  4. As a musician I would love so much to see a tool in Goodnotes which would allow to draw perfect parallel lines for music staves in any length. The optimum would be to be able to select the number of lines drawn, from only one when needed for percussion/pure rhythm notation to five for the regular system and even up to six lines (for guitar tablature). The famous music app ForScore has this feature in pro version which works great, but the general functionality of drawing and colouring in this app is so poor, I feel GoodNotes is light years…

  7. Lines telling users that what they’ve written down is align with others in another line. Also, when using a squared paper, I mean now we can move it freely without any lock when we move pass through those grid lines. But it would be better, if the words we’ve written down are stayed or locked on the grid line.

  8. I would love to have a toggle to activate something like a "zen mode". If toggled, there should be nothing except for the paper and a floating toolbar with selected tools only. The user has complete control over which tools to use here. For example, I never use stickers, so this would not be in my toolbar. However, I regularly switch between a blue ballpoint, a black ballpoint, a green brush and a red brush pen. These alongside with the eraser and lasso tool would be in my "Zen Floating Toolbar".
    Additionally, it would be very helpful to customize the…

  9. The folder organization will be better as expandable list structure like on MacOS or MS OneNote.
    So it would be possible to see folder and underfolder.

  13. It seems there has been a change in a text box function.
    The text box didn't move until I selected [T] or text function.
    But now, with a slight touch with my hand or finger, the text box is selected and moves around. This is very inconvenient because I usually take notes by typing. I have more than 150 pages written down and now whenever I try to review the materials with my apple pencil, it moves.

    In the video I intended to touch it with my hand because this happens suddenly. I hope you fix this problem.

  17. Merging pdf, either between existing goodnotes files or those in my files, is something I do fairly regularly. I have to usually turn to online sources that are sometimes a little sketchy looking rather than paying high fees to do something that should be simple. I would love to see this ability added to goodnotes!

  18. This way, each heading can have a user-defined default color, and you don't have to change it every time.

    This would pair nicely with keyboard shortcuts.

  19. Drawing Mathematical equations on a graph by hand is pretty exhausting. Especially, when Goodnotes doesnt really make it possible to draw them accurate.

    I would love to add a window to my GoodNote document where I can interactively plot a function like f(x)= x + ln(x).
    A kind of GeoGebra implementation in the document would be cool.
    That would help all the people who
    -are still in school
    -are studying something scientific
    -are working in a technical profession

  20. I have a notebook I’ve purchased that I want to get the original formatting and I can’t do that because it doesn’t show up in the store anymore and I would like to see my in app purchases history to redownload a new version of the notebook I already have. There needs to be a search history and search feature in the app so we can find these things.
