, ...)
    3. multiple favorites including line height for usage in different paper styles

    according to full-page-text-typing
    1. option to change the font and color of H1, etc. (for example: I want a blue headline and black text for my notes, so i can manually change this to the font and color I like and dont need to recolor after writing notes)
    2. multiple textboxes in different templates (for example: in the 2-columns-paper…

  12. Would be great if you could re-organize the toolbar or tool ribbon at the top of the page. I use the zoom window the most, but it's all the way on the right so I have to swipe on the toolbar with my finger to get to it. it would be great if I (or you) could put it right next to the pen tool.

  15. It would be great to use the side buttons on a mouse (e.g., MX mouse) as a back and forward button (similar functionality in browsers).

  17. Currently, changing the template only changes it for a single page, would be great if we could remove the template for all pages at once after finishing the notes.

    We may need a ruled, squared or dotted page while writing notes but while reading/sharing we would prefer it on a blank background.

  18. As a student, I am often completing exam papers and download them onto my goodnotes to then complete. I often find that there isn't enough space to write on the sheet so I create a new blank page to write my answers. However it is very inconvenient to have to scroll up and down to read the question then scroll down to write my working then scrolling back up again for the the questions and so on. Other apps like liquid text already have this feature that I wholeheartedly believe would make this app significantly better. Not only this, even…

  19. There is an option to save our favorite font and size of a text, I think it would be lovely to have multiple favorites so that there would be more text boxes already edited as a quick access.
