  1. I often use the automatic snap/straighten feature to straighten lines and attach them to circles.

    However I get mad every time because the snap feature attaches the line at odd positions on the circles. I would expect lines to be attached at points distanced by 30 or 45 degrees.

    What happens is that every time I have to edit manually the attach position of the line.

    You can see from the image and the short video that the straight line is tilted.

    Can this issue be fixed?

    I also attach the same example with two rectangles: there is no issue…

  2. I love the lasso tool. It’s so useful. But I still can’t rotate text boxes!

  3. Is it just me?
    - You look at a part of your page
    - select the writing box
    - and it jumps to a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT part on the page

    So you then have to zoom out, orientate yourself, and then zoom back in to where you were originally trying to write.

    Clearly a programme glitch. Please look at this quick-win Mr/Mrs Engineer.

    A completely brilliant indispensable programme, so well thought through, I rave about it to everyone......apart from this INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING jumping.

    Please please please fix (please please).

  5. I use one document for my work. And each day I need diferent pages. Now I need to delete all bookmarks and prepare bookmarks for another day. If I could do this preparation in advance for all the days with diferent packs of bookmarks, it would save lot of time.

    Using outlines doesn't work for this need.

  6. We are already able to copy an image to clipboard with the lasso tool.
    Would be great if we could insert that image directly from clipboard without saving it to photos which will not create junks in the photos. A pretty small idea but an efficient one

  8. Turning the highlighter marks into pen colors (this will obscure the text, which is what I need) allows me to temporarily hide the key word and turn them into fill-in-the-blank questions that I can memorize

  9. When adding (pasting) pages to a existed document, it would be great if the width of the added page is adaptive to the width of the existing pages if all pages of the document are of the same size. If not all pages are of the same size, then allow users to choose the width, e.g. existing page width (A3/A4/…), same as preceding page, etc.

  12. By adding variables (for example a date variable), the user wouldn’t have to rewrite the date ever time.

  14. when you use the select tool and use the color option, you should get the option to have multi-recolor, such that you can see each color used in the selected region and get the option to switch each color to another color manually, while also having an all - recolor option to change everything which we have now

  15. It would be great to a have a "visual graph" of the audio recordings (volume level).

    Use case:
    While listening to a recording of a long lecture\meeting you can easily navigate to parts with higher volume (speaking parts) and avoid silent ones.

  16. It would be great if one could move/drag the page higher, so that the hand would still lie on the tablet when one wants to write at the very bottom of the page.

    • It should be possible to fetch the desired color from the page, for example from an image.
    • Change the name of the audios, and have something that would appear if that specific page had an audio. | It was good to have an option where what we wrote during the audio didn't stay on the page, or that for example we could record the red pointer together with the audio.
    • The option to adjust the position of an object and "send to the back" or "bring to the front", also divert is possible.

  17. We are an engineering office and work very intensively with GoodNotes to document construction sites. For this we insert many images into prepared documentation templates. In order to ensure a uniform layout, the images currently have to be inserted manually into the placeholders. Here we would like to have a scaling function (proportional and unproportional) in which the dimensions of the image can be specified numerically.

  18. It is hard to edit the title when the notebook is opened because of the Split View window. It always prioritizes the Split View option menu, which makes it quite frustrating when trying to edit the title. Either make the title offset to the side or have a button that enables editing so it is not so close to the Split View button.

  19. One thing that would be great is a way that the page can be locked into place when zoomed in and using vertical scroll.

    When I take notes, I use an A4 page and double click to zoom it in and write. But one thing that annoys me so much is sometimes my hand or arm will touch the page and then the page will be shifted to the left or right.

    I propose a small lock button that allows you to lock a page in place, from moving left or right, but still keeps the vertical scroll.
