  1. I would love to see an erase feature added where you just circle around a specific section/word/etc. Then just click inside the invisible circle drawn and all of the stuff inside the circle erases. Sorta like how old smart boards did.

  4. It is very easy for users to accumulate tabs when using GoodNotes, especially since they don't have to choose to close or keep them when closing the app. As time goes by, the buildup of tabs hinders the user experience. For example, when opening an older document whose tab was never closed, the user has to swipe through the endless sea of tabs to find the document they were working on moments ago. Additionally, closing tabs rapidly could be improved on because when the user closes a tab, the next tab has to animate under the user's finger before they…

  6. To use Goodnotes under MacOS with a Wacom tablet, a hide cursor feature would be absolutely mandatory. Write from styluslabs has such a feature. It is actually rendering handwriting impossible if there is always this crosshair cursor present.

  7. When more than three documents are open at the same time the pages keep reloading when you cycle between them. Super annoying as it takes extra time, and the page zooms to default size. The iPad can keep apps running in the background for weeks without reloading so I’m pretty sure it could manage many more than three simple documents opened simultaneously.

  8. please make it work to scroll continuously on horizontal direction, as it is on vertical direction. When set to Horizontal, the pages flip to the next page. it is very uncomfortable when I compare two pages set aside.

  9. I often use enlarging tool for specific area. However, when I use this, blue area always emerges in the left side and it is really useless.

    I want the toggle function to the enlargement tool for GoodNotes.

  10. I really love Goodnotes, it‘s an awesome app I use everyday in my school-live. But please add settings, that allow the user to customize the color theme. So that the bar on the top and also selection-tools are in a color the user prefers. Also a setting to set the position of the tools to the left or the right side of the app. Lastly please add support for I-Work and MOffice so the user is able to create, edit and document those documents. Thanks a lot.

  12. I love digital notes with Goodnotes. But when you take notes on paper the sheet usually has lines (ruled) or a grid (squared) that are a fixed scale. I always have issues finding the right scale on a digital page as long as I cannot set a value for it. So I ended up taping in the side of the iPad screen a piece of lined sheet so that I zoom the digital sheet for the lines to match the paper lines. That way I have constant scale and I am not always trying to adjust my writing size to…

  13. Entendo que seria muito interessante que o Goodnotes, assim como outros leitores de pdf como Xodo, Noteshelf, Microsoft Edge etc, fizesse a sincronização automática dos arquivos retirados do Google Drive. Atualmente, a única coisa que o Goodnotes faz é enviar o arquivo modificado para uma pasta separada dentro do Google Drive. Seria interessante que o arquivo retirado do Google Drive, depois de alterado pelo Goodnotes, retornasse para a mesma pasta de origem do Google Drive.

  14. Select pen text using the lasso tool, and be able to adjust pen stroke just as you would color. This is a feature on Notability that I'm very jealous of because it makes it much easier to resize notes.

  15. Sharing a notebook is very convenient. What I would also like to see is the possibility to write-protect the shared notebook. I work at a school and share my notes with the students by exporting them as PDFs and uploading them to our learning management system. I have to do this over and over again after each new lesson. It would be easier for me to share the Goodnotes notebook directly as a link (all students use GoodNotes on the iPad) without students having the ability to change anything in my document/notebook.

  17. It would be nice to have different workspaces. Sometimes you have some material from a course and maybe you want review it in the future, but when you have a lot of material is a mess, because everything is mixed. For example on my degree in my 4 years, I have subjects that maybe I don't need to review actually and I've tagged or marked pages, when I mark new pages when I go to marked pages or favourites I can find all the content mixed. I would like to see what is marked or tagged in my actual workspace.…

  18. Ability to create outlines of documents like books , using AI rather than manually creating every single outline for easy accessibility of the subtopics or chapters within a document.

    Also the ability to copy and paste outlines from one document to another should be there.

  19. I use different colours/pen sizes for different documents. Would be great to be able to create a stationery set or 'profile' to easily switch instead of having to manually change my things every time.

  20. I need a template for organic chemistry--Specifically a hexagonal-lined notebook. These are imperative for note taking and problem solving in organic chemistry class and as I use Goodnotes mainly for my stem classes this would be very useful!
