  1. I really love the good notes app but the experience if often frustating when I'll have to erase something. I think if there is a functionality like strike to erase it will be of lot of ease , it has to be like I scribble on the text and the text gets erased

  4. Maybe offer a wider selection of highlighters instead of just the rounded tip one! Visually, sometimes it looks nicer for my notes if the highlighter rip were slanted or simply had a flat end to it.

  5. I write with lined paper, but would like to remove the lines afterwards. It's just not feasible to do this at present, having to change the template of every page one by one.

  7. This was also listed under "Automatic Action Item" back in 08/19 - but I think it should be considered.

    I have many notebooks (one for each customer). I want the ability to mark written text as an "Action Item" in any notebook (Use the "lariat" tool?) and they automatically get added to an "Action Items" notebook so they are all in one place.

    Each item is listed under a separate bullet and can be deleted once completed.

    Having the option once lassoed to create a calendar reminder / update would be nice, but probably far-reaching at this point.

  8. Now it is very difficult to make a perfect square with the shape tool. It would be nice if you add pre defined shapes or improve the shape recognition.
    Also a two fingers gestures to resize and rotate the figures would be awesome.

  9. Create palletes of colour pallette that go together. Similar to what Microsoft Office has, with various colour themes. This will be great.

    And then allow user to great their own colour themes. Where they can add up to like 10 colours into one theme.

  10. When I import about 5 photos, the PDF backup file becomes more than 40MB in size.

    I would like to have the ability to resize and compress images.

  11. Provide users the ability to quickly access resizable shapes or stencils when creating notes. This would greatly improve the speed and quality of my handwritten notes. Programs like Visio, OmniGraffle support stencil libraries of resizeable shapes. For example, a) Bullet Journaling uses specific shapes to denote specific meanings for captured text. To be able to drop an object on the page quickly at the start of writing a note would help speed thought capture. b) Predefined shapes would have individual handle/controls to allow the user to quickly take actions (copy, fill color, resize).

  12. It would be so cool if you could add sticky mage markers (see attachment) to your notebooks and PDF documents – just like in a "real" notebook. If you "click" on a page marker, you jump to that section. But the difference is, this does not have to be a structure point or something.

    Also, I cannot use bookmarks, because I cannot arrange those in several categories which I would definitely need.

    Also, this would be quite handy.

  16. More pens on the top tool bar -- I like to have a certain color for certain parts of my notes for medical school. I.e. green for treatment, red for disorder, blue for diagnosis, and then I write everything else in black so I keep having to go back and forth. Instead of like 3 choices being available at one time, having 5 or 6 would be awesome

  17. Like PDFExpert, a Scrollbar which you can drag and jump very fast to a specific spot. Unique would be that the scrollbar appears on the opposide of what you setted regarding right-or left-handed.
    Thanks GoodNotes time great job, I'm looking forward for all the new features.

  19. Using the „open in new Window“ Split Screen Mode should be enabled with just using one window, so you can duplicate your document you actual using without opening another document by unnecessary.

  20. I use the Apple pencil for writing and would like 1 finger scrolling all the time. Currently the 1-finger scrolling setting only kicks in until after I write the first stroke using the pencil. It's annoying that I have to remember to scroll using 2 fingers before I write the first word.
