  1. It would be convenient to add blocks from several sheets to the structure so that they can then be dragged together inside the document.

  2. I think it would be a nice add to the app if, every month or year, we would receive a summary of the number of real paper sheets that we saved now that we use digital ones. After some time, it could also tell us how many trees we saved or how many we could save in the future if we continue to use the app. Overall, this could be a good way to promote Goodnotes with friends or family!

  6. Currently it takes quite a bit of effort to swipe between pages in Goodnotes. I think this was possibly a conscious choice but it has been this way at least since Goodnotes 4. Swiping takes a large travel distance on the screen by the user’s finger, and not just the velocity of the swipe. I feel like the interface should line up with Apple’s native page swiping feel (think pdfs in Books or the App Drawer).

    The current threshold to change pages makes sense for adding new pages, but it makes swiping between pages more difficult than it needs to…

  7. There are many great templates included in GoodNotes, but many times none of them are right for the format or type of notebook I'd like to create.

    It would be great if there would be some sort of page template design import ability. For instance a vector design of a template page in a SVG or PDF format.

  8. If you want to add some extra points to your note, but you don't have that much space left, you can use the “insert note” feature, where a small icon can be placed anywhere in the note. When the icon is touched a small note pops up , where one can write. This feature is already there in other pdf annotating apps. I have attached screenshots of another app.

  9. I would like to have the ability to add videos or GIFs to my pages. I imagine it to work like adding images. I would be an awesome addition to digital note taking.

  10. Sometimes I copy text from Evernote into GoodNotes, but it's too long to fit on one page. Instead of continuing onto the next page, it disappears beneath it. Please make text boxes capable of spanning multiple pages.

  14. As a developer I would love to have the ability to use markdown on the Mac app for more natural writing flow. And perhaps some more natural Mac feeling when editing files. Like the use of keyboard shortcuts for deselecting a text box (eg. esc)

  15. Give us a Hex selector tool that we can use to select a color from a portion of a pre-created notebook to match the theme of the notebook. Right now we have to use an external Hex color selector and upload a picture to that program and then go back to Goodnotes to input that Hex code to get the color. Also, give us the option to create palettes that we can quickly select back and forth between colors that we have curated.

  16. I feel that the auto advance window is a bit annoying, when you are concentrating on making your handwriting readable and it just moves on when the blue box is on the left.

    I would like to improve the box by putting the function as an icon or enable when the zoom appears, so that you can enable and disable it rather than going to the setting of documents.

    Also, it would be nice if the blue box for auto advance can be top or below the whole document within the zoom, as you can have option of switching top…

  17. When you draw some shapes on top of each other and you would like to align the shapes perfectly, you can't select the shape you draw afterwards. May you can do it better. E.g. you can select all shapes near the area you have tapped with your finger.

  18. Allow a thicker textmarker. The 7.7 mm aren't enough for some slides.
    I also use sometimes the textmarker for highlighting something by holding the marker for a perfekt rectangular - and therefore it also should be possible to make a thicker line.
