  1. There are a lot of times where a sketch,graph,shape is symmetrical around a point and copying one side of the graph for example won’t do the job. It would be really easy and precise if the lasso tool had vertical and horizontal flipping.

  2. a. No ability to edit pen thickness AFTER having written. I would like to be able to select various bits of writing and make them all the same thickness.

    b. Resizing handwritten text changes thickness (weight) of what's been written.
    Editing these resized notes exacerbates this problem; have to experiment to find a suitable pen weight so that new text matches weight of existing text.

    c. Zooming in does not scale pen weight - so zooming in and writing additional text means having to experiment with an appropriate pen weight in order for new writing to match existing writing.

  4. The addition of a tool to blur individual word or parts of images. To use for studying on it own or to create flashcards after using ‘take screenshot’. Ease of function similar to highlight tool

  6. Please add a feature that can analyse text in images (like Google Lens)
    - so that you can find text in pictures with the search tool
    - so that you can mark and copy text from images

  8. Having a hexagonal would make chemistry note taking so much easier. Especially in higher level chemistry since there are so many different compounds you have to learn.

  9. It would be nice to finally get rid of blue menu bar while editing..
    Maybe you could instead ADD a floating QUICK MENU bar, for most important menu choices.. ( Like pen/ereaser/lasso ,colour, text) Or less even..
    OR: Implement a radial QUICK MENU..You could make it accessible via gesture, like let's say : click and hold pen together with ONE FINGER tap or soo..
    That would make it posible to write with NO distractions and optimal space

  10. Hi, I find sometimes I could not get my files synced. When I launch the app, I sometimes have to wait for sync, which is waste of time. Especially when I use my device to modify my files, I shift to another device. It will do nothing and I really want a button or something like pull down to refresh to sync all my files manually. I think I could be useful, thanks.

  11. Please I want the feature of converting handwritten notes to text in real time because nowadays First I have to copy the text and then paste it and then erase the handwritten notes.It is a complicated process ,So please add a feature which convert handwritten notes directly into text and only showing text.
    I need this because I have to make my notes clean and it would be also easy for me to read by notes when it is written in text.

  12. Add a "Duplicate" item to the selection pop-up menu so one can duplicate a selection with one tap instead of having to first select copy, then press-and-hold to show the pop-up menu, then select paste.

    The duplicated selection’s position could be determined by available canvas space or simply be shown slightly overlapping the original selection.

    I’ve attached an image showing the desired behaviour.

  14. I'm used to always copying & pasting links into my notes in order to support my research. It's frustrating that I can't do this in GoodNotes. If I copy & paste a link into a text box, it wont be clickable. Please consider making this feature a top priority in future updates because it is required for students, teachers and people doing research. My notes aren't as useful when I can't include links that will work. I really just want to be able to tap on a link to open it and then tap back to go to the GoodNotes…

  16. I'd love to be able to write in full screen mode - sometimes I'm just doing maths exercises, all I need is a black pen and double tap to erase. I just wish we could have the read-only mode screen real estate, while writing. I don't need the toolbar or document tabs most of the time!

  19. Sometimes, I wanna to edit the page after I did notes. Like add a picture. If GoodNotes has a function can put handwriting notes into a transparent layer, I can move it to anywhere, even move to another page. So that I don’t have to erase and write again.

  20. Offer an integrated option that can allow users to create or edit templates. It could be a desktop-version or a webapp or whatever, but it is so frustrating that I can't simply create my own darkmode templates from the whitepaper templates. I would love to have a customizable template feature as well, perhaps mod some aspects of a page or have a selector of template variants.
