  1. please add a feature that you can instantly resize an object after circling it with the lasso tool by zooming with two fingers. So you don‘t have to tap on “resize“.

  2. 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

  3. I think when circling objects to move them is amazing, but I wish we could resize it, such as making the object bigger or smaller

  4. A similar idea has been posted, but I want to make another point. Given you’re current framework where each page is a separate file, it should be relatively simple to add a way (probably the Share drawer icon) to copy that page file address link and paste it in other apps where if i click the link it would open GoodNotes up and show me that page.

    Bonus points if this link could be SHARED to other GoodNotes users (who do not even have the file) and it could open up that page on THEIR Mac/iPad/iPhone etc. This would be…

  6. The indent feature is currently only available on the left-hand side of pages. It would be very useful to have it on both sides.

  7. I have imported my own font to use, however, I am unable to use it as fast and efficiently as I wish because every time I create a new text box it goes to the standard font style and size

  8. I've found that when I have Goodnotes open on my Mac and iPad, the syncing is very slow - I like to add pictures on my computer and then write notes on my iPad; however, it can take up to 30 minutes for the pictures I paste from my computer to show up in the iPad version of the app... would it be possible to add a button/feature for us to sync in real-time for the specific documents we're working on?

  9. We should have the option to create/edit hyperlinks within Goodnotes. Pages get added and moved around and mess up the hyperlinks and we need the ability to fix them so the hyperlinks in our notebook or journal are still usable.

  10. when I'm writing in my notebooks I'm using the Cornell methode and write key words in a different colour. Adding filters to search (eg text that's only written in purple) would really come in handy when navigating through lots of pages.

  11. Hello. In notability there is a feature that I miss in GoodNotes 5. In Notability after you wrote with Apple Pencil you can change the style, line width, line style and color. In GoodNotes you can only change the color. It would be important to be able to change the thickness and style of the line as well. Thanks.

  14. I like to type down the notes. but as a Chinese, I type two languages.
    When I type English with the TimesNewRoman font, and then I want to type Chinese, it changes into the font that I don’t like automatically.
    What’s worse, when I want to type English again, it’s still using the font that i hate, this time it didn’t change automatically, I have to change the font by myself again, it’s so annoying.
    Please save the default font by typing languages.
    Please improve the experience of typing.

  15. The current flashcard study mode is just a small pop up window. Having a full screen flash card study mode would be VERY helpful in seeing smaller details.

  16. I would like the to have the ability to choose that accent colours within the GoodNotes app. I refer mainly to the blue strip at the top when viewing a document. Often, I turn my iPad onto the classic invert setting for nighttime viewing but the blue bar turns almost white when in dark or light mode on classic invert. I would like the ability to choose the colour of this blue bar.
