  3. It would be practical to be able to select which files you would like to upload to iCloud, as, if you don‘t have enough storage for every single file, you can‘t even share a single file with anyone, which is quite annoying.

  4. In previous version my battery was draining and fetching heating issue while using GoodNotes. Then I got updated version telling that it will be resolved. But for me it hasn’t been resolved yet.

  5. Add Restore Page to the top right (...) menu (rather than requiring that we go back to the trash bin to restore (to make it quicker and easier to restore if the wrong page is deleted inadvertently).

  6. ONE NOTE has a glitter pen option and adding this to good notes would make the notetaking app the best one out there!! I added an image example, seriously consider this so I can only use good notes and not have to bounce between apps all the time.

  7. Please increase max. Pen thickness to 5mm or 10mm. Right now it is only 2mm, which makes blackening (redacting) text very cumbersome and looks messy.

  8. I use GoodNotes for my planning and now create my planner in keynotes first so I can link the tabs to the right page. I’ve seen more people suggesting this feature comes in GoodNotes itself too so you don’t need keynotes anymore.

    I want to add something to that suggestion: I would also like to link objects or text boxes so what you write on one place will be mirrored to another place.

    For example; I have a monthly overview but also days and weeks. I have in every day page a square in the same size as in the…

  11. This will help those of us who can't draw a straight line. The function would work by tapping two points, then everything would be highlighted in between and would default to a straight line in a horizontal, or vertical manner.

  12. With the recent update, a pop-up window started to appear whenever I drag my GoodNote note to add a page. This new change is extremely uncomfortable whenever I am in a rush to write down professors' comments. Please remove this feature ASAP.

  13. Ipad用戶,以前在不使用編輯工具時也可選取文字。更新後要在使用編輯工具下才能選取文檔的文字,操作變得極不方便且不能用apple pencil選取文字!建議改回原來版本!

  14. Having extra space to either side of the document that you can scroll over into so that when you're writing on the edge, you have a place to rest your hand.
    For me, I'm right-handed, and writing near the right-hand edge is always hard since there's nowhere to rest my hand, so it'd be nice to have extra space to the sides

  15. When selecting text with the lasso tool, you should be able to choose to either resize or rotate. It is very hard to do one of the options individually in the current setup with the resize/rotation combo button, especially with geometrical shapes that shouldn’t change its size even a millimetre but i want to rotate. (I linked a very simple example as well. As you can see, when rotating using the current rotate/resize combo button, the size isn’t 100% the same anymore)

    Basically just add an option to rotate without changing size please

  16. The number of grid spaces vertically (# of columns) should be a mutiple of 6 (or 12 would be even better). That way we can use it to divide our notes into however many columns as we see fit!

  18. I think that overall, good notes is excellent. However, I tend to have difficulties in accessibility between my devices and when trying to type on one device and write on the other. Sometimes my laptop won't even let me type and I will have to completely shut down the app and start it up again, losing my progress at times. It is incredibly frustrating and I wish it could be easier to use when I want to switch from handwriting to text. Also, bullet points!

    1. Select handwritten text and convert it directly to typed format.
    2. Convert objects (Text) as separate entities/objects
    3. Allow selection and movement of text similar to handwritten notes (where you can lasso a letter, word, sentence, or paragraph and move only that section as opposed to the whole text box
