  1. It looks like you are getting a lot of requests that fall into this category. I write small. The zoom window is magnified just too much for me, so even though my writing looks much better if I use this function it is tiny in the document. Writing in huge big strokes in the zoom window means it takes me longer to write. If I could reduce the zoom window height by 20%, this would help a ton.

  3. I'd like it to be easier to switch between the eraser and my custom pen setting while writing. A two finger tap or holding down a finger to erase would be awesome.
    I use an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil for GoodNotes.

  4. I often need to copy things between multiple pages in the same document. For this reason it would be nice to have the same document in more than one tab with different pages.

  5. When you Take a picture with the Camera (I use it in the classroom as document-Camera) most pictures are too dark or suffer from insufficient brightness.

    A quick and simple brightness and contrast adjustment will help a lot.

  6. Using a zoom box most of the time, I often found that both the tool bars---background toolbar and the zoom box toolbar--- can stay together, so the stylus doesn't have to jump up and down for toolbar options.

    hope to suggest that the entire background toolbar gets lower -so becomes a zoombox tool bar--as the zoombox opens.

  7. A few versions ago, the zoom functionality worked so that if you were zoomed more than 100% and zoomed out, it would snap to 100%. And the same goes for being zoomed out less than 100% and zooming in; it would snap to 100%.

  9. In my online textbook we have sticky notes that when you press on it, it expends to reveal the sticky note you wrote and when you press it again it minimizes to a bubble to save space on the page. I would love to have this feature!!!

  15. Whether it be my handwriting, a sticker, picture or whatever i want to add link directly to them and also linking other pages of the same notebook or some other notebook so by tapping once I’m seamlessly taken to that page. Might help in making indexes

  16. It’s mostly relevant when reading a PDF textbook which has information and diagrams connected on both pages.

    It is super annoying if you want to annotate it and you have to switch between two windows of the same app just to do that.

    Thanks!

  17. I like to color code my notes. It would be so helpful to have the option to set a different color palette for every notebook without it affecting the rest, rather than having to rearrange my palette every time i want to take notes for another subject

  18. The "smart" dark mode will essentially invert the colors of the actual document, not just them them of the app interface. Take a look at how CollaNote handles this on iPad, or how Outlook handles dark mode in emails. It's not a pure inversion of colors, rather, the background goes black and the colors you are using are adjusted to be more visible against a dark background. For example, if you are using a dark blue pen, on the dark-mode background it still shows as blue, but a much lighter blue. As opposed to inverting which would just make it…

  20. On the new update is now harder to quickly change the thickness of the pencil and hglg, would be great to slide from up to down on the icon that you press to open the thickness selector menu to quickly switch to the next thickness level and from down to up to the previous one.

    I'm a student who writes notes with lots of different thicknesses and colors, the new update made me more productive when switching colors but less productive when changing thicknesses

    There's a video with the desired gesture
