  8. A lot of users of Goodnotes are students in which they use this for studying and reviewing. I suggest that instead of 3 colors of highlighters being readily showed, how about increase them to 5. So that we don’t have to change it from time to time. And sorry but a lot of people uses at least 5 highlighter colors when studying

  9. There is often the need to change the colour of a handwritten note or a marker sign through the lasso/lazo instrument, but we can’t choose between our personally customized colours: instead there are only a few default ones, that never match the ones that we have been using for the rest of the document.
    It would be very handy of you add this functionality to the said instrument.

  10. A tool that allows you to set several ‘Stamp’ point, and when you write something, the same will appear from each ‘Stamp’
    This can make something easier, such as write duplicated words, or draw parallel lines
    Write something once, as if wrote the same many times

  11. Hello, there is a bug in version for the MacOs: 10.15.4.

    I am not able to undo anything, unless I add a textbook in the notes. That is, if I start to draw, then neither command + Z, not undo option in "Edit" do anything. If I put a text block on a page, then undo becomes available.

  13. Add a toggle that just the start and end points of a line get connected
    Without it, lines often get crooked

  14. Simplify the "delete page" feature by adding it to the More menu. This would make the deletion process much quicker, logical (and easier to remember).

  15. "Add images from Dropbox, iCloud, etc. "
    This theme is explained to be solved yet.

  16. Feature to denote a particular "to do" which will automatically sync with apple reminders across devices. This way, it rounds up all of the "to do" tasks in one spot and brings to your phone/other devices

  17. I switch between pen and lasso probably about 10 times minimum in 5 minutes, if not more. I write things and like to continuously organise my content, my thoughts as I go. This is especially useful in process diagraming and mind mapping.

    Automatically turning off lasso once used would be annoying if you have to organise multiple things sequentially.

    I would like to see this feature improved by being able to swap the double-tap Apple Pencil 2 gesture for Pen --> Lasso --> Pen, rather than Pen --> Eraser --> Pen as it is by default.

    An additional option to…

  18. Apple Watch version. Even if it’s just to be able to see flagged pages that you can see quickly on the run or be able to dictate to a quick notes page that you can write up later when at your other devices.

  19. Currently when you import or crop an image, it seemingly randomly resizes depending on how much you’re zoomed in etc. If you crop part of a full sized page, it will show the cropped part full sized after the cropping too. This is a very tedious process.

    I create a lot of sticker sheets with labels, icons etc. If I export them as separate files from my graphic software, I’d like it to be imported in goodnotes at the exact dimensions I exported them at. Mainly since my dimensions are based on the document I am working with, so a…
