  2. Allowing continuous scrolling while mirroring full page (audience doesn't see interface & zoom) would make much better use of the screen space during a online presentation (i.e. Zoom meeting). Specifically, I would like the top 3/4 of the screen to be the most recent written material whereas the bottom 1/4 of the screen would be the new material actively being added .

  4. 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)

  5. 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.

  6. It would be really helpful if I can add multiple images to one note. Curretly if I select multiple images in the photo app and import them in GoodNotes they open all in different notes. That‘s frustrating, because right now I need to manually import each image individually in GoodNotes to get them in one note.

  7. 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…

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. Imagine someone is writing in black paper with white pencil but he wants to print his notes. It would help if he could choose all the pages he wants to print and change both template of paper as well as the color of the pencil. Especially for the color there could be a choice that says change color A (specifically) to color B so as to not lose all other secondary colors.

  12. When we select a text in a pdf in goodnotes, we should get a 'look up' option similar to apple...

  13. Now, one has to go all the way to the left to bring out the page finder, choose one out of the small preview hoping I got the right one, because if not I’ll have to bring out the finder again and repeat until I find the page. This is incredibly unintuitive and time-consuming. Please move the page finder button to the right and allow preview on the sidebar with the selected page in the main window to allow easy page finding. Notability already does that. My preferred app is GoodNotes, so fingers crossed this will be updated soon.

  14. I Personally have a Microsoft surface that has touchscreen and a pen. It was offered as a gift, and I don’t have the funds to buy a new device, so with that the features of goodnotes will be great of windows.

  16. Group and ungroup favorite pages in one same document. For example, when you do literature reviews in academic work is always useful to group information related to one concept or research question. It would also be useful to see group favorite pages from different documents that have been label with the same name

  17. GoogleDrive, DropBox and OneDrive are available, but FTP/SFTP for share in own systems (for business or friends) isnˋt available.
    I think this can be useful for other tools.

  18. When formatting text for example by using underline, bold, cursive, the whole text is being formatted with the last effect being used in the text when changing font size. Please change it so that when changing the text size already formatted words are being saved and not applied to the whole text box.
