  1. There are three different sizes of erases to choose. It would be great to change the size, so that I can erase very small written things.

  2. When the writing is too small or the pen thickness not thick enough, one can change the size of the writing separately of its thickness. Now it is only possible to select the whole area to make the ratio bigger or smaller, i.e. the whole word becomes bigger and thicker at the same time. It would be nice to be able to change size and thickness individually, e.g. bigger and same thickness or same size but thicker lines.

  3. When I use my Mac along with my iPad for Goodnotes, I will use my laptop to copy and paste longer text into my the notebook that I am working on. So if I copy and paste from a website, I always have to change the font and font size to what I want it to be.

    I think there should be a button in the styling area that says "Convert to Default" or maybe even a pop up button after you paste something that says "Convert to Default" or "Convert to Default Font."

    This would be very convenient!

  4. I frequently go between black and yellow paper templates, depending on class and revisions.

    Rather than having to manually switch the three colors and pen sizes with each template, what if we could assign a preset for a template.

    Ex: each time I open my black squared template, I'd have white/pink/blue colors set at .3, .5, and 1 but if I switch/insert my yellow dotted template, those presets would switch to black/yellow/blue (etc etc).

  5. Maybe add things like a ruler / triangular ruler to make it easier to use goodnotes in math / geometric classes.

  6. Please make corner focused resizing to be an option for pictures and shapes. Resizing them to fit exactly in what I want is a nightmare because it is center focused, and the entire pic/shape changes.

  7. The design of the folders is pretty boring and i know you could make something way more modern and less techie.. those blue archivers are clearly not the best looking folder icons you can use, and while at it, plz let us change its colours so we can set different colours to different content of the folder.. would be easier to use, like university folders at green, stuff at blue, job at orange, etc...

  8. I write my notes in 2-3 languages, mainly in Indonesian which Goodnotes does not have a ‘recognize’ feature on. Please add Indonesian and also enable the search feature to search in more than 1 languages, this would be especially handy to bilingual/multilingual speakers and also language learners.

  9. Allow users to add a hyperlink hot spot. So that if you tap on it, it takes you to another page/area.

    This way you can create what seems like interactive mockups.

  12. For the lasso tool. The blank space where the colour and size selection is should be toggles for the lasso tool. Like if I want to lasso just the handwriting and not the image/highlights or if I don't want to move textboxes. This would be really useful when adding side notes to annotations

  13. I am studying Spanish, and I usually write the English translation of vocabularies in my GoodNotes Notebook. But the notebook can only recognize one of the languages which are sometimes a bit chaotic when I am trying to look for particular vocabularies. Thanks.

  14. As a left hander it often happens that the page jumps or the zoom changes while writing. It would be nice to have a button which locks the zoom and the position of the page. Alternatively I would like to have a sidebar on the left side to put my hand to reduce the page jumps and zoom changes.

  16. Hi,

    Wahed here. Please take love from Bangladesh. Currently am using GoodNotes almost regularly for my office and personal works. It's been working really great with my iPad and apple pencil. Kudos for the excellent work and execution :)

    However, I really find it annoying when I really need my note's references on a different platform. For example, I took my Credit Card balance calculation on iPad and at Bank, I have my Mac and my Android Phone. But, I have no references with me now. In another occasion, I previously sketched some flow of my office work and later…

  18. Add a palm rest option to GoodNotes 5 like there was in GoodNotes 4. It makes it a lot easier to make notes on my iPad, especially when getting towards the bottom of the screen where there is no option to move the paper higher so I can rest my hand on the screen. It's very hard to write with my hand held in the air trying to balance on the edge of the iPad. Hope what I've described makes sense.

  20. I think it would be nice to be able to add shapes. Especially being a college student, it’s hard to make the shapes all perfect especially with classes like organic. Or even a special area that is dedicated to various organic chemistry/math/science features (ie cyclohexane, benzene ring, wedges, dashes)
