  1. I love GoodNotes, and it's been a lifesaver with returning to grad school. I use it for all of my reading, which is all digitised this term, but as someone with a reading disorder, I would love if there was a way to turn on an accessible reading ruler, ideally with an adjustable size and colour overlay.

  2. It could be good that if the pen cursor of GoodNoted 5 for Mac is changed to the cursor in OneNote (simply a small dot instead of a cross).

  5. I share my Bullet Journal with a virtual assistant so she knows what I’m working on and can pick up tasks from it. But sharing for collaboration is all or nothing — every notebook and full editing permissions. Read-only permissions and collaboration on a single notebook would be helpful.

  6. The flash card studying window on a mac is not using the screen size. The window on an iMac is so small that the cards are only barely readable even if the application is opened as a full screen window.

  8. On iPad Pro connected to Apple Magic Keyboard, text editing is extremely buggy. It becomes uneditable, unmovable, and sometimes even text defaults aren’t applied.

  10. In goodnotes its not possible to change ink thickness after writing.
    To change ink thickness, one has to rewrite it with a different pen thickness.

    This is a basic requirement of a handwritting app

  11. I want GoodNotes to adapt to iOS and iPad OS by pressing the long scroll bar. As shown in the photo. In other Apps, I can press the scroll bar for quick scroll, but it is invalid in GoodNotes!
    I'm quite surprised that this iOS system feature has been two years since iOS 13. GoodNotes is still not adapted, which has brought a lot of trouble to use. I hope it can be adapted as soon as possible, and the experience brought by a little improvement is huge! Thank you to GoodNotes team!
    希望GoodNotes适配iOS和iPad OS的长按滚动条进行滚动。如照片所示。在别的App中,我可以长按滚动条进行快速活动,而在GoodNotes中是无效的!我是挺惊讶的,这个iOS系统特性自iOS 13以来已经两年了,GoodNotes还是没有适配,给使用带来了不少麻烦。希望早日适配,一点点小改进带来的体验提升巨大!感激开发团队!

  12. Give the ability to create a blank page (pure white) using the current template size. Often, when importing slide decks into goodnotes, they have varying sizes and I'll have to go into MSPaint or something and create a blank slide template to import with the proper resolution size. So giving the ability to not only copy the current template but cover it with a white page would be awesome! Thanks

  13. Lasso tool can also change stroke/tool of the already written note. We should be able to change it from Fountain Pen to Brushed one. And, lasso tool can be used in fine shape form like we can in Notability

  14. hi, i'm writing for asking that why can't this software automatically adapt to landscape iPads? Every time you open a new file, you need to manually resize it, which is inconvenient. look forward to your reply. thank you.

  17. The names on the tabs at the top of the screen are hard to read as the lettering is only a few shades darker than the color of the tab itself. It would be great if you could increase the contrast between those two colors or give users the option to change it. Thanks.

  19. Recognize a double-tap to change to drawing mode. Could also do triple-tap to change to erase. Or let user assign the action.
