  1. It would be great to sync saved custom colours so that we won't need to make it again after reinstalling app or after installing it on multiple devices.

  2. Today, when you want to use the fountain pen in Green at a size of 1,5mm for some elements PLUS the ball pen in black at a size of 0,3mm, you have to always switch the 3 characteristics ALL THE TIME :

    1. Tap Pen > switch Fountain / Ball
    2. Tap Colour > switch the colour
    3. Tap Size > switch the size >> In real paper life, you drop the first pen and take the other one... it should the same here

    Solution Needed :
    1. You let us define / save the 3 elements at the same time & allow…

  5. Have the option to have multiple default text font options like Notability does. Having to change each time to make a different font or font size is very tedious so having the option to have some preset font options in font style and size will make Goodnotes unbeatable!

  6. when you copy/paste something and add it at another place/page, you may not see everything, since it overlaps the page. As long as you still have the edit-window open, it's not an issue. However, when you tap on the page accidentally and you lose th edit-window, you're not able to see the text which is not directly on the page.

  11. Either a second toolbar like the existing one (but much smaller, less tools, and movable on the entire display) or a movable „tool-point“ which opens some customized tools.

  12. Since there already is a feature to convert handwritten text.
    It would be very usefully if you could convert the text from pictures of handwritten notes or documents like textbooks to editable text.

  14. Automatic offloading of unused notes to iCloud. Similar to how Apple does for its apps, offloaded notes will remain visible as a thumbnail which will be downloaded locally when trying to open the note.

    This would help users with limited storage space to keep storage utilisation minimal.

  15. Now we only can save 3 pen colors and 3 pen thickness, but I would love to have more, something like 5, there is place tu put them, and we can have a setting of how many are showed, so who wants to have 3 can have 3 and who needs 5 can have them

  16. Please add the feature to Read and write a comments on imported PDF documents. Allow this feature in general as not everything can be written in a single page and this feature will allow to put little details on a small box which only opens when clicked. This is also great for productivity.

  17. Sorry, i really think that good notes was the best app overall to writing and using as notebook, but there's so much more user friendly features in notability that i cant live without.. and i used both apps arround the same time. Ill say the features you could had to make this app simply perfect:
    — the lack of a dark theme unless we get system wide dark mode is a bummer as i find your dark theme pretty good but i hate to use ios in dark mode
    — the tool bar has too many items and takes valuable…

  18. Since handwritten text lists can be broken apart much better than text, I would like to have a ‘convert text to handwritten text’ feature. We could even have nice handwritten ‘fonts’ that we could choose from.

  19. It’s not very practicable to write at the end of a page because there is no more space for the hand to lay. The bottom of the page is always set at the bottom of the screen.
    Please let it move upper.

    It could be also usefull to have the option to rotate freelythe paper.

    Thanks

  20. Improving the experience of text input much like you are typing in word document with dot points and possibly graphs.
    The current experience of typing text is merely disappointing
