Desktop (Mac) Version Very Clunky
Using Goodnotes on the desktop app is pretty clunky. The logic on how to move things and add things and resize is not intuitive. Right now its logic seems to be similar to a layout software such as InDesign or a yearbook creation program. But it is far less slick and responsive. Since navigating the program is not intuitive compared to other document editors it should have a very responsive and precise movement and editing.
Ideally moving any element - text box, sticker, or photo - wouldn't require switching between tools. Selection would be global (not requiring switching tools in order to just move). There could still be the buttons to add a photo or add a text box, but being able to select different elements would be type independent.
At present as my video shows, moving around the elements requires switching back and forth with the buttons. It is also difficult to edit text without accidentally resizing the text box. It would be helpful if you could type in the number you want for the text size instead of having to use the slider or click the plus and minus buttons.

Automatically create flash cards
When taking notes, it would be helpful if there was a way to create flashcard desks automatically from a document. I envision is being something where we could select the text that we want, and then there would be an option within the menu to automatically turn that text into a flash card. It could also be something where we could take a screenshot like we normally can with the lasso tool and then have an option there to turn it into a flashcard and then have the ability to select what we want blocked out on the front of the flashcard (similar to Anki’s image occlusion feature).

Outline/ Stroke for Text
I really wish they would add to their text options a stroke/outline. This would be especially helpful for headings. You can duplicate writing, change the colour and size but trying to line it up never gives a perfect outline.

flash cards improvement
Please improve the flash card tool. It would be very useful if there were more options to it.
Please add an option to see a seperate stack of flash cards you got wrong. Or any other way to review those flash cards seperated from the ones you got right.

Dynamic/ compact tool bar
I think there should be a smaller version of the tool bar that doesn’t take much space in screen
dynamic option will be a great addition because it allow us to customize the tool bar however we want for example making it smaller, auto hide feature (like the one in notes app in iPad).40 votes -
Pages are auto enlarging in Continuous page scrolling with portrait screen mode
Under the continuous page scrolling with the pdf slides under 16:9 ratio, pages are auto enlarge out of the screen edges, causing me to have to keep scrolling also left to right to view the whole content on a page. Please fix this.

Shape tool that works similar to Microsoft Word's shape tool
Have a second shape tool, or maybe an option in the current one, that works like the Microsoft word shape tool. Choose a shape from a predefined, yet extensive, list. Be able to choose outline and fill color (including clear), and maybe even opacity. Once it's placed on the page allow scalability of the whole shape, rotations, and even adjusting points on the shape to make warped shapes. Included here should be arrows, a line, and a dotted line.

Make rulers and compasses available
I want a ruler that moves on GoodNotes according to the magnification of the note. Sometimes I want to draw a line that is accurately lengthed in your notebook. I also want a function that allows me to draw a circle centered on a certain point.

Presentation mode in split screen
I use GoodNotes for teaching (and it‘s great for that). However I‘d love widgets like timers for students. I use classroomscreen.com for timers and soundlevel sensors, which are oddly specific requirements for teachers. So I don‘t think features like these will be implemented.
If I could use the presentation mode while in splitscreen, I could show timers/other widgets on one side, while not losing space in my GoodNotes document. Also I don‘t want students to see messages popping up on my screen.5 votes -
Add Support to insert ANIMATED / .GIF images
I taught of it while making notes on liver Anatomy, if I could add 1 .gif image of a 3D organ, It can save me from adding 4 images in 4 directions.

sync between devices in real-time
I've found that when I have Goodnotes open on my Mac and iPad, the syncing is very slow - I like to add pictures on my computer and then write notes on my iPad; however, it can take up to 30 minutes for the pictures I paste from my computer to show up in the iPad version of the app... would it be possible to add a button/feature for us to sync in real-time for the specific documents we're working on?

Set more custom default fonts for the text box
It would be nice to be able to set more custom default fonts, like the handwriting mode already has.This can be efficient when there is often a need to separate the headline from the body text.

Introduce an alternative dark mode?
The current dark mode in GN is simply turning the theme into dark, but not the document. This is not particularly useful, and the dark mode seems to appeal only to people who at the start make the notes with a dark background. What I suggest is to introduce two types of dark nodes and let users have the freedom to choose between the two. The other dark mode would turn every colour into its “opposite” colour (MarginNote does this with their dark mode, and I do find that experience much better). It would be really great if you could introduce this alternative dark mode!!! (For the moment, I never use dark mode when using GoodNotes because all my notes and pdf have a white background and turning to dark mode has no use whatsoever).

auto linking to have a turn off option
i noticed that they implimented for goodnotes to create an auto link whenever you type “.com” at the end of anything which is very frustrating when i am not trying to attatch any links. i have to click the link to unlink it only for it to come back the second i continue typing. Can you create a feature in the settings where this feature can be turned off?

More text templates
I frequently use different fonts for titles, the body of my text, subtitles, and also, depending on the notebook I am using. Could you create a feature that let us save more than one default text so that it is easier to change the format of the things I mentioned above? I find the lack of this feature to be the most frustrating thing with Goodnotes. Otherwise, I love the app. Thanks!

Move further the page in zoom window.
Make us able to drag the page further in zoom window. It’s hard to write at the end of the page.
