  1. We can currently choose between dark, yellow and white paper. So i would suggest adding complete black paper as a new alternative, to minimize the strain in the eyes when studying long hours but also to have more aesthetically more pleasing plain black paper as a choice.

  2. We need the option of sending back a diagram or bring text to the front, because when drafting and stuff, its a bit disappointing having to erase or re-do stuff in order for it to fit hierarchy when working

  3. Text needs the option to save custom colours. Changing text colours also seems inconsistent and often changes the entire block instead of only highlighted text.

  4. Recognize a double-tap to change to drawing mode. Could also do triple-tap to change to erase. Or let user assign the action.

  5. I think it would be great if we were able to have movable sticky notes that would also move the text inside of it without affect any highlighting already resent on the page. Or being able to deselect highlighting when using the lasso tool so that I could move just my makeshift sticky notes.

  6. For example, when I highlight “carboxyl” I can click on the highlight, and BANG—a picture of carboxyl (that I drew in the annotation) pops up. Not only that, but in a pdf, when I highlight a text I can create my own comments in the small annotation box.

    This resembles closely to the google docs Suggestion tool, except Goodnotes!

  8. go to the page in which undo/redo changes are made

  9. I saw a couple suggestions to add a zoom lock (hey, palm rejection isn't perfect) and wanted to add an extra suggestion (for touch devices such as iPad). Add a button for locking zoom/horizontal scrolling and change the single-finger double tap from smart zoom to another tool, such as eraser, when the zoom is locked.

    So with the zoom unlocked, double tap would work as smart zoom, just as it currently does. With zoom locked, the double tap could switch tools instead of having to click on the toolbar every time. Could be a massive time saver in the long…

  13. Can we please add more paper sizes such as A4, B4, and JIS B5?

    I'm a university student who uses B5 sized paper for my notes and I would like to print my GoodNotes pages out onto my regular B5 paper.

    Thank you

  15. I've been making stickers to go together to make a whole picture, but I can't put them in the order I choose. They keep covering each other up in the wrong order I would like t put them in the order I choose.

  16. It will be much helpful while presenting screen, or making recorded notes.

    Viewer will easily be able to see, where my pen tip is now, and for which statement I am currently talking about.

  18. I want improved folder/ note organization where the same file can be placed in multiple locations without compromising space (e.g. if I have a folder labeled textbooks, but then want to access a specific text from a different folder like Year 1 Microbiology which includes lecture PDFs, notes, and review sheets).

  19. When using an Apple Pencil with the lasso tool, if I get too close to the edge of the page I frequently go just beyond the edge, causing the lasso tool to think that's the end of the lasso area selection. This typically does not result in the desired area being selected.

    Instead of terminating the lasso area selection when going out-of-bounds, snap the lasso selection to the page boundary and continue lasso area selection.

    (This seems to be the behavior of the macOS app when using the lasso tool with mouse. It would be good to enable similar behavior…

  20. Please add memory of colour to tools. Switching from pen to shape tool, I’m stuck in the same colour used in “pen” , so I have to change the colour . Different tool should have different colour memory
