  2. Please allow a setting to save custom colour choices for every time use. I like I have to change the colour palate options everytime to my needed colours before I can write a new note. I mean there should be an option to create on colour palate and save it for later use and not just the default you have provided.

  3. Now, one has to go all the way to the left to bring out the page finder, choose one out of the small preview hoping I got the right one, because if not I’ll have to bring out the finder again and repeat until I find the page. This is incredibly unintuitive and time-consuming. Please move the page finder button to the right and allow preview on the sidebar with the selected page in the main window to allow easy page finding. Notability already does that. My preferred app is GoodNotes, so fingers crossed this will be updated soon.

  4. I would like to have the option to have an unlimited page size, just like Apple notes. So no page-breaks in between, just one long page, which is expanding by it self.

  5. After years of use and many tens of gigbytes of content, my ipad is full from goodnotes content. I dont want to delete older notes because I occasionally refer to them. I request allowing us to selectively sync some content to our devices and allow older content to be stored in the cloud and downloaded when needed directly within the app.

  6. Currently the only way to favourite a document is from the file browser. It would be very handy to be able to favourite from within an already open document.

    Also the star/favourite button on thumbnails is not present in search results.

  7. The situation is

    1. some user who use secondary language need to switch back to EN before they can use keyboard shortcut
    2. some use prefer to use Cmd+1, Cmd+2, Cmd+3 ,...

    so it wound be better to let user customize the keyboard shortcut their own way

    (including shortcut for each 1st - 3rd color of highlight and pen)

  8. It would be great if you could design your own font (create every single letter by yourself), and then have your fast (bad looking) handwriting converted into your carefully designed letters. That way it would guarantee beautiful handwriting even tough you are in a hurry.

  9. It would be really helpful if I can add multiple images to one note. Curretly if I select multiple images in the photo app and import them in GoodNotes they open all in different notes. That‘s frustrating, because right now I need to manually import each image individually in GoodNotes to get them in one note.

  10. currently, there are only three colors appear and if we want to change to a different color we would have to click the option menu to change the color. I think it would be better to add 2 more colors,

  12. For example, I want to see how a sorting algorithm works but it’s hard to see the steps by making a bunch of graphs. So being able to make a small animation will help visualize how something works without having to create a bunch of pages

  13. Using elements is fantastic, however, I would like to be able to crop from the lasso tool. Right now, if I place a calendar block and need to change the size, I have to select element, which then auto-selects the lasso tool. To crop an element, I then have to select the image, which brings up the image selector on the page, then click off of that, and then select crop. It adds so many extra steps. Why not just have the crop option from the lasso tool? It would save so many steps!

  15. I love GoodNotes. But a feature I’d like to see is one wherein the background and ink colors change when toggling between dark and light modes. The iOS notes apps does this, but it’s just a terrible note taking app. Maybe the option to toggle between date and light mode, with accommodating background and ink color inversions, could be an option within the app. Thanks.

  18. Allow me to select text, eg my page heading like (meeting to discuss projected financial) and then click on a button which shoots the page heading to an automatically generated table of contents in the front of the Notebook. Table of contents will be built using all the specified headings, and should also display date of that entry for easy reference. This would be a great help to business people. A next step that can be contemplated is to have GoodNotes access my calendar and paste a link to the entry in the notes of my meeting planner, so that…

  19. Lasso tool can also change stroke/tool of the already written note. We should be able to change it from Fountain Pen to Brushed one. And, lasso tool can be used in fine shape form like we can in Notability
