  1. I study math and sometimes I speedrun my way through a problem set, and in the long run, having to add 100+ pages one by one can become a bit annoying, since there could easily be a feature to add x pages of the current template.

    e.g. add 20 pages with the current template after the current page

  2. I hope to develop crayons similar to those in iPhone memos. Writing with crayons is really beautiful.

  3. I was trying out ZoomNotes after discovering adding to a note on my phone is kind of terrible in GoodNotes, and they had a handy shortcut that would help a lot in GoodNotes: When placing a text box, double tapping prompted whether I wanted the box to fill the page. I agreed and just that easy I can add properly (horizontally) aligned text to the note. GoodNotes could add a similar feature pretty easily and it would make the iPhone and Mac apps more useful for adding to notes.

  4. Physics major here, I'm finding it incredibly difficult to graph functions using the current curve option. It would be much easier to have an option that makes graphing all sorts of functions easier. So far, the only app that comes close is Colla notes, but I'd prefer to use good notes.

  5. GoodNotes documents can get quite large over time. Synchronizing (and backing up) them on constantly uses ridicules amounts of data (sometimes up to 1GB in a single day).
    Using GoodNotes in school, this poses a big problem, as we currently don't have working WiFi. Connecting my iPad to my iPhone's Personal Hotspot is always a story of force closing GoodNotes, connecting to the Hotspot, doing whatever, disconnecting and relaunching GoodNotes as I have a limited amount of high speed cellular data.

    To solve this, GoodNotes could support iOS native Low Data Mode, which users can set system wide on a…

  6. when creating a shape you have du manually select the shape to adjust the size at the knots in the corners, preselection right after creation would be great.

  8. Much like words or google docs, when you select text type to Heading 1,2,3. Outlines will automatically add the Heading to Outline page(like in the picture).

    This would be version useful and saves times when taking notes. still keep the "Add to Outline" button.

  10. will be widely used for mathematical equations

    the left side will be what I write, the write side will be what it will transform into. this can be also used for irregular shape or time consuming shapes to draw but is used often.

  11. I would like to add the possibility to choose which pages to export and not export them all or just one. This update would be very useful for school

  12. I'm coming from Samsung Notes that had a tool called the "Change Style" tool. I would click on this tool and select the new style (pen thickness, color, etc) that I want to apply. Then I would slide the tool across the stroke that I wish to change. I absolutely loved the feature and I think it would be really nice to have.

    Consider the use case where I wish to change the color of a few words in my handwritten sentence. Right now I have to click on the lasso tool, draw a circle around the words, tap on…

  13. ISSUES: When formatting text in the textbox the format is lost if the size of the text is changed after giving it format. It should not.
    As a tip, the 'line spacing' tool should not go as precise as 0,01 per step, that is not useful (as the text size, 1 per step should be OK).

    When editing (typing) a text box from a page, and want to edit another text box from another page (typing) there is an error that is not user friendly. The text box can not be edited until the previous textbox from the first page…

  14. As a medical student I have to go through lots of lectures and content daily. I have been using onenote as it allows for a fast importing of powerpoints when you convert the slides into PNG file types so i can make notes around them. Im struggling with goodnotes as although you can very quickly import these slides you cant make notes around the slides and you cannot import the slides onto the page of the notebook eg 2x slides per page without doing screenshots which takes a very long time for a lecture with over 100 slides in it.…

  15. A stabilizer setting for pens in GoodNotes!

    Currently, when you go look on the GoodNotes App, on the Apple App Store, the previews show that you're able to easily draw these examples and diagrams for notes.. but it's VERY difficult to do in reality.

    If you talk to any Digital Artist, they'll tell you a stabilizer one of the most important features to have in any drawing program.

    I'm not trying to draw anything fancy, really. It's just really hard to draw remotely anything without the lines being jagged.

    More flexibility with the brush settings, in general, would help users…

  16. I think many people want better use of theyre Keyboard. So it would actually be worth bringing a MacBook with you, and not only using GoodNotes for Handwriting.

  17. Google Docs has options to change the presets for each section (title, header, body, etc.)

    We use different fonts and sizes (sometimes colors) for each part of our notes, so adding this feature may be beneficial!

    Text Styles may also be the correct verbiage

  19. Can there be a calligraphy pen option, a gel pen option that has the glitter color pallet, and a roller ballpoint pen. Also when you lasso text it shows what color the text was in and if you reside text you can spread it out horizontally or longitudinally and not both ways. Also when you try to use certain highlighter colors together the darker color will be on top even if you’re trying to have it as the shadow

  20. I think that is critical to have and option, that when you are on read mode and you select text, you can configure to highliht it automatically, without the need to press the higlight option every time.
